Every year I go on retreat about this time. It’s lead by the women’s Opus Dei center in St. Louis. I’ve been going for a number of years now and I love them. They’re silent, reflective and much needed. I especially enjoy it when it comes so close to Holy Week. So I will be on retreat starting this evening until Sunday afternoon. Please pray for me! I will be praying for all of my readers!
Though I am not a “member” of Opus Dei, I do love and follow the basic spirituality of the prelature – holiness in daily life and the sanctification of work. My father is a “cooperator”. The book, Passionately Loving the World, a sermon by founder St. Josemaria Escriva, best describes the focus of Opus Dei.
Peace to you all!

My husband and I are not members either, but we were married in an Opus Dei parish and both get much from JoseMaria’s type of everyday spirituality. Have a very blessed retreat!
Hi,
I love your blog! I’ll pray through St Josemaria’s intercession for the good work you are doing. Re the homily Passionately Loving the World, did you know that it is also online on a website of St Josemaria’s works at:
http://www.escrivaworks.org
in fact the direct link is
http://www.escrivaworks.org/book/conversations-chapter-8.htm
Also, would you like to add a link on your blog to our own website, http://www.josemariaescriva.info
With prayers and best wishes,
Helena
