Opus Dei

I wish to relate a favor granted by Isidoro. On Wednesday 4th at around 10.00 pm, a friend, Chinwe, calls me and says she is at the airport waiting for the driver I had sent to collect her.

This practice is a profound expression of faith and love for Christ in the Eucharist. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it offers us an opportunity to encounter God personally, to rest in his presence, and to find comfort and guidance for our daily lives in Him.

The Church has, over the centuries, held service to the poor as one of her core missions. Wherever and however, she finds them, the Church, through word and work, seeks to love the poor and assist them out of their material, intellectual or spiritual poverty. (CCC, nos. 2444 & 2448) And this is a fire she has sought to kindle in each of her children through space and time.

In this episode of “Fragments of History,” we explore the life of Aurora Nieto Funcia. She was a strong woman, a teacher and mother of three, widowed at the age of 28. In 1945, she discovered her vocation in Opus Dei as a path of dedication and encounter with God. She is considered the first supernumerary, and her story illuminates what it means to seek holiness in ordinary life.

In his 6 August general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about the preparation of the Last Supper.

At Caesarea, Peter did not understand that following Jesus entails self-giving and sacrifice. On Mount Tabor, however, he began to grasp that Christ’s glory passes through suffering and that the cross is not the end, but the passage to the resurrection.
