Opus Dei

The Way of the Cross is an old Christian devotion of walking Jesus' path to Calvary with Him, reflecting on 14 parts (or stations) of the journey.

Holy Week is a path toward the Paschal Triduum, a three-day celebration of the mystery of Jesus' Death and Resurrection in order to save us. That means special Masses and services, full of new words, symbols, and meanings.

St. Josemaria's writings are full of advice about conversion and getting closer to God, which is what the season of Lent is all about. Here are a few selections from his writings in text and downloadable as wallpapers.

At Caesarea, Peter did not understand that following Jesus entails self-giving and sacrifice. On Mount Tabor, however, he began to grasp that Christ’s glory passes through suffering and that the cross is not the end, but the passage to the resurrection.

Lent is a season of conversion... so how can we walk this 40-day path to Easter authentically and intentionally?

The Catholic prayer app Hallow launches its Lent challenge on Wednesday. This year, it is inspired by the founder of Opus Dei's “The Way.” The global challenge will be guided by well-known figures from around the world.

The Holy Father shares what it means to journey together in hope this Lent. “All of us are pilgrims in this life; each of us is invited to stop and ask how our lives reflect this fact. Am I really on a journey, or am I standing still, not moving, either immobilized by fear and hopelessness or reluctant to move out of my comfort zone?”

Seven recorded meditations to help us gaze upon the glory of God and realize that his kindness is a greater joy than life itself.

Jesus’ life was not free from difficulties. Before beginning his public ministry, he spent forty days of fasting and penance in the desert, where he suffered the temptations of the devil. That experience can show us a way to see difficulties as opportunities to mature in our Christian vocation.
