Blessed Álvaro del Portillo y Diez de Sollano was a Spanish engineer and Roman Catholic bishop. He served as the prelate of Opus Dei between 1982 and 1994 as the successor to Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Luminaries such as Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Carlo Caffarra have praised Portillo as a faithful servant of God. John Paul II referred to him as a good and faithful servant while Caffarra dubbed him a disciple of Christ. His cause of sainthood commenced on 21 January 2004 after being titled as a Servant of God.
