Opus Dei

Isidoro Zorzano was born on 13 September 1902, and was declared venerable ten years ago. He was an engineer, a friend of St. Josemaría, and one of the first members of Opus Dei. In the midst of the Spanish Civil War, though he could have found safety, he stayed in Madrid so as not to leave his own people alone. His story is a reminder that difficulties, lived with God, do not break a family apart: they help it grow.

Msgr. Mariano Fazio explores St. Josemaría's vision for business schools: institutions called to unite professional excellence, the Church's social doctrine, and the sanctification of work, with the human person at the centre and a deep spirit of service.

A recollection is time spent in silence with God, talking to Him and “recollecting” who we are before Him. This is a package of resources for a recollection in your own home.

It looks like you’re the one teaching. But ask any catechist, and they’ll tell you: you always end up learning the most.
