Opus Dei

The Archbishop of Pamplona has formally closed the diocesan phase of Laura Busca's process of canonization, uniting it with the canonization cause of her husband, Eduardo Ortiz de Landázuri.

I teach baking and confectionary classes at an institute, and I pray to Dora for favors daily, asking for little things, especially because she knows this field well and she always helps me. One time in particular in which I noted her intercession happened when I was teaching a class about ice cream.

Here is a favor that I attribute to the intercession of Dora del Hoyo. My daughter was very unwell one day. She lives far away from me, and she needed her husband to come home early, if possible, or on time from work, but he had an important task he had to complete.

​For two days we didn’t have any hot water at home because the hot water heater was damaged, and at that time we weren’t able to buy another one. We entrusted the problem to Dora.

I thought I had ruined a delicate, expensive, and important fabric. I prayed to Dora while trying everything I could to repair the damage - and voila! It's as good as new!

A few months ago I heard about all the favors that Dora del Hoyo has been doing for people. I looked into who she was and read about her life. I subscribed to the official website for her cause for canonization and was sent more information.

I've encouraged my friends to ask Dora's help and taught them how to use the prayer card and also where to write the favour once Dora granted it. Two of these friends found their cell phones, another was able to salvage her laptop after spilling tea on it, and another was able to remove a nasty stain from a silk fabric...

Seeking the intercession of men and women who have died with a reputation for holiness is a common practice in the Catholic Church. Examples of favors received through the intercession of Montse follow.
