Opus Dei

Why are we here? Science can tell us a great deal about how the universe works, but to understand why it exists in the first place, we need philosophy and theology. In the first few pages of Genesis, we discover not just where we came from, but who made us and what we’re made for.

A recollection is a “mini-retreat,” a few hours of quiet prayer when we look at our lives in God's presence. This guide can help us spend an hour or two in loving conversation with God.

At 54, Fernando cares for his father, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, while working for the Post Office, after years working as a chauffeur for high society. Between kilometres of cycling, the pages of his books and his daily rounds, Fernando has come to realise that the most urgent and valuable delivery a person can make will never fit into any envelope: it’s time spent caring for others.

A recollection is time spent in silence with God, talking to Him and “recollecting” who we are before Him. This is a package of resources for a recollection in your own home.

This instalment explores the proper autonomy of temporal realities and the Christian value of secularity. Saint Josemaría’s teaching helps us understand that work, civil life, and professional commitments have laws of their own, and that the Christian is called to sanctify them from within, with freedom and personal responsibility.

Jesus’ example shows us how to stay firm in the truth and open to the people in front of us at the exact same time.
