Opus Dei

This is the beginning of a series on the arts as spaces for spiritual life. In this first article, we will consider how the Incarnation — the fact that God chose to take on a physical form — reveals the true value of the material world, and, with it, the potential of the arts.

The path to ‘disarmed and disarming’ peace lies in listening, understanding, expressing oneself sincerely, seeking common ground, and avoiding oversimplifications. This is the last editorial in the ‘Combat, closeness, mission’ series.

Worldly logic and divine logic wage a battle in every heart, at every moment. Peace and war are decided with every heartbeat, with every breath.

Inspired by Sacred Scripture and the teachings of St. Josemaría, this article reflects on how professional activity and ordinary life can become an authentic place of encounter with God and a concrete path to holiness in the middle of the world.

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer when we look at our lives in God's presence. This guide can help us spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God, right where we are.

A recollection is time spent in silence with God, talking to Him and “recollecting” who we are before Him. This is a package of resources for a recollection in your own home.

Christian unity is a participation in the unity of love among the Persons of the Blessed Trinity. On earth, this unity of love is realized through affective and effective union with the Roman Pontiff. In Opus Dei, as part of the Church, it is also expressed through filiation with the Prelate.

When we allow God’s wisdom to remain and work with us, our efforts are not simply dedicated to Him: they become God’s own work.
