Opus Dei

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 Church is a communion of saints—the community of all men and women who have received the grace of regeneration from the Spirit, making them children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.

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

“Acting is morally good when the choices of freedom are in conformity with man’s true good and thus express the voluntary ordering of the person towards our ultimate end: God himself.”

The Church continues to make Christ present in human history. In the history of the Church, we find the divine and the human closely intertwined.

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 Eucharist is the memorial of Christ’s Paschal mystery, making present his unique sacrifice in the liturgy of the Church.

Baptism “justifies” us in God’s sight, while Confirmation brings us the supernatural gifts of Christian maturity.

What is a personal prelature?

Opus Dei's work of spiritual formation complements the work of local churches. People who join Opus Dei or attend its activities continue to belong to their local dioceses.
