In this episode, Lila sits down with Fr. Luke Mata to explore the spiritual principles of Opus Dei, which literally translates to "The Work." Unlike many religious groups which encourage people to leave society in order to become sanctified, Opus Dei Founder St. Josemaria Escriva taught that one can become holy through the business of everyday life, not in spite of it.
Fr. Luke also shares how his deep faith—and his mother’s example of holiness in the midst of suffering—shaped his spiritual journey, guiding him to a vocation in the priesthood where he would ultimately serve as Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.
Fr. Luke has a PhD in Moral Philosophy and served in two papal synods. He also is a former Vicar of Opus Dei for the West. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about vocation, leadership, and living out your faith in the modern world.
