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.

In our meditation of the week: Fr. Leo Austin reflects on how Our Lady opens our hearts to giving ourselves as a ransom for many, as we say in the Mass when we receive the Eucharist. To be a ransom for many, as she teaches us, means desiring to make ourselves humble instruments of God. Drawing on the scene of the ten lepers in St. Luke's Gospel, Fr…

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation to a group of High School boys in the OneUp program at Ernescliff College, Toronto.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation on September 10, 2024, to a group of priests at Saint Aidan's parish in Toronto. The subject is the figure of Zacchaeus in Luke 19: “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it they all murmure…

Matthew's response to his vocation demonstrates a great deal of trust in Jesus. His Gospel emphasizes Jesus's deep appreciation of faith and his disappointment at its absence. Trust in Jesus should be absolute, lending a great certainty to our faith in his Church and in all of his teachings. "Faith is the evidence of things unseen." This means that…

In our meditation of the week: Fr. Javier del Castillo reflects on the meaning of St. Josemaria’s teaching that, “An hour of study, for a modern apostle, is an hour of prayer” (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 shoul…

A meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai in Lyncroft Centre, Toronto, on the occasion of the exaltation of the Holy Cross, September 14, 2024. The cross is the instrument on which the Lord was executed. It was a Roman instrument of torture, state-sponsored terrorism. Jesus gave an explanation in mysterious words. Enigmatic, somewhat cryptic, evoking an ima…

Christ's Triumph on the Cross defeated sin and death. It was a triumph of love over selfishness. This victory needs to be repeated in our own lives, in our own carrying of the Cross. Sin and selfishness have to be defeated in us and this entails the acceptance of suffering and sacrifice; in a word the acceptance of the Cross. Suffering is inevitabl…

Habits and routines help us define the day and move through it smoothly – without added stress of what to do next.

In the Gospel of the 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus takes the deaf man aside, away from the crowd. By the finger of God a real connection is made, and he can now hear the Word of God. It is by the finger of God that Jesus will write something in our hearts during prayer. This meditation was preached on September 8, 2024 at Ernescliff College i…

Our Faith constantly encourages us to overcome our fears. This entails standing up to them and being open to fearful situations.

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 med…

Many new parenting styles create an imbalance in the child/parent relationship. When we adopt a parenting style that is child-led and emotion driven, we do a disservice to our children by hyper focusing on how they feel and what they want rather than teaching them how to think and how to feel and express their feelings in an appropriate way while l…

St. Bartholomew's first meeting with Jesus is recorded in the Gospel of St. John. Introduced by Philip, Bartholomew is struck by Jesus's already knowing him before they ever met. Jesus is struck in turn by Bartholomew's sincerity, "an Israelite in whom there is no guile." Our own Christian life is a matter of meeting Jesus, finding that he already …

On 23 August 1982, Pope St John Paul II announced his decision to erect Opus Dei as a Personal Prelature. It was a decision preceded by much prayer. The anniversary reminds us of the great value of a good stubbornness when it comes to prayer of petition. The virtue of stubbornness is also important in our effects to grow, with the help of God's gra…

In our meditation of the week, Fr. Fred Dolan reflects on how some of the most remarkable moments in the New Testament are those moments when one person or another came up to Jesus and begged him for a favor.

Martha invites Jesus into her home along with her sister Mary. Jesus's interaction with them is a great source of insight for us. "The better part" that Mary has chosen, sitting at the feet of Jesus, tells us of the importance of prayer. Jesus's correction of Martha, however, also has to do with her inner attitude of distraction, worry, and resentm…

In our meditation of the week: Fr. Javier del Castillo reflects on the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and how she helps us to rise up to Heaven in our daily lives.
