Paul, First Epistle to the Thesslaonians, 5:2 and 5:6 ( link ) “ For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night (‘ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini sicut fur in nocte ita veniet ‘)… Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober (‘igitur non dormiamus sicut ceteri sed vigilemus et sobrii simus ‘). That is, the “work of God (“opus Dei”), is the sanctification, the making holy, of the world ( link ) “- Definition of the “work of God” (“opus Dei”) as the daily prayer of the Church, “sanctifying the day” with prayer.
“ The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office or the Work of God (Opus Dei), is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer. The Hours are a meditative dialogue on the mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. This article #4 of the Pope’s letter says the Prelate who leads Opus Dei shall in the future never be a bishop- “shall not be honoured with the episcopal order.” Many commentators have commented on the possible reason for this decision of Pope Francis: why will the head of the Prelature of Opus Dei in the future never be a bishop? As yet, no one has given an explanation which fully explains why this decision, and why it was taken at this time “ Therefore, the Prelate shall not be honoured with the episcopal order.” -Article #4 of the recent (dated July 14, two weeks ago, but released July 22, five days ago)) letter from Pope Francis entitled “Ad charisma tuendum”.
