This website will broadcast the solemn Mass celebrated by Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz in the Prelatic Church of Our Lady of Peace for the Feast of Saint Josemaria on June 26th at 7:00 pm (GMT+2). The Prelate will offer the Mass for those who have died during the pandemic.

"Wanting Jesus Alone to Shine" is a biography of the founder of Opus Dei illustrated with over 300 photos, maps, infographics and autograph texts. Its authors, Jesús Gil y Enrique Muñiz, say they hope the book "will enable readers to enter more fully into the life of Saint Josemaria."

In the last years of his life, the founder of Opus Dei met with large groups of people throughout Spain and Latin America. Many of those encounters were filmed and now, fifty years later, they have been remastered and can be viewed with a much higher visual and audio quality.

May 13th is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
