Schlag encourages us to establish a spiritual plan of life to deepen our prayer and to respond generously to the Father by loving him above all things.  Listen and reflect on:  Growing in friendship with God Loving God with an undivided heart Holiness through daily fidelity Responding to the Father's love Establishing a spiritual plan of life Read the full text of St. Josemaria’s homily, “Getting to Know God”, online here.  View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    Knowing God as Father | Getting to Know God, Part 1

    In this first meditation of our three-part series on St. Josemaria's homily Getting to Know God, Msgr. Fred Dolan invites us to rediscover the foundational truth of the Christian life, that we are beloved children of God. As St. Josemaria reminds us, “We are children of God and we can talk things over with him and spend time with him, just as trustingly as a son does with his father” (Friends of God, no. 145).  Msgr. Dolan invites us to pray with the simplicity of spiritual childhood, entrust our worries to the Father, and rediscover the peace that comes from living as his beloved sons and daughters.  Listen and reflect on:  Becoming like little children before God The Father's faithful love Trust over anxiety Prayer rooted in confidence Remembering who we are in Christ  Read the full text of St. Josemaria’s homily, “Getting to Know God”, online here.  View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    The Sanctification of Human Love

    In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on God's plan for human love and the vocation of marriage as a reflection of Christ's love for his Church. Drawing from Scripture and the example of the Holy Family, we are reminded that authentic love is rooted in self-giving, sustained by grace, and centered on Jesus Christ.   Fr. Peter invites us to renew our commitment to loving others out of love for Christ, to cultivate friendships and family life rooted in prayer, and to seek the spirit of Nazareth in our daily lives.  Listen and reflect on:  God's plan for human love Marriage as a reflection of Christ's love The Holy Family as our model Self-giving and sacrificial love Keeping Christ at the center of every vocation View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    Martyrs of the Ordinary

    In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the witness of the early Christian martyrs, whose courage and fidelity helped spread the faith throughout the world. While most Christians today are not called to shed their blood for Christ, we are all called to be martyrs in the original sense of the word: witnesses who make Jesus Christ present through our lives.     Drawing from the teachings of St. Josemaría Escriva, Fr. Peter invites us to embrace the "martyrdom of the ordinary" through daily self-giving, fidelity in prayer, and love for those around us.    Listen and reflect on:  The witness of the early Christian martyrs The meaning of martyrdom today Daily self-giving and sacrifice Making Christ present through ordinary life Love as the mark of a disciple View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    “What Is It, O Jesus, You Want of Me?”

    In this meditation for the feast of St. Josemaria Escriva, Fr. Donncha Ó hAodha reflects personal freedom as the capacity to love. Drawing upon a simple aspiration St. Josemaria learned as a child— “Yours am I, I was born for thee. What is it, O Jesus, you want of me?”—Fr. Donncha explains how St. Josemaria’s spirituality was shaped by a docility to the Holy Spirit which allowed him to see that ordinary Christians can become saints through their daily work, relationships, and responsibilities.    Through prayer and reflection, we are encouraged to deepen our awareness of our identity as children of God and to discover new ways of loving and serving him in the ordinary circumstances of life.    Listen and reflect on:  Our identity as beloved children of God Holiness in ordinary life The sanctification of work Freedom fulfilled through love Sharing the spirit of St. Josemaría with others View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    The Gift of Interior Peace

    In this meditation, Msgr. Fred Dolan reflects on the anxieties and distractions that often disturb our peace. Through the Gospel account of Jesus calming the storm, we are reminded that true security comes not from controlling our circumstances, but from trusting in Our Lord who remains with us in every trial.   Msgr. Dolan invites us to slow down, focus on what is truly important, and develop habits of prayer and recollection that help us remain calm in the midst of life's challenges.  Listen and reflect on:  Facing anxiety with faith The importance of a Plan of Life Remaining present in daily life Finding peace amid distractions Trusting Christ in difficult moments  View Transcript Visit Show Page THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    The Sacred Heart: An Infinite Treasure of Love (Rebroadcast)

    In preparation for the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the Sacred Heart as an infinite treasure of love and mercy through which we come to know how much we are loved by God. We are invited to bring the truths of the Sacred Heart into our daily life for it is through this devotion which we can find the strength to withstand temptation and bear our cross, find hope amid discouragement, and find courage to evangelize no matter the circumstances.  As we participate in the treasures of Jesus’ heart, we are able to draw upon the grace of Christ and in turn become transmitters of the love of Christ to those hearts that are empty of meaning, of hope, and of consolation.
