Opus Dei

Bishop Javier Echevarría invites us to prepare for Christmas by serving those in our own family with diligence and love, looking at the example of the Holy Family.

Dora del Hoyo Alonso, whose cause of canonization opened on June 18, 2012, dedicated her life to the work of the home. According to Dora, it was through her own family that she first learned to love caring for the home and to value working hard and well. Her example helped many to value ordinary work as a means of growing closer to God.

On Wednesday December 17, his 78th birthday, Pope Francis began a series of general audiences on the topic of the family.

I lost my passport with my Canadian and US Visa at the Toronto Airport. After praying to Dora, I called that night the lost and found department at the airport...

I couldn't get through on a helpline one day, so after several attempts I prayed to Dora to help me. After the ninth prayer card I phoned again and immediately got through.

I am writing to report two favors which I received in the last year through the intercession of Dora. Thanks to her, I was able to find and keep the job that I love.

Strength of spirit, or fortitude, helps us cope with difficulties and overcome our limitations. For Christians, Christ is our example of how to practise fortitude, the virtue that opens the way to many others.
