Opus Dei , the Work of God, was founded by St. Josemaria on October 2nd, 1928.   The universal call to holiness, clearly expressed in the New Testament and tirelessly preached by St. Josemaria, was first experienced by him personally as a young man.  This loving call is eternal and intimately connected to our identity and mission in life.  By responding to this call we turn the "ordinary prose" of our everyday life into "heroic verse."   Our work and life thus becomes a true "Work of God."https://comeawaybyyourselves.com
