Some words from the Prelate of Opus Dei for Christmas 2020. "May we, with our self-giving, try to imitate our Lord, to identify ourselves with Him."

"The Child Jesus calls us to live with a free heart, a heart detached from the goods of this world and able to discern what is truly important."

Faith helps us to discover the good present in every situation, also when they are painful. As Monsignor Ocáriz reminds us, with words of Saint Paul, "in everything God works for good with those who love him.”

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz took part in the second edition of “Harambee Covid-19 Conversations,” a series of discussions among health care professionals from Africa, Europe and Latin America.
