Through it, she came to admit the reality of her abortion but also the realisation that she was given no real choice. In the end she discovered the consolation of accepting herself and her motherhood in the grace of God. For more information see Day for Life - Catholic Bishops' Conference (cbcew.org.uk).

Feast of St Jose Maria Escriva: Fr Stephen Reynolds will be Principal Celebrant at Mass this Monday, the 19th of June at 7pm to celebrate the founder of Opus Dei.

A personal prelature is a judicial structure of a secular character governed by a Prelate and erected by the Holy See to carry out specific pastoral or missionary activities. Opus Dei is a personal Prelature, international in scope, which aims to spread throughout all sectors of society a deep awareness of the universal call to sanctity and apostolate in the fulfilment of one’s ordinary job or profession. It is formed by a Prelate with his own clergy and lay people, men/women, who in virtue of a divine vocation freely join the Prelature.
