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.

How does one reach the summit of Christian perfection?
We will begin reading chapter 1 of The Spiritual Combat, a major influence of St Francis de Sales. The beginning of this book is very powerful and memorable. In this episode, we will read about Fr. Scupoli's discussion of the true nature of spiritual perfection.
The Spiritual Combat focuses on the 4 spiritual weapons that we will need to be holy: distrust of self, trust in God, spiritual exercises, and prayer. The Spiritual Combat cannot be unread, after it is read. It leaves its mark.
Join us, if you are interested in being challenged and encouraged to live not only a devout life, but a life that aims at perfection in divine love.
