Opus Dei

Guadalupe's third "formula" for holiness is about building the base of one's spiritual life around the Eucharist, praying to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

“An hour of study, for a modern apostle, is an hour of prayer” ("The Way," 335). Blessed Guadalupe took this advice from Saint Josemaria to heart. She is now in Heaven, thanks to sanctifying her ordinary life, including her studies and professional work.

In 1961, Fr. Joseph Escribano, then living in Canada, developed a mass between his lungs that showed signs of cancer. People around him prayed for his cure through Isidoro's intercession. When the doctors operated on him to remove that mass and get a more accurate diagnosis, they found no traces of it.

We desperately needed to sell our old house in order to buy a new one. I didn't even know who Guadalupe was, but I randomly discovered her on the Opus Dei website.

We offer a novena, written by Fr Francis Faus, to ask for favors or help through the intercession of Guadalupe.

Here are all the publications (homilies, videos, articles, testimonies, etc.) surrounding the beatification of Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri held in Madrid on May 18th and 19th, 2019.

During the get-together at Vistalegre after Guadalupe Ortiz's beatification, a Nigerian girl asked the Prelate about helping the needy.

Christians have always had recourse to the intercession of saints: their example shows us that it is possible to grow in holiness, and their prayer before God can be especially helpful in times of need.

The Prelate of Opus Dei celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving in Rome for the Beatification of the Spanish chemist, Guadalupe Ortiz de Landázuri (1916-1975): "These days have reminded us once again that holiness, which God's love calls us to, is a real possibility for all men and women."

Ignacio Valdés, the artist who painted the portrait of Blessed Guadalupe Ortiz for the Royal Oratory of Caballero de Gracia in Madrid, talks about the challenges he faced in doing this painting.
