Monsignor Ocáriz encourages us to spend this Marian month continually giving thanks to God "for everything, because everything is good," as Saint Josemaria said.

"I want to thank God and Guadalupe for showing me that miracles not only happen to other people, but can also happen to me."

A constant throughout Guadalupe's life was her passion for chemistry and scientific research. At the time she began her chemistry studies in 1933, there were very few women in universities, and almost none in the sciences. Starting in 1944, although her commitment to Opus Dei would lead her to dedicate a lot of her time and talents to imparting Christian formation, she never stopped researching chemistry and studying with scientific curiosity.
