Three of the seven &ldquo;prophets&rdquo; presented in this book&mdash;Descartes,Rousseau, and Nietzsche&mdash;provoked or facilitated, through their intellectual activity, great upheavals.
The others&mdash;Pascal, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and Soloviev&mdash; predicted these very upheavals but showed us the way to overcome them.
If we study all seven of these philosophers in depth, we will have an easier time grasping the essence and origin of the universal drama now unfolding before our eyes and we will make wise and courageous choices for a better future.
Alex Havard walks us through the hills and valleys of recent history: the philosophical pitfalls embraced by the world, and the transcendent values and virtues that will help us overcome them.
This book is our way forward, as a collective community&mdash;a way to understand where the intellectual confusion began, so that we may find our way out of it.

Seven Prophets and the Culture War (audiobook)

Why would a good God allow so much suffering?
Why doesn't God take away our pain?
Some say he allows it. Others call it punishment. Still others dare to name it a gift. But what is the truth—and how do we live under the weight of suffering that seems senseless, tragic, or cruel?
In a world marked by natural disasters, devastating illness, war, abuse, and untimely death, many wonder why an all-powerful, loving God wouldn't simply make a better world. Couldn't he have prevented it all?
With clarity, compassion, and the depth of Catholic tradition, the author invites readers into the heart of the Church's wisdom on human suffering, an age-old mystery that touches every life.
This book explores:
 

•The nature of evil and why God permits it
•Whether suffering has meaning—and if so, what might that be
•How Jesus transforms pain from within
•What it means to believe in a God of joy in a world of sorrow

Whether you are struggling personally or seeking to understand the suffering of others, this book offers a faithful, honest, and hope-filled perspective for those who dare to ask: Why?

The God of Joy and the Problem of Pain

St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, did not write theological treatises. His was a pastoral activity that led him largely to preach and to pen letters and instructions, mostly for members of the Work that he founded. But his thoughts are knit together by a careful, loving meditation and contemplation of the word of God which caused them to yield new lights to readers in the most varied situations. Without doubt many of these are linked to a heightened awareness of divine filiation—our relationship with God as his sons and daughters.
 "Divine filiation is a joyful truth, a consoling mystery. It fills our spiritual life, showing us how to speak to God, how to know and love our heavenly Father. It makes our interior struggle overflow with hope and gives us the trusting simplicity of little children." These lines are taken from a meditation given by Saint Josemaría in March of 1952. In this short God as Father book, Fr. Ocariz offers "a preliminary attempt" at analyzing and collating the truly impressive theological richness of Saint Escriva's teaching on divine filiation.

God as Father

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Prayer is one of the sublime treasures of the Christian tradition, since it places us directly in contact with our Creator. It brings us into an intimacy with the one who transforms us from the inside and directs our life toward the good and the beautiful.

Made up of brief chapters informed and nourished by the long Christian tradition, this book will help you discover the different facets of prayer and all the means that the Church gives us to cultivate it, persevere in it, and make this treasure bear fruit.

Treasure of Prayer

Opus Dei (the Work of God) is a worldwide institution of the Catholic Church. Its members, lay men and women and secular priests, strive to practice the Christian virtues, while remaining in their own state and position in life and pursuing their own occupations and ordinary work in society. In this way they carry out the apostolate of making the doctrine of Christ known by their example and word. The aim of Opus Dei is to help people of all social levels and professions appreciate the dignity of the Christian vocation and the consequences that arise from it. Opus Dei provides its members with the spiritual means and formation they need in order to live a life proper to a Christian who seeks to live out the implications of his faith. It helps them to do this in a specific way &mdash; with freedom and responsibility, in the world, among the realities that make up their ordinary work.

