A webstory of the year in review, with the top videos, audios, articles, and events on opusdei.org in 2024.

Address given by Msgr. Mariano Fazio, auxiliary vicar of Opus Dei, during the second edition of Be Do Care, in Sao Paolo (Brazil), on 10 October 2024.

"Romana," the official bulletin of the Prelature of Opus Dei, is now available online in English for the first 6 months of 2024.

We set out for Nyeri on a Thursday afternoon. The first group departed at 3:00 pm because the van they were using needed to be driven back to Nairobi later that day. The second group, of which I was part, set off an hour later. Our journey was awesome. We recited the Rosary and did our prayer along the way.

On Saturday, 23 November twenty faithful of Opus Dei from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines, Spain, and the United States were ordained to the diaconate. The ceremony took place at the Basilica of St. Eugene in Rome, with Bishop Hugo Nicolás Barbaro, of San Roque de Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña (Argentina), presiding as the ordaining bishop.

The historian Inmaculada Alva shares her insight into the life of Spanish scientist Piedad de la Cierva, a pioneer of the 20th century. Through her research, Alva highlights De la Cierva’s remarkable contributions to science and her determination to forge a path in a predominantly male environment.

In this episode, historian Francisca Colomer shares Ramona Sanjurjo's life story. Ramona was one of the first supernumeraries of Opus Dei, born on 20 January 1916, in Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain). Colomer shares some highlights from the life of this dynamic and generous woman, whose enthusiasm and selflessness made her a notable figure in early 20th-century Vigo.

Since 2015, the year I met Domitila Ayot, we have developed a way of working that is hard to explain. Our ages, races, languages, opportunities and histories are very different. However, we share the same vocation of service for these women and their children.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way, from 2 October 2024 to 2 October 2025.

The Bible tells us that there are millions upon millions of angels, and that some are faithful to God while others have rebelled.
