Opus Dei

On the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Monsignor Ocáriz invites us to ask our Lord for a heart like His, so that we can bring peace to those around us.

In the last years of his life, the founder of Opus Dei met with large groups of people throughout Spain and Latin America. Many of those encounters were filmed and now, fifty years later, they have been remastered and can be viewed with a much higher visual and audio quality.

Dominic and Winni from Hong Kong faced Covid-19 together in the hospital and, after a month and a half, managed to get through it.

In his 17 June General Audience, Pope Francis continued his catechesis on prayer, speaking about "The prayer of Moses."

Nothing can replace the value of being together, receiving the sacraments, and depending on one another. And "being together" online is not the same as being together in person. So get up and go out! Your friends -- and the fresh air -- are waiting for you.

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer in which we can look at our lives in the presence of God. As we continue to face a global plague, this guide for a "recollection-at-home" will help you spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God, right where you are.

During the coming weeks, we will publish, in audio format, some meditations preached by priests, which can help strengthen your life of prayer.

On Sunday night, Fran Ruiz Anton died after a long illness. He was well known in the field of communications, and always remembered the time the founder of Opus Dei held him in his arms as a young child.

In a recent interview with Olga Marlin, author of To Africa with a Dream and Our lives in his Hands, she started off by saying that “God, is a God of Surprises!”. Below is an excerpt of that interview.

An unmarked driveway off Karbasiran road in the Westlands area of Nairobi slopes gently to a fenced enclosure. At a corner, slabs laid into the earth form a pathway to a shaded grove. A thick concrete pedestal stands about a metre high. Surrounding it, four wooden posts hold a pergola roof over a beautiful statue of Our Lady. The life size image is cast from stone and painted white. Her gentle face looks down benevolently at those who come to seek her intercession.
