June 26, 2024, Memorial of St. Josemaría Escrivá, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the memorial of St. Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975).

He was a Spaniard priest who founded Opus Dei. He helped the faithful sanctify themselves amid the world by performing ordinary work and daily duties with a Christian spirit.

"St. Josemaría was chosen by the Lord to proclaim the universal call to holiness and to indicate that everyday life, its customary activities, are a path towards holiness. It could be said that he was the saint of the ordinary," said Pope John Paul II.

He died on June 26, 1975, and was canonized as a saint on October 6, 2002.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
St. Josemaría Escrivá, Pray for Us!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

To Jesus through Mary!