Closing

Grace is a fundamental concept for&nbsp;the Christian life. But what exactly does &lsquo;grace&rsquo; mean? This book offers an introduction to this vital area for theology and for the lived experience of faith.
The theme of grace is placed within the area of theology known as&nbsp;Theological Anthropology. Theological Anthropology studies what God has revealed to us about the meaning of the human person. This particular work focuses on how the action of the Holy Trinity transforms man and raises him to the new dignity of being a son of God.
Topics covered include the relationship between the natural and the supernatural, as well as the meaning of grace in Sacred Scripture and in the theological tradition. Special attention is given to the thought of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. John Paul II, as well as to the insights of biblical scholarship.
Particular chapters deal with various aspects of the mystery of grace, including the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the soul of the Christian, divine filiation in Christ, and the interior transformation of the soul brought about by God&rsquo;s saving action. This book also explores how grace operates in relation to human freedom, and in the good works which are the fruit of God&rsquo;s action and human cooperation. Finally, the book closes with a chapter on the way grace operates in the Christian&rsquo;s everyday spiritual journey towards eternal life.

Ten Minutes With Jesus

The Bible is God's love letter, written to draw us into his life and his plan for our salvation. Theologian Jeffrey L. Morrow offers a clear, engaging, and faithful introduction to Sacred Scripture for Catholics hoping to understand the Bible more confidently and prayerfully. Drawing from the Church's teaching, the wisdom of the Fathers, and the best of contemporary scholarship, Morrow guides readers through: - What biblical inspiration really means&mdash;and why Scripture is wholly true, trustworthy, and divinely authored. - How to interpret the Bible "from the heart of the Church," through the literal and spiritual senses. - How archaeology and history powerfully support Scripture's remarkable reliability. - A tour of each major section of the Bible, illuminating its themes, contexts, and place within salvation history. - How every book of the Bible fits into the story of salvation. More than an overview, this book invites readers to encounter the living God in the pages of the Bible&mdash;to understand not only what Scripture says, but why it was written: ". . . that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Tm 3:17). Whether you are opening the Bible for the first time or seeking a renewed, richer understanding, this book will help you read Scripture as the Church has always read it: faithfully, intelligently, and as a path to holiness.

The Word of God Inspired For Our Salvation

Inspired by the moving encounter on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:30-31), While He Spoke To Us Along The Way offers meditations given by priests of Opus Dei in Los Angeles, that invite listeners to experience the warmth of Christ's presence and the clarity of His Word.
Whether you're commuting, taking a quiet moment, or seeking spiritual nourishment, this podcast is a companion for your journey with Christ, aimed to guide you in your daily life of prayer-helping you recognize Jesus walking beside you, speaking to your heart, and opening the Scriptures in ways that illuminate your path.

While He Spoke to Us Along the Way

How does Mary guide us back to Jesus when we struggle, fail, or lose our way? In this meditation, Fr. Paul Donlan reflects on Mary as the Mother of the Church and the spiritual mother of every Christian, drawing from Christ’s words on the Cross in John’s Gospel. He describes Mary’s tender role in leading believers safely through the dangers and distractions of life, helping them return to Christ through repentance and grace. Using vivid personal stories from his childhood and pastoral insight inspired by St. Josemaría, Fr. Paul presents Mary as a loving mother who cleanses, protects, and accompanies her children with compassion, always leading them closer to Jesus.

Mary, Mother of the Church: Returning to Jesus Through Mary

Jacques Philippe develops themes relating to prayer, freedom, the Holy Eucharist, and man&rsquo;s constant struggle for contentment amid the stresses of everyday life. Through spiritual insights of amazing women of the Church&mdash;Etty Hillesum, Th&eacute;r&egrave;se of Lisieux, and Teresa of Avila&mdash;Fr. Jacque&rsquo;s essays examine topics such as:
<ul>
<li>Why look for interior peace?</li>
<li>Knowing God through Mary</li>
<li>Touching God through prayer</li>
<li>The theological virtues and the Eucharist&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>

