Encounters: Finding God in All Walks of Life

By: John Coverdale
  • Summary

  • St. Josemaría liked to say that, with Opus Dei, God had “opened up the divine paths of the earth.” In other words, God invites men and women of all walks of life to the fullness of Christian life while passionately loving the world in which we live. In this series, you will meet a handful of these men and women, ranging from an American plumber to a Swiss philanthropist and from a Spanish teenager with cancer to a Guatemalan pediatrician. In these stories, may we all be encouraged and inspired to live a life of deep faith, committed to our call to holiness through the means God has given us.
