My experience has only been one of satisfaction

From Relyas (born November 6, 1984)

My friends,

I would deeply recommend looking into Opus Dei! My experience has only been one of satisfaction. The men and women involved are pious, intellectual, and well formed.

I can't recommend them enough.

He said it

God loves us more than all the mothers of the world love their children -- St. Josemaria
Our Lord's words are words of a person in love: "I have called you by your name. You are mine." God, who is beauty and greatness and wisdom, declares that we are his, that we have been chosen as the object of his infinite love. -- St. Josemaria
St. Josemaria is a precursor of Vatican II in proposing the universal call to holiness. -- Pope Francis
Opus Dei is the surprising union between absolute fidelity to theChurch and unconditional openness to the challenges of this world --Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger
Escriva is a revolutionary priest vaulting over traditional barriers.He proclaimed not just a spirituality for lay people but a layspirituality -- Cardinal Albino Luciani (John Paul I)
Right from the beginning Opus Dei has anticipated the theology of thelay state of the Second Vatican Council and the post-conciliar period.-- John Paul II
[With Escriva's teaching], it is easier to understand what the Second Vatican Council affirmed: 'there is no question, then, of the Christian message inhibiting men from building up the world ... on the contrary it is an incentive to do these very things' (Vatican II, Gaudium et spes, n. 34). -- John Paul II
For me, Opus Dei represented a reintegration of Christian experience, a recovery of ancient unity... I did not know anyone in the Protestant world who spoke with the Gospel freshness I encountered in the lay and clergy members of Opus Dei. -- Scott Hahn, theologian
Escrivá restored the true concept of Christian freedom...After centuries of Christian spiritualities based on the priority of obedience, Escriva taught that obedience was the consequence and fruit of freedom -- Cornelio Fabro, philosopher
Secularists stigmatize Opus Dei because they cannnot tolerate the return to religion of the secularized society -- Massimo Introvigne, sociologist of religion
Whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple -- Jesus (Luke 14:33)!
Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God. -- St. Paul (1 Cor 10:31)
