PRAYING WITH GAUDÍ FROM THE SAGRADA FAMÍLIA

Antoni Gaudí was deeply Christian— humbly so, imaginatively so— and Jesus Christ became his guiding reference, especially in the last years of his life. The Sagrada Família, in all it overflowing richness of forms and symbols, expresses that devotion without pause or limit. The basilica is, in its very structure, a vast prayer—offered to God, and inviting each of us to rediscover God in stone, in color, in light.

This book is intended for a broad yet deeply sensitive readership, interested in spirituality, art, and interior reflection, and seeking a contemplative reading experience rather than an academic study or a tourist guide. More specifically, it will appeal to:

• Believers and spiritual seekers who wish to deepen their prayer life through non-traditional paths, using beauty, symbolism, and architecture as ways of approaching God.
• Readers interested in Antoni Gaudí and the Sagrada Família, not from a technical or historical perspective, but as a spiritual and symbolic experience, where the basilica is understood as a vast prayer made of stone, light, and form.
• Lovers of poetry and meditative language, who appreciate brief, lyrical texts rich in meaning, suitable for silence, contemplation, and inner listening.
• People involved in pastoral work, catechesis, or spiritual accompaniment, who may find in this book an inspiring resource for personal or communal prayer.
• Readers drawn to the dialogue between faith, art, and culture, especially those who value the integration of thought, aesthetic sensitivity, and religious experience.
• Visitors to the Sagrada Família who wish to extend or deepen their visit beyond the physical space, transforming it into an interior and spiritual journey.
