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 chapter nine of this episode, we see that the main enemy of peace of soul is over reliance on self. St Peter is the great example of this. He promised Our Lord that he would die before denying Him. And yet, that very night, St Peter denied knowing Christ three times. The fundamental problem in the spiritual life is attachment to our own wills, attachment to self. Yes, we need to be detached from the things of this world. We cannot make anything of this world into our ultimate good. But whenever we love something too much, we love it for someone. That someone is ourselves!
