2 November: Praying for the Faithful Departed
Resources for prayer on 2 November, All Souls Day, when the Church prays especially for the faithful departed.
Making the Centre a Home (I)
Open, bright, cheerful homes: this is what God wants. This is the first instalment of reflections on family life within the centres of Opus Dei.
Apostles Who Give Life
The vocation to Opus Dei as a numerary: enlarging the heart to transmit God's life to the members of the Work and to those who share a stretch of the journey towards heaven with them.
Special Dates
Meditations for solemnities, feasts, and memorials, as well as special periods like the novena to the Immaculate Conception, the week of prayer for Christian unity, and the Sundays of St. Joseph.
Life of Mary (II): Birth of Mary
When Mary was born, although no one living at the time was aware of what was happening, the angels in Heaven rejoiced. The Church celebrates the Nativity of our Lady on 8 September.
Coronation and Queenship: Magisterium, Saints, Poets
We celebrate the feast of the Queenship of Mary on August 22. These texts from the Magisterium, saints, and Christian poets can help us contemplate the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of the universe.
Living by Faith
The faith our Lord expects of us "is not the confidence that things will always go well. It is the trust that, no matter how things are going, God will make use of them for my benefit, for the benefit of those around me and of the whole Church."
