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":"The First Word: “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.”","slug":"the-first-word-father-forgive-them-they-know-not-what-they-do","published_at":"2026-02-17T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/st-josemaria-institute-podcast-173226/the-first-word-father-forgive-them-they-know-not-what-they-do","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/st-josemaria-institute-podcast-173226","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1862514/episodes/18659147-the-first-word-father-forgive-them-they-know-not-what-they-do.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1862514/episodes/18659147-the-first-word-father-forgive-them-they-know-not-what-they-do.mp3","summary":"In this first meditation of our Lenten series on the Seven Last Words of Christ, Msgr. Fred Dolan reflects on Jesus’ prayer from the Cross: “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.” These words, spoken amid suffering, awaken us to the reality of sin and the mercy Christ offers to us even in our blindness.
