In our meditation of the week: Fr. Peter Armenio helps us to pray about the sacrificial and redemptive true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, and how we should make the greatest treasure of the universe the center of our life. The source and summit of the Christian life is the Eucharist. Therefore, as Fr. Peter explains, &quot;everything hinges on the Mass. In a certain sense, every devotion is an extension of the Mass and must lead to the Mass.&quot; And, how much we get out of Mass depends on our presence of God throughout the day, and how well we embrace the Cross. Jesus&apos; crucifixion and death were a culmination of his life of self-giving through his work and through his public life. We have to join Jesus in his death and resurrection, through the cross, expressed in our work and expressed in our suffering. St. Josemaria Escriva referred to the workbench as our altar, not sacramentally or liturgically, but that everybody&apos;s altar is in whatever they do. And he says that what really counts is how much self-giving love we put into our work, because that&apos;s how much we&apos;re going to get to be part of the Mass. &quot;While you are at Mass, think that you are sharing in a divine Sacrifice. For that is how it is: on the altar, Christ is offering himself again for you&quot; (St. Josemaria Escriva; The Forge, no. 831). <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Everything-Hinges-on-the-Mass-Transcript.pdf'>View Transcript</a> <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/podcasts/everything-hinges-on-the-mass/'>Visit Show Page</a> THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Everything Hinges on the Mass

On the Feast of St. Josemaria, we reflect on one of his most important teachings: the sanctification of work.  After their conversion, the early Christians were encouraged to continue living the same life which God had already given them.  St. Josemaria encourages us to do the same.  Work is a blessing from God and key to a happy, fulfilled life.  Working well is a condition for offering our work to God, thus making it holy and sanctifying ourselves and others in the process.  Our life of prayer is an essential element in sanctifying our work, without times of intense prayer we cannot turn work into prayer.  <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

St. Josemaria and the Vocation to Work

Hoy celebramos la memoria litúrgica de san Alfonso María de Ligorio. Además de sus aportaciones a la teología moral, nos ha dejado en herencia su amor a María y su amor a la Eucaristía. Recomienda las visitas al Santísimo como la devoción que más gracias y más consuelos nos traerá. Y ofrece muchas razones válidas en apoyo a su afirmación.

Sexting, Children, and Communication

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on May 18, 2025, at Lyncroft Center in Toronto.The Lord took care to leave a deep impression on the disciples, the apostles, when he gave them the mandatum novum. (John 13)It was like a special legacy that he wanted to leave behind. They remembered the words, his tone, but they especially remembered his gestures of tenderness and the warm tone of his voice when he knelt in front of them and washed their feet.They never forgot that night. It stayed imprinted on their brain.

Be like a Vitamin: the New Commandment

Como en las partituras, la Iglesia nos invita en Adviento a vivir día tras día el crescendo, que culminará en el fortíssimo de la Navidad. La liturgia nos alienta en la esperanza, sabiendo que esta no se refiere tan solo al futuro, sino que se verifica en cada instante: Dios es el que viene, en un presente continuo. La espera de Dios fundamenta nuestra esperanza.

Doug unpacks the lives of Saints Louis and Zelie Martin, who both had mental health struggles, but overcame them through daily Mass attendance and reliance on the grace of God. Doug also shares highlights from the lives of another married couple, Luigi and Maria Quattrocci who lived lives of holiness with a strong emphasis on faith and service.

Marriage as a pathway to heaven

12-04-26 Hands and Side (EA)

Our forced isolation and deprivation have a silver lining.  Christ&apos;s prayer in the gospels leads us to the wonderful discovery that God is truly our possession and treasure.

Letting God be God

El Evangelio de la Solemnidad de hoy presenta a los Magos preguntando: “¿Dónde está el nacido rey de los judíos, pues hemos visto su estrella?” ¿Qué significa su estrella? ¿Cuál es la estrella infalible que nos señala dónde encontrar a Jesús? Sin duda que la Cruz. Ella nos señala sin confusión el camino seguro. Recordémosla frecuentemente pues solemos relegarla con frecuencia.

Are you living with someone who has dramatic mood swings during the day? Monica Hinderer joins Doug to unpack the meaning of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and anxious avoidant personalities. Doug and Monica discuss several symptoms of BPD including fear of abandonment, unstable relationships and difficulties with identity.

