Opus Dei

All human work, whether manual or intellectual, can be converted into a place to meet God and to serve others. Work in the university, when carried out with professional competence, is a source of harmony and solidarity among peoples.

Escriva's Message Is a Service to the Universal Church and All Particular Churches.

Prelate of Opus Dei says that holiness is not for the few.

All Christians are made one body with Christ through Baptism and participate in his redemptive mission. Each and every one therefore must actively work to pass on to all men and women the gospel Jesus preached.

His hands are now completely cured. He attributes the cure of his hands from chronic radiodermatitis to the petition he made to Blessed Josemaria.

Wanting to help, I gave him a prayer-card of Monsignor Josemaria Escriva, the Founder of Opus Dei. I suggested he could seek his protection and ask for the favor of his hands being cured.

Such conditions [of chronic radiodermatitis] always worsen progressively. Never until that moment had I known them to regress over a period of time. And in fact they had disappeared without any treatment.

I'm obviously surprised that he's operating again, knowing that he had grave radiodermatitis on his hands. I've been told that he's been able to return to full surgical practice because his hands are completely healthy now.
