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.

By entering into the scene of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, we can learn valuable lessons of humility and dedication from Mary, Simeon, and Anna.
"This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." We do not want our Lord's reproach of the Pharisees in the words of Isaiah to be true of us, and so we want to live our Christian lives authentically. This entails a constant desire for conversion, honesty in our self-examination, and openness to the Holy Spirit's action in our soul. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.
Our anger in itself is not sinful, but we run the risk of offending God if we allow our anger to make us act out of selfish motives. As Christians, we are called to exercise prudence and meekness and to accept setbacks peacefully. A meditation given by Fr. Timothy Uhen.
On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we can recall how we are in need of purification and repentance, and Jesus shows us the way. Our own baptism results in death and a new life in Christ, one which we can live fully by seeking God in the midst of our ordinary lives. A meditation given by Father Timothy Uhen.