Chapter 10: Patrick and His Legacy

Once again, Mike Aquilina delves into the life and world of a legendary saint too often surrounded by more &ldquo;legend&rdquo; and less certainty. While traversing history in an imaginative and engaging way, Aquilina&rsquo;s keen interest in both historical fact and storytelling combine artfully into a powerful reminder why St. Patrick came to be one of the most beloved and well-known saints of the Catholic Church.
Using Patrick&rsquo;s own raw, unpolished, and intensely vulnerable fifth-century writings&mdash;the Confession&nbsp;and the Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus&mdash;Aquilina invites you to look into the inner heart of the saint. You will discover a man who didn't just preach the Gospel, but lived it as an emergency rescue mission.
<h3>What You'll Discover Inside:</h3>
<ul data-path-to-node="8">
<li>
The Reluctant Saint:&nbsp;How a typical, wealthy teenager with no real personal faith was snatched by Irish pirates, endured six brutal years of slavery in the elements, and there, discovered a deep, unshakeable intimacy with the Trinity.
</li>
<li>
History vs. Myth:&nbsp;The fascinating truth behind the legends&mdash;including why science proves Patrick never banished snakes, and how his famous prayers actually served as clever, orthodox tools to transition a culture steeped in pagan magic.
</li>
<li>
A Battle of Civilization:&nbsp;The gripping contemporary parallel between St. Augustine, who witnessed the tragic collapse of the Roman Empire, and St. Patrick, a solitary figure on the literal "ends of the earth" planting the seeds for the rebirth of Christian Europe.
</li>
<li>
A Portrait of Righteous Rage:&nbsp;The dramatic account of Patrick taking on corrupt British warlords, standing up for enslaved converts, and displaying the ultimate mark of sanctity: desiring the eternal conversion of his worst enemies.
</li>
</ul>
Expertly balancing rigorous historical evidence with an imaginative and conversational narrative style, Aquilina makes a powerful, persuasive case for why this rugged, uneducated bishop deserves to be numbered among the great Fathers of the Church.
St. Patrick and His World is more than a biography; it is an inspiring blueprint for how Catholics today can evangelize a culture that is increasingly unfamiliar with&mdash;and hostile to&mdash;the Gospel.&nbsp;

St. Patrick and His World (audiobook)

El 9 de julio de 1974, san Josemaría llegó a Lima. Se cumplían, exactamente, veintiún años desde que, el 9 de julio de 1953, se comenzó la labor del Opus Dei en el Perú.

En 1965 se creó el Instituto Rural Valle Grande, para contribuir a mejorar el nivel humano, profesional y espiritual de las familias campesinas. Brinda asistencia técnica y de gestión a los pequeños agricultores de los valles de Cañete, Yauyos y zonas aledañas. Realiza actividades de investigación y transferencia de tecnología productivas, favoreciendo la organización solidaria de los campesinos logrando que obtengan ventajas competitivas en una economía de libre mercado. Cuenta además con una escuela de capacitación superior, en régimen de alternancia, donde se forman los futuros trabajadores del campo.

Ese año se creó el Instituto Rural Valle Grande, para contribuir a mejorar el nivel humano, profesional y espiritual de las familias campesinas. Brinda asistencia técnica y de gestión a los pequeños agricultores de los valles de Cañete, Yauyos y zonas aledañas.

Un encuentro con san Josemaría | Valle Grande, Perú | 1974

Sanctity is not improvised. St. Josemar&iacute;a Escriv&aacute; believed that the soul, like any serious endeavor, requires structure &mdash; a daily rhythm of prayer, work, and sacrifice that keeps God at the center of everything. In this booklet he lays out the practical framework of a plan of life: not a rigid schedule, but a set of anchoring habits that give each day its supernatural direction. Clear, demanding, and deeply encouraging, it is essential reading for anyone who wants their ordinary hours to count for eternity.

A Plan of Life

Statesman, scholar, husband, father, martyr &mdash; Thomas More remains one of history's most compelling witnesses to the primacy of conscience. Thomas J. McGovern traces the spiritual formation of a man who rose to the heights of power in Tudor England without ever losing sight of what mattered most. A portrait of integrity, courage, and the quiet heroism of a life lived entirely for God.

