Opus Dei

“In the morning, long before dawn, Jesus got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there.” Imagine, if you can, living with Jesus like the early disciples in a fishing village called Capernuam.

Neither is it “saying goodbye to life.” Rather, it is the Sacrament of healing for the spirit, a sacrament of hope.
