Opus Dei

On July 29, Wlodzimierz Redzioch interviewed Opus Dei's Prelate, Bishop Javier Echevarría for a Polish weekly newspaper. They discussed Opus Dei's structure and spirit, its "mild" response to The Da Vinci Code, and plans for its upcoming 80th anniversary.

During the Mass celebrated in Rome on the feastday of St. Josemaría (June 26), the Prelate mentioned that on that very day the stable work of Opus Dei in Russia had begun. These paragraphs from Bishop Echevarría's homily speak about these new beginnings.
