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.

Journey to the Manger | The Nativity
In this meditation, Fr. Eric Nicolai draws us into the mystery of the Nativity as a moment of profound light shining in darkness. From the difficult journey to Bethlehem to the silence of the manger, we see how God enters the world without spectacle, yet with infinite love. Through Scripture and sharing the witness of the saints, Fr. Eric helps us examine whether our own hearts have become a place truly fit for a King.
Listen now to reflect on:
- The mystery of Christ choosing poverty and humility at his birth
- Mary and Joseph’s quiet faith amid hardship and rejection
- What it means to “make room” for Christ in our interior life
- The Nativity as a call to conversion and simplicity of heart
- How Advent prepares us to welcome Christ more fully at Christmas
- Welcoming Christ more intentionally this Christmas season.