Borderline Personality Disorder

As we prepare for the season of Advent, we share a reflection on the fruits of the Holy Spirit: peace and joy. And how with these gifts we are called to create bright and cheerful homes and environments like the home of the Holy Family in Nazareth. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22,23).  The gifts of peace and joy are also expressions of the Heart of Jesus which he promises to give to us: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27). Therefore: “May no one read sadness or sorrow in your face, when you spread in the world around you the sweet aroma of your sacrifice: the children of God should always be sowers of peace and joy” (St. Josemaria Escriva; Furrow, no. 59).

Peace and Joy

Jump into the second chapter of Fr. Edward Maristany's book, Heaven Can't Wait: A Glimpse of the Eternal in the Present. He recommends reading it slowly, deliberately, multiple times, to really glean the necessary insights from the short chapters. So we recommend putting this short episode on repeat!

Putting God's Plan Into Action - Heaven Can't Wait

El Rosario sigue el ritmo circular, parecido al de los juegos de niños. En su sencillez, nos mete en una identidad de mundos si sabemos contemplar los misterios con el corazón de María. Al mismo tiempo, la tradición católica habla de él como de arma poderosa, especialmente para la lucha contra el demonio. En el apostolado del Rosario, animar a rezarlo en familia.

2024-02-01 Rosario: oración de niños, arma poderosa.

El papa Benedicto explicó que eligió ese nombra para su pontificado en atención al patrono de Europa, san Benito de Nursia. Este gran santo insistía en no anteponer nada al amor de Cristo. Explorar esa invitación variando la preposición: nada se antepone al amor que Cristo me tiene a mí porque nada es más gozoso, y nada debe anteponerse al amor que yo le debo dar a Cristo.

2026-01-22 Vive para el amor de Cristo

Jesús curaba toda dolencia y toda enfermedad. Merece, como nadie, el título de médico. También ahora cuida y sana, comenzando por nuestra capacidad visual, miope muchas veces; deformada otras. Y nos curará también de los males del corazón, insuficiencia cardíaca que no bombea fuego de amor. O nuestro psiquismo, por ejemplo, el déficit de atención. María nos lleva al Médico en cada dolencia y nos ayuda a seguir el tratamiento.

2025-03-03 Médico divino

La ciencia más alta: conocer a Jesucristo. Advertimos constantes en su actitud, una de ellas la de dirigirse hacia la Cruz. No nos extrañemos que la Cruz esté también presente en nuestra vida. Estamos invitados a amarla, añadiendo lo más posible con nuestra generosidad. Uniéndonos a Jesús, es Él quien la acaba llevando. Ha venido a llenar el sufrimiento con su presencia.

2024-03-01 Valorar la cruz

San Josemaría escribió en sus Apuntes íntimos: “…me di cuenta que en las cuartillas nombradas se ha denominado así. Y ese nombre (¡¡¡la Obra de Dios!!!) me parece un atrevimiento, una audacia…”. Ojalá podamos decir nosotros que nuestra alma es Obra de Dios, porque está viviendo cada vez más la vida de Cristo, la vida de la gracia, que es vida divina.

2025-02-14 Obra de Dios, Cristificación.

This meditation was preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on September 5th, 2026, at Ellerton Centre in Toronto.‘He withdrew to the wilderness and prayed’ (Lk 5:16)What did it look like to see the Lord withdraw into the wilderness? It was described as wilderness, a wild place because it was hostile to man’s control; there were no houses or comforts there. But it was a time of silent unity with God the Father. How can we pray like that in silence? It is hard for our generation to sit there without the comfort of devices. But we know inherently that if we sit there, alone with God, away from our notifications or the reels that make us laugh, we will still deepen in something we deeply need. We will come out of our prayer refreshed, rewired for the mission.Music: Audiio MULVEY Awakening Awakening Instrumental Sound effects: 11325622-police-siren-sound-effect-240674 on Pixabay.

Jesus Withdrew into the Wilderness and Prayed

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Kintore College, Toronto, on March 1, 2025.Convertímini ad me in toto corde vestro, in ieiunio et fletu, et in planctu, dicit Dóminus. Turn to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning, says the Lord.

