On the Feast of Blessed Alvaro del Portillo (Rebroadcast)

In our meditation of the week for the feast of Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, Fr. Javier del Castillo reflects on the life and virtues of the faithful successor of St. Josemaria Escriva, whom he affectionately nicknamed Saxum or rock in Latin.

Fr. Javier shares how the gift of fortitude, a fruit of the Holy Spirit, was powerfully present in Blessed Alvaro’s life and how we too are called to become “rocks”--dependable building blocks for the Church wherever God has placed us.

Listen now to reflect on:

• The meaning behind Blessed Alvaro’s nickname “Saxum”
• How the Holy Spirit strengthens us through the gift of fortitude
• Why faithfulness in ordinary life shapes us for holiness
• What Blessed Alvaro’s example teaches us about spiritual resilience
