The Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, will be the principal celebrant at a Mass on 8 October to mark the 80th anniversary of Opus Dei, and the 50th of St Josemaría's stay in Britain.

Humility is one of the foundation stones of authentic Christian life, because it is the "dwelling place of charity." We offer some reflections on this key Christian virtue.

Saint Josemaría, the founder of Opus Dei, went on pilgrimage to the church of Our Lady of Willesden, West London, on 15th August 1958, and performed the consecration of Opus Dei to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

St. Josemaria visited Britain for the first time on 4th August 1958, fifty years ago. Mgr Richard Stork, who was then director of one of two centres of Opus Dei in England, remembers...

A small child’s sickness and pain are very difficult to understand. But Antek, a five year old Polish boy, discovered their meaning.

The Diocese of Rome has finsihed collecting testimony from those who knew Alvaro del Portillo. This documentation will now be sent to the Vatican. We offer a video summary of the official act that closed this stage of the process.

The particular challenge facing Christians is discovering how to present Jesus Christ to people today. This theme is taken up by Dr. Luis Clavell, professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.
