Opus Dei is a Catholic institution founded by Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Its mission is to spread the message that work and the circumstances of everyday life are occasions for growing closer to God, for serving others, and for improving society.

Message From José Maria Escriva: The Lord’s calling — vocation — always presents itself like this: “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Yes: a vocation demands self-denial, sacrifice.

But how pleasant that sacrifice turns out to be — Gaudium cum pace, joy and peace — if that self-giving is complete. (Furrow, 8 We apologise for the misleading information to the public.
