"Each day be conscious of your duty to be a saint. A saint! And that doesn't mean doing strange things. It means a daily struggle in the interior life and in heroically fulfilling your duty right through to the end.”
(Saint Josemaría)
On the occasion of the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene next week, the Prelate of Opus Dei invites us to welcome with renewed enthusiasm Christ's call to conversion.
The Prelate of Opus Dei encourages us to help prepare for the centenary of the Work, which will take place from the 2nd of October 2028 to the 14th of February 2030.
The Prelate of Opus Dei invites us to live the season of Easter with the joy of knowing that Christ has risen, while recalling all the other reasons for joy that God has given us.
At the beginning of the Year of the Family and on the solemnity of Saint Joseph, Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz invites us to put special care into looking after our own home and to do all we can to assist other families and people in need.
On the solemnity of Christ the King, Monsignor Ocáriz invites us to reflect on some words of Saint Josemaria in order to let Christ reign more fully in us.
This 15th of September will mark 45 years since the election of Blessed Alvaro as Saint Josemaria’s first successor. Monsignor Ocáriz encourages us to see him as an example of fidelity to the spirit of Opus Dei.
Faith helps us to discover the good present in every situation, also when they are painful. As Monsignor Ocáriz reminds us, with words of Saint Paul, "in everything God works for good with those who love him.”
Faced with the experience of our own vulnerability, Monsignor Ocáriz reminds us that Christ chose his disciples knowing very well their weaknesses and past mistakes, but also knowing that they would have the strength of the Holy Spirit to assist them.
On the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Monsignor Ocáriz invites us to ask our Lord for a heart like His, so that we can bring peace to those around us.
