Our mother Mary gave all the glory to God. Throughout the Gospels, she usually remains in the background. She directs attention not to herself but to Jesus. Mary becomes a model of humility, obedience and love for the whole Church. Mary was a mother for the first Christians, and she is a mother for us. A meditation by Father Thomas G. Bohlin.

The Transfiguration of Christ
Jesus took Peter, James and John, and he led them up a high mountain apart by themselves, and he was transfigured before them. The Transfiguration on Mount Tabor was a preparation for that other mountain, Mount Calvary, Golgotha. Jesus calls upon us to become another Christ, to embrace the Cross. A meditation by Father Thomas Bohlin.

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.
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.
