Opus Dei

Fr Willie Doyle, a heroic Irish Jesuit military chaplain, died in battle 100 years ago. The story of how St Josemaria came to know about his life and include his example of self-denial in “The Way.”

Our Lady of Peace, Prelatic Church of Opus Dei, is a place of prayer, housing the mortal remains of Saint Josemaría Escrivá and Blessed Álvaro del Portillo.

"Children. The Sick. — As you write these words, don't you feel tempted to use capitals? The reason is that in children and in the sick a soul in love sees Him." The Novena for the Sick, with many quotes from St. Josemaria's writings, encourages accepting suffering with a Christian spirit, uniting it to Christ's passion and death, and asks God for a cure if such be his will.

In June 1974 Saint Josemaria had a get-together with a large number of people in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He reminded them that we are all called to holiness.
