Opus Dei

Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri, one of the first women of Opus Dei, who was beatified on 18 May 2019 in Madrid. This multimedia report was created just before her beatification.

An extensive biography of the life of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri, the result of two years of research by Mercedes Equibar Galarza, is now available in English.

Guadalupe's third "formula" for holiness is about building the base of one's spiritual life around the Eucharist, praying to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

“An hour of study, for a modern apostle, is an hour of prayer” ("The Way," 335). Blessed Guadalupe took this advice from Saint Josemaria to heart. She is now in Heaven, thanks to sanctifying her ordinary life, including her studies and professional work.

For Saint Josemaria’s feast day on June 26th, Italian priest Fr. Andrea Mardegan offers reflections on the spiritual fatherhood of the Founder of Opus Dei, and the meaning of the phrase “every soul has his or her own path.”

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei, preached this homily in the Basilica of Saint Eugene at the Mass of Thanksgiving for the Beatification of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri.

Christians have always had recourse to the intercession of saints: their example shows us that it is possible to grow in holiness, and their prayer before God can be especially helpful in times of need.
