PODCAST | “An Enduring Influence” | The 20th Anniversary of the St. Josemaria Institute
In this meditation marking the 20th anniversary of the St. Josemaría Institute, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the life, spirituality and enduring influence of St. Josemaria Escriva. Fr. Peter explains how St. Josemaria’s vision places the lay faithful at the center of evangelization and reminds us that, “Sanctity is not reserved for a privileged few. All the ways of the earth, every state in life, every profession, every honest task can be divine” (Conversations, no. 26).
Listen to reflect on:
- The lasting fruit of St. Josemaría’s mission
- The universal call to holiness
- The mission of the laity in today’s world
- Evangelization through friendship and daily life
- Confidence in God’s grace at work through ordinary means
- The responsibility that comes with receiving a gift
