"Your work must become a personal prayer, must become a real conversation with Our Father in heaven.”(Saint Josemaría)
The Trium Puerorum is a hymn of praise to God that the Church recommends praying after Holy Mass. The whole of nature is invited to join in this song, which was first sung by three young Jewish men in the Old Testament.
"The dynamic force at work in the apostolate is charity, which is a gift from God, and in a Christian, in a child of God, friendship and charity are one and the same thing."
"The more we try to live our struggle as a 'struggle to love,' the more we will want this love, this struggle to grow."
"If we let ourselves be led by God’s Love, if we stay attentive to his inspirations and take notice of his small suggestions, the apostolate will become a 'way of life' that configures our own identity."
Contemplative prayer develops in us a new way of looking at everything that happens around us, sharing in God’s vision of the world.
Saint Josemaria found in the words and actions of the Church's liturgy an abundant source for personal prayer.
In the discreet silence of the Sacraments, Jesus waits for us to freely open our heart to Him.
“Jesus doesn’t want our prayer to be an isolated element in the midst of our other activities, with little power to transform our lives.”
On the 2nd of October, the day on which in 1928 Saint Josemaria first "saw" Opus Dei, God continues inviting us to share in his dreams as we look towards the future.
"God wants us to enjoy our mission as an apostle, to savor it, to savor Christ’s love for souls."
Saint Josemaría spoke about the quid divinum, the “divine element" that we can discover around us and in everything we do. Then a new dimension opens up in which we share every corner of our life with God.
