In a Global Exclusive<\/strong>, all elements are in place for the proclamation of sainthood for Blessed \u00c1lvaro del Portillo y Diez de Sollano<\/strong>, the bishop and prelate of Opus Dei<\/strong>. The miracle that paves the way for his canonization took place in the Diocese of Le\u00f3n, Mexico, shining a light of hope and joy for members of Opus Dei, collaborators, friends, and millions globally connected to the apostolates of the Prelature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This divine occurrence joins another miracle recorded during the World Youth Day in Lisbon in 2023<\/strong>. A 16-year-old girl named Jimena, who participates in Opus Dei apostolates, miraculously regained her sight on the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Snows. This occurred following a prayer of thanksgiving after Holy Communion at the Chapel of the Apparitions in Fatima, Portugal<\/strong>. This marked the final day of a nine-day devotion that she and her friends had been observing in honor of the Virgin, and asking for this grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some view these revelations as affirmations of both the sanctity and works of Opus Dei<\/strong>, others approach them with skepticism. Regardless, these events have garnered attention not just within the church community but across the global stage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to report on the developments surrounding these phenomena, which unquestionably signal a turning point in both public and ecclesiastical perceptions of the Personal Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
