Opus Dei

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer when we look at our lives in God's presence. This guide can help us spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God, right where we are.

Generosity gives us magnanimous hearts, capable of holding more happiness and reaching out to more people. This article is part of a series on the virtues, inspired by St. Josemaría’s homily “Human Virtues.”

An interview with Msgr. Mariano Fazio, auxiliary vicar of Opus Dei, on the Italian TV200 programme “Di Buon Mattino,” speaking about his book, “Protagonisti del bene comune. San Josemaría Escrivá e i cristiani nella società contemporanea.” This is a translated transcript of the conversation, in which he explains how St. Josemaría’s message on holiness in ordinary life invites Christians to engage with society, work with professionalism, and contribute to the common good.

The proofreader for the English edition of “Yauyos: An Adventure in the Andes” reflects on what she learned from the story of Opus Dei’s pioneering mission in the Peruvian highlands.

In his 8 April general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued the catechetical cycle on the Second Vatican Council, speaking about the dogmatic constitution “Lumen gentium” and the universal call to holiness.

Close to 2,500 students from 26 countries were in Rome to live Holy Week with the Pope and meet the Prelate of Opus Dei. The theme of UNIV in 2026 was “Building bridges: the art of dialogue.”

On Easter Sunday, Pope Leo XIV delivered his Urbi et Orbi message from St. Peter’s Basilica, proclaiming Christ's resurrection as “the beginning of a new humanity.” He called on the world to be transformed by the peace of the Risen Christ and to reject the growing “globalization of indifference” to war and suffering.

This homily by St. Josemaria isn't just a set of beautiful thoughts about Easter: it's a conversation starter so you can talk to the Risen Christ in your life right now.

The Regina Coeli (or "Regina Cæli") is a Marian and Christological prayer honouring the Virgin Mary during the Easter season. The composition opens with the words, "Queen of Heaven," and is a liturgical celebration of the Resurrection of Mary's Son, Jesus Christ.