Ash Wednesday: Time to Convert

Para extraer profundidad de la palabra de Dios empleemos el método lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio. Ahora con la frase “El que come mi Carne y bebe mi Sangre permanece en Mí y Yo en él”. Dándole vueltas, nos invadirá el asombro: cada una de estas palabras es una revelación de un amor que excede toda medida. El fin es la transformación en Cristo.

2026-09-02 El que come mi carne…

Agradezcamos a Dios el habernos dado a María, aprovechando el mes de mayo que comenzamos. ¿Qué significa ser mariano? Sin duda amarla, y mucho. Busquemos hacerlo a través de la presencia de Ella, paralela a la de Dios. Y rezando bien el Rosario, hasta identificar nuestro corazón con el suyo. Entonces nuestras virtudes no serán extrínsecas, sino que procederán de un corazón asimilado a otro.

Order Within Family Chaos

No lo dudemos: la verdad es de Dios; la mentira, del demonio. Es preciso desenmascararla, tanto en nuestra vida personal como en la sociedad. San Josemaría decía: “La Obra, hijos míos, es muy amiga de la verdad”. Oír la voz de Dios sobre nosotros mismos será la primera forma de situarnos ante nuestra propia verdad.

2024-07-18 Amor a la verdad

En esta Solemnidad queremos evitar el riesgo de limitarnos a considerar fríamente este dogma de fe. Estamos hablándole a Santa María, uniéndonos a su alabanza a Dios por los dones que le concedió. Nos manifestamos enormemente agradecidos con el Creador que quiso regalarnos una Madre en plenitud de amor. Ella nos ama a cada uno más que todas las madres a sus hijos, porque en María no existen dos maternidades: nos ama con el mismo amor con el que ama a su Hijo.

2024-12-08 Agradecer el prodigio de la Inmaculada Concepción

El Padre celestial se refiere a su Hijo como el Amado. ¿Lo es también para mí? ¿Es mi mundo interior un continuo encuentro con su mundo interior? El mayor bien, en realidad el único bien, se encuentra en el amor al Amado. La vida divina que está en cada uno de nosotros se despliega en los encuentros con el Amado.

2025-07-19  Que sea amado

How can we prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming during Advent? Fr. John Meyer explores repentance, humility, and sacrifice as essential attitudes for spiritual renewal - using parables like the lost coin and the prodigal son, to encourages listeners to see themselves as the “lost” being joyfully found by God. Fr. John draws on the wisdom of Augustine, Chrysostom, and St. Paul to illustrate how prayer, gratitude, and sincere repentance bring us closer to Christ, transforming ordinary struggles—like impatience and pride—into opportunities for grace. Ultimately, we are all called to a deeper, more personal encounter with God, echoing Mary’s example of faith and openness.

Reducing divorce and supporting the abandoned

In this podcast, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the gifts God gave St. Joseph to live his vocation as the foster father of Jesus. On tomorrow's Feast of St. Joseph, we marvel and give thanks that, in the words of Fr. Peter, "God would choose an obscure carpenter living in this insignificant village of Nazareth" to "contribute to the most important 33 years in the history of the universe."

During her appearances at Fatima, the Blessed Virgin Mary encouraged the three shepherd children to pray for the conversion of souls. Christ wants to give us a new life. God has promised that he will wipe away our every tear. Let us live this in our daily lives, hoping in the peace that only Christ can give.  A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

Conversion: Lord, Help Me Be a Better Son of God

Los judíos que llevan a la mujer adúltera ante Jesús le tienden una trampa. ¿Rechazaría la ley de Moisés, o aceptaría la lapidación de la pecadora? Jesús nos revela el rostro del Padre, y ese Dios es Misericordia, aunque el cúmulo de pecados sea inmenso. Y, al mismo tiempo, la respuesta de Jesús (“el que esté libre de pecado que tire la primera piedra”) nos invita a ser misericordiosos con los demás.

