February 14 is the occasion of two anniversaries for the Prelature of Opus Dei: the commencement of Opus Dei's apostolic work with women in 1930 and the beginning of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross in 1943. Fr Patrick Gorevan reflects on how St Josemaría Escrivá responded to the divine inspiration he received on that date and what that means for us today.  

In this meditation, for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time,  Fr Gavan Jennings delves into the prophetic role each of us is called to play, following the example of Jesus Christ, through the good example we give, with our professional prestige and our sanctified work. "I have appointed you as a prophet for the nations" Jeremiah 1:5

The Church in Vatican II and Beyond: a reflection on the Church as mystery, sacrament and communion, before, during and after the Council. This talk by Fr Patrick Gorevan was given in the parish of our Lady, Queen of Peace on Merrion Road, Dublin in 2021. 

Meditation on our Lord's words at the Last Supper, "That all may be one" on occasion of the Octave of Church Unity, an octave which is observed from the 18th to 25th January 2022. This meditation is given by Fr Brian McCarthy. 

Today’s feast, the Baptism of the Lord, coincides with the anniversary of St Josemaria’s birth in 1902. He was convinced of the dignity flowing from our baptism, which makes us children of God and opens the way to holiness. His example, teaching and intercession are a call to live out our baptismal vocation. This meditation is given by Fr Pat Gorevan. 

The Year of the Family runs from March 19, 2021 – June 26, 2022.

In this podcast, Msgr. Fred Dolan reflects on keys themes from Amoris laetitia, an Apostolic exhortation on love in the family written by Pope Francis. This exhortation sets forth the goal for us and our families to resemble more and more closely the Holy Family of Nazareth so that we become, as Msgr. Dolan encourages us, “leaven of a new humanity and of a concrete and universal solidarity.”

The Epiphany of our Lord is the feast of the universality of salvation: all are invited to Christ. Let us welcome this immense gift and do all we can to share it with everyone. Fr Donncha O hAodha prays a meditation on the Feast of the Epiphany, 6 January 2022

Do you have the aspiration, the desire, to give yourself completely to God? What is holding you back?
