Encounters: Finding God in All Walks of Life

The people who appear in this podcast are very different, ranging from a plumber to a professor of Medicine, but they all tried to find God in their daily lives following the spirituality of Opus Dei. This introduction offers an overview of that spirituality. It provides the necessary background for readers who are not familiar with Opus Dei.

Ruth Pakaluk: Wife, Mother, Friend, Activist

Ruth was an extraordinarily warm, talented, and engaging woman. She entered Harvard University as a pro-choice atheist. After her conversion to Catholicism, she dedicated herself to raising her family and to pro-life activism. At age 33, Ruth was diagnosed with cancer. She refused to allow the final eight years of her life to be dominated by the disease. In addition to carrying on with her pro-life activities and involvement in local politics, she became the host of a local television program, continued hiking, and learned to ski. Shortly before dying peacefully at age 41, she wrote to a friend: "I have loved the life God gave me. There is no other life I would rather have lived.”
