Lorenzo De Vittori is a scientist. He researched relativity and gravitational waves. But his life then took a radical turn.<\/p>\n
Now, he is an Opus Dei priest, an organization to which he already belonged founded by St. Josemar\u00eda Escriv\u00e1 in 1928 and dedicated to the laity.<\/p>\n
FR. LORENZO DE VITTORI<\/strong> From now on Lorenzo will devote himself to the spiritual care of Opus Dei's lay members.<\/p>\n It is a completely new but not totally unexpected scenario. In recent years, he moved to Rome to study theology, and last year the current prelate of Opus Dei, Fernando Oc\u00e1riz, proposed that he be ordained.<\/p>\n FR. LORENZO DE VITTORI<\/strong> Lorenzo De Vittori was ordained on May 21 along with 22 others. <\/p>\n He is clear that as a priest there is one point he will preach on in particular.<\/p>\n FR. LORENZO DE VITTORI<\/strong> Fr. De Vittori is convinced that faith and science enlighten each other and, in fact, the says that being ordained a priest does not mean he will stop working in the scientific field.<\/p>\n MRR<\/p>\n KG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 24, 2022.

\nScientist and priest <\/strong>
\n From St. Josemar\u00eda I learned, above all, to sanctify my work. First of all, as a researcher. Now I will do my best in my new job as a priest.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nScientist and priest <\/strong>
\nI left it in God's hands. During this time I finished my studies in theology, a master's degree and, last year, in April, the call came from Fr. Oc\u00e1riz, our prelate, and in this call I saw God's will, God's call, and I said 'yes, here I am!'<\/em><\/p>\n

\nAt the same time, I would like to be able to convey the beauty of forgiveness, learning to forgive oneself, learning to understand yourself, which does not mean simply forgetting, but loving others, including with past mistakes, and wanting to start over.<\/em><\/p>\n
