Opus Dei

My father, who is quite elderly, fell sick of malaria and pneumonia just a week before I needed to travel to Madrid to witness the Beatification ceremony of don Alvaro

In Moscow's Cathedral, Bishop Javier Echevarría and the Archbishop of Moscow, Paul Pezzi, celebrated a Thanksgiving Mass for the beatification of Alvaro del Portillo.

On Saturday November 8, Bishop Javier Echevarría will ordain 32 new deacons, in St. Eugene's Basilica in Rome.

This month's letter focuses on the solemnity of Christ the King, and Christ's triumph in souls when they are docile to the action of the Holy Spirit.

After the excitement of the Beatification we were at the airport coming back to our country.

The word 'saint' is remote, as remote as the afterlife and I don't always associate it with the here and now. I was to put up an exhibition, here-and-now about a saint, about Bishop Álvaro who was pronounced blessed on 27th September 2014.

Dr. Susan Kibue is the Dean, Faculty of Architecture at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT). She speaks about her call to Opus Dei and the sanctification of work.

Sophie, a Cooperator of Opus Dei in France, talks about confronting her husband's devastating accident a few months after their marriage, with the light and strength she found in Saint Josemaria's writings.

Saints are men and women of flesh and bones!
