This article introduces the figure of Blessed Titus Brandsma (Carmelite, journalist and professor at the University of Nijmegen where he was also Rector and a very significant person during the period between the wars in the Netherlands) from the perspective of ecumenism. Professor Brandsma was a pioneer in this field. He was a very active collaborator in the so-called «Apostolate of Reunification» with the Eastern Churches. He also maintained a strong ecumenical sensitivity towards Protestant denominations, even in the dramatic circumstances in the various concentration camps Brandsma found himself in before he was executed in July 1942. The author starts with the premise that ecumenism in Titus Brandsma was the fruit of his spiritual and personal approach to life (a man of dialogue, reconciliation, a facilitator of areas of encounter in diversity…) that brought him to a very committed theoretical and practical ecumenism in Europe in the 1930s. ; Este artículo presenta la figura del beato Tito Brandsma (carmelita, periodista, profesor de la Universidad de Nimega de la que llegó a ser Rector y una figura destacada de la Iglesia holandesa en el periodo de entreguerras), desde el punto de vista del ecumenismo. El profesor Brandsma fue un pionero en este ámbito. Colaboró activamente con el llamado «Apostolado de la reunificación » con las iglesias orientales y mantuvo siempre una exquisita sensibilidad ecuménica con los protestantes, incluso en las dramáticas circunstancias de los diversos campos de concentración por los que pasó antes de ser ejecutado en julio de 1942. El autor parte de una premisa: el ecumenismo del beato Tito nace de un talante personal y espiritual (dialogante, reconciliador, propiciador de ámbitos de encuentro en la diversidad, etc.) que le llevó a un ecumenismo teórico y práctico en las dramáticas condiciones de la Europa de los años 30.
