Did St Josemaria really hear confessions during the Spanish Civil War, risking arrest? Even in a zoo?
Clemente Este - Spain
During the early months of the Spanish Civil War St Josemaria was living in Madrid. He heard confessions, celebrated Mass, administered Baptisms, even at the risk of his life, if he knew that someone was in need of his priestly ministry.
He did his pastoral work as a priest in different ways: preached itinerant retreats, heard confessions in the open air, etc.
There’s no evidence that he heard confessions in the zoo.
