Opus Dei

My name is Juana Lidia Quispe Maita. I am from the community of Copachilaia. From my community, you can see Lake Titicaca, which is 4000 metres above sea level, and I am an assistant numerary of Opus Dei. I am here for a while looking after my mother, who is alone. I accompany her, take care of her, and help her with whatever she needs. And from time to time I go to the city.

In 2024, the Regional Assemblies of Opus Dei were held, bringing together several thousand people in nearly 70 countries over the course of a year to reflect on the theme "On the Road to the Centenary of the Work." The contributions gathered will help prepare for the Ordinary General Congress of 2025, scheduled for April and May.

A long-standing tradition in the Church is to prepare for the feast of Saint Joseph by dedicating the seven Sundays before 19 March to Saint Joseph, in memory of his seven sorrows and joys.

The Prelate of Opus Dei encourages us to continue praying for a number of intentions, including peace in the world and Christian unity.
