St. Josemaria Escriva (1902-1975), the founder of Opus Dei, opened a new path of holiness in the Catholic Church, teaching that people can become holy by performing their work and daily duties with a Christian spirit.
I will give you shepherds after my own heart, and they shall feed you on knowledge and sound teaching.
Dabo vobis pastores iuxta cor meum, et pascent vos scientia et doctrina.
God our Father
you chose Saint Josemaria
to proclaim the universal call to sanctity
and apostolate in the Church.
By his example and prayers,
grant that in faithfully carrying out
our daily work in the Spirit of Christ,
we may be formed in the likeness of your Son,
and together with the most Blessed Virgin Mary,
serve the work of redemption with an ardent love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
The above is from the Daily Roman Missal for June 26.
And I want to send greetings to all religious and laity who serve in Opus Dei.
Especially one priest whose sermon I once admired!
