On our weekly podcast we share meditations given by priests who, in the spirit of St. Josemaria Escriva, offer points for reflection to guide you in your personal prayer and help you grow closer to God. The meditations are typically under 30 minutes so that you can take advantage of them during your time of prayer, commute, walk, lunch, or any time you want to listen to something good. The St. Josemaria Institute was established in 2006 in the United States to promote the life and teachings of St. Josemaria, priest and founder of Opus Dei, through prayer, devotions, digital and social media, and special programs and initiatives.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-28T20:18:35.085131+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/st-josemaria-institute-podcast-173226"},"episode":{"title":"Journey to the Manger with the Magi | The Fourth Week of Advent","slug":"journey-to-the-manger-with-the-magi-the-fourth-week-of-advent","published_at":"2025-12-16T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/st-josemaria-institute-podcast-173226/journey-to-the-manger-with-the-magi-the-fourth-week-of-advent","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/st-josemaria-institute-podcast-173226","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1862514/episodes/18339197-journey-to-the-manger-with-the-magi-the-fourth-week-of-advent.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1862514/episodes/18339197-journey-to-the-manger-with-the-magi-the-fourth-week-of-advent.mp3","summary":"In the fourth meditation of our Advent series, Fr.
