Opus Dei

The Novena for the Family, with many quotes from Saint Josemaria's writings, seeks to help people grasp the greatness of Christian marriage and to sanctify family life, imitating the Holy Family.

The Novena for the Sick, with many quotes from Saint Josemaria's writings, helps people to accept suffering with a Christian spirit, uniting it to Christ's passion and death, and asks God for a cure if such be his will.

The Holy Mass is a true sacrifice because it makes present, in the “today” of the Church’s liturgical celebration, the unique sacrifice of our redemption carried out on the Cross.

The liturgy is an “action of God” that unites us to Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit (cf. "Sacramentum Caritatis," no. 37).

Christ died for our sins, to free us from them and redeem us from the slavery that sin introduced into mankind’s life.

Can we know that God exists by reason alone? What are some of the main pathways for reaching God's existence. Can conscience and human freedom be paths to a personal God who loves us? These are some of the questions discussed in this summary of Catholic teaching.

“God himself is the author of marriage.” The intimate conjugal union between a man and a woman is sacred, and is structured according to laws established by the Creator and independent of human choice.

God wished to manifest himself as a personal Being through the history of salvation. He raised up and guided a people to be the custodian of his revealed word. Through that people he prepared the world for the Incarnation of his Word, Jesus Christ.

The virtue of faith is a supernatural virtue that enables us to assent firmly to all that God has revealed.

The God we come to know through faith and reason is "spiritual, transcendent, omnipotent, eternal, personal, and perfect. He is truth and love."
