Opus Dei

In this 11-minute podcast, Bishop Javier Echevarria reflects on two of the spiritual works of mercy: "instructing the ignorant" and "offering good advice to the one who needs it."

On June 7, 1974, the founder of Opus Dei, Msgr Josemaria Escriva, arrived in Argentina, wishing to carry out an intense catechetical apostolate. During his stay in Argentina he had many encounters with people in Opus Dei, families and friends. In these gatherings he talked about the great themes that move the world: God and men, life and death, suffering and joy, love and the fight against sin.
