Marcos 2, 1-12: Los amigos del paralítico lo conducen hasta Jesús, superando múltiples obstáculos. Nos dan ejemplo de celo apostólico. Al final, todo consiste en colaborar para que las almas se pongan frente a frente con el Señor. Ser apóstol supone haber tenido la experiencia del cara a cara con Cristo.

Meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Ellerton Centre in Toronto, May 29, 2026. Today is the memorial of Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Battista Montini, a man of courage in a time of upheaval.Gen 12, 1-16: God speaks to Abraham: leave your country, your family, and go to the country I will tell you. So he responded by going to that unknown country. He was open to what God wanted. It took courage and fortitude and magnanimity to undertake such a massive task, to be the father of a nation.We need this human virtue of fortitude, but it must also be supernatural, done out of love. Music: Mulvey Awakening

Fortitude, Resilience, Courage

In this podcast, Fr. Javier del Castillo shares a meditation inspired by the phrase, “an hour of study, for a modern apostle, is an hour of prayer” (St. Josemaria Escriva; The Way, no. 335). Approaching academic learning as a form of prayer is not a way of life designed solely for students. Rather, it is a way of life that all Christians should adopt as it helps us develop a stronger worldview. Fr. Javier discusses how to approach Scripture, the lives of the saints, and the writings of the Church Fathers as a form of prayer. He also explains how to overcome three common obstacles –– lust, curiosity, and falsehood –– that inhibit our desire to study. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Today on the podcast… Fr. Peter Armenio, a priest of Opus Dei, explains the Christian vocation using the example of salt and light. “Our being children of God, I insist, leads us to have a contemplative spirit in the midst of all human activities; to be light, salt and leaven through our prayer, through our mortification, through our knowledge of religion and of our profession. We will carry out this aim: the more within the world we are, the more we must be God’s” (St. Josemaria Escriva; The Forge, no. 740). THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Being Light and Salt

Agradezcamos a Dios su creación más alta: la de las personas angélicas. Son poderosos ejecutores de sus órdenes, prontos a la voz de su mandato. E intervienen además en nuestras vidas para custodiarnos y llevarnos al Cielo, que es su lugar propio. Agradezcamos también a los ángeles adoradores de la eucaristía y a los que participan con nosotros en la liturgia de la Misa. Querámoslos y seamos amigos suyos.
