...Spend a few minutes with an Opus Dei member, however, and you quickly realize that behind the casual exterior they are rigidly orthodox, and worship is an omnipresent feature of their lives. Walk through the facility and watch what happens when an Opus Dei member passes through a chapel. He stops and genuflects in the direction of the tabernacle (which is believed to carry the blessed sacrament) before going on his way. Prayers are frequently conducted in Latin. There seems to be very little slack in days that are filled with meditation, prayer, confession and work. Opus Dei members speak...
...around them. For Anglada, who is assistant director of the residence, his day began at 5:35 a.m. when he climbed out of bed, dressed and prayed for 30 minutes in his chamber. This prayer is known as the morning offering. Next he attended a mass in the chapel connected to the residence. After that he spent about 10 minutes reading (usually something by Aquinas or Augustine). By that time it was nearly 7:45 and he joined some of his fellow numeraries for breakfast in the downstairs kitchen. Then it was back upstairs to the living room - a large...

Longlea, the group's Washington-area mansion, was donated by a couple who had just bought it for $7.4 million. Father Michael Barrett, an Opus Dei priest who pastors a chapel in Houston, recently raised $4.3 million for a new building and says, "I can assure you that cooperators and supernumeraries have given at the $100,000 level." That largesse, credited officially to the Galveston-Houston archdiocese, would not show up even on Allen's scrupulous balance sheet. Nor would similar...
...followed the money, oscillating between patrons (the Medici family, Popes) in Florence and Rome. It's the first time the drawings have been seen together since the breakup of Michelangelo's studio in 1564, the year of his death at 88. Perhaps his most famous work, the vast Sistine Chapel ceiling fresco commissioned by Pope Julius II, was painted between 1508 and 1512. The preliminary sketches reveal Michelangelo's systematic methods. A composition of schematic figures was worked out, then in the studio his models assumed the dramatic attitudes required-poses that must have been hard to sustain...
