#55 Christ the King - Be Frank with God Nov 20, 2025 00:29:50 The liturgical year is coming to a close and in the holy sacrifice of the altar we renew the offering of the victim to the Father — the offering of Christ, the king of justice, love and peace, as we shall read shortly in the preface.[1] You all experience a great joy in your souls as you consider the sacred humanity of our Lord.

#40 The Power of Forgiveness - Be Frank with God Mar 28, 2024 00:30:01 A few weeks ago, I visited Torreciudad. I live in Murcia, and I’ve been telling everyone the same story: I left the Chapel of Our Lady of the Pillar in tears. After listening to the explanations we were given about the sanctuary’s altarpiece, I decided to go to confession. It had been many years since my last one—because, to be honest, I had stopped believing.What truly moved me, however, was the

#32 The danger of Lukewarmness - Be Frank with God Jul 19, 2023 00:29:46 Fight against that weakness which makes you lazy and careless in your spiritual life. Remember that it might well be the beginning of lukewarmness... and, in the words of the Scripture, God will vomit the lukewarm out of his mouth. - The Way, Chapter 14, 325

#31 The Feast of St. Josemaria Escriva - Be Frank with God Jun 21, 2023 00:30:05 #31 The Feast of St. Josemaria Escriva - Be Frank with God

#30 Praying with the Holy Spirit - Be Frank with God May 19, 2023 00:29:59 In April 1934, Saint Josemaria composed a prayer to the Holy Spirit that he prayed frequently and encouraged others to pray. Come, O Holy Spirit! Enlighten my mind to know your commands; strengthen my heart against the snares of the enemy; inflame my will… I have heard your voice, and I don’t want to harden myself and resist, saying “Later…, tomorrow.” Nunc coepi! Now I begin! In case there is no

#29 The Merits of Our Lady - Be Frank with God May 8, 2023 00:29:59 I want to share a miracle that Our Lady of Torreciudad has worked in my life. It’s one of those miracles that Saint Josemaría used to say often go unnoticed — because they’re something intimate, something that happens quietly between a person and the Virgin. I want to spend the rest of my life giving thanks. And one way to do that is by telling my story. What the Our Lady has done for me is so gre

#28 Christian Fortitude - Be Frank with God Apr 25, 2023 00:29:59 In this podcast, we reflect on the virtue of fortitude as the motivation to overcome temptation. St. Josemaria Escriva tells us that “a task which presents no difficulties lacks human appeal – and supernatural appeal too. If you find no resistance when hammering a nail into a wall, what can you expect to hang on it?” (The Forge, no. 245). In order to win the prize, you cannot dodge the fight that

#24 Lent - Be Frank with God Feb 16, 2023 00:30:07 “Lent should suggest to us these basic questions: Am I advancing in my faithfulness to Christ, in my desire for holiness, in a generous apostolate in my daily life, in my ordinary work among my colleagues? Each one of us, silently, should answer these questions, and we will see that we need to change again if Christ is to live in us, if Jesus’ image is to be reflected clearly in our behaviour.” (C

#23 Freedom - Be Frank with God Jan 30, 2023 00:30:01 God wants us to cooperate with him in this task which he is carrying out in the world. He takes a risk with our freedom. I am deeply moved by the Jesus born in Bethlehem: a defenceless, powerless child, incapable of offering any resistance. God gives himself up to men; he comes close to us, down to our level. As St. Paul says: ”Though he was in the form of God, he did not count equality with God a

#22 Christmas - Be Frank with God Dec 22, 2022 00:30:05 Every time Christmas comes around, I love to look at representations of the child Jesus. Statues and pictures which show a God who lowered himself remind me that God is calling us. The Almighty wants us to know that he is defenseless, that he needs men's help. From the cradle at Bethlehem, Christ tells you and me that he needs us. He urges us to live a christian life to the full — a life of self‑s

#20 Purgatory- The Mercy of God - Be Frank with God Nov 11, 2022 00:29:59 Purgatory is a manifestation of God's mercy who wishes for us the best in heaven. Purgatory shows God's great mercy and washes away the defects of those who long to become one with Him (Furrow, 889). The holy souls in purgatory. Out of charity, out of justice, and out of excusable selfishness—they have such power with God!—remember them often in your sacrifices and in your prayers. May you be able

