Meditación en el domingo XIV (C) del Tiempo Ordinario. Nos fijamos en una frase del profeta Isaías de la primera lectura: «como a un niño a quien su madre consuela, así os consolaré yo», dice el Señor. La conciencia de ser hijos de Dios es el fundamento de toda nuestra vida: nuestro arrepentimiento, el modo de recibir las alegrías o las contradicciones, nuestra lucha, nuestra oración, etc. Esta meditación fue predicada en una convivencia de supernumerarias del Opus Dei.

Shannon Mullen, editor-in-chief of the National Catholic Register, welcomes Register staff writer Matt McDonald to discuss the recent Opus Dei tragedy in California and Register staff writer Jonah McKeown discusses the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling restricting access to online pornography.

Fundación Grandes Amigos lanza una campaña que reclama la regulación de términos como “antiedad” o “anti-envejecimiento”, por considerarlos una forma de crueldad hacia las personas mayores. Informa Jorge Martínez. Hace unos meses nos visitaba la periodista Mónica Terribas para presentarnos el documental El Minuto Heroico  yo también salí del Opus, que narraba la vida de 13 mujeres que habían salido del Opus Dei, un documental sobre la vulneración sistemática de derechos. Uno de ellos, el del trabajo. Ellas trabajaban pero no tenían contrato ni veían el dinero que supuestamente cobraban. Hablamos con Mónica Terribas. En el cielo nocturno, si tenemos un buen telescopio, hay un punto que no es una estrella de las que vemos habitualmente. Si nos fijamos bien, se mueve distinto estos días. Es un objeto al que los astrónomos han llamado 3i- ATLAS  y es la tercera vez que el ser humano ve algo parecido en toda la historia de la ciencia. Informa Javier Ruiz Martínez. 

Carles Francino charla con Mònica Terribes, directora del documental El Minuto Heroico, sobre todas aquellas mujeres afectadas por el Opus Dei. 

El Opus Dei, fundado por Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer tras una "iluminación divina" en 1928, es una Prelatura Personal de la Iglesia Católica que promueve la santidad en la vida ordinaria. Sin embargo, su historia está marcada por controversias que van desde el uso de la autoflagelación y acusaciones de condiciones laborales dudosas, hasta serias denuncias de manipulación en el manejo de herencias millonarias. A pesar de estas polémicas y las recientes reformas del Papa Francisco que buscan reajustar su estatus canónico, el Vaticano ha evitado intervenir directamente en las controversias internas más álgidas, dejando a la "Obra de Dios" envuelta en un persistente halo de misterio y poder.También puedes escucharnos en Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music o tu app de podcasts favorita.Apóyanos en Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/leyendaspodcastApóyanos en YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/leyendaslegendarias/joinVisita nuestra página para ver contenido extra:www.leyendaslegendarias.comSíguenos:https://instagram.com/leyendaspodcasthttps://twitter.com/leyendaspodcasthttps://facebook.com/leyendaspodcast#Podcast #LeyendasLegendarias #OpusDei #Sectas  #JosemariaEscriva #Vaticano #IglesiaCatolica #Controversia #HerenciasOpusDei #EscandalosReligiosos #MortificacionCorporal

En este episodio de Fragmentos de Historia nos detenemos en la vida de una mujer singular: Elena Blesa. Nacida en 1925 en Barcelona, fue una de las primeras agregadas del Opus Dei. La historiadora María Hernández-Sampelayo Matos reconstruye su trayectoria vital, marcada por su labor en España y Venezuela, a través de una investigación que combina documentos de archivo y testimonios personales.

Hollywood actor Tim Pocock was tricked by his dying, devout mother into undergoing gay conversion therapy. After she died, Tim finally learned how to be himself, without fear and self-loathing.Tim grew up under the thumb of his charismatic, pious mother.He went to a school with links to the controversial, secretive and conservative Catholic organisation, Opus Dei.There, he desperately tried to hide his sexuality, and was ruthlessly bullied for his musical and stage talents.Despite Tim's success in Australian opera, television, and in Hollywood blockbusters, he continued to harbour many secrets about himself and his family.One day his mother, who loved Tim deeply in her own way, and who was dying from ovarian cancer, convinced her only son to come with her to therapy. Instead of finally being able to talk about his struggles, Tim found himself being tricked into gay conversion therapy.For the last few months of his mother's life, he went to be hypnotised by a 'Catholic psychologist' every week, until eventually she died, and Tim was set free to learn how live by and for himself.Further informationThe Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up gay in Opus Dei is published by Hachette.You can stream the Four Corners report into schools with ties to Opus Dei, which features Tim, on ABC iview.The Pared Foundation's full responses to questions from Four Corners can be read here.Opus Dei Australia provided Four Corners with this statement.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler.

