The full text of this consecration, which Saint Josemaría made for the first time on 26 October 1952, solemnity of Christ the King, in front of an image of the Sacred Heart in the oratory-library of the central headquarters of the Work, in Rome.

Javier Cotelo (Madrid, 1932) passed away in Rome in the early hours of 10 October 2026, at the age of 94. A numerary of Opus Dei, he knew St. Josemaría closely, accompanying him as his driver and working for many years as an architect. He was a simple, good-humoured man with great affection for others. His remains rest in the crypt of the prelatic church of Our Lady of Peace.
