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.

We read about a man who was offended, scandalized, by the way St Philip was light hearted. To be scandalized is to be "tripped up" in one's spiritual life. In this case, however, the person should not have been scandalized. He had a very narrow view of what holiness is. He judged St Philip as not being spiritual because he did not conform to his own inexperienced view of the life of grace. St Philip read his soul when he came to confession. He encouraged him to confess all his sins in confession. Come, Holy Spirit, help us be pure in heart to celebrate Christmas!
