Opus Dei

On 19 March 1944, the soon-to-be blessed Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri asked to join Opus Dei. We offer a translation of the letter she wrote to Saint Josemaria Escriva on this day.

A brief summary of four articles on the meaning of Christian mortification.

The vocation to Opus Dei is a call to "interpret" personally a musical score, to play a divine music that has as many interpretations as persons.

My back pain became so intense that I could barely even move. And one day, it all changed...

Message of Pope Francis for the 2019 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, on May 12. Through the call He addresses to each person, our Lord "opens before our eyes the horizon of a greater sea and an abundant catch."

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz made a pastoral visit to the island of Puerto Rico from January 31st to February 3rd. This video offers a summary of the trip.

The Prelate stresses the need to "sentire cum Ecclesia," "to live fully in harmony with the Church," which is the People of God and the Body of Christ.

"We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by being witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves."

Guadalupe's second "formula" for holiness is about facing life's difficulties in a way that leads to being closer to God.

Sacred Scripture should take on ever greater importance as we advance along our Christian path, to the point that “we ‘breathe’ with the Gospel, with the Word of God.”
