St Philip Neri in the 16th century would gather those each day who were desirous of seeking Christian perfection. He would read from a spiritual book and then discourse on the meaning of what was read. This podcast (and the nightly prayer group from which it springs) seeks to carry on St Philip’s method of helping people become holy, even saints, in their own homes.

What is the most important thing to do in life?
Imitate Christ. As we begin this new book, on the Solemnity of St Joseph, the man who most imitated Christ, we will begin to read Thomas a Kempis' Imitation of Christ. Many saints, for example, St Therese of Lisieux, used to read a chapter every day. She is said to have many parts memorized. This book was used by St Philip himself during his sessions of talking on the book with his disciples. We begin book 1 in this episode, a book dedicated to "practical advice for following Christ." May St Joseph be with us all.
