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 do we fight against temptations to impurity?
Last episode we read Fr Scupoli’s advice about dealing with sudden strong desires. He gave advice in the following areas:
-
Know your predominant passion…
-
Think ahead about where and with whom you will be and interact…
-
Beg God’s help…
-
Encourage yourself when these arise…
-
Know that God allows the perfect crosses for each of us…
-
Keep in mind the root causes of these strong emotions,
-
our attachment to things
-
our antipathy towards someone (strong feeling of dislike of a person and everything he or she does)…
-
In this episode, we look at one of the most famous chapters in the book. Fr Scupoli gives advice on what to do before we are tempted to unchastity, during, and after the temptation.
