Opus Dei

On September 7, before 100,000 people in St. Peter's Square in Rome, Pope Francis strongly denounced all forms of violence during a vigil for peace.

On August 31, in Cologne, the Prelate of Opus Dei met with 1,200 people from Germany, Belgium and Holland. During the get-together, an 8 year old boy asked a surprising question. With photo gallery.

"I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church on 7 September next, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world," Pope Francis said last Sunday.

The feast of the Birth of our Lady, on the 8th, and the feasts of the Exaltation of the Cross and of our Lady at the foot of the Cross on the 14th and 15th, provide the thread for this month's letter.

Bishop Dermott Molloy, who spent many years in Peru confronting material poverty and terrorism, died on August 19. In this article, Fr. Doroteo Borda thanks the bishop for his own priestly vocation.

In 1985 Toni Zweifel, in perfect health, jotted down a somewhat surprising thought: “The bad thing is not so much the fact that one has cancer, but that one’s relationship with God isn’t strong enough to turn the sickness into something positive."

Toni first came in contact with Opus Dei in 1961, when "faith didn’t seem to have any real place in his self-sufficient and successful life. Toni had become a non-practicing Catholic with a baptismal certificate."
