As we commemorate the anniversary of St Josemaría’s death this month, we share three favours obtained through his intercession, all experienced within the family: recovery after a heart attack, a journey to reunite with loved ones, and a pregnancy after several miscarriages.

On the first Sunday after Pentecost, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Here are some resources for growing in devotion to the Trinity.

Shiró is happiest spending time with people: “I need people, and feeling that they need me makes me want to give the best of myself. No man is an island...

She also started a social initiative to help street children. All these experiences confirmed her vocation to Opus Dei as an assistant numerary.

In his 11 June general audience, Pope Leo XIV continued his catechetical cycle on Jesus Christ, our hope, speaking about the healing of Bartimaeus.

The Prelate of Opus Dei invites us to contemplate the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity and announces that the new Statutes have been submitted to the Holy See for approval.

In each circumscription, in addition to the monthly intention from the Prelate, the Regional Vicar proposes another particular intention for that region. Specifically, for the period from 20th April 2025 to 2nd October 2025 (Anniversary of the foundation of the Work), the proposed prayer intention of East and Southern Africa is as follows.

Biomedical scientist Renata Silvestre describes how her vocation is intertwined with her work in advanced cell therapy, battling cancer while living the spirit of Opus Dei in her daily life. In her story, science and faith are both sources of inspiration and reasons for commitment.
