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 small volume -poetic and intentionally brief- seeks to celebrate that inner dimension, that depth of spirit. May it invite readers to take part in the great prayer that Gaudí- so sparing in words, so abundant in form- surely longed to express through the Sagrada Família.
