Opus Dei

Anniversaries are always a great cause and opportunity for celebration. Anniversaries are also a great chance and indeed opportunity for a candid examination of conscience.

Jeremy White is a faithful of Opus Dei who died in Nigeria in 1990 with a reputation for holiness. He was born in Aldershot, England on May 18, 1938. He did a bachelor’s degree in History and Modern languages in Cambridge University. He converted from Anglicanism in 1959. In the same year, he moved to Nairobi, Kenya, to help with the start of Strathmore College. While in Nairobi he asked for admission to Opus Dei. In 1965 he moved to Nigeria to help in the start of Opus Dei activities in that country.

One day in 2010 my mother called me, very excited. “Lulú, now I know who we have to pray to for a boyfriend for you: Tomás Alvira and Paquita Dominguez!”

Africa's greatest wealth is its young people, who need to have access to education and work possibilities, Pope Francis says in his prayer intention for this month.

Tackling poverty through education: Teresa's story.

No family is perfect. Love is demanding, although there is no greater happiness. There are many ways to approach the ideal of a Christian family (see "The Joy of Love" 32-57).
