  [Rebroadcast] Like the Apostles 12.09.2026 25мин

  Like the apostles themselves, the life of the Christian is a call to be close to Jesus and to go out and spread the Good News. Holiness and apostolate are two sides to the same divine vocation. To be an apostle, however, we have to confront various obstacles which would keep us from sharing Christ with others.

  Mary's Birthday: Humility and Trust 05.09.2026 28мин

  On September 8th we celebrate the Feast of The Nativity of Our Lady. THis is an opportunity to contemplate her humility and her radical response to God.

  Contemplatives in the Middle of the World: Identification with Christ 29.08.2026 30мин

  St. Josemaria described the potential of lay holiness in an interesting way. He said all Christians can and should be "contemplatives in the middle of the world." Holy Scripture and Church teaching reaffirm this high ideal. The Christian is intimately united, indeed identified, with Christ himself.
• 
  Christ's Suffering (and ours?): Meaningful, Free, Loving 22.08.2026 29мин

  Sacred Scripture teaches us some clear lessons about Christ's suffering. His passion was redemptive and meaningful. It was freely chosen and accepted. It was all an act of divine and human love for us and for the Father. As Christians, Christ invites us to give the same meaning to our sufferings. This invitation is a tremendous act of confidence in us and in our capacity to love as he did.

  The Assumption of Mary: Shining like the Sun in the Kingdom of God 14.08.2026 30мин

  The Assumption of Mary is a very special Feast in the Church. To gaze on Our Lady in Heaven is to contemplate something very beautiful and important. The marvel of her glorification speaks to us of the surpassing beauty of goodness and holiness as such. Our Mother's destiny in heaven and her eternal glorification is a revelation of our own future as Christians called to holiness and everlasting life.

  "Say 'Thank You!'": Reflections on Gratitude 08.08.2026 28мин

  Gratitude is a very important Christian disposition. God appreciates gratitude, as we all do. One of the four basic acts of prayer, gratitude should be a constant state of mind and heart. In addition to pleasing God, it also brings the soul joy and peace.

  "God Will Provide": Growing in Radical Trust 01.08.2026 28мин

  This Sunday's readings show as God as a generous provider. In the book of Isaiah, God invites the people to come to him for their food and drink. In the Gospel, Jesus feeds the crowds with the miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish. God's providence is something we are called to place great trust in, especially when times are hard.

  Rebroadcast: The Cross and Transformation 25.07.2026 28мин

  "He who loves his life will lose it, he who loses his life for my sake will find it." Finding our true life, and our true selves, means handing ourselves over to Christ. Losing our lives for the sake of Christ is a transformative union with him. This takes work and an acceptance of suffering. There is no resurrection of ourselves in Christ without the cross. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

  "Compassion on the Crowd": Charity and Understanding 18.07.2026 27мин

  Jesus doesn't just have compassion on others, he discovers motives for his compassion. Understanding others is an essential ingredient in loving them. This takes humility, patience, and the rejection of an evil, critical spirit.
• 
  "Rejoicing in Heaven": The Joy of Contrition 11.07.2026 26мин

  Jesus' victory over sin is a great cause of joy in heaven and on earth. This victory only happens, however, insofar as sin is recognized and repented of. Paradoxically, therefore, the sorrow of contrition for our sins is simultaneously a great motive for joy at our reconciliation with God. Sorrow for sin lets Jesus' victory be won in us and thus makes of us fertile grounds for joy and celebration.

  "Go and sin no more": A More Decisive Conversion 27.06.2026 29мин

  Sin and evil are real. They are not playing games. To defeat them and be disciples of Christ, we need to take our Christian life very seriously. This takes resolute, decisive choices and clear thinking about good and evil, virtue and vice, love and betrayal.
• 
  "Stay with us, Lord": Dwelling with Christ in Prayer 20.06.2026 28мин

  Jesus's presence in the Blessed Sacrament affords us a wonderful opportunity. Just as we spend time with friends and loved ones just to be with them, our mental prayer is an occasion of simply being present with Jesus. Jesus did this during his earthly life with various groups and individuals. They cherished these days and hours alone with their Friend, Lord, and Teacher. We can do the same in our prayer life.
• 
  "Christian, remember your dignity" 14.06.2026 20мин

  This Sunday's readings remind us of so many important realities. We are God's people and precious to him. He has loved us in our sinfulness, before we merited any goodwill on his behalf. We are an apostolic Church chosen by name and invested with power to do good and proclaim the Gospel. Our ordinary lives are actually quite extraordinary!
• 
  Jesus's Sacred Heart: His Divine and Human love for you! 12.06.2026 26мин

  The Sacred Heart of Jesus is more than a symbol. Jesus truly loves us with his heart. This love is fully human: emotional, warm, tender, encouraging. This love is fully divine: all powerful, infinite, eternal. To appreciate this love we need to live in it and pray about it. Let's "enter into the Sacred Heart of Jesus," as saints and Popes alike have encouraged us. There we find new strength for our own love of God and others.

  The Feast of Corpus Christi [Rebroadcast] 06.06.2026 30мин

  On the Feast of Corpus Christi the Church turns her heart to Jesus's real presence in the Blessed Sacrament. A marvel of love, in the Eucharist the infinite enters the finite, the Creator his creation and the invisible the visible real. Adoration, devotion, and gratitude should mark our response to this great mystery of our Faith.
• 
  Silent Love, Silent Prayer [Rebroadcast] 30.05.2026 32мин

  The Bible often encourages us to a silent, receptive stance before God's reality and goodness. This kind of prayer takes recollection or composure of heart, which in turn requires some trust in God. Our distaste for quiet prayer can be rooted in an unwillingness to cede control or a fear of the changes it might provoke in us. Jesus's advice to the busy Martha is pertinent for all times: "Mary has chosen the better part." Although our lives are rightly busy, we sh...
• 
  Pentecost: God's Spirit in our hearts 23.05.2026 27мин

  The Holy Spirit is God's gift to us. The Spirit dwells within each one of us in the state of grace. We should ask him for help and rely on his presence especially to live the virtue of charity. The fruits of the Spirit are the indications of his activity in our life.
• 
  Growing in Knowledge and Love of God 16.05.2026 28мин

  "This is eternal life, that they know you the one true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." These words of Jesus reveal the importance of coming to know God more and more. We grow in this knowledge in various ways: study and spiritual reading, personal dealings with Him in our prayer life, living in HIs presence. To know Jesus fully, however, we also have to enter into his own experience of loving and trusting God in and through the trials of our life.
• 
  Mother's Day, Mother's Month 09.05.2026 29мин

  As we celebrate Mother's Day in the month of May, our minds and hearts naturally go to our Heavenly Mother, Mary. Devotion to Our Lady should be natural and heartful, as is our devotion to our own mothers. Mary is a great ally in the Christian life and May, Mary's month, is a great time to increase our love for her and our dependence on her intercession .

  "Offer it up!": Christian Spiritual Priesthood 02.05.2026 28мин

  St. Peter says we are a priestly people who offer spiritual sacrifices to God. What does it mean to have a "priestly soul"? How can we make our hearts altars of a burning love of God? How can we be mediators and peacemakers between God and men?
