Opus Dei

This instalment explores the proper autonomy of temporal realities and the Christian value of secularity. Saint Josemaría’s teaching helps us understand that work, civil life, and professional commitments have laws of their own, and that the Christian is called to sanctify them from within, with freedom and personal responsibility.

The Prelate of Opus Dei reflects on some contemporary challenges in this interview with Exaudi.

In Opus Dei, we are preparing to celebrate our 100th year. It's a path of spiritual renewal, reflection and celebration taking place in nearly 70 countries. This is how our path to the centenary begins.

Inspired by Sacred Scripture and the teachings of St. Josemaría, this article reflects on how professional activity and ordinary life can become an authentic place of encounter with God and a concrete path to holiness in the middle of the world.

On the feast of Saint Joseph, the Prelate of Opus Dei encourages the faithful of the Work to prepare themselves spiritually for its centenary, with a grateful look towards the past and a hope-filled one towards the future.

The hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth reveals that our ordinary work and daily activities have a deep divine value. They can be a path for close union with God and responding to his call to holiness, by striving to imitate our Lord's entire life.

During the BeDoCare conferences held in Kenya this October, Fr. Javier del Castillo, Vicar General of Opus Dei, gave a talk in which he invited participants to reflect on the “culture of gift,” rooted in people’s daily “yes,” their generosity, and their spirit of service, across three key areas: family, professional work, and care and social charity.

Now available in audio as well as text. Thanks to Scepter (U.K.) Ltd. and the Fundación Studium, here is a digital version of Letter 4 from The Collected Letters, volume I, in which St. Josemaria wrote about charity in the transmission of the faith.

The third edition of Be Do Care, at Strathmore University (Nairobi, Kenya) brought together leaders from across the continent to explore how education, work, and solidarity can transform Africa, inspired by the Christian vision of the human person.

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.
