Germán Gozalvo Andreu nacuqe August 30 1913 in Torrent near Valencia in Spain. Torrent at that time was not a small town as insignificant, but it’s incredible the number of Christians, lay, religious and secular priests, who provided the bullets of militants anarcho-communist persecution of Christians during the Spanish Civil War broke out in the years’ 30 of the twentieth century.
Germán showed little since the vocation to the priesthood and was able studies through scholarships earned thanks to his ability and his enthusiasm. Hhe received priestly ordination on July 14 1936, becoming a priest of the Archdiocese of Valencia, but the exercise of his ministry lasted even a month. He was arrested in August of that year, shot in Montserrat on September 22 1936, acknowledging his comagni cell: “Long live Christ the King!”.
This is in the previous decade had been the famous cry of the martyred Mexican Catholics, also fiercely persecuted, certainly not in the name of monarchical ideology, which is seen in Mexico and as far on the European continent, but rather in opposition to a regime that it intended to ban hand-armed Christianity from society by eliminating the believers.
Pope John Paul II on 11 March 2001 raised to the honors of the altars far 233 victims of the persecution, including the Blessed Germán Gozalvo Andreu.
