Pope Leo XIV has repeatedly called for unity within the Church, which, as he said in the homily at the Holy Mass marking the beginning of his pontificate, should become “a leaven for a reconciled world.” In the coming weeks, we can all strive to heed this call by living unity more deeply within Opus Dei.
In particular, we can often bring to our prayer and fraternal chat how we live unity in family life, at work, in our social engagements, etc. Making renewed efforts —guided by the inspirations and suggestions we receive— is a concrete and hope-filled way to prepare for the coming of the Baby Jesus at Christmas. We wish to offer Him, and those with whom we live and work, the gift of a generous heart, free from division and overflowing with joyful acts of charity.
