On the St. Josemaria Institute Podcast, we share weekly meditations by a priest of Opus Dei that, in the spirit of St. Josemaria Escriva, guide us in our daily life of prayer so that we can grow closer to God and become sowers of peace and joy in the world. The podcast aims to help you set apart time from your daily tasks to listen peacefully, to pray, and to examine your life in the presence of Jesus Christ: to see what is going well, to see what needs to change, to make resolutions, and to begin again. Each meditation is typically under 30 minutes so that you can take advantage of them during your time of prayer, commute, lunch, or any time you want to listen to something good.

“Remarkable meditations; more like retreat conferences, where one would enter into them in a spirit of prayer. One of the wonderful things about them is that I can listen to them again and again, or pause and reflect more deeply on something that has been said. Fr. Peter Armenio and Fr. Javier del Castillo are both excellent at presenting deep topics in an accessible manner. Highly recommended.”
