Opus Dei

During the first days of this month of November 2020 We had a day spiritual retreat in Bugala, the centre of Opus Dei for men in Kampala. A small group of university students came to have some days of reflection and prayer at the end of this complex year.

This is the fifth of the Series of videos presented by Prof. Regina Eya in which she explains how the message of St. Josemaría of seeking holiness in ordinary life, can be lived in fulfilling the need to rest.

​When our Lord showed himself to the Eleven after his resurrection he said to them, “Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.” (Mark 16:6). This message is addressed to each one of us, the baptized, to go out and do apostolate in any surroundings we happen to be in with our families, our workplace, in our social relationships etc.

"God wants us to enjoy our mission as an apostle, to savor it, to savor Christ’s love for souls."

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer in which we can look at our lives in the presence of God. As we continue to face a global pandemic, this guide for a "recollection-at-home" will help you spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God, right where you are.

A meditation (guided prayer) on the Christian meaning of death, in the month the Church dedicates to praying for the souls in purgatory.

A few months ago my friend Mutheu and I were having a discussion about how much we were missing the good old days when we could go to Mass and confession with ease. With the Covid-19 pandemic, things had changed drastically and neither of us had ever imagined that a time would come when the very places we sought solace and spiritual strength from would now be listed as out of bounds for gatherings until further notice.

During the 1970s, Salvatore, who had recently met Saint Josemaría, lived through an adventure worthy of a spy novel.

Pope Francis continued his catechesis on prayer in his 11 November general audience. "Let us not forget that the Holy Spirit prays in us; it is He who leads us to pray, who leads us to Jesus."

The day of recollection is a time for prayer and reflection on some topics of our spiritual life.