Sir Thomas More: the Making of a Saint

In this week’s podcast, Fr. Leo Agustina shares a reflection on the treasure of Christ, present in the Eucharist, and how we can become a living tabernacle in the world today. Fr. Leo draws our attention to the moments prior to the Ascension as Christ shares with his disciples the Great Commission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Mt 28:19-20).This powerful message is an invitation from Christ to participate in his salvific work, drawing all men and women toward Heaven. Christ humbles himself to become bread so that he may dwell fully within us, as a living tabernacle, and gives us the opportunity to participate more fully in his mission to share the gift of faith with future generations to come.As you pause and reflect today, how will you continue to mold your life of faith and prayer to draw closer to our Eucharistic Lord?<a href='https://stjosemaria.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Behold-I-Am-With-You-Transcript.pdf'>View Transcript</a> <a href='https://stjosemaria.org/podcast/'>Visit Show Page</a> Subscribe to our NEW Devotions channel where we share audio recordings of our popular novenas and devotions available at www.stjosemaria.org to accompany you in your time of prayer, whether at home or on the go. Click here to subscribe on <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/devotions-on-the-st-josemaria-institute-podcast/id1895870885'>Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/1rpuXHM94Y06ouU37iIMHH?si=6508be06971e4324'>Spotify.</a> <a rel="payment" href="https://stjosemaria.org/give/">Support the show</a>THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Behold, I Am With You (Rebroadcast)

She was seventeen years old, a student from Barcelona with a quick smile, a guitar, and a love of mountain hikes &mdash; and she is now a candidate for beatification. Montserrat Grases lived nothing that looked extraordinary from the outside: school, friends, family, the small daily struggle to be kinder and more generous. Then came a terminal cancer diagnosis at sixteen, and the world saw what that hidden interior life had built. Written with warmth and precision by Mercedes Eguibar, this booklet follows Montse from her first encounter with Opus Dei to her death on Holy Thursday 1959 &mdash; a death as serene, joyful, and unhurried as her life. A quietly electrifying portrait of what it actually looks like to become a saint.

Montserrat Grases

God calls each of us by name &mdash; but do we know how to listen? Rev. Federico Suarez explores the nature of divine vocation with clarity and warmth, showing that God's call is not reserved for priests and religious but reaches every soul in the ordinary circumstances of daily life. A practical and encouraging guide for anyone seeking to discern God's will and respond with generous, wholehearted love.

When God Calls

To live in God's presence is not a mystical achievement reserved for monks and contemplatives &mdash; it is the birthright of every baptized soul. Francis Luna offers a practical and deeply human guide to cultivating an awareness of God throughout the ordinary moments of the day: at work, at home, in joy and in struggle. For anyone who longs to make their whole life a prayer.

Living in God's Presence

Written in the weeks following St. Josemar&iacute;a's death in 1975, this moving tribute by Cardinal Sergio Pignedoli captures the spiritual genius of Opus Dei's founder with the intimacy of a friend and the precision of a theologian. Here is the man behind the movement: rooted in divine filiation, consumed by love for the Church, and utterly convinced that sanctity is the vocation of every Christian &mdash; in the office, the kitchen, the workshop, wherever life is lived.

Divine Ways on Earth

Prayer is the breath of the soul &mdash; and yet so many Christians feel they don't quite know how. Rev. Francis Luna cuts through confusion and discouragement with straightforward, encouraging guidance rooted in the Church's rich tradition. Whether you are just beginning or have been praying for years, this booklet will deepen your conversation with God and renew your desire to seek his face.

How to Pray

Coached by Joan of Arc book is a dialogue between the reader and Joan of Arc, the woman Mark Twain called "easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced." 
As we explore her virtue-infused life, this astonishingly modern woman takes us by the hand, coaches us, whispers wise advice and lessons in noble leadership in our ear. Far from being anachronistic, her way of life and virtuous example is eternally new, for she follows precepts that are above human weakness. 
Joan is for all of us ‚Äì men and women of today, living and working in the midst of the world. She is for us all a coach, a mother, and an excellent teacher of the elevated, virtuous, and courageous life.

Every moment is an opportunity to begin again. Rev. Walter Macken offers a message of profound hope for anyone who feels the weight of past failures, old habits, or spiritual discouragement. Drawing on the inexhaustible mercy of God, this booklet is a gentle but bracing invitation to conversion &mdash; not someday, but today. Perfect for Lent, Advent, or any moment when the soul is ready for a fresh start.

