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.

In book 4, chapter 3, Thomas a Kempis stresses how the Eucharist is a remedy for our tendency to sin, our proclivity to sin. Baptism takes away original sin and all actual sins. Confession takes away sins committed after baptism. The Eucharist is Christ Himself. It contains the power to take away all sins. But it was not given to us as the means of forgiving serious sin. The Eucharist is a remedy against sin, however. It excites us to charity. By this charity, we are able to overcome and resist the pull to sin. The Eucharist keeps us from committing certain sins!
