Another Good Newspaper Article

I find it interesting that so many people still try to find something sensational and lurid about Opus Dei. That’s why it’s nice to see a reporter come out with an article like this one in the London Times Online, “A wholesome reality shines beyond the dark conspiracy.”

It’s written by a woman who makes some very good points. It appears that the reality of Opus Dei is much more “normal” than some people would like us to believe. I say, “duh.” Read the founder’s writings to find out why.

Good Newspaper Article On Opus Dei

Boy the path to holiness was a tough one this past week. I was working from a hotel room in another state all week and there wasn’t a convenient Mass to attend so I missed several days. That’s like not working out physically to me. Something is missing from the day! I tried to make the fact that I couldn’t attend Mass on those days an offering since it did seem like mortification to just work and not take the time to find a church with a Mass.

I wonder if this happens to other people who travel a lot. Do you find it hard to attend Mass? I usually don’t. This was a slightly unusual situation and one I think I could have planned ahead for a little better.

There’s a pretty good story on Opus Dei in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from yesterday titled “Opus Dei is unique in Catholic world.” The writer interviewed local cooperators and members of the Wespine Study Center.

TV Networks Working On Pope John Paul II Movies

The International Herald Tribune isn’t a paper I would normally expect to see Opus Dei mentioned in but this is interesting. It’s a story about 2 TV Networks (ABC and CBS) working on mini-series of the life of Pope John Paul II. In the article Opus Dei is mentioned starting on page 2 as they talk about where support has come from for at least one of the projects.
