Opus Dei

In 2008, my family started what is today a much-anticipated year-end tradition: a Christmas Holiday Cook-Off!

Some homilies, articles, videos and carols that can help us draw close to the Infant Jesus at Christmas time with the childlike piety of Saint Josemaria.

Saint John Paul II erected Opus Dei as a personal prelature on November 28, 1982. Here is an address he gave at a workshop on the Apostolic Letter “Novo Millennio Ineunte,” on March 17, 2001, in which he outlines his hopes for the Prelature.

During this Year of the Family in the Church, which ends on June 26, 2022, this novena can help people grasp the greatness of the vocation to seek holiness in Christian marriage and family life, imitating the Holy Family.
