Opus Dei Prelate U. S. Visit
I didn’t realize how many pictures and video clips there are on the Opus Dei website now. When the Prelate, Bishop Javier EchevarrÃa, recently visited the United States a lot of pictures were taken like this one in Houston. He had an inspiring message which you can watch in video clips you’ll find in this section of the Opus Dei website.
In his latest letter the Prelate writes of Advent, “During this liturgical time, the Church urges us to consider the end of time, when Christ will come in the splendor of his glory to judge all men, and to prepare ourselves to remember his temporal birth, now twenty centuries ago.
