What does the motu proprio ‘Ad charisma tuendum’ mean for the life of the faithful of the Prelature?

Questions and answers about the Motu Proprio “Ad charisma tuendum" and the Extraordinary General Congress of Opus Dei.

The motu proprio is a call to become aware of the potential of Opus Dei’s charism in the Church’s mission. As the Holy Father says, “according to the gift of the Spirit received by Saint Josemaría Escrivá, the Prelature of Opus Dei, with the guidance of the Prelate himself, fulfils the mission of spreading the call to holiness in the world, through the sanctification of work and of family and social duties.” Since it is the Pope himself who reminds us of this responsibility, the faithful of Opus Dei will be moved to delve ever deeper into this charism and discern, with the light of the Holy Spirit, how to incarnate it in the new situations of our world.
