Opus Dei

The African Church, particularly in Kenya, remembers Pope Francis and honors the memory of his first visit to Africa and his message to the Church there.

This page contains a selection of texts about the upcoming Ordinary General Congress of Opus Dei, which will be held in Rome from April 23 to May 5.

Long before arriving in Jerusalem to celebrate his final Passover, Jesus told the apostles, “The Son of Man will be handed over to the pagans. They will put him to death, and on the third day he will rise again.” It happened exactly as Jesus said it would happen.

We offer some questions and answers prepared by the Opus Dei Information Office about the 10th Ordinary General Congress, which will take place from April 23 to May 5, 2025.

How great is Jesus Christ? St Matthew records the words Christ once told the crowds of people who came to see him (12:41): “On Judgement Day the men of Nineveh will appear against this generation and they will be its condemnation, because when Jonah preached they repented; and look, there is something greater than Jonah here.

“As the eyes of a maid watch the hands of her mistress, even so our eyes look upon the Lord our God until he have mercy on us. Have pity on us, O Lord!” With such words, the Book of Psalms speaks about trusting in God’s mercy. No matter how harshly we may have been denounced for guilty deeds, no matter how shameful the deeds were, no matter how low we has fallen, we should never despair.
