Opus Dei

A priest suddenly found himself unable to see out of one eye. Amidst his medical team's uncertainty, he began to entrust himself to Blessed Álvaro. Very soon after, a WhatsApp prayer chain had many people praying for his healing with great faith.

In his 24 September general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about Holy Saturday.

From 1 to 3 October, Strathmore University in Nairobi (Kenya) will gather changemakers from around the world for inspiring conversations on purposeful living, bold action, and radical compassion. We spoke with Martha Ogonjo, a member of the BeDoCare 2025 Organizing Committee, about the event.

Beginning with the evolution of work throughout history, this article offers reflections on its dignity and importance in human life. Inspired by St. Josemaría’s teachings, it presents work as a place of encounter with God and a means of sanctification.

The Prelate of Opus Dei invites us to reflect on formation as a path for identification with Christ.

Mark first encountered Opus Dei in the 1990s but hesitated to say yes to God for decades, convinced he wasn’t ready. A retreat finally helped him realise that God does not call the perfect but helps the called to grow in holiness. Today, as a husband, father, and portfolio manager, he finds joy in prayer, strength in his work, and more presence with his family and those around him.

Fr Robert Farrell was the first Scottish numerary of Opus Dei. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1978.

A retreat is a days-long break to spend time with God in silence and prayer. It's a privileged opportunity to grow in love for God, to come to know ourselves better, and to know Him more deeply. It is a time to renew our faith, welcome the Holy Spirit's light, and calmly and thoughtfully explore the areas in which we can move forward in our Christian life.

In his 17 September general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about Holy Saturday.

Father Joseph was one of the first three priests of Opus Dei and led its early apostolic efforts in the United States. His cause of canonization is open in the Archdiocese of Boston.
