Opus Dei

Here is a favor that I attribute to the intercession of Dora del Hoyo. My daughter was very unwell one day. She lives far away from me, and she needed her husband to come home early, if possible, or on time from work, but he had an important task he had to complete.

In his August 19 general audience, Pope Francis spoke about the dignity of work for men and women, created in the image of God.

​For two days we didn’t have any hot water at home because the hot water heater was damaged, and at that time we weren’t able to buy another one. We entrusted the problem to Dora.

For their 50th anniversary, the Midtown and Metro programs in Chicago have produced 5 short video testimonies from men and women whose lives have been changed by the help they received there.

I thought I had ruined a delicate, expensive, and important fabric. I prayed to Dora while trying everything I could to repair the damage - and voila! It's as good as new!

A few months ago I heard about all the favors that Dora del Hoyo has been doing for people. I looked into who she was and read about her life. I subscribed to the official website for her cause for canonization and was sent more information.
