Father Chen, who is also the Director of Guangqi Research Center and Publication of the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai, said in his homily that he has had the opportunity of reading some books of St. Josemaría because he needed to go over them before they were published in simplified Chinese. He also mentioned how St. Josemaría used to make an explicit act of faith after the Consecration, before the real presence of the Body and Blood of Our Lord.
