Opus Dei

Some photos of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landazuri.

My granddaughter, Caroline, was born with birthmark on her face that covered her forehead, nose and upper lip.

Ever since meeting Saint Josemaria in 1944, Guadalupe Ortiz decided to dedicate her life to a single project: seeking sanctity in the middle of the world. A Doctor in Chemistry, she discovered the adventure of the Christian life, and helped many others to do the same, through her work, and with faith and optimism.

When it became impossible to do surgery, the doctors opted to leave it to nature, having a 50 percent chance that the hemorrhage would absorb naturally.

A new article in the series on forging a strong Christian personality. “No human life is ever isolated. It is bound up with other lives. No man or woman is a single verse; we all make up one divine poem which God writes with the cooperation of our freedom.”

John Watson and Phillip Elias, both of Sydney, were ordained as priests in Rome on April 29.

Cardinal Bertello invited the new priests to be "priests-priests, priests one hundred percent, as your holy Founder Saint Josemaria used to say."

Dante (Philippines), Joe (U.S.), Anibal (Colombia), Giovanni (Italy), Alex (Spain) and Ricardo (Peru) are among the 31 deacons who will be ordained priests on Saturday April 29.

On Saturday April 29, this website will offer a live broadcast of the ordination of 31 priests in the basilica of Saint Eugene in Rome, at 4 pm Rome time (10 am New York time). Live commentary will be provided in English.

On April 28-29, Pope Francis made a brief visit to Egypt to show support for Christians there and try to build bridges with moderate Islam. With link to addresses and speeches.
