Opus Dei

A meditation (guided prayer) on the birth of our Lord at Christmas.

Knowing that God is always looking at us and living in the present moment can help us grow in simplicity.

After some of my family members brought some prayers cards to us at the convent, I’ve received many favours through Dora's intercession. I’ve asked her for many everyday needs.

Following the publication of Pope Francis’ Motu Proprio Vos estis lux mundi (2019), Opus Dei’s Prelate, Mgr. Fernando Ocariz, issued guidelines for the whole Prelature regarding Safeguarding: Prelature Guidelines for Safeguarding Minors and Vulnerable Persons (2020).

Was Jesus really born on December 25th? Were the Three Kings historical figures? What do we know about what really happened on the first Christmas?

This Safeguarding Policy for the investigation of allegations of abuse of minors or vulnerable adults in the activities of the Prelature of Opus Dei applies to the countries in the Region of North West Europe.

In his 21 December general audience, Pope Francis continued his cycle of catechesis on spiritual discernment, speaking about aids for the exercise of discernment.

Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei, sends a Christmas greeting and invites everyone to foster peace, first of all in the family and at work, and to share the wonder of the closeness of Jesus Christ, God with us.

Xochitl Donis, a pediatrician, teacher and mother of a family in Guatemala, recounts how finding a prayer card of Dr. Ernesto Cofiño at the beginning of her university studies led her to find God in her daily work and life.

Dora was very experienced in cooking and baking and helped me when preparing a birthday cake.