You might know actor Tim Pocock from his roles in Dance Academy or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Even as a child, he graced the Sydney Opera House starring in operas directed by Baz Lurhman. But that world of artistic expression was in stark contrast to the other world Tim was part of for so long - one of repression by conservative catholicism under Opus Dei - made all the worse as he began to realise who he truly was. In this chat, Tim reveals his experiences of shame, bullying and conversion therapy, as well as his journey toward healing, discovery and self-acceptance, and the ongoing work of undoing the trauma of the beliefs that kept him feeling trapped for so long. An inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt silenced or lived an inauthentic life, an insight into certain pockets of religious institutions and a vital plea for the parents of every LGBTIAQ+ child.

Before Australian actor, Tim Pocock, was cast as young Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he was a teenager growing up in a strict Catholic home - navigating a world where being gay wasn’t just discouraged, it was treated as something to be fixed. In this raw and powerful conversation, Tim opens up about his time at Redfield College in Sydney - a school linked to Opus Dei. He speaks candidly about surviving conversion therapy, and the years he spent battling internalised homophobia. Tim also shares what it was like to grow up silenced, how that trauma shaped his relationship with his body, his family and his faith, and what it took to finally unlearn it all - and live as himself. This is a story of survival, truth, and reclaiming identity.

Friends of the Rosary,The Catholic Church honors today St. Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975), a contemporary Spanish saint who founded Opus Dei and opened a new path of holiness by helping the faithful to sanctify themselves through performing ordinary work and daily duties with a Christian spirit.Pope John Paul II canonized the founder of Opus Dei in 2002. The Holy Father said, "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."Today, we are also invited to listen to and act on the words of Christ Jesus in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This way we will be like a wise man whose house is built on rock, avoiding that our entire life collapses.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!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!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Thursday of the 12th Week in Ordinary Time Saint of the Day: St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, 1902-1975; born in Barbastro, Spain, the second of six children of Jose and Dolores Escriva; in 1915, he observed the fresh footprints in the snow of a barefoot monk, and wondered what God wanted of him; in 1928, as a priest, he solved the mystery, seeing holiness all around him, and founded Opus Dei; Monsignor Escriva died at the age of 73 in 1975 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 6/26/25 Gospel: Matthew 7:21-29

Meditación sobre la invitación del fundador del Opus Dei para que los cristianos seamos sembradores de paz y de alegría. Fundamentos espirituales de estas dos virtudes y consecuencias sociales.

Mortifications, loneliness, working day and night. Anne Marie Allen, who was recruited to Opus Dei at the age of 15 and escaped after 7 years has written a book on her on her life as a fifteen-year-old in Opus Dei 'Serve My Lost Years at the Heart of Ireland's Opus Dei'

San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer fue un sacerdote joven profundamente enamorado de Dios y a quien el señor le escogió como instrumento para la fundación del Opus Dei, llevando a todos los rincones y ambientes del mundo el mensaje de Santidad en la vida ordinaria y buscando convertir todos los momentos y circunstancias en oración. San Josemaría recordó que cuando un cristiano desempeña con amor lo más intrascendente de las acciones diarias, aquello rebosa de la trascendencia de Dios. Dedicó su vida a llevar el mensaje de hacer divinos los caminos humanos, invitando a que tanto la vida cotidiana, hecha de péquelas realidad herreñas, como la vida interior, constituyeran una única existencia santa. Es aquí que, con Jesús sacramentado en manos, San Josemaría no veía tres almas, sino trescientas, trescientas mil, treinta millones, tres mil millones, que podían poner su vida al servicio de algo grande… y se ha quedado corto. Porque como dijo él, “Dios ha sido mucho más generoso”.

