In Marseille: "Faith gives us the strength we need"

On August 26th, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz arrived in Marseille, France, for a two day pastoral visit.

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz arrived in Marseille on August 26, after a five day pastoral visit to Milan. Over the next two days he had the opportunity to meet with faithful of the Prelature, cooperators and a number of other people who take part in the activities of Christian formation organized by faithful of Opus Dei.

“We all have a very effective way to bring Christ to souls: our personal friendship,” the Prelate said in one of the get-togethers. Monsignor Ocáriz encouraged them to pass on to others the joy of their own encounter with Jesus, and “to do so with the impetus that faith gives,” with the certainty that “nothing we do is ever lost,” recalling some words of Saint Josemaria.
