Opus Dei

A philological edition prepared by Fidel Sebastián, with a foreword by the prelate of Opus Dei and brief annotations that seek to bring its history and context closer to all audiences, to commemorate the book’s 100th edition in Spain.

Some advice from Saint Josemaria on getting the most out of the school year.

The consecration of Opus Dei to the Most Sweet Heart of Mary took place on 15 August 1951. St. Josemaría carried it out in the Shrine of Loreto, where the Holy House is venerated, speaking spontaneously during Mass. Later, he composed a written formula and asked that it be renewed each year on 15 August. Months earlier, he had invited the members of Opus Dei to pray the aspiration, “Cor Mariæ dulcissimum, iter para tutum!” (Most sweet Heart of Mary, prepare for us a safe way!).

In this video, St. Josemaría explains the deepest reason for faith.