2026-03-14 Misericordia de Dios y nuestra

“Now is the day of salvation, now is an acceptable time… For what?” As we begin the holy season of Lent, Fr. Javier del Castillo reflects on the readings for Ash Wednesday which remind us once again that now is the time for conversion — Lent is a time for conversion. Our Lord gives us an entire season of the liturgical year to turn back to Him, to be reconciled to God, to purify ourselves, and to identify ourselves with God’s suffering. Our conversion does not have to be big and showy. In fact, Fr. Javier explains how simple acts of penance— like offering up our food and drink, setting a time for prayer, and participating in works of mercy— allow us to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ on the Cross and to bring about deeper conversions. He also explains how the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are ultimately participation in the life and mission of Jesus Christ that help us in our earthly life toward the goal of eternal salvation. <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Lent-A-Time-for-Conversion.pdf'>View Transcript</a> <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/podcast/'>Visit Show Page</a> THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Lent: A Time for Conversion (Rebroadcast)

¿Por qué la gente que veía al santo Cura de Ars decía que veía a Dios? Porque tenía mucha gracia santificante. ¿Qué decir entonces de María, la llena de gracia? La gracia es la santidad, es la filiación divina, es la vida eterna. Un regalo del todo excepcional, que hemos de valorar y acrecentar. Animemos a los demás a vivir siempre en gracia y a cuidarla.

2026-07-10 El día de la gracia

Today we contemplate three ways of thinking about Jesus and his coming.  He is the light of the world to whom John the Baptist gives witness.  He is the eternal Word.  John&apos;s voice and ours expresses this Word in preaching and in holiness of life.  He is our salvation.  By turning away from sin and towards charity with his help, Jesus heals us and brings us deep peace and joy. <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

Expecting Jesus: Light, Word, Salvation

La comunión que se lleva a los enfermos se anuncia con el toque de la campanilla. Entonces la gente se apercibe, se arrodilla, y el enfermo se dispone. Hoy, víspera del Corpus Christi, queremos que no nos tome poco preparados esta gran Solemnidad. Es la Eucaristía lo que fundamenta nuestro ser y nuestra vida. Unirnos a las Procesiones de todo el mundo, para adorar y desagraviar.

2024-05-29 La campanilla que anuncia la Eucaristía

Pensar en María siempre nos alegra, nos pacifica, como si recibiéramos un aroma del Paraíso. Ella está más allá de toda miseria y de toda imperfección. “Junto a ti, María, como un niño quiero estar, quiero que me eduques, que me enseñes a rezar”. Nos da lecciones de todas las virtudes, pero su lección fundamental es su misma persona.

2025-01-08 La lección es María

Cuatro detalles que aparecen de relieve en la escena de la curación del paralítico: 1) Es llevado (imagen del pecador que no puede ir a Dios por sí mismo). 2) El agrado de Jesús al ver la fe de los amigos. 3) Que lo llevan entre cuatro: la Iglesia es comunión. 4) Que antes que la salud del cuerpo, Jesús atiende la del alma. Aplicaciones al apostolado.

2026-02-06 Viendo la fe de ellos

En Caná, María interviene sin que se lo soliciten. María es, sí, mediadora, pero no pasiva. Su mediación tiene carácter de intercesión, es decir, Ella pide por nosotros a Dios lo que quizá nosotros no advertimos que necesitamos. Y como es un alma totalmente rendida a Dios por el amor, Él no niega nada de lo que su Madre le pide. María es nuestra esperanza.

2025-06-11 Caná: mediación intercesora.

San Lucas refiere dos veces que María guardaba, conservaba en su corazón lo que sucedía. Gran ejemplo para nosotros, invitados a advertir la continua donación de gracias que recibimos de Dios. San Josemaría llevaba cuenta de la historia de esas intervenciones en sus catalinas. Sería una tarea humana y cristiana de provecho el que también nosotros lo hiciéramos.

“Nosotros predicamos a Cristo crucificado, locura para los gentiles y escándalo para los judíos”. El Crucificado es nuestro timbre de gloria, y vemos en el madero de la Cruz la revelación de su amor y la purificación de todo pecado. En Él encuentra sentido toda pena. Cristo no vino a erradicar el dolor, ni tampoco a explicarlo. Vino a llenarlo con su presencia.

On the Feast of the Ascension, we consider the mixed emotions of the Apostles as they rejoice in our Lord’s triumphal entry into Heaven, while feeling “orphaned” by his departure. Father Joe Keefe meditates on the fact that Jesus remains with us powerfully in the Sacraments, exercising his role as High Priest in the Heavenly Temple.

Como las vidrieras de una catedral, los santos son aquellos que permiten que a través de ellos pase la luz y el calor del Espíritu Santo. Lo que santifica no es nuestro esfuerzo o nuestra capacidad, sino la acción del Dador de Vida divina. Lo tenemos como Huésped desde nuestro bautismo y corremos el riesgo de que pase inadvertido. Agradecerle su presencia, disponiéndonos a secundarlo mejor.

