Opus Dei was founded in October 2, 1928: What happened that Day?
That explosion of grace came today in 1928, while he was on retreat with 6 other priests. He had prayed the breviary, read the Gospel, and was reviewing some notes. One note after another. Things were becoming clearer about what he was doing here in Madrid. Before he could formulate an answer, he heard sound of the bells of the church of Our Lady of the Angels drifting through the window, pealing to celebrate the feast of the Guardian Angels resounded. It was like the first tremors. And then the silent earthquake hit him, deep in his heart and in his mind. Preached in Centre Tour des Pins in Montreal, Oct 2, 2022. Music: Carlos Gardel, Soledad, arranged for guitar by Bert Alink. Thumbnail: Ignacio Valdéz, Painting of Sat. Josemaria, From Our Lady of the Angels, Madrid.
