Opus Dei

Several people were at the Enugu airport waiting to receive the Prelate of Opus Dei with so much excitement 24 July 2018. These include families with their children, some of them bearing bouquets of flowers. It was to be an intense one-day visit because he was due to return to Lagos that same day.

On Monday 23 July 2018 the Prelate spent most of the day at the outskirts of Lagos. In the morning he visited and dedicated the Grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the Pan-Atlantic University. At 11:00 a.m., he had a meeting and get-together with the promoters of that educational initiative as well as some members of the administration of the university.

Sunday, 22nd July 2018 was packed with activities for the Prelate of Opus Dei, to fulfil his desire of spending time with each one of us. He preached a meditation in Whitesands School for hundreds of men during which he stressed that we should have the certainty that we do not lack anything, because we have Christ. We have Christ, and with him, the world is ours. The promoters and staff of the school had a special meeting with him, in which they were able to greet him personally.

The Lagoon Secondary School was in a festive mood and all in splendid attires to welcome the Prelate, who was to preach, celebrate Mass, meet small groups of people, as well as have a general get-together with women of Opus Dei, cooperators and friends who participate in the means of formation on the 21st July 2018. The transition from one activity to the other afforded many a good opportunity to greet the Father even if only briefly.
