  • Pedro Ballester was born in Manchester on 22 May 1996. The eldest of three brothers, he was brought up in the north of England. From an early age he stood out for his warmheartedness and generosity. He was renowned for being a hard-working student, and a good friend to all. While in his late teens, his deep faith led him to dedicate his life to God in Opus Dei, seeking to love Jesus Christ above all things through his studies, friendships and ordinary life.
    As a numerary member of Opus Dei, Pedro received the gift of apostolic celibacy and made himself completely available to attend to the apostolic undertakings and the formation of other members of the Prelature.
    In December 2014, shortly after starting at university, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer of the pelvis. Pedro saw his illness as an opportunity to embrace the Cross of Jesus, and joyfully offered up his sufferings for the Pope, the Church, and all souls. The fortitude and serenity with which he bore his illness to the end inspired numerous people to come closer to God and the Church.
    Pedro rendered up his soul to God on 13 January 2018. From the very day of his death, reports have been received of favours obtained through his intercession.
    The documentary was directed by Juan Martin Ezratty and made by Digito Identidad (www.digitoiden...)

    I did live with Pedro in Netherhall House for barely a month before he was diagnosed but he quickly and strongly struck me as someone who was certainly on the track to holiness (on top of the fact that he was tremendosly knowledgaeable, curious, open minded and fun), or as I'd put it in my head when i met him "man this guy is almost perfect!".
    Some days before he was diagnosed, we went out to yard to play football and I remember him running with remendous difficulties, of course none of us nearly even imagined what was really going on and I joked with him in Spanish saying "hey dude, you're getting old!", he kept on playing and never complained about the pain he was in. Also, after he left Netherhall I got called in to take his place in a theater play he and some of the guys had planned for later that year - I did try my best, but it was his role.
    Seeing this documentary makes me really think about the example he's set for us, the things that really matter in life. Pedrito, ruega por nosotros!

    What a great video! Like so many of the people in this film, I also experienced first hand his capacity to immerse himself in the things that mattered to you while deflecting attention away from himself. He did it so elegantly and so genuinely that it only dawned the you later that the whole conversation was about you and not about him. And he did it even when he was in considerable pain. Pedro's was a hidden heroism fuelled by his love of God.

    Cette vidéo m'a arraché des larmes. Pedro tu as fait déjà tant de bien sûr la terre dans ta courte vie, tu en feras encore plus du ciel où tu es, j'en suis persuadée. Prie pour nous, pour les jeunes, pour toute L'Eglise.

    Muy buena producción, increíble haber podido reflejar con tanta transparencia la vida de Pedro, a quien no conocí personalmente, pero que a partir de ahora tendré como inspiración para amar más al prójimo. Con simpleza y convencida de que sin Dios no se puede vivir una vida plena, buscaré su intercesión para no perderme en el camino hacia el cielo. Gracias Dígito Publicidad 👏🏻

    Que hermoso testimonio de Fe y entregada de su vida Pedro, que me motiva a seguir buscando el camino del Señor. Un fraternal saludo a su familia y los amigos que tuvo. Desde Chile
    Al terminar el video de Pedro, no tengo duda que esta gozando junto a Nuestro Señor Jesucristo de un feliz vida, y que seguira acompañando a su familia y amistades

    Gracias por reunir en este video tantos recuerdos de Pedro. Me siento afortunado por haberlo conocido, ¡cuánto escondía detrás de su sonrisa y su aparente normalidad! Seguro que Dios lo tiene en el cielo y desde allí sigue pidiendo por los que a él se acercan

    It has been a holy experience to get to know Pedro with his dedication to Jesus Christ's sufferings in his remarkably brief, yet fulfilling life. I received a discernment on the 13th Jun 2023 long before knowing Pedro's life story. The following discernment is dedicated to Pedro's life and all the happy souls in Heaven under our Lord Jesus Christ's protection.
    I shall never die
    I shall live forever
    In our Precious Heavenly Father’s Kingdom
    in Eternity
    With my Lord Jesus Christ’s grace upon me
    I shall never die
    I shall live forever
    I shall be praying up there from heaven
    I shall never die
    I shall live forever
    I shall be praying the Holy Rosary to make up the void
    I shall be complying with our Precious Heavenly Father’s Divine, Sacred Will
    I shall be glorifying our Saviour Jesus Christ’s Name
    I shall never die
    I shall live for my Eternal Family
    I shall be in peace forever and ever
    With my Divine Trinity’s compassion, grace and mercy
    I shall be the living testimony of the Divine Truth
    I shall never die
    I shall live forever
    I shall overcome the evil
    With my Lord Jesus Christ’s Divine, Sacred, Holy Love

    What an Amazing Purpose -filled precious young life Pedro! You have impacted and touched the world with the purpose you have fulfilled in your destiny to win many to the kingdom of God! Pedro’s life can be aligned to Apostle Paul, a disciple of Jesus who penned “ For me to live is Christ; to die is gain.”

    Agradezco haber tenido la oportunidad de compartir este video que muestra la grandeza de lo de todos los días en la vida de cualquiera de nosotros y lo bien que lo aprovechó Pedrito, yo llevo años y él en tan poco tiempo se hizo digno de recibir el premio, una vida para Dios, dándolo todo, como dice el Cardenal Arthur Roche, nos inspira y su vida lo dice todo. Agregar algo me parece manosear la grandeza de la santidad.
