It is in the midst of the most material things of the earth that we must sanctify ourselves, serving God and all mankind.
St. Josemaría, Conversations 113
The feast of Saint Josemaría (June 26) will be commemorated throughout Nigeria with numerous celebrations and concelebrations that will bring together many to give thanks to God for the gift of the Eucharist and to further their commitment to seek sanctity in the ordinary affairs of each day.
