Opus Dei

Priests receive from God the power to forgive sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Christ instituted the sacrament of Penance to offer us a new possibility of converting and recovering, after Baptism, the grace of justification

Faith in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist has led the Church to offer adoration to the Blessed Sacrament, both during and outside the liturgy of the Mass.

The Holy Mass is a true sacrifice because it makes present, in the “today” of the Church’s liturgical celebration, the unique sacrifice of our redemption carried out on the Cross.

The Eucharist is the memorial of Christ’s Paschal mystery, making present his unique sacrifice in the liturgy of the Church.

Baptism “justifies” us in God’s sight, while Confirmation brings us the supernatural gifts of Christian maturity.

The liturgy is an “action of God” that unites us to Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit (cf. "Sacramentum Caritatis," no. 37).

By this truth we affirm the immortality to which mankind is destined; it is thus a reminder of the dignity of the human person, and in particular of the body.

The salvation achieved by Christ, and hence the mission of the Church, is directed to the human person in his or her integral being.

The Church continues to make Christ present in human history. In the history of the Church, we find the divine and the human closely intertwined.
