Opus Dei

Whoever truly knows himself to be a son “discovers” that he is also a brother: feeling that warm embrace of God, he is able in turn to offer others a fatherly and brotherly embrace.

In this pastoral letter, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz invites us to reflect more deeply on the call to be contemplatives in the midst of the world, in light of the life of Jesus and the example of St. Josemaría, in preparation for the centenary of the Work.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2027.

This instalment explores the proper autonomy of temporal realities and the Christian value of secularity. Saint Josemaría’s teaching helps us understand that work, civil life, and professional commitments have laws of their own, and that the Christian is called to sanctify them from within, with freedom and personal responsibility.

The Prelate of Opus Dei reflects on some contemporary challenges in this interview with Exaudi.

In Opus Dei, we are preparing to celebrate our 100th year. It's a path of spiritual renewal, reflection and celebration taking place in nearly 70 countries. This is how our path to the centenary begins.

Inspired by Sacred Scripture and the teachings of St. Josemaría, this article reflects on how professional activity and ordinary life can become an authentic place of encounter with God and a concrete path to holiness in the middle of the world.

On the feast of Saint Joseph, the Prelate of Opus Dei encourages the faithful of the Work to prepare themselves spiritually for its centenary, with a grateful look towards the past and a hope-filled one towards the future.

The hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth reveals that our ordinary work and daily activities have a deep divine value. They can be a path for close union with God and responding to his call to holiness, by striving to imitate our Lord's entire life.

During the BeDoCare conferences held in Kenya this October, Fr. Javier del Castillo, Vicar General of Opus Dei, gave a talk in which he invited participants to reflect on the “culture of gift,” rooted in people’s daily “yes,” their generosity, and their spirit of service, across three key areas: family, professional work, and care and social charity.
