Opus Dei

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. Since then, the consecration has been renewed every year in Opus Dei centres.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2027.

From 22 to 27 August, Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz was in Uruguay, meeting with families, young people, and those involved in educational and social initiatives. We are publishing this video summary of his visit on 20 October, the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the first members of Opus Dei in the country.

Msgr. Mariano Fazio explores St. Josemaría's vision for business schools: institutions called to unite professional excellence, the Church's social doctrine, and the sanctification of work, with the human person at the centre and a deep spirit of service.

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.

After nearly two years of planning, a life-sized statue of St. Josemaría sculpted by Diana García Roy now welcomes visitors to St. Joseph's Church in Singapore.
