Opus Dei

In his 8 October general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about the Resurrection.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way, from 2 October 2025 to 2 October 2026.

The month of October is traditionally dedicated to the rosary, with the feast of our Lady of the Rosary on 7 October. An infographic detailing the meaning and origin of this prayer, and short guide on how to pray it.

On 2 October 1928, St. Josemaría Escrivá saw what God was asking of him: to remind women and men that holiness is possible in the middle of ordinary life. That message continues to “light up the pathways of the earth” nearly a century later.

The third edition of Be Do Care, at Strathmore University (Nairobi, Kenya) brought together leaders from across the continent to explore how education, work, and solidarity can transform Africa, inspired by the Christian vision of the human person.

We share a class given by Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz in Rome in November 2024, in which he reflects on the virtue of hope on the occasion of the Jubilee Year.

The Prelate of Opus Dei invites us to reflect on formation as a path for identification with Christ.

Father Joseph was one of the first three priests of Opus Dei and led its early apostolic efforts in the United States. His cause of canonization is open in the Archdiocese of Boston.

Mark first encountered Opus Dei in the 1990s but hesitated to say yes to God for decades, convinced he wasn’t ready. A retreat finally helped him realise that God does not call the perfect but helps the called to grow in holiness. Today, as a husband, father, and portfolio manager, he finds joy in prayer, strength in his work, and more presence with his family and those around him.

On the Jubilee of Consolation (15 September), Chizoba shares how she and her family learned to see God’s care for them when they lost their home to fire shortly after migrating to Canada.

A retreat is a days-long break to spend time with God in silence and prayer. It's a privileged opportunity to grow in love for God, to come to know ourselves better, and to know Him more deeply. It is a time to renew our faith, welcome the Holy Spirit's light, and calmly and thoughtfully explore the areas in which we can move forward in our Christian life.

This Sunday, we celebrate Pope Leo XIV's birthday, a chance to get to know him better and pray for him more. Here are some highlights from his first four months as Roman Pontiff and the trailer for “Leo from Chicago,” an upcoming Vatican Media documentary about his early life.
