Opus Dei

On Sunday, Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz met with families and friends of Opus Dei at Intisana School in Quito. Among other memorable moments, Andrés, a commercial pilot, asked him how to sanctify work and family, and Ángela requested prayers for an initiative to support women in vulnerable situations. On Monday afternoon, the Prelate will travel on to the final stage of his trip in Colombia.

From 30 July to 8 August, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz visited Arequipa, Piura, and Lima. At the same time of year, 50 years ago, St. Josemaría traveled to Peru to be with members and friends of Opus Dei there in 1974.

“In the morning, long before dawn, Jesus got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there.” Imagine, if you can, living with Jesus like the early disciples in a fishing village called Capernuam. You wake up and walk with him. It’s a bit chilly. You reach the outskirts of the village and keep walking. It’s still dark, long before dawn. You walk far enough to be totally alone. Alone with God.

Aníbal was educated at Valle Grande, an Opus Dei initiative aimed at providing young people in Peru with the skills needed for social and professional integration. In this video, he shares his story and explains how this educational center has helped him succeed.

In July and August, Msgr.Fernando Ocáriz will travel to Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela to spend time with the faithful and friends of Opus Dei. The visit is taking place in the context of the 50th anniversary of Saint Josemaría's journey to several Latin American countries.

This month, let us pray for the pastoral care of the sick. Let us pray that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick grant the Lord’s strength to those who receive it and to their loved ones, and that it may become for everyone an ever more visible sign of compassion and hope.