Christ died for us; what have we done for Christ? Let us return love for love, meeting him in the Eucharist. Let us ask Mary to help us rediscover Christ, making him our most dear friend. May this friendship guard my heart and guide my life. A meditation by Monsignor Thomas Bohlin.

Tips for Raising Resilient Children

Do you find yourself lacking resilience in the spiritual life, often resulting in taking “two steps forward, one step back” when it comes to your relationship with Christ? In this podcast, part of our <a href='https://www.stjosemaria.org/day-of-recollection-september-2020/'>Day of Recollection resources for the Month of September</a>, Msgr. Fred Dolan reflects on confronting the struggles we face in strengthening and maintaining our relationship with God. Drawing upon the lives of the saints, he reminds us of the importance in establishing a plan of life to foster discipline within our spiritual life. As we create order in our daily life of work and prayer, we become less inclined to act on temptations and will instead have the strength to remain focused on Christ. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Humility is a virtue that liberates us from the vice that most inhibits us and causes us to suffer needlessly: pride. In this meditation we learn how to pray for this liberation. A meditation by Fr Gavan Jennings.

32. Pride

In this podcast, we reflect on the greatest gift of all: charity. Charity is the foundation for all virtues, for if a virtue does not come from a place of love, then it is for nothing. Saint Paul shares in his letter to the Corinthians that “if [we] speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, [we] are a resounding gong or a clashing symbol. Likewise, if [we] have a faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, [we] are nothing” (1 Cor 13:1-2). The gift of charity is instilled in each one of us throughout childhood. Parents must witness the love of Christ for their children. They must walk the walk so that their children may come to know and experience the love of Christ. In his letters, Saint Paul tells the early church to ‘put on Christ’ as a symbol of their faith. Just as a person can tell if someone is a cop, a nurse, a firefighter, etc. based on the certain uniform they wear, living out the virtue of charity is our sign that we live for Christ. Others need to see Him in us through the way we love. We foster the virtue of charity by spending time with Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. As we spend time with Christ through prayer, our goal is that our “behavior and conversation be such that everyone who sees or hears [us] can say: this man reads the life of Christ” (The Way, 2).

The Greatest Gift

27-10-24 Eyes Closed with Bartimaeus (MC)

La traducción de “Bienaventurados” por “Dichosos” quizá no sea muy precisa. La fuerza del sermón de Jesús en las que nos habla de ellas nos remite a la Vida bienaventurada. No son bendiciones ni maldiciones, sino exhortaciones, aunque sean promesas paradójicas. Pensemos un poco en la de los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia, como el hambre y la sed de Dios.

2025-08-18 Bienaventuranzas

La parábola de la levadura que se mezcla en la masa nos recuerda que estamos insertados en medio de la muchedumbre para darle consistencia y volumen. No porque seamos mejores que los demás, sino porque Jesús nos ha escogido. Que, como a san Pablo, se consuma nuestro corazón a ver a la muchedumbre que está como oveja sin pastor.

2025-07-31 Como levadura en la masa

Lent is a season of penance and prayer.  Voluntary denial of our bodies, souls, and our very selves strengthens our spiritual life.   Without silence, deep prayer is impossible.  Without mortification of our habitual distractions, interior silence is unattainable.  Above all, we should practice the denial of our ego.  Self-satisfaction, vanity, and pride can all coexist with other forms of mortification.  For Jesus to live in us and through us, the denial of our self-centeredness is indispensable.  <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

Ash Wednesday: Lenten Self Denial

Jesús es la Verdad, no solo porque nos revela todas sino porque en Sí mismo es el Logos, la Palabra del Padre. Agradezcamos haber recibido la verdad completa, estando siempre en la pista de Jesús. Nuestra mente y nuestro corazón han de conservar siempre esa dirección, siguiendo las recomendaciones del pájaro neblí que explica san Juan de la Cruz.

Last time Sterling joined us, she talked about overcoming overwhelm.