"El santo de la vida cotidiana, Fundador del Opus Dei"

Meditación en el viernes de la XI semana del Tiempo Ordinario. Jesús nos dice en el Evangelio de hoy: «Haceos tesoros en el cielo, donde no hay polilla ni carcoma que los roen, ni ladrones que abren boquetes y roban. Porque donde está tu tesoro, allí estará tu corazón». Eso se logra con el amor, queriendo a los demás, porque es lo único que pervivirá en el Cielo. A eso se dirige el esfuerzo de lograr tener los mismos sentimientos que Cristo. Esta meditación es la segunda meditación de un retiro predicado en un Centro del Opus Dei, y continuación de "Confiar en el corazón de Jesús".

From Supreme Court infiltration to human trafficking, secretive Catholic cult Opus Dei wields dangerous power. Gareth Gore exposes its operations here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1170What We Discuss with Gareth Gore:Journalist Gareth Gore discovered secretive Catholic cult Opus Dei's control of Spain's Banco Popular through archived records after the bank's 2017 collapse — revealing decades of financial manipulation.Opus Dei recruits girls as young as 11 from poor communities, promising education but enslaving them as unpaid domestic workers in "hospitality schools" worldwide.The organization has deeply penetrated US political circles, with connections to Supreme Court justices through Federalist Society leader Leonard Leo — potentially influencing major rulings.Members endure physical self-harm rituals, live under surveillance, and submit to "chat" sessions that collect compromising personal information for manipulation.The good news: the vast majority of Opus Dei members are genuinely good people who'd be horrified to learn about the trafficking and manipulation happening in their organization's name. New Pope Leo isn't just aware of Opus Dei's shenanigans — he began actively working to dismantle its power structure within hours of taking office.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In this heartfelt and lively conversation, Fr. Phil and Fr. Paul dive into the life and message of St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, to explore what it truly means to become a saint in everyday life. With wit, honesty, and real-life examples, they dismantle the myth of the saint as a "spiritual superhero" and propose something far more attainable—and transformative: holiness through ordinary life.  This episode touches on why sanctity isn't about doing something extraordinary, but about allowing God to work in us, especially through our work, our relationships, and even our study habits. Whether you're a student stressed about exams or a parent guiding your child's formation, this episode offers clarity and hope rooted in the deep message of divine filiation: you are a beloved child of God.    Discussion Points:     How the vision of Opus Dei reframes daily work and study as pathways to holiness.  The connection between childlike trust and spiritual growth.  The concept of gift-mentality and rediscovering wonder in ordinary life.  Study as prayer and service: practical tips for students.  What schools inspired by St. Josemaria try to cultivate: personal mentoring, deep friendship, and family involvement.  How one-on-one relationships reflect the Gospel pattern of encounter, and how Jesus models this personal, loving attention.    Join the Conversation    Do you sometimes feel like holiness is out of reach or only for a select few?   How have you experienced God working through your ordinary, everyday responsibilities?   If you're a parent or educator, how do you help children see their work and life as a path to holiness?  We'd love to hear from you!

