We share the self-narrated story of Collins a young lawyer, fresh out of Law School who, despite his inexperience and lack of means, could not hold himself back from helping people in need. The sight of someone in handcuffs, the cry of a mother whose only son was about to be jailed for a petty reason, innocent people who only needed a lawyer to speak for them… these were some of the sights that elicited empathy from Collins, and he decided to help, often without invitation.

Bisi recounts her initial encounter with Opus Dei at the old Wavecrest Secretariat College in Lagos, Nigeria. Bisi was glad to have met Opus Dei through her relatives who lived close by the Centre. Usually, on entering the serene and cheerful environment of the centres of Opus Dei, some people exclaim, "Wow! You mean this kind of place exists here?" This initial excitement was lost to twelve-year-old Bisi. However, years later, she narrates the soothing feeling she experienced at her visit to the Centre.

Bisi said, "In my house there was a picture of the Sacred Heart, I went in front of the picture and wept throughout the night, and the next day, I went ahead to join Opus Dei." The gentle whisper of God's call rang clearly in Bisi's heart. She heard it and did not feel capable of answering. And then, just as Eli helped Samuel to recognize God's voice, Bisi was assisted in freedom to listen and follow the Lord's call.
