Opus Dei

Leire and her husband Robert planned to build “a bright and cheerful home,” an expression she learned from St. Josemaría. Their two daughters with Down syndrome have helped them to do so.

Mondo TV, an Italian production company, has aired a 70 minute animated film on St. Josemaría's early life. Here is a second short clip (03'01'').

As the new year begins, the Prelate invites us to consider the wonder of our divine filiation, especially as it is described in St. Paul's letters.

Lola Pardo Conde is from Valladolid, Spain. Through her brother, their family met Fr. Josemaria in the 1940s. She became a Supernumerary in 1964.

St Josemaria used to love singing love-songs, to which he gave a new meaning about loving God. Here there are mp3 versions of some of the songs used by St Josemaria for his prayer.

During these days, family members of the faithful of Opus Dei and of priests of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross can gain an indulgence granted by the Holy Father Benedict XVI.

Selections from Benedict XVI’s Christmas homilies and addresses that can nourish our prayer at Christmas

As a young priest, St. Josemaría was especially fond of a small statue of the Infant Jesus. He would hold the Child in his arms, sing and even dance with it. “I’m glad to see you as a small Child,” he would say, “because it makes me feel you need me” (02’ 12”).

The monthly video on the Apostle to the Gentiles focuses on St. Paul's apostolic activity: "Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel" (02'12").

December 10, 2008, marked the sixtieth anniversary of this declaration. We offer some relevant addresses by John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