Do you also struggle with trying to control?Do you try to control your husband so you'll have a happier marriage?  Do you try to control your children's misbehavior with punishments and consequences rather than teaching them how to behave?Here's the truth - We can't control others – not our husband and not our children - but we can always control how we respond to them.To get on the waitlist for my Virtue-Based Parenting Course, click HERE.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Ralph welcomes Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, to break down the budget bill passing through Congress that is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and working-class to the wealthy in United States history. Then, insurance expert, Robert Hunter returns to discuss the recent rise in auto insurance rates.Heidi Shierholz is the president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank that uses the power of its research on economic trends and on the impact of economic policies to advance reforms that serve working people, deliver racial justice, and guarantee gender equity. In 2021 she became the fourth president EPI has had since its founding in 1986.We've never seen a budget that so plainly takes from the poor to give to the rich… The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that lower and lower middle-income people will actually lose out. They may get something of a tax break, but they lose benefits. So that on net, their after-tax income will be lower after this bill, while the rich just make out like bandits.Heidi Shierholz, President of the Economic Policy InstituteThe draconian cuts that we are seeing to the safety net are not big enough, because the tax increases are so huge that this bill also increases the deficit dramatically.Heidi ShierholzMany folks are calling this the MAGA Murder Bill. They're not wrong. People will die because of the cuts that we're seeing here.Heidi ShierholzRobert Hunter is the Director Emeritus of Insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. He has held many positions in the field, both public and private, including being the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Texas being the President and Founder of the National Insurance Consumer Organization and served as United States Federal Insurance Administrator.Decide how much you need. Don't ask for more than you really need. And then once you have it, “I need this much for my car. I need this much if I hit somebody” and so on. And then you get that statistic, and you send it out to several companies and get quotes.Robert Hunter on buying auto insuranceThere isn't any program benefiting the American people that Trump is not cutting in order to turn the country over to the giant corporations and the super-rich. It's basically an overthrow of the government and an overthrow of the rule of law.Ralph NaderNews 6/6/251. On May 23rd, the Trump administration Department of Justice officially announced it had reached an agreement with Boeing to drop its criminal case against the airline manufacturer related to the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed 346 people, NPR reports. The turnover at the federal government in recent years has prolonged this case; the first Trump administration reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing in 2021, but prosecutors revived the criminal case under President Biden, and as NPR notes, “Boeing agreed last year to plead guilty to defrauding regulators, but a federal judge rejected that proposed plea deal.” Just before the deal was reached, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal penned a letter calling on the DOJ not to “allow [Boeing] to weasel its way out of accountability for its failed corporate culture, and for any illegal behavior that has resulted in deadly consequence,” but this was clearly ignored. Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah and former federal judge who, according to NPR, is representing the families of victims for free, said, “This kind of non-prosecution deal is unprecedented and obviously wrong for the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history…My families will object and hope to convince the court to reject [the deal]."2. That same day, Trump signed a new executive order to “cut down on regulations and fast-track new licenses for [nuclear] reactors and power plants,” per Reuters. According to the wire service, “Shares of uranium mining companies Uranium Energy…Energy Fuels…and Centrus Energy…jumped between 19.6% and 24.2%” following this announcement. Sam Altman-backed nuclear startup Oklo gained 23.1%. The administration's new interest in the nuclear industry is spurred in part by increased demand for energy as, “power-hungry data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence and crypto miners plug into the grid.” The nuclear industry is also expected to retain many tax incentives stripped away from green energy initiatives in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.3. In yet another instance of the Trump administration going soft on corporate greed, the Republican-controlled Federal Trade Commission has dismissed their case against PepsiCo. As the AP explains, “The lawsuit…alleged that PepsiCo was giving unfair price advantages to Walmart at the expense of other vendors and consumers,” citing the 1936 Robinson-Patman Act, which bans companies from “using promotional incentive payments to favor large customers over smaller ones.” Current FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson called the case a “dubious partisan stunt,” in a press release. Former Chair Lina Khan however, called the dismissal “disturbing,” and wrote, “This lawsuit would've protected families from paying higher prices at the grocery store and stopped conduct that squeezes small businesses and communities across America. Dismissing it is a gift to giant retailers as they gear up to hike prices.”4. Instead of utilizing the federal regulatory apparatus to protect consumers and the public, the Trump administration instead continues to weaponize these institutions to target progressive groups. According to Axios, the FTC is “investigating…Media Matters over claims that it and other media advocacy groups coordinated advertising boycotts