Sofía shares how, despite an ongoing inner struggle, she found understanding and support in the people around her. She emphasizes that she never felt pressured, but rather experienced the freedom to make her own decisions, and she is especially grateful for the openness and guidance of those who lived alongside her. Stepping back at a certain point allowed her to see her life and her relationship with God more clearly.

I think Opus Dei makes it easier for you to make free decisions.

Sofía has continued her faith journey with determination, and she sees the formation she received in the Work as a cornerstone of her spiritual life. She says it gave her relationship with God depth and stability beyond mere feelings and helped her understand the meaning of her dedication and service to others.

I thank God for that period of formation, because it helps me understand why I do things, and why I love Him.

Now newly married, Sofía looks back with joy at how God has guided her story. As Opus Dei approaches its centenary, she expresses profound gratitude for all she has received: formation, guidance, and the freedom to seek her relationship with God with sincerity.
