With Holy Week only a few days away and amid so much suffering, Monsignor Fernado Ocáriz invites us to look at Christ on the Cross, who is the source of our hope.

On the feast of Saint Joseph, the Prelate of Opus Dei advises us to foster "the certainty of the impossible" that we see in the Holy Patriarch: "a man with a permanent smile who shrugged his shoulders."

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz offers some practical guidelines for confronting this extraordinary situation. "The Communion of Saints leads us to make our own what affects the others, because 'if one member suffers, all suffer with him.'"

In preparation for the upcoming solemnity of Saint Joseph, Monsignor Ocáriz suggests that we have recourse to his intercession as “God’s faithful servant in continual contact with Jesus.”
