Opus Dei

The Archive of Opus Dei was first set up between 1953 and 1956. In 2010 the documentation was catalogued. In December 2017 it was officially erected. It is currently in an advanced stage of organisation and classification, and is scheduled to open to the public between 2028 and 2030.

17 May 2024 is the anniversary of the Beatification of Josemaría Escrivá (1992)

The 12th of this month, the second Sunday of May, we'll be celebrating mothers on that annual celebration of Mothers' Day. Let’s look at the way Jesus praised his mother.

Many years ago, I heard someone pray this prayer: “O Jesus, remove the unclean scab of sensual corruption that covers my heart, so that I can feel and readily follow the breath of the Paraclete in my soul.” These words can help us understand how God wants us to celebrate the feast of Pentecost that this year falls on Sunday 19th May.

In the last quarter of 2023, we received news of a social media project run by Dr. Jotham Njoroge (artist and philosopher) to illustrate the spiritual classic of St. Josemaría, "The Way". We caught up with him to get some details on this intriguing project.

Opus Dei was consecrated by its founder on four occasions: to the Holy Family (1951), to the Most Sweet Heart of Mary (1951), to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (1952), and to the Holy Spirit (1971).

Rosalía López was born on 5 February 1925, in Busnela (Burgos, Spain). She moved to Rome in 1946 to collaborate with St. Josemaría at the outset of Opus Dei. She did so through her work in the administration of the early centres of the Work. Her mortal remains now rest in the crypt of the prelatic church, Our Lady of Peace.

On certain dates related to the history of the Work and its patrons, members of Opus Dei, their families, and Catholic cooperators can gain plenary and partial indulgences. In this article, we explain how and when.

Number 76 of “Romana,” the bulletin of the Prelature of Opus Dei, is now available online in English with news about the first half of 2023.

In an article in BusinessDay, the Prelate of Opus Dei speaks at the launch of ‘Youth’ which was live-streamed on YouTube on Monday, January 14, 2024.
