Opus Dei

"God is not removing you from your environment. He is not taking you away from the world, or from your condition in life, or from your noble human ambitions, or from your professional work ... But he wants you to be a saint - right there!” Saint Josemaría

The Vincentians on Saint Josemaria's Path

Stories from His Life 10/02/2026

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.
