Opus Dei

Daily meditations are texts meant to feed our mental prayer, inviting us to stop and converse with God each day of the liturgical year.

Among the bishops celebrating Masses for the feast of Saint Josemaria this year are Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, Bishop Michael C. Barber, S.J., of Oakland, Bishop J. Mark Spalding, J.C.L., of Nashville, Bishop David P. Talley of Memphis, and Bishop James V. Johnston of Kansas City-St. Joseph.

Opus Dei Youth is now live on opusdei.org with new content for young people who want to impact society and grow closer to God.

On 25 May, twenty-nine faithful of Opus Dei received priestly ordination from Bishop Paul Toshihiro Sakai, auxiliary bishop of Osaka-Takamatsu (Japan). The ceremony took place in the Basilica of Saint Eugene (Rome).

The Archive of Opus Dei was first set up between 1953 and 1956. In 2010 the documentation was catalogued. In December 2017 it was officially erected. It is currently in an advanced stage of organisation and classification, and is scheduled to open to the public between 2028 and 2030.

Opus Dei will celebrate the centennial of its foundation from 2028 to 2030. To prepare for this anniversary, we offer a document entitled "Path Toward the Centennial." It contains some ideas for the faithful and friends of Opus Dei to reflect on these 100 years and how the charism will continue giving life to the Church and society.

Rosalía López was born on 5 February 1925, in Busnela (Burgos, Spain). She moved to Rome in 1946 to collaborate with St. Josemaría at the outset of Opus Dei. She did so through her work in the administration of the early centres of the Work. Her mortal remains now rest in the crypt of the prelatic church, Our Lady of Peace.

In a decree dated March 19, 2024, the Prelate of Opus Dei has established the new Region of the United States and Canada.

Number 76 of “Romana,” the bulletin of the Prelature of Opus Dei, is now available online in English with news about the first half of 2023.

“Youth” is a new project by and for young people.
