Hello everyone,
In addition to our discussions on vocations to the Priesthood and religious life, I thought it would be wonderful to extend an invitation to those who are members of Opus Dei: vocation as lay members to single life and married life. I am currently discerning a vocation to Opus Dei. Are there any members on the forum who would like to share a vocation story of their decision to join the work, or offer some advice, or information? Feel free to share.

Hi there,
🙂 Yes I did intend for this to be in the vocation section.

Yes, I noticed that the powers that be moved it here!

I have known Opus Dei for about 30 years, and find it to be a source of the very finest formation. Members and non-members alike receive education in the truths of our faith, wonderful spiritual direction and a good healthy dose of common sense. There are people I know who on their own, might tend toward some kind of extremism, but with the benefit of the formation they receive from Opus Dei, they have been prevented from moving into - how shall I say it - nuttiness.

The vocation should fit you like a glove. I heard it described once as giving you wings. It should free you to be the best you can be as a Christian and a professional in your field. If that’s how it feels to you, don’t hesitate - go for it!

Feel free to PM me if you want to ask anything specific.

How would you find out if there was a local Opus Dei presence in your diocese?

Either check with the chancery office of your diocese or go to the Opus Dei website and send them an email with your location. They will respond fairly quickly with the location of the center nearest you.
