Opus Dei

Highlights from the Prelate of Opus Dei's five-day visit to Madrid, with some words from one of his get-togethers that can serve as a summary of his entire visit.

During yesterday's general audience, Pope Francis explained the meaning of martyrdom. He said that Christians who decide to live their faith coherently should take into account Jesus' words: there will be persecutions.

In his June 21 general audience, Pope Francis spoke about the important role of the saints in the Church, and the need for "saints in everyday life."

For more than 10 years now, members of Opus Dei have been making regular trips to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to give means of formation to interested university students and professionals, young and old, men and women. On Saturday 10th June 2017, a public Mass in honour of St. Josemaria was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Gerald Wabukenda at St. Peter's Oyster Bay Church.

A new app with four novenas, for the family, for work, for the sick, and for forgiveness, is designed to make it easier to ask Saint Josemaria’s help for specific needs.
