Opus Dei

On Saturday afternoon, the Prelate of Opus Dei had an encounter to celebrate the beatification of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri. The stadium transformed into a living room, as participants celebrated the morning's events with magic tricks, mariachi, and more.

Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri (1916-1975), the Spanish chemist who brought the message of Opus Dei to Mexico, has been beatified in Madrid. In a letter, Pope Francis wrote that she was an example of holiness in "normality”

Groups from all over the world can be seen on the streets of Madrid, visiting places connected with Guadalupe's life, praying before her mortal remains at the Royal Oratory of the Knight of Grace, or visiting an exhibition about her at the Tajamar School.
