Opus Dei

After completing her graduation, Joslin worked as a Computer Instructor and Computer Programmer in India and abroad. Now she lives in Mumbai with her husband and two daughters. During these trying times of pandemic, among restrictions, confinement and lockdowns, fear and uncertainties, she found a nice and simple way of keeping in touch, accompanying and helping her friends from home: virtual “Kitty parties.”

Nicholas Patankar was born in Goa and now lives in Mumbai, where he completed his Bachelors in Commerce and currently works as a financial analyst. He is a Cooperator of Opus Dei. Since when? Why? Let him answer.

On the eighth centenary of St. Francis of Assisi's death, Friar Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land, looks at what the St. Francis' poverty and St. Josemaría's teaching on detachment have in common.

A new website to help you prepare for the centenary of Opus Dei, bringing together everything related to the celebration in one place: core materials, resources for your spiritual life, stories from around the world, and updates on what's being planned in your own country.

Opus Dei was born on October 2, 1928, while St. Josemaría was making a retreat at the Vincentian Fathers' house in Madrid: St. Vincent de Paul had a great impact on St. Josemaría from his childhood to the very day he saw Opus Dei. As the Work journeys toward its first centenary, we look back on these encounters as one more reason to give thanks for the saints who have walked alongside it in history.

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.

The Prelate sends his greeting on the occasion of October 2 and invites us to begin the first year of preparation for the centenary with gratitude to God and to St. Josemaría, and with the desire to be contemplatives in the middle of the world.

Across four episodes, more than forty people from ten countries open up about how experiencing God's love in daily life has helped them find strength in their own fragility. It's a journey from Brazil to South Korea that takes us into true stories full of challenges, yes, but also of faith and hope.

On 29 September, we celebrate the feast of the Holy Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. An account of how St. Josemaria came to choose them as patrons of Opus Dei and other resources for this feast.