Ep. 4 Identifying and Dealing with our Stress Responses with Sterling Jaquith

A Spiritual Retreat on St. Joseph, Father and Protector&nbsp;guides us on a prayerful reflection on St. Joseph as our father and protector, and his role in our salvation.
On this retreat, we are guided to contemplate the life of St. Joseph, his virtues and zeal, and take a contemplative look at our own lives. St. Joseph teaches us&ndash; despite our weaknesses, doubts, frailty, and sinfulness&ndash; how to see all the things of our lives as having a higher purpose and he helps us to desire and grow in virtue in all the circumstances of our lives. With St. Joseph as our father and protector, we are able to see our lives as being a part of a larger guided providence and not as a random series of events.
&ldquo;St. Joseph really is a father and lord. He protects those who revere him and accompanies them on their journey through this life &mdash; just as he protected and accompanied Jesus when he was growing up. As you get to know him, you discover that the holy patriarch is also a master of the interior life &mdash; for he teaches us to know Jesus and share our life with him, and to realize that we are part of God&rsquo;s family. St. Joseph can teach us these lessons, because he is an ordinary man, a family man, a worker who earned his living by manual labor &mdash; all of which has great significance and is a source of happiness for us&rdquo; (St. Josemaria Escriva;&nbsp;Christ is Passing By, no. 39).
A Spiritual Retreat on St. Joseph, Father and Protector is a collection of five meditations preached by Rev. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem., a Norbertine priest of St Michael&rsquo;s Abbey in Silverado, California and contributor to the St. Josemaria Institute.

Part Four | Converting Work Into Prayer

17-05-24 Unforgettable Breakfast (DOH)

Invitaba san Benito a no anteponer nada al amor de Cristo. En primer lugar, porque ninguna consideración es más importante que la verdad del amor de Cristo por mí. Después, porque debo orientar toda mi vida a cuidar y acrecentar el amor que a Cristo le tengo. Ese amor se logra con el trato, y mucho ayuda también hacer continuos actos de amor, aunque parezca que solo son de boca.

2025-07-11 Amor de Cristo, amor a Cristo.

El amor hermoso del que habla el libro del Eclesiástico (24, 23-31) es la Sabiduría, es decir, el Verbo. Del hontanar del amor trinitario somos depositarios. Dios nos ama con un amor eterno, infinito e incondicional. Busquemos afianzarnos en esa certeza para que nuestra vida se llene de alegría y paz.

2025-10-08 Amor hermoso, amor divino.

La memoria litúrgica de María, Madre de la Iglesia, resulta muy entrañable. Es decirle a Ella que es Madre de Cristo, Cabeza de la Iglesia, y de los que son de Cristo, nosotros. Esta fiesta es como el reflejo de la Solemnidad de la Maternidad Divina. Por ser Madre de Dios es madre nuestra. Y es muy consolador llamarla no solo madre, sino “mamá”.

A meditation preached on July 1, 2024, Canada Day, at Tour des Pins Centre in Montreal. The Gospel of the day is from Matthew 8: “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” This is after the centurions faith, several amazing cures, people possessed by demons, healed of terrible illnesses.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.
What is Jesus asking us about our availability and our project of life?

Nowhere to Lay my Head

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation to a group of High School boys in the OneUp program at Ernescliff College, Toronto. Matthew 9:9-13: &quot;As Jesus was walking on, he saw a man named Matthew sitting by the customs house, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he got up and followed him.&quot;
By this short description, Matthew became one of the apostles of Jesus. Chosen specifically by Jesus himself. Jesus wants him to be part of this great adventure in the early church. He pointed at him, and Matthew pointed at himself, and all the publicans seem to point only at their own money, such as the 1599 painting by Caravaggio of the Call of St. Matthew in Rome.

Matthew, Follow Me

In Advent we prepare for the coming of the Christ Child at Christmas. Jesus, who found no room in the inn at Bethlehem, can find room in our souls and our lives if we prepare well for his coming. Making room for Jesus means clearing other things out, finding time for prayer, and welcoming him in others.

