Opus Dei

Cardinal Lazarus You Heung-sik, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Clergy, ordained 25 faithful of Opus Dei on 20 May in St. Eugene in Rome.

Bisi said, "In my house there was a picture of the Sacred Heart, I went in front of the picture and wept throughout the night, and the next day, I went ahead to join Opus Dei." The gentle whisper of God's call rang clearly in Bisi's heart. She heard it and did not feel capable of answering. And then, just as Eli helped Samuel to recognize God's voice, Bisi was assisted in freedom to listen and follow the Lord's call.

Bisi recounts her initial encounter with Opus Dei at the old Wavecrest Secretariat College in Lagos, Nigeria. Bisi was glad to have met Opus Dei through her relatives who lived close by the Centre. Usually, on entering the serene and cheerful environment of the centres of Opus Dei, some people exclaim, "Wow! You mean this kind of place exists here?" This initial excitement was lost to twelve-year-old Bisi. However, years later, she narrates the soothing feeling she experienced at her visit to the Centre.

After about thirty years of his first encounter, Fr. Idahosa still relishes the short sayings of "The Way". Recently he read the 999 points afresh, during 87 days, with an online group on WhatsApp called Cell Word Sharing. The group which has up to 673 members promotes the reading of spiritual books. Their final challenge was: What is your 1000th point from your overall study of the book?

On October 9, 2022, towards 8 pm, Bem Basil breathed his last. For all who knew him, it was not a sad day because of the Christian hope that both Bem and they had. Many spent that day in prayer and as news of his death spread, the sadness began to change to thanksgiving. This is how Bem would have wanted us all to react to his passing into eternity.
