Mujeres mexicanas del Opus Dei en otras repúblicas americanas (1951-1956), Mercedes Montero | Mexican women of Opus Dei in other American Republics (1951-1956)
Beginning in 1951 Mexico sent women of Opus Dei to help in the commencement of the apostolic work in the United States, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Argentina, Perú and Guatemala; Furthermore, each year a group traveled to Rome to receive more intense formation in the spirit of the Work. The help of the Mexican women in the process of expansion of Opus Dei in America was invaluable, since it was very difficult to leave Spain for political and diplomatic reasons during the first half of the 1950s.

El Opus Dei en Estados Unidos (1957-1961): la región de Chicago, Federico Requena | Opus Dei in the United States (1957-1961): The Chicago Region
Opus Dei began its apostolic activities in the United States in 1949 but in November 1957 a new chapter in the history of Opus Dei in the United States commenced with the establishment of two distinct circumscriptions: the Chicago region and the Washington region. This article covers the early years of the Chicago region, from the point of view of the male members of Opus Dei, from 1957 to 1961. The timeline, geography, demographics and some institutional dimensions are presented. Special attention is given to the relationship with the American hierarchy. During these four years, Opus Dei grew from approximately sixty-five members in 1957 to two hundred in 1961, in the Chicago region alone. The article also discusses the establishment of two new centers, one in Gary, In. and the other, alongside the University of Notre Dame, which were added to those already existing in Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee and St. Louis. And finally, the article outlines the first steps that would lead to the launch of the Shellbourne Conference Center in 1962.

Resúmenes de los primeros círculos de la obra de san Rafael (enero – mayo 1933), José Luis González Gullón | Summaries of the First Circles of the Work of St. Raphael (January – May 1933)
In January 1933, Josemaría Escrivá began a formation program aimed at young people. A series of weekly classes was the principal instrument of formation, which, based on a pre-established plan, explored various core aspects of the Christian life. These classes extended over five months, lasting until the commencement of the summer vacation, and were resumed the following academic year. The annotated transcript of the summaries of these classes helps us to understand how Escrivá transmitted to the students of the 1930s the message of holiness in the midst of the world characteristic of Opus Dei.
