June 26, Feast of St Josemaría
Here’s the account of St Josemaría’s death: On June 26, 1975, Msgr. Josemaría died suddenly in Rome. The previous month he had made his last visit to Spain, where he received the gold medal of his native town, Barbastro, and visited the nearby shrine of Torreciudad, which had been built at his request, and was about to be inaugurated. His death marked the end of the foundational stage of Opus Dei and, in the words of his successor, the beginning of the “stage of continuity and fidelity”. Msgr. Alvaro del Portillo, then Secretary General of Opus Dei, acted as its head until the elective congress was held. (Excerpts from Immersed in God: Blessed Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, as seen by his successor Bishop Alvaro del Portillo)

Happy Feastday!
I have launched a new website to honour the Irish Jesuit World War I military chaplain Fr Willie Doyle.
I have a special post up there today for the feast of St Josemaria, who was an admirer of Fr Doyle. In fact, he wrote about him in point 205 of The Way!
