Feast of Saint Josemaria Escriva
In Your Presence - A podcast by Eric Nicolai
Categories:
The opening prayer for today’s feast has to squeeze the spirit of Saint Josemaria and all his dreams into one simple and brief Collect. It is hard to reduce something you love and have dedicated yourself to just a few words. But this collect is like the directors cut, approved and vetted by our holy mother the church. "O God, who raised up your priest Saint Josemaría in the Church to proclaim the universal call to holiness and the apostolate, grant that by his intercession and example we may, through our daily work, be formed in the likeness of Jesus your Son and serve the work of redemption with burning love." Preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre, on June 26, 2022. Music: Lauda Jérusalem (Psalm 147) - Choir of Blessed Pier Giorgio – Aumônerie de Nantes, France. Mélodie : Théodore DECKER. Harmonisation : Pierre BAGNERIS. Director : Cécile DUVIVIER. Sung online on Palm Sunday 2020. Thumbnail: From a children's book by Miguel Ángel Cárceles; Isabel Torra, "Historia de un sí.
