In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the spirit of filial trust he witnessed in Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, shaped in large part by his closeness to St. Josemaría. Through that relationship, Blessed Alvaro learned to see God truly as Father and to entrust everything to him with serenity and faith. 

Fr. Peter encourages us to deepen our own trust in God, learning from the example of the saints to live with greater confidence and interior peace. 

Listen and reflect on: 

  • Lessons from Blessed Álvaro 
  • His unity with St. Josemaría 
  • Living with peace amid uncertainty  
  • Developing a simple and confident prayer life  
  • Imitating the virtues of the saints
