Opus Dei

From 30 July to 8 August, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz visited Arequipa, Piura, and Lima. At the same time of year, 50 years ago, St. Josemaría traveled to Peru to be with members and friends of Opus Dei there in 1974.

“In the morning, long before dawn, Jesus got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there.” Imagine, if you can, living with Jesus like the early disciples in a fishing village called Capernuam.
