Pope Francis: We want to  respond to the virus pandemic with a pandemic of prayer, compassion and tenderness
"It is a time to get our lives back on track with regard to you, Lord, and to others," Pope Francis said in his address prior to presiding over the Eucharistic Adoration and then imparting an extraordinary 'Urbi et Orbi' blessing from Saint Peter's Square.

On May 18, 2019, the first layperson of Opus Dei was  beatified in Madrid--
Guadalupe Ortiz Landazuri

Blessed Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri
PRAYER
O God, grant me through the intercession of Blessed Guadalupe that, like her, I may learn to carry out my ordinary work with love, and spread faith and joy to everyone around me, so that many more may come to know you and love you. Deign to grant the canonization of Guadalupe and, through her intercession, grant me the favor I ask of you... (here make your petition). Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.

The Prelate of Opus Dei, Monsignor Fernando Ocariz, visited the USA in July 2019!
