Definición

  • Opus Dei (or “Work of God”) is a contractual association within the Roman Catholic Church dedicated primarily to the spiritual formation of laypersons who feel called to sanctify the secular world through their everyday occupations. Founded by the Spanish priest Josemaría Escrivá in response to a vision in 1928, the association has grown to more than 80,000 members world-wide. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Opus Dei]
