Opus Dei: DVC

• Secret Catholic organization

• Murderous albino monks

Opus Dei: Truth

• A life of prayer and the pursuit of holiness with frequent spiritual direction and confession.
• Study of the Catholic faith
• Uniting with the sufferings of Christ (involves corporal mortification).
• Growing closer to God through one's ordinary life
  • union with Christ in work and family life
  • evangelization in the world as lay persons.
• Most members are married lay persons; a small number are celibate and live in Opus Dei centers, but maintain professional careers.  An even smaller number are priests chosen from among the celibate members.
