3. St Josemaria Escriva's birthday anniversary
On the anniversary of the birth of St Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, Fr Paul O'Callaghan shares some reflections on why we can be grateful for the faithfulness, dedication and love....for being such a good father to us in sharing the spirit of the Work with us.
St Josemaria is affectionately known by faithful of Opus Dei as "our Father" , and with good reason. This year we will mark the 50th anniversary of his death in 1975; his message and life has so much to offer us today, as it did during his life.
