Opus Dei

From 22 to 27 August, Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz was in Uruguay, meeting with families, young people, and those involved in educational and social initiatives. We are publishing this video summary of his visit on 20 October, the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the first members of Opus Dei in the country.

Twenty-five years after it opened its doors, Whitesands School Lekki has placed its boys under the mantle of Our Lady with the blessing of a new Marian grotto by the Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins.

Javier Cotelo (Madrid, 1932) passed away in Rome in the early hours of 10 October 2026, at the age of 94. A numerary of Opus Dei, he knew St. Josemaría closely, accompanying him as his driver and working for many years as an architect. He was a simple, good-humoured man with great affection for others. His remains rest in the crypt of the prelatic church of Our Lady of Peace.

During a university exchange program, Amanda went through a crisis of faith. An unexpected encounter with Opus Dei helped her rediscover God in everyday life, changing the way she studied, worked, loved, and built a family.

On the eighth centenary of St. Francis of Assisi's death, Friar Francesco Ielpo, Custos of the Holy Land, looks at what the St. Francis' poverty and St. Josemaría's teaching on detachment have in common.

There are wounds that often remain invisible and are lived in the deepest solitude. Those experiencing a mental illness usually face, in addition to their own suffering, the weight of stigma and the indifference of those who look the other way. Faced with this reality, the Church is called to be an open home, a community that listens without judging and that accompanies.

A new website to help you prepare for the centenary of Opus Dei, bringing together everything related to the celebration in one place: core materials, resources for your spiritual life, stories from around the world, and updates on what's being planned in your own country.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2027.

Across four episodes, more than forty people from ten countries open up about how experiencing God's love in daily life has helped them find strength in their own fragility. It's a journey from Brazil to South Korea that takes us into true stories full of challenges, yes, but also of faith and hope.