of Elon Musk's X.” As this report notes, “X [formerly Twitter] sued Media Matters for defamation in 2023 for a report it publicly released that showed ads on X running next to pro-Nazi content. X claimed the report contributed to an advertiser exodus.” While it seems unlikely the social media platform could prevail in such a suit, the suit has effectively cowed the advertising industry, with the World Federation of Advertisers dismantling their Global Alliance for Responsible Media just months after the suit was filed. Media Matters president Angelo Carusone is quoted saying, “The Trump administration has been defined by naming right-wing media figures to key posts and abusing the power of the federal government to bully political opponents and silence critics…that's exactly what's happening here…These threats won't work; we remain steadfast to our mission.”5. On Thursday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez endorsed State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in his bid for Mayor of New York City, POLITICO reports. This endorsement came the morning after the first mayoral primary debate, a rollicking affair featuring nine candidates and including a testy exchange in which the moderators disregarded their own rules to press Mamdani to say whether he believed in “a Jewish state of Israel?” Mamdani responded that he believed Israel has a right to exist “as a state with equal rights.” This from the Times of Israel. In her endorsement, AOC wrote “Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack…In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.” Ocasio-Cortez said she would rank Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie in that order after Mamdani.6. Turning to Palestine itself, the Times of Israel reports notorious Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted in an interview that, “It is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in Gaza. While Miller stops short of accusing the Israeli government of pursuing “a policy of deliberately committing war crimes,” and repeats the tired canard that Hamas resisted ceasefire negotiations, he admits that the Biden administration “could have done [more] to pressure the Israeli government to agree to…[a] ceasefire.” Hopefully, Miller's admission will help crack the dam of silence and allow the truth to be told about this criminal military campaign.7. Even as Miller makes this admission, the merciless bombing of Palestinians continues. The Guardian reports “On Sunday, at least 31 Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire at the site of a food distribution centre in Rafah…On Monday, another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire at the same site…And on Tuesday, 27 people were killed after Israeli forces opened fire again, say Gaza officials.” This report continues, citing UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, who said on Tuesday that “Palestinians in Gaza now faced an impossible choice: ‘Die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meagre food that is being made available.'” Türk added that by attacking civilians, Israel is committing yet more war crimes.8. Some high-profile activists are taking direct action to deliver food to Gaza. Democracy Now! reports 12 activists aboard The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, have departed from the Italian port of Catania. This group includes Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament. Despite the previous ship being targeted by a drone attack, Thunberg is quoted saying “We deem the risk of silence and the risk of inaction to be so much more deadly than this mission.” Threats to the flotilla continue to pour in. South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” In Israel itself, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin ominously stated “we will act accordingly," per FOX News.9. In more foreign policy news, Gareth Gore – a Washington Post reporter and author of Opus, an exposé of the shadowy Opus Dei sect within the Catholic Church – reports Pope Leo has given Opus Dei six months to “pass comprehensive reforms” and has told the group that if significant changes are not made by December, “necessary measures will be taken.” Gore further reports that in addition to the reforms, “[Pope] Leo has also demanded an investigation into abuse allegations…[including] human trafficking, enslavement…[and] physical and psychological abuse of members.” According to Gore, the reforms were first ordered by Pope Francis in 2022, but “Opus Dei dragged its feet – in the hope the pope would pass away first.” Upon his death, Pope Francis had been on the, “cusp of signing into canon law a huge reform of Opus Dei.” The Vatican was also moving to force a vote on a revised Opus Dei constitution, which was, “quietly cancelled” within hours of Francis' death. Perhaps most tellingly, Gore reports “The Vatican has privately reassured Opus Dei victims who have long campaigned for justice that they ‘won't be disappointed'”10. Finally, a political earthquake has occurred in South Korea. Listeners may remember the failed coup attempt by right-wing former President Yoon Suk Yeol, which culminated in his ouster and could ultimately lead to a sentence of life in prison or even death. Now, the country has elected a new president, Lee Jae-myung, by a margin of 49.4% to 41.2%. Lee, who leads Korea's Democratic People's Party, has “endured a barrage of criminal indictments and an assassination attempt,” since losing the last presidential election by a margin of less than 1 per cent, per the Financial Times. Lee is a former factory worker who campaigned in a bulletproof vest after surviving being knifed in the neck last year. The FT notes “Lee…grew up in poverty and suffered [a] permanent injury at the age of 13 when his arm was crushed in a machine at the baseball glove factory where he worked…in 2022 [he] declared his ambition to be a ‘successful Bernie Sanders'.” That said, he has pivoted to the center in his recent political messaging. Beyond the impact of Lee's election on the future of Korean democracy, his tenure is sure to set a new tone in Korea's relations with their neighbors including the US, the DPRK, China and Japan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

