Opus Dei

The liturgical feast days in June form the thread of the Prelate's monthly letter, in which he urges us to draw closer to God in our ordinary life.

Bishop Javier Echevarría asks us during these weeks to "contemplate our Lady, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, taken up in body and soul to heaven...in the joy and the glory of the Resurrection."

"Our Lord is calling us to accompany him in his triumph, which we always reach through self-denial. Christ’s death on Calvary was not the final word," the Prelate reminds us in his letter this month.

"Let us continue being closely united to the Pope and his intentions, for in this way we will be closely united to Christ," Bishop Echevarría urges us in his letter this month.

Uniting our setbacks and sufferings to Christ's self-giving on the Cross is always fruitful, the Prelate reminds us in his letter this month.

As the new year begins, the Prelate invites us to consider the wonder of our divine filiation, especially as it is described in St. Paul's letters.

Our Lord’s imminent arrival at Christmas is an opportunity to redouble our effort "to unite the divine and the human in our daily life," the Prelate tells us in his letter this month.

Bishop Echevarría’s letter this month is focused on specific ways we can love and serve the Church.

In his October letter, the Prelate stresses the importance of humility. Only by relying on God’s help can we yield fruit that will last.

"How do we accept whatever goes against our own wishes: sickness, professional failures, unjust offenses, difficulties in our social or family life?", the Prelate asks in his September letter. And he finds the answer in Christ’s Cross.
