Friends of the Rosary,
The Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of St. Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975), founder of Opus Dei, which opened a new path of holiness based on carrying out ordinary work and daily duties with a Christian spirit.
He died on June 26, 1975, and ten years later, on October 6, 2002, John Paul II canonized Josemaría in St. Peter’s Square before a multitude of 300,000 people from 80 countries. The Holy Father said that “St. Josemaría was chosen by the Lord to proclaim the universal call to holiness and to indicate that everyday life, its customary activities, are a path towards holiness. It could be said that he was the saint of the ordinary.”
“With supernatural intuition,” said the Pope in his homily, “Blessed Josemaría untiringly preached the universal call to holiness and apostolate.”
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
