Bishop Javier Echevarría has conferred diaconal ordination on six faithful of Opus Dei, telling them: "Set forth the great truths of our faith in a positive way, especially those that refer to the eternal salvation of souls”

Some of the many favors that have been received by those who have gone to the intercession of Fr. Jose Maria Hernandez Garnica

Minette is from Canada. "One day at an Opus Dei Centre in Vancouver, I found a prayer card (similar to St. Josemaria's prayer card that I am familiar with), but with a different picture - a picture of a lady named 'Dora'. I read it, and certain phrases struck me... 'work at the same tasks as the Blessed Virgin Mary in Nazareth' and 'spread all around me the family warmth... cheerful, selfless work...'."

I met Dora in 1995, when domestic work was far from my life and even farther from my mind. Dora and I happened to coincide on two occasions in particular in a period of about two months time. This however was enough for me to realize how she was, how she lived, for whom and why she had spent her days giving of herself to the full. There was no need for long explanations to grasp the meaning of her existence. Dora knew the meaning of her life and the path to achieve it to the full.

How does Opus Dei help its faithful and those who take part in its activities grow in their Christian life?

The Prelate of Opus Dei, Bishop Javier Echevarría, will confer diaconal ordination on six faithful of the Prelature from three countries. The ceremony will take place in the parish of Saint Josemaría in Rome, on Saturday the 27th at 4 pm Rome time.
