On Saturday November 21, 27 deacons we’re ordained in Rome for the Prelature of Opus Dei. Among them the first Lithuanian, a Croatian, a young Japanese and a Montrealer, Fadi Sarraf, originally fromSyria. It was a moment of joy, but with all the masks present, absence of families that couldn’t come, and the careful distancing, one could sense that they were taking advantage of the grace of the pandemic. What exactly is this grace, and how can we take advantage of it?
