Freedom, to respond to the divine call

No one is more concerned than we are to see that the only people who come to Opus Dei are those who truly have this specific divine vocation, and who want to give themselves and persevere in full freedom; for that is the best guarantee that, with the help of God’s grace, they will be effective.

The Work and other vocations

At the same time, you well know that it is very much part of our spirit to rejoice when we see that many vocations arise for seminaries and religious orders. Moreover, we thank God that not a few of these vocations arise as the fruit of the spiritual and doctrinal formation which we give young people. By enkindling the atmosphere around us with a Christian spirit, by making it more supernatural and more apostolic, we naturally stimulate a greater number of vocations for all the institutions in the Church.
