Tags: Sickness, Faith Learning about Josemaria Escriva has helped me achieve greater clarity in my faith. By attending the programs of formation offered by the Prelature of Opus Dei, I have received great consolation because they make me understand in a deeper way the graces we receive in the Sacraments, particularly the Sacrament of Confession and the Sacrament of Communion. I see Mother Mary and the Communion of Saints as a source of help that I had not known about before. I have come to a fuller happy acceptance of my son’s disability as a gift from God.
