Opus Dei

Extract from an interview with Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz published in "Vida Nueva," a year after he was elected Prelate of Opus Dei.

Last December, the Prelate of Opus Dei spent three days in London. This 27-minute video includes some of the things he said to his sons and daughters in Britain, as well as the various apostolic initiatives he was able to visit or hear about.

"Let us give thanks, because all this comes from Him," the Prelate tells us, recalling recent days spent meeting so many people during his trip to Brazil.

Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz has returned to Rome, after two weeks in Brazil during which he had the opportunity to get to know and speak with many people in the Prelature and their friends, in São Paulo and Río de Janeiro.

“In the human realm,” Saint Josemaria said, “I want to leave you as an inheritance love for freedom and good humor.” The Prelate invites us to reflect on the gift of freedom, in this letter dated on the Founder's birthday.

On 23 January 2017, Pope Francis named as Prelate of Opus Dei Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz Braña. We reproduce here a hand-written message from Saint Josemaría's successor, on the anniversary of his appointment.

During a two day visit to the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz took part in an academic act honoring the former chancellor Bishop Javier Echevarría, and had a get-together with over 3,000 people in the University's sports complex.

On the anniversary of Saint Josemaria's birth, the Prelate of Opus Dei celebrated Holy Mass in the Prelatic Church of Our Lady of Peace. We offer a summary of the homily he delivered.
