Mark first encountered Opus Dei in the 1990s but hesitated to say yes to God for decades, convinced he wasn’t ready. A retreat finally helped him realise that God does not call the perfect but helps the called to grow in holiness. Today, as a husband, father, and portfolio manager, he finds joy in prayer, strength in his work, and more presence with his family and those around him.

A retreat is a days-long break to spend time with God in silence and prayer. It's a privileged opportunity to grow in love for God, to come to know ourselves better, and to know Him more deeply. It is a time to renew our faith, welcome the Holy Spirit's light, and calmly and thoughtfully explore the areas in which we can move forward in our Christian life.

Father Joseph was one of the first three priests of Opus Dei and led its early apostolic efforts in the United States. His cause of canonization is open in the Archdiocese of Boston.

In his 17 September general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about Holy Saturday.

Faith and hope become her pillars, transforming pain into a path of trusting surrender to God. From the darkest ashes, a new life can be born, sustained by grace and love, fraternity and the certainty of her divine filiation.

This Sunday, we celebrate Pope Leo XIV's birthday, a chance to get to know him better and pray for him more. Here are some highlights from his first four months as Roman Pontiff and the trailer for “Leo from Chicago,” an upcoming Vatican Media documentary about his early life.
