June 26th: ​Feast of
​St. Josemaria Escriva

"Each day be conscious of your duty to be a saint. A saint! And that doesn't mean doing strange things. It means a daily struggle in the interior life and in heroically fulfilling your duty right through to the end."
​If your parish is not celebrating the memorial of St. Josemaria take advantage of some virtual opportunities to participate: 
The Prelate of Opus Dei will be offering a LIVE Streamed Mass in the Prelatic Church of Our Lady of Peace in Rome at 7:00 p.m. CST for all those who have died from the pandemic. Details can be found at: www.opusdei.org
At St. Mary of the Angels in Chicago
Very Rev. Javier del Castillo as main celebrate and homilist will celebrate Mass at 7:30 p.m. CST. 
St. Mary of the Angels LIVE Stream Channel
Unfortunately, the current restrictions have caused us to cancel the annual Feast Day Mass for St. Josemaria in St. Louis.

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!
