Ten Years of Volunteering in Puente Vallecas under Blessed Álvaro's Patronage
This social initiative, born around the beatification of Álvaro del Portillo, has involved the help of 3,500 volunteers and served 22,500 meals. But what really matter are the people behind the numbers. Each of them has a story of suffering and hardship.
While I was folding the laundry
A friend gave me a prayer card of Don Alvaro to pray for my wife. It was as if it had fallen from heaven.
I got a raise and could continue my studies
My situation at work was not easy. On one occasion, I needed a raise; on another, I needed to change location in order to continue with my studies.
Customers at my pharmacy
I am a pharmacist and I own a pharmacy. I am going to tell you about two of the many favours that Don Alvaro has done for me.
A nine-month journey. A master's degree. A baby.
Blessed Alvaro del Portillo has brought us more than one joy, one after another. Thank you, Don Alvaro!
A mother's prayer and the intercession of Blessed Alvaro
Something so seemingly simple as transferring to another apartment in some places is not that easy.
Helping my children at home and with their studies
Online classes: an opportunity to grow in devotion to Don Alvaro
Between books, contracts and troubles
For many years, Blessed Alvaro was in charge of carrying out financial matters that Saint Josemaría entrusted to him. For this reason, people from all over the world turn to his intercession in similar situations. We publish some favours narrated in the first person.
A Tumour in the Pancreas
There are occasions in life where reversals in health impose themselves irremediably, but where the family and confidence in God make one see the other side of the problem.
From novena to novena
Thinking about several sick relatives and friends, I decided to begin a series of novenas asking for their health. The first novena was for the mother of a friend of mine.