[Rebroadcast] Advent: Making Room for Jesus

09-06-24 Blame Game (JPM)

In this podcast, Fr. Donncha helps us consider that the Christian vocation to holiness rests upon our ability to let God work in and through us. So often may believe that becoming saints is a matter of our own personal striving. Yet &quot;holiness, to a great degree,&quot; he says, is &quot;letting God work.&quot; He continues: &quot;It&apos;s not a matter of gritting my teeth and straining my muscles...holiness is fundamentally going at God&apos;s pace. It&apos;s saying to Our Lord, with the spirit of Mary...&apos;Let it be done unto me according to your word.&apos;&quot; If we want to become saints, we must allow Our Lord to shine forth in us according to His will. At the Wedding Feast of Cana, Mary notices the lack of wine and tells the servants, &quot;Do whatever He tells you.&quot; Jesus says, to each of us, &quot;Fill up these jars to the brim.&quot; We too will give all we can, without holding anything back. But then we will let Our Lord transform our efforts, &quot;our poor water,&quot; into the choicest wine. <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/A-Calling-to-do-Great-Things-for-God.pdf'>View Transcript</a> <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/podcast/'>Visit Show Page</a> THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

A Calling to do "Great Things" for God

This week we are sharing the first several pages of our latest book: The Homestretch: Making the Best of Our Retirement Years by Stephen Gabriel. For those approaching or living their retirement years, this is a must-listen!

The Homestretch by Stephen Gabriel

A meditation preached on January 31, 2025, last day of the year, at Lyncroft centre. Traditionally, in the old Mass, after the priest had given the blessing, before returning to the sacristy, he would read the prologue of John’s Gospel about the preexistence of the Word, from all eternity that had now become flesh. This Gospel was a way to seal the Mass with the mystery of the incarnation, reminding the faithful of what they had received. Our faith is an encounter with the incarnate Logos, not merely an ethical system of good ideas. The apostles were energized by this truth at Pentecost. Now we too feel this same sense of mission as we embark on 2026.Music: O Come O Come Emmanuel.

Man was made to work and St. Joseph is a great example for us on how to work well for the glory of God. This passage comes from Mike Aquilina's book St. Joseph and His World.

Joseph and His Work - St. Joseph and His World

Joseph welcomes Mary into his home and thus welcomes Jesus with her.  Jesus is Emmanuel, &quot;God with us&quot;, and the &quot;God who saves.&quot;  Jesus&apos;s presence in the world is a spur to our own spirit of service.  He is in us and among us as &quot;one who serves.&quot; <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

"Emmanuel": God with us ... and us with God

¿Cuál es nuestra mayor necesidad? ¿Y de la Iglesia, y de la humanidad? Sin duda el Espíritu Santo, la infusión en nuestras almas, instituciones y países del Espíritu de Dios. Él nos sitúa en el mismo ritmo de la vida divina, que es vida de amor. San Efrén el Sirio comparaba la preparación del alma ante la llegada del Espíritu Santo con las antorchas dispuestas a ser encendidas, como los marineros atentos a la voz del capitán, como los agricultores preparados para sembrar.

2024-05-19 La principal de nuestras necesidades

Hagamos un esfuerzo por pensar que no todo lo que existe es material. Aunque sea con lo que siempre nos encontramos, hay un mundo más allá de la materia —el de los espíritus puros— en el que estamos convidados a alternar. Ellos interceden por nosotros y nos ayudan en nuestra vida espiritual. Son una presencia de consuelo y esperanza.

2025-05-11 Convivir con los ángeles

La Resurrección de Jesús no solo lo afecta a Él, sino también a nosotros. Nos revela qué es el hombre, cuál es el designio de Dios para imitar a su Hijo no solo en esta vida, sino también en la futura. Viviremos con Aquel que ha resucitado, gozando también nuestra propia realidad de resucitados.

2024-03-31 Resucitados con Cristo

La sola mención del nombre de María trae hasta nosotros el aire del paraíso. De belleza, de paz, de elevar nuestra autoestima al sabernos amados. Jesús nos invitó a ser niños, y queremos serlo pequeños, para caber en el regazo de María. Una vida fuera del regazo de María es demasiado complicada. Su vientre es el molde donde hemos de formarnos.

2025-12-10 En el regazo de María

Listen to a portion of St. Josemaria Escriva's Advent meditation, The Christian Vocation from the book Christ is Passing By. The passage comes from points 7-11.

The Christian Vocation - Christ is Passing By

Jesús nos salva ex obedientia et caritate. María pronuncia su sí y se desencadena la liberación del pecado. María oye al enviado de Dios y abre su corazón. Jesús ora y hace siempre lo que a su Padre le agrada. Nuestra vida es ante todo oír, para ser conducidos a gozar del designio de Dios. Hagamos silencio en nuestro abismo interior y ahí Dios nos hablará de continuo.
