'''The Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei''' (from the [[Latin]] "work of [[God]]") is a [[Catholic]] religious group that believes every member of their church has the potential to become a [[saint]], and must perform God's work to reach such holiness. Opus Dei is a personal prelature of the Catholic Church that helps people seek holiness in their work and ordinary activities. Opus Dei stresses the importance of work and professional competence. It promotes the view that everyone is called to be live a life of holiness as commanded by the [[Holy Bible]], "Be perfect, as your father in heaven is perfect." (Matt 5:48)
