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.

The Second Word: “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this second meditation of our Lenten series on the Seven Last Words of Christ, Msgr. Martin Schlag reflects on Jesus’ promise to the Good Thief: “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise," which reveals the power and repentance and depth of God's mercy.
Msgr. Schlag encourages us to examine our hearts this Lent, ask for the grace of sincere conversion, and place our trust in the saving love of Christ.
PAUSE & REFLECT
- What obstacles do I need to remove to more fully allow the work of the Holy Spirit to mold me into the image of Christ?
- Do I approach my work with an optimistic Christian outlook?
- As I look back on my unique journey with Our Lord, for what moments can I give thanks for when he has made his presence most known to me?
