Opus Dei

Nearly forty years ago, Natale Sandoli left Venezuela for Tenerife. A photographer, husband, and father of three, he’s the first to admit he wasn't much of a churchgoer back then. That changed when a friend handed him a copy of “The Forge.”

One of the most intense moments in the Gospel unfolds in Bethany. Jesus’ response to Lazarus’ death shows that true friendship doesn’t spare us from pain. Rather, it transforms that pain into life.

4 August is the feast of Saint John Mary Vianney, who Saint Josemaria named intercessor for Opus Dei's relationship with the diocesan bishops. This is a study on the relationship between the two saints.

Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz spent close to a month in Pamplona. Before returning to Rome, he took part in a gathering attended by thousands of people, mostly families connected with Opus Dei’s apostolic activities in Navarre, the Basque Country, La Rioja, and Soria. It was held last Thursday, 23 July, at the University of Navarre’s sports center.

This ebook is an invitation to rediscover love of neighbour as the compass of the Christian life, beginning with the parable of the Good Samaritan. It explores the principles of the Church’s social doctrine — justice, solidarity, the common good — and the challenge of building genuine dialogue in a fragmented world. We are called to live the faith with initiative, public presence, and openness to those who think differently.