A New Beginning

In Father, The Family Protector, Educator James Stenson explores how fathers exercise their powerful and particularly masculine contribution to family life. His research comes from more than twenty years of working with families from two highly successful independent secondary schools for boys that he helped establish, The Heights School in Washington D.C., and Northridge Preparatory School in Chicago. As headmaster, he made it his business to know hundreds of families intimately studying their family lives, watching their children grow into maturity, very often successfully, but sometimes not. Through countless conversations with fathers and mothers, he tried to account for the differences, looking for patterns of family life among those parents who triumphed with their children. What did these successful men and women have in common? What did they manage to do right? Most important: what could other parents learn from their experience? 
 This wisdom of fatherhood is what this book for dads is all about. It explains the main obstacles in today's society that undercut a father's teaching role, and tells men what they could do to overcome them. Then within this framework, James Stenson spells out how successful fathers deal with their children in the more crucial areas: family rules, discipline, schooling, sports, recreation, the media, and ongoing teamwork with one's wife. In short, this book for dads provides the guidance that will help any father to carry out a serious responsibility - that of protector of his family.

Father, The Family Protector

How can centering our lives on the Eucharist transform our daily work, prayer, and relationships into a path of holiness and redemption? In this meditation, Fr. Luke Mata reflects on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, emphasizing that the Eucharist is the source, summit, center, and root of Christian life. He explains the Mass as the sacramental re-presentation of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary, not merely a remembrance, and encourages Catholics to unite their daily activities, sufferings, and responsibilities to Christ’s offering through active participation in the Mass. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, Vatican II teachings, and the example of the early Church, Fr. Luke highlights the transformative and redemptive power of a life centered on the Eucharist, concluding with an invitation to seek Mary’s help in becoming men and women whose lives revolve around Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Centering Life on the Eucharist

Leadership is often said to be a quality that a person is either born with, or is not. 
 What if "leadership" was not something reserved for CEOs and politicians, but rather a skill that one can hone through practice? 
 In¬†Virtuous Leadership: An Agenda for Personal Excellence, based on his executive program of the same name, Alexandre Havard provides readers with a roadmap to becoming a charismatic leader, no matter their station in life, including tips such as: 
 ¬† 

‚Ä¢ Why "thinking big" and striving towards greatness outweighs a magnetic personality 
‚Ä¢ Why devotion to service is a key quality of a strong leader 
‚Ä¢ How the four cardinal virtues set a solid foundation for solid leaders and how to grow in them 
‚Ä¢ How to adopt the qualities history's best leaders have in common 
‚Ä¢ Actionable steps to achieving personal excellence in your own life 

 As Havard keenly asserts, every member of society is a leader in one way or another. "Heads of state, schoolteachers, captains of industry, housewives, military chiefs of staff, and health care workers‚Äîall exercise leadership." 
 While detailing exactly how to strive for a life of virtue, Havard pulls from the greatest minds in history, from Greek philosophers through modern day minds like Josef Pieper and St. Josemar√≠a Escriv√°. Havard cleverly views virtue, like leadership, as a habit that anyone can train. "Virtue is not a kind of talent, used as needed, rather it is present in all circumstances. It becomes who you are." 
 By growing in virtue, building trust, and leading through auctoritas, the authority that stems from character, readers will not only be able to bring order to their office in life, but also live a more fulfilled and purposeful life.

Tomas taught high school, ran a boarding school for orphans, was a college professor of pedagogy, and helped found a network of parent-sponsored primary and secondary schools. Paquita was also a high school teacher and principal as well as an artist, but decided to dedicate herself to her family. She helped organize the early activities of Opus Dei for married women and schoolgirls.

Introduction to the Series

Montserrat Grases died in Barcelona of bone cancer at 17 years of age. Throughout her painful illness, Montse, as she was known to her family and friends, maintained a contagious cheerfulness and a focus on her friends and family rather than on herself. In a 2016 decree, Pope Francis confirmed that Montse had lived a life of heroic virtue and named her as venerable.
