Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei, encourages the members of the Work to support Pope Francis's desire to pray for peace and to participate in the day of prayer, abstinence, and fasting proposed by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa.

The 75th issue of "Romana," bulletin of the Prelature of Opus Dei, from the second semester of 2022, has been published.

Video and stories from Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz's time in Portugal. He met with families, got to know educational initiatives, listened to stories from the recent World Youth Day, and spent time with the people of Opus Dei in the country.

In his 11 October general audience, Pope Francis continued his catechetical cycle on apostolic zeal, speaking about Saint Josephine Bakhita.

I was very young when I arrived in Kenya. I was grateful that from the beginning, I did not feel alone. Immediately I realized that I was another link in a chain and would be picking the baton from many brave women who worked from the first moment to bring the message of Opus Dei to Africa.

Let us open our hearts and “pray for the Church, that she may adopt listening and dialogue as a style of life at every level.”

Pope Francis asks us to pray especially for the Synod on Synodality this month. The Synod of Bishops will be held in Rome from 4-29 October.
