St. Josemaria Institute Podcast
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.

A Jubilee of Youth: The Cross and the Anchor
In our meditation of the week: Fr. Leo Austin reflects on the spirit of the Jubilee of Youth, inviting young people, and all who are young at heart, to rediscover the joyful call of Christ amidst the challenges of life.
Drawing from the parable of the wheat and weeds (Matthew 13), Fr. Leo reminds us that the Christian journey is not about eradicating every difficulty or fixing every flaw immediately. Like the disciples who gathered around Jesus after their missions, we are called to walk with Christ, grow stronger through adversity, and deepen our hope rooted in Him.
Listen now to reflect on:
- How the Jubilee of Youth is a celebration of hope—a call to embrace life’s mission with confidence and joy.
- The quiet strength we find when we recognize that God does not promise an easy path but promises his loving presence in every moment.
- Why God allows trials to remain—not to discourage us, but to lead us to maturity, resilience, and deeper faith.
- How prayer, the sacraments, and Christian community anchor us like the Cross on the stormy seas of life, offering true hope and direction.
