Opus Dei (which is Latin for "Work of God") is a group in the Catholic Church founded on 1928 in Spain by St Josemaría Escrivá. It is composed mostly of ordinary students, housewifes, workers, professionals, both married and unmarried. Two percent of its members are priests.
Opus Dei主業會(拉丁文意思是「天主的事業」)，這是天主教的一個團體，由聖施禮華在1928年建立於西班牙，其中的成員，大部分是一般學生、家庭主婦、工人、專業人士，也就是涵蓋了所有獻身於工作的人們，包括：結婚及不結婚的成員，而其中百分之二是神父。
All Catholics believe that there is life after this world. They also believe that if one behaves according to one's conscience and the teachings of Jesus Christ, they will enjoy infinite and eternal happiness afterwards. This is what "heaven" means--unlimited happiness that does not end. Being in heaven is the same as being a saint or being holy. This is what Catholics believe.
所有的天主教徒都相信今生之後，尚有來世，他們也相信如果人們依照良心及耶穌基督的教導而生活，他們將來會享受無限及永恆的喜樂，也就是一般人所謂的「天國」－享受無限制、無止境的喜樂，能夠進入天堂也就是要達到聖人的境界或成為神聖的，這是天主教徒所深信的。
Opus Dei teaches its members and their friends what ordinary people like them can do in order to enjoy that eternal happiness, to become holy. Its basic teaching is that--aside from fulfilling one's spiritual obligations--one must study or work to the best of his ability, and fulfill his obligations to his family and to other people as best as he could. By doing so, he can also get to heaven, he can become holy.
