Some lives shine not because they are flawless, but because they refuse to give up. Such was the life of Pa Agapitus Mary Chike Okigbo, who passed on 2 August 2024 at the age of 95. His long journey was marked by providence, quiet perseverance, and a grace he deeply recognized as coming from God.

There she studied Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and developed a lot of hobbies, which, however, did not fulfil her completely: “So, I had all this time and had all this money and all these opportunities.

Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz, prelate of Opus Dei, is on a pastoral trip through Central America that began in Guatemala City from 4-9 August. He visited Honduras (San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa) from 10-12 August, and he will now continue to the final leg of the journey in El Salvador, ending on 15 August.
