St. Josemaria Institute Podcast

306

Tune in to the St. Josemaria Institute Podcast to fuel your prayer and conversation with God. 

On our weekly podcast we share meditations given by priests who, in the spirit of St. Josemaria Escriva, offer points for reflection to guide you in your personal prayer and help you grow closer to God.

The meditations are typically under 30 minutes so that you can take advantage of them during your time of prayer, commute, walk, lunch, or any time you want to listen to something good.

The St. Josemaria Institute was established in 2006 in the United States to promote the life and teachings of St. Josemaria, priest and founder of Opus Dei, through prayer, devotions, digital and social media, and special programs and initiatives.

I mean this with all my heart

I’m way overdue to review this podcast, but here I am. I know a lot of people are bothered by lower audio quality/production value. But at some point that becomes a nonissue because this podcast doesn’t need to be fancy to absolutely cut you right to the quick of your soul. These episodes regularly make me cry, or at least stop afterwards and just sit there with silent earbuds as I continue to think about what was talked about in each of them. Please listen. This is…this is important.

Very helpful podcast on what the virtue of humility is

The talk Father Peter gave on humility was very helpful and easy to understand. I have been looking for definitions of humility for two years, asking priests and sisters/nuns online, searching the internet. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the answers. This podcast really helped me understand what the virtue of humility is.

4th Sunday of Advent

This was a wonderful talk on the virtue of Temperance. I especially liked the example that Fr used about using a smartphone intemperately without even realizing that one is attached to the smartphone. Thanks

Great spiritual reflections!

These are short, insightful spiritual reflections that are awesome to listen to in the early mornings at home (especially in these COVID times). Please keep producing them!

A step closer to God

I heard the father and I feel God at my side. Thank you for bringing me closer to the truth .
More Aware!

St.Josemaria is still teaching us to sanctify our work to God!

How absolutely wonderful to know we are able to give our work as well as ourselves to Jesus as He so willingly gave Himself up for us...The Podcasts are so blessed and those presenting are so Christlike. You help us to hear Christ from the depths of our hearts. Listening to the Podcasts have been so rewarding and they have helped in times I needed someone to listen to in my life. May God continue to share His Life through you and through us. Thank you so very much! I must add that your voices become His as you speak... thank you!

At the right time

I want to say that I have been receiving letters from them for at least 2 years. They have so much information on our Lady. She is my passion. Today , I am an Emmaus. I a was reading there new letter. Mind you the weekend of this pandemic we all ready to go with my sisters, to a retreat house. We had to cancel. Life took its course. Gods way always. And it has been a month retreat with the Lord!!!! Amazing!!!!!! The rest I leave to your imagination I already heard the first podcast. Thank you so much for sharing. And I did to my EMMAUS group will be hearing this too. This time for me, belongs to the Lord🙏🏻📿

So happy to have stumbled across this podcast!!

My wife and I love Opus Dei and everything that it does for the Catholic communities that it serves. Unfortunately we are in the military and are usually stationed far from centers or cities where we could attend days of recollection or any formation. This podcast is such a blessing to us as we now can listen to it together and continue to strengthen our interior lives with the guidance of these wonderful priests. Thank you thank you thank you so much for putting this together for us laity that are so hungry for recollection!!

Outstanding Content and Rich Formation

This is a tremendously valuable podcast, chock full of rich, deep insights on life, faith and living united to God. The format allows me to listen to Father Peter and the others virtually everywhere (pun intended) - driving to the office, cleaning the house, doing yard work. A must-listen for anyone interested in processing in the spiritual life. Thank you for making this available.

While I work

As I do chores, I listen to the Meditations and my chores get done well and quickly. Inspiring and informative.

Outstanding and penetrating

I’ve been listening to these podcasts for over a year and have found them consistently outstanding. Both inspiring and spiritually penetrating in their content and delivery. Now almost a daily listener. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a deeper spiritual relationship with both God and our family, friends and coworkers.

Beautiful Meditations for Anyone Seeking a Deeper Relationship with Christ

Remarkable meditations; more like retreat conferences, where one would enter into them in a spirit of prayer. One of the wonderful things about them is that I can listen to them again and again, or pause and reflect more deeply on something that has been said. Fr. Peter Armenio and Fr. Javier del Castillo are both excellent at presenting deep topics in an accessible manner. Highly recommended.
ParisOkobojiMontana

Wonderful part of my spiritual life

I live in a part of the world without a center of Opus Dei nearby so this podcast has been a tremendous blessing. Fr. Armenio comes to me while I’m folding laundry or fixing a meal or exercising and it truly helps me sanctify my work in the moment. Thank you for producing this podcast!
Ana Zogbi

Please listen...every day the Lord talks to us I some way. These are little snippets to remind us we are not alone in our daily work and that Jesus gave his life to save us. It's a refreshing oasis in our troubled and volatile world.
lizgilges

all of the podcasts!

i just figured out how to leave a review... I have listened to ALL of the podcasts and I cant tell you how much they have helped me. I am so grateful for technology!! I wish there was an easier way to share them. Often I dont know email adresses by heart and so I cant forward them on. Usually if I begin to type an email address my computer automatically fills the address in...I cant seem to do this when I click to forward to a freind. Drats! Keep them coming though. I often share the thoughts with friends and family in conversation.
