Opus Dei

Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for the 56th World Day of Social Communications on 29 May 2022.

We share some reflections from Fr. Carlos Núñez, Vicar of the Delegation of Monterrey, Mexico, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Ciudad de los Niños (City of the Children), a social initiative that, with its work of education and formation, has helped many families with limited financial means find happiness.

The Prelate of Opus Dei encourages us "to feel as very much our own all the joys and sorrows in the world," and to have recourse to the intercession of our Lady, especially during this month of May.

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Opus Dei in England, we are publishing a series of lives transformed by faith in Jesus Christ. Julia, a supernumary of Opus Dei, was born in France, discovered God in Ireland, met St. Josemaría in Mexico, and now lives in London.

Saint Josemaría understood professional prestige not as a personal achievement but as an opportunity to serve all men and women better.

Next Thursday, 26 May 2022, the 2nd day of reflection on lay holiness will be held in Rome. Entitled "Sanctity, Marriage, Family," it will take place just one month before the end of the “Amoris Laetitia” Year of the Family. The Prelate of Opus Dei will give the closing address.

On Saturday, May 21st, twenty-four faithful of the Prelature of Opus Dei will receive priestly ordination in Rome. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. (Rome time) and will be broadcast live on this website.

A sudden inspiration led Thais and Sonsoles on an adventure that took them to Poland and back to rescue refugees from Ukraine.

In his 18 May general audience, Pope Francis continued his catechesis on the elderly, speaking about the Book of Job.

Saint Josemaria was beatified on 17 May 1992. Here is the homily given by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at the Mass of Thanksgiving for the Beatification of Josemaría Escrivá on 19 May 1992, in the Basilica of the Holy Apostles in Rome.
