The Sagrada Familia - Barcelona - Spain

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, otherwise known as Sagrada Família, is a church under construction in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), in 2005 his work on Sagrada Família was added to an existing (1984) UNESCO World Heritage Site, "Works of Antoni Gaudí". On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.

On 19 March 1882, construction of Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the church's crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.

Relying solely on private donations, Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, anarchists from the FAI set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans. In 1939, Francesc de Paula Quintana took over site management, which was able to go on with the material that was saved from Gaudí's workshop and that was reconstructed from published plans and photographs. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer-aided design and computerised numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. In 2014, it was anticipated that the building would be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death, but this schedule was threatened by work slowdowns caused by the 2020–2021 depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2024, an updated forecast reconfirmed a likely completion of the building in 2026, though the announcement stated that work on sculptures, decorative details and a controversial proposed stairway leading to what will eventually be the main entrance is expected to continue until 2034.

Describing Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art", and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages". The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Barcelona Cathedral).

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT RAYMOND OF PEÑAFORT The Patron of Canon Lawyers Feast Day: January 7

"May you never be numbered among those, whose house is peaceful, quiet and free from care; those on whom the Lord's chastisement does not descend; those who live out their days in prosperity and in the twinkling of an eye will go down to hell!"

The Third Master General of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and the patron of canon lawyers, was born in 1175 in Vilafranca del Penedès, Principality of Catalonia, Crown of Aragon (present-day Spain) to a noble family.

Of bright intelligence, he was already teaching philosophy in Barcelona at the age of 20. He went to Bologna, Italy at the age of 30 to obtain a doctorate in canon and civil laws. In 1219, he was appointed archdeacon of Barcelona, proving himself a perfect model of pastoral zeal, spirituality, and generosity to the poor.

Raymond entered the Dominicans three years later, and began laboring for the conversion of the Jews. Together with his confessor, Peter Nolasco, he founded the Royal, Celestial and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of the Captives (aka the Mercedarians), whose members were concerned with ransoming the Christians who were held captives by the Muslims.

During this period, he composed his work of canon law, known as the Decretals, a compilation of five books. Pope Gregory IX chose him as his personal confessor, and the penance he always received was to answer all the petitions presented by the poor.

A pious tradition has it that Raymond worked a truly extraordinary miracle at the occasion of a voyage to the island of Majorca to convert the Moors. He was confessor to King James I of Aragon, a faithful Catholic but also, unfortunately, a man who had not completely vanquished his vice of lust. The king had brought his mistress to the island, to which the saint vehemently objected, insisting that he send her away. 

Despite his repeated insistences the king refused, leaving him no choice but to depart for Barcelona. The kind forbade him this course of action and threatened to punish any ship captain who would dare help him leave. The saint exclaimed to his Dominican companion: "Soon you will see how the King of Heaven will confound the wicked deeds of this earthly king and provide me with a ship!"

The two approached the seashore, where Raymond removed his long black cloak and laid one end of it on the water, attaching the other end to his staff. With this make-shift mast, he bid his confrere to board 'the boat' with him, but his companion’s faith not being as strong, he refused. Raymond bid him goodbye, and making the sign of the cross, he shoved off and sailed away. His improvised vessel darting stealthily around the very ships which had refused to take him, sailors watching him from all up and down the shore shouted in astonishment and encouraged him.

He sailed on his 'cloak ship' the roughly one hundred and sixty miles to Barcelona in six hours, where his arrival was met with amazement by spectators. The king, for his part, was in utter awe of the miracle and gave up his concubines, accepting a chaste life. It is in memory of this episode from Raymond's life that he his often depicted sailing the sea on a boat made of the long, black cloak of the Dominicans attached to a staff.

In 1238, Raymond was elected as the third Master General of the Dominicans. He made the visitation of his order on foot and instilled into his spiritual children a love of regularity, study and apostolate. Raymond spent the rest of his life opposing heresies and working for the conversion of the Muslims in Spain.

On January 6, 1275, Raymond died at the age of 100 in Barcelona, Crown of Aragon. Beatified by Pope Paul III in 1542 and canonized as a saint by Pope Clement VIII in 1601, his major shrine can be found at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia in Barcelona, Catalonia.
