Dream Big: On the Founding of Opus Dei

ST. JOSEMARIA INSTITUTE
About this episode

In this meditation, Fr. Leo Austin helps us pray with the founding vision of Opus Dei and what it means for our own vocation today. Inspired by a common aspiration of St. Josemaría, “Domine, ut videam” (“Lord, that I may see”), we are reminded that God calls us not only to pray for but to transform every corner of the world with Christ’s love. 

Listen now to reflect on: 

  • The founding moment of Opus Dei as a “revolution of love” 
  • The Gospel of Zacchaeus as a story of vocation and freedom 
  • The hidden life of Jesus as the foundation of the spirit of Opus Dei 
  • The meaning of vocation as God’s call and our personal dream with him