It's when a child responds to authority, usually a parent, in a rude, defiant, or disrespectful way.Now, back talk isn't always about rebellion. It often comes from frustration, a need for control, or emotional overwhelm. And while it's frustrating, it's important to understand that it's developmentally normal. Kids, especially early teens and teens, are learning to assert themselves. But just because it's a normal developmental stage, doesn't mean it's okay. And when we feel disrespected or angry, we often speak disrespectfully to them as we tell them – or yell at them – about how disrespectful they're being to us.So, rather than focusing on their action – we need to focus on our action – that comes from what we think our role as parents should be.We need to be teachers. Our job as parents is to teach our children to speak with respect.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Meditación en el Domingo VI (C) de Pascua, sobre los Hechos de los Apóstoles, predicadas en un retiro mensual en un Centro del Opus Dei. Meditamos tres pasajes: la elección de Matías, el nombramiento de los 7 primeros diáconos, y el Concilio de Jerusalén, que nos cuenta la Primera Lectura de hoy. Los primeros cristianos fueron fieles al Evangelio, con iniciativa para encarnarlo y extenderlo a todas las gentes, contando con la ayuda de los demás para no desviarse de lo esencial.

In this episode of the Fairest Love podcast, we speak with JL Marti, CEO of the Fairest Love Family Project, about the profound connection between vocation, family, and faith. JL shares his personal journey from Spain to the U.S., his life as a numerary in Opus Dei, and how his vocation has shaped his understanding of love, presence, and purpose.The conversation explores the importance of discernment, the quiet beauty of finding God in daily life, and the vital role families play in helping children recognize and pursue their unique callings.JL reflects on the influence of his own parents in his vocational journey, the mission of Opus Dei in the modern world, and the hope he sees for the future of family life—rooted in unconditional love, faith, and devotion to Mary, Mother of Fair Love.To learn more about the Fairest Love Family Project, visit: https://www.fairestlovefamilyproject.org/

Meditación predicada en un Centro del Opus Dei el día de San Matías, Apóstol. Para un cristiano la suerte no existe, existe el cuidado amoroso de Dios.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lancemore Centre in Toronto on May 11, 2025. We all must grow in fraternity. If the centres is like a garden, all the flowers need light, all need water. There is always somebody caring for the cleanliness, showing interest in people coming. Let us examine how we cultivate this special atmosphere around us.Music: Regi Stone, All Heavens Declares.

Meditación en el IV Domingo (C) de Pascua. Esta es la primera de tres meditaciones sobre los Hechos de los Apóstoles predicadas en un retiro mensual de mayo en un Centro del Opus Dei. En esta meditación nos fijamos en cómo los primeros cristianos convirtieron poco a poco el imperio romano con la sencillez de su amistad y confidencia. Y lo hicieron porque su testimonio se fundaba en esta verdad: Cristo Resucitado y vivo para siempre.

En este episodio de Fragmentos de historia Julio Montero relata los inicios del colegio Tajamar, una de las primeras labores apostólicas del Opus Dei, que impulsó social y educativamente a Vallecas, uno de los barrios más desfavorecidos de Madrid.

Fifteen years after Sarah Silverman's viral call to “Sell the Vatican, Feed the World,” we now have a “Marxist Pope,” according to Trump stormtrooper Laura Loomer, and our wildest dreams. This week for Gaslit Nation's bonus show, we dive into the groundbreaking election of the first American pope, Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, whose ancestry ties him to Black lineage. While many celebrate this historic milestone, deeper questions remain.  Most crucially, Pope Leo's stance on Opus Dei, a secretive, powerful crime cult aligned with far-right politics and accused of human trafficking and labor abuses, remains unclear, especially given his close connections to Opus Dei in Peru. By Vatican standards, Pope Francis launched an open war on Opus Dei. (Fun fact: Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent and traitor who spied for the Kremlin, was an Opus Dei member).  Pope Francis began the work of reigning in Opus Dei's unchecked power. Pope Leo, seen as a moderate administrator, played both sides during his tenure in Peru, where Opus Dei holds sway. Will he now take bold action to finish Francis's mission, and protect the world from Opus Dei, especially America where Opus Dei has been expanding its influence in Washington, DC, thanks to allies Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025?  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

The famous Latin expression “Opus Dei” has connections to several orders. Fr. Fessio explains these associations and the Latin meaning behind it.

Without a clear destination with anything we do, our chances of a successful outcome is really limited.It's no different with parenting.  As a parent, what's the destination for your children? What kind of adult do you want your children to become?When we have a clear idea of the end goal, the day to day has more meaning because we understand that each interaction and behavior either contributes to the end goal or it doesn't.My course, "Virtue-Based Parenting" is now open for enrollment.  I teach you how to create your "adult goal" for your children and how to uncover the actions you'll need to take to help your child reach that goal of a good, faith-filled, virtuous adult.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching
