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.
