Opus Dei

With the feast of Pentecost drawing near, the Prelate of Opus Dei encourages us to reflect on the action of the Holy Spirit in our souls. And to continue praying for the work on the Statutes.

Saint Josemaría is the first pilgrim to Fatima raised to the altars. The story of Fatima as it impacted his life, and also the life of Saint John Paul II.

In April 1934, Saint Josemaría composed a prayer to the Holy Spirit that he prayed frequently and encouraged others to pray.

The 12th of this month, the second Sunday of May, we'll be celebrating mothers on that annual celebration of Mothers' Day. Let’s look at the way Jesus praised his mother.

Josemaría was a young person like any of us. He had a family and friends, dreams and doubts, fears and aspirations. When he took his faith more and more seriously, God showed him how he could improve the world and help others by being himself, with all his virtues and all his weaknesses.

Many years ago, I heard someone pray this prayer: “O Jesus, remove the unclean scab of sensual corruption that covers my heart, so that I can feel and readily follow the breath of the Paraclete in my soul.” These words can help us understand how God wants us to celebrate the feast of Pentecost that this year falls on Sunday 19th May.

In his 8 May general audience, Pope Francis continued his catechetical cycle on vices and virtues, speaking about hope.

In 2024, the following spiritual retreats will take place in Nigeria at different venues. They start on the evening of the first day and end on the morning of the last day.

Let us together pray “that men and women religious, and seminarians, grow in their own vocational journey through human, pastoral, spiritual and community formation.

For a Christian, Heaven is always just around the corner: life is at once a journey and a destination.
