Homily of Monsignor Fernando Ocariz, Chancellor of the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, at the inaugural Mass for the 2021-2022 Academic Year. He highlights the “yearning for unity in the Church” reflected in the texts of the Mass for Pentecost.

A recent book by the Prelate of Opus Dei aims "to help people to pray and invite them to enter into more direct contact with Jesus Christ, who is the light of our lives."

From August 18 to 21, the Prelate of Opus Dei was in the shrine of Torreciudad, where he celebrated a public Mass and met with several groups of faithful. This was the last of his pastoral trips during July and August, after having traveled to Milan, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia.
