Opus Dei

Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for the 56th World Day of Social Communications on 29 May 2022.

On Tuesday, 31 May, at 6pm (Rome time), the Pope will pray the Rosary before the statue of Mary Regina Pacis in Rome's Marian Basilica, for peace in Ukraine.

On Wednesday 25 May, a meeting entitled “African Renaissance: Fact or Fiction?” was held, promoted by Harambee Africa International and the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross on the occasion of the Africa Day 2022.

On retiring, Joy and Tony Tañada found in farming, farm management, and rural living a world of beauty, simplicity, and productivity.

We share some reflections from Fr. Carlos Núñez, Vicar of the Delegation of Monterrey, Mexico, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Ciudad de los Niños (City of the Children), a social initiative that, with its work of education and formation, has helped many families with limited financial means find happiness.

The Prelate of Opus Dei encourages us "to feel as very much our own all the joys and sorrows in the world," and to have recourse to the intercession of our Lady, especially during this month of May.

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Opus Dei in England, we are publishing a series of lives transformed by faith in Jesus Christ. Julia, a supernumary of Opus Dei, was born in France, discovered God in Ireland, met St. Josemaría in Mexico, and now lives in London.

Saint Josemaría understood professional prestige not as a personal achievement but as an opportunity to serve all men and women better.

Next Thursday, 26 May 2022, the 2nd day of reflection on lay holiness will be held in Rome. Entitled "Sanctity, Marriage, Family," it will take place just one month before the end of the “Amoris Laetitia” Year of the Family. The Prelate of Opus Dei will give the closing address.

Bishop Ricardo García, the consecrating bishop, told the twenty-four new priests of Opus Dei that “your lives, starting today, will be marked by the ministry of the sacraments, the ministry of the word and the ministry of charity.”
