“If at any time you feel uneasy at the thought of our sister death because you see yourself to be such a poor creature, take heart. Heaven awaits us and consider: what will it be like when all the infinite beauty and greatness, and happiness and Love of God will be poured into the poor clay vessel that the human being is, to satisfy it eternally with the freshness of an ever new joy?”

St. Josemaria Escrivà
Furrow, 891

The Archangels: The Devotion of St. Josemaria Escriva

St. Josemaria Escriva’s devotion the Archangels is well-known in Opus Dei as he entrusted the apostolates of its members to their protection. However, his devotion is also an example for all the faithful who seek the intercession of the Archangels in their daily struggles, vocations, and work.

PRAYER

HI O God, merciful Father, you granted your bishop Blessed Álvaro, the grace of being, with our Lady's help, an exemplary pastor in the service of the Church and a most faithful son and successor of Saint Josemaría, the Founder of Opus Dei. Grant that I also may respond faithfully to the demands of the Christian vocation, turning all the circumstances and events of my life into opportunities to love you and to serve the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Deign to grant the canonization of Blessed Álvaro, and through his intercession grant me the favour I request… (here make your petition). Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.

Do what the Father wants
Fr. Roy Cimagala

TALK is cheap. Obedience is priceless.

That is the sharp edge of Christ's parable in Matthew 21:28-32. A father asks two sons to work in the vineyard. The first bluntly refuses but later changes his mind and goes. The second politely agrees but never shows up. The verdict is obvious. The first son, despite his rough beginning, did the father's will.

The story is not really about two brothers. It is about two kinds of believers. One resists God at first but eventually surrenders. The other speaks the language of faith, projects the image of holiness, yet quietly refuses to obey when sacrifice is demanded. Words can impress people. Actions convince God…(Full article in link below)

Transforming curiosity into faith
Fr. Roy Cimagala

LUNCHTIME often gives us a welcome pause from the demands of the day. Between meetings, classes, or errands, it offers a few quiet moments to nourish not only the body but also the soul. The Gospel of Thursday of the 24th Week in Ordinary Time (Luke 9:7–9) invites us to ponder a question that remains the most important one we will ever face: Who is Jesus to us?

Herod was confused. Reports about Jesus had reached his ears. Some said Jesus was John the Baptist raised from the dead. Others claimed He was Elijah or one of the ancient prophets returned. Herod was intrigued and wanted to see Him, yet his curiosity never matured into genuine faith.

This distinction is worth reflecting on. Curiosity may bring us closer to Jesus, but only faith transforms our lives…(Full article in link below)
