Lent: An Invitation to Prayer
Throughout the Gospels Jesus tries to form the Apostles as men of prayer. He tries to introduce them to the intimacy he has with the Father. Lord, this Lent, let us enter through prayer into the life of the Trinity, into the loving dialog of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. A meditation by Father Joe Keefe.

Blessed are the Pure of Heart
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. Living the virtue of purity will always be a battle, but with the help of Jesus, it is a battle we can win. We will need prayer and the sacraments, especially confession and the Holy Eucharist. The fight is worth it, because we are called to live here as children of God. A meditation by Father Thomas G. Bohlin.

August: When the Saints Come Marching In (Re-broadcast)
In this mediation we look at some of the great saints we encounter in the liturgy in August, including the Cure of Ars, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Saint Monica, Saint Augustine, Saint John the Baptist. We celebrate the Assumption of Mary, the mother of Jesus and the greatest of saints. Taking advantage of the example, lives, and words of these great saints, let us strive to grow in holiness and become saints ourselves.

The miracle of Christ’s presence in the Eucharist
Let us give thanks for our Lord’s presence in the Eucharist. Let us consider the depth of our Lord’s love for us, which has led him to stay with us, hidden under the appearance of bread in the Blessed Sacrament. How much love he has for us. A meditation by Father Tom Bohlin.
Like other forms of meditation, Christian meditation starts with mindfulness. Unlike them, it is essentially a dialogue with the "Love that moves the sun and the other stars" (Dante), and leads to a deeper friendship with Jesus Christ. In these recordings, Opus Dei priests reflect and pray out loud to stir hearts to this dialogue. A new meditation is released each week.