#19 Life comes after Death - Be Frank with God Nov 1, 2022 00:30:02 Have you heard how sadly the worldly-minded lament that “Each day that passes is to die a little”? Well, I say to you: rejoice, apostolic soul, because each day that passes brings you closer to Life. The Way 737

#18 Looking at Life through Jesus' Eyes - Be Frank with God Oct 13, 2022 00:30:19 Looking at Life through Jesus' Eyes

#17 Order: The Way to Heaven - Be Frank with God Sep 16, 2022 00:30:08 One of the traits of a mature personality is the ability to combine intense activity with order and interior peace. Achieving this equilibrium requires real effort. Saint Josemaria once told someone who mentioned the difficulties his work presented for looking after his own formation: “I would like to see you inside this cassock! I also have to do multi-tasking. On top of this disorder we have to

#16 Our Participation in the Mass - Be Frank with God Aug 30, 2022 00:30:05 The humility of Jesus: in Bethlehem, in Nazareth, on Calvary. But more humiliation and more self-abasement still in the Sacred Host: more than in the stable, more than in Nazareth, more than on the Cross. That is why I must love the Mass so much ('Our' Mass, Jesus...) (The Way, 533)

#15 What is the Mass - Be Frank with God Aug 19, 2022 00:30:19 “I have always taught you, my beloved daughters and sons, that the root and the center of your spiritual life is the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar.” Saint Josemaría Escrivá’s words and writings constantly pointed to the Eucharist as the center and root of Christian life. A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to 'live' the Mass with calm and serenity, with devo

#14 Examination of Conscience - Be Frank with God Aug 2, 2022 00:30:00 Points on Examination of Conscience from The Way by St. Josemaría Escrivá 235 Examination of conscience: a daily task. Book-keeping is never neglected by anyone in business. And is there any business worth more than the business of eternal life? 236 At the time of examination beware of the devil that ties your tongue. 237 Examine yourself: slowly, courageously. Is it not true that your bad humour

#13 Divine Filiation (Part 2) - Be Frank with God Jul 7, 2022 00:30:00 Through this gift of divine filiation, Christ completely destroyed the barriers that separate men from one other by bridging the distance between heaven and earth and between his creatures. God came so close to man as to become one of us. By taking on our nature, the Word joined human and divine in himself. Now, as St. Paul says, "there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor freeman, neither

#12 Divine Filiation - Be Frank with God Jun 30, 2022 00:30:01 “I am happy…for I see that the Lord is seeking me again, that the Lord is still my Father. We are loved by God, and we will let the Holy Spirit act in us and purify us, so that we can embrace the Son of God on the cross, and rise with him, because the resurrection is rooted in the cross” (Christ is Passing By, no. 66).

#11 Apostolate - Be Frank with God Jun 30, 2022 00:30:01 Meditate with St. Josemaría An apostle — that is what a Christian is, when he knows that he has been grafted onto Christ, made one with Christ, in baptism. He has been given the capacity to carry on the battle in Christ's name, through confirmation. He has been called to serve God by his activity in the world, because of the common priesthood of the faithful, which makes him share in some way in

#10 Beginning Again - Be Frank with God Jun 20, 2022 00:29:59 "Spiritual life is - and I repeat this again and again, on purpose - a constant beginning and beginning again. Beginning again? Yes. Every time you make an act of contrition - and you should make many every day - you begin again, because you offer a new love to God." (St. Josemaría, The Forge, 384)

#9 Poverty And Detachment - Be Frank with God Jun 8, 2022 00:30:01 Below are some quotes from the published works of Saint Josemaria that show his love for the virtue of poverty. Talking to God Aren’t you glad to feel the poverty of Jesus so close to you? How splendid it is to be lacking even what is necessary! But as He did, it must be borne silently and unnoticed. The Forge, “Work,” no. 732 You tell me that you want to practice holy poverty, you want to be deta

#4 Faith - Be Frank with God May 24, 2022 00:29:59 I had always heard about the importance of knowing the faith, of having faith, of keeping the faith. Isn’t that what grandmothers used to say when things weren’t going so well? At least mine did. My grandmother’s name was Juana, but she could easily have been called Faith.During the first years of my life — those years when, they say, one’s personality is formed — my grandmother taught me to pray,
