PODCAST | Saint Josemaria & Saint Pius X
In this meditation, Msgr. Fred Dolan brings us into the story of the friendship between St. Josemaria and the pope of his youth, Pope St. Pius X. St. Josemaria entrusted the work of Opus Dei to the care and intercession of this saintly Pope, placing great confidence in the power of heavenly help. Through their example, Msgr. Dolan invites us to deepen our own love for the saints, grow in affection for the Holy Father, and make generous resolutions to live the Communion of Saints with greater faith and trust in prayer.
PAUSE AND REFLECT
- Renew your love for the Eucharist. What resolutions inspire you by the witness of St. Josemaria and Pope St. Pius X?
- Grow in love for the Pope. How can I grow in love and intercession for the current Holy Father, and those who will occupy the Chair of St. Peter?
- Respond to misunderstanding with prayer, not polemics. How can I turn to the Lord and bring Him my feelings of being misunderstood before bringing them to anyone else?
- Turn to the saints as friends. How does St. Josemaria’s confidence in heavenly intercession inspire me to deepen my own prayer and reliance on the saints?
