Opus Dei today

Fr. Joseph Muzquiz “Putting Down Roots

“Putting Down Roots” is the exciting story of the beginnings of Opus Dei in the U.S. It tells how Fr. Joseph Muzquiz came to America in 1949 to begin Opus Dei with very little money and only a rudimentary command of the language. At the time, only a handful of Americans had ever heard of Opus Dei. But by the time he passed away in 1983, Opus Dei had put down deep roots in the U.S.

Today, many people in the United States and in other countries pray to Fr. Joseph, as he was called in this country, and hope that one day the Church will declare him a saint. (The image of his Prayer Card above is taken from the St Josemaria iPhone App: Opus Dei –> Prayer Cards.)
