Opus Dei

In this first article on the human virtues we consider how all our desires can find their harmony in God. Discovering this requires time and effort, but it frees us to love.

A meditation (guided prayer) on the vocation of Saint Joseph to be the spouse of our Lady and to act as Jesus' father here on earth.

For the feast of Saint Joseph on March 19, we offer recordings of Saint Josemaría’s remarks about the Holy Patriarch in several get-togethers in Latin America and Spain, with a transcription in English.

The day of recollection is a time for prayer and reflection on some topics of our spiritual life.

A meditation (guided prayer) on the meaning of our struggle during Lent, when we imitate our Lord's forty days of prayer and fasting in the desert.

A meditation by Fr Brian McCarthy for Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent (17 February 2021).

"The dynamic force at work in the apostolate is charity, which is a gift from God, and in a Christian, in a child of God, friendship and charity are one and the same thing."

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer when we look at our lives in God's presence. As we continue to face a global pandemic, this "recollection-at-home" can help us spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God, right where we are.

"If we let ourselves be led by God’s Love, if we stay attentive to his inspirations and take notice of his small suggestions, the apostolate will become a 'way of life' that configures our own identity."

Contemplative prayer develops in us a new way of looking at everything that happens around us, sharing in God’s vision of the world.
