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.

What should we do when impure temptations attack us during our time of meditation?
Last episode we read Fr Scupoli’s advice on what to do at the time when we are tempted to unchastity.
He told us: determine the cause of the temptation.
-
From outside ourselves: another person, how we are dressed, certain conversations…etc
Remedy? RUN AWAY!
-
From inside: based on a life of over self-indulgence
Remedy? Practice self-denial
In general, for both causes, he said we have three basic remedies:
-
Serious application to our proper duties
-
Prayer: short prayers to Christ crucified or even (on some occasions) taking up a crucifix and kissing his wounds.
-
Meditation — spending time considering the LIFE AND DEATH of Christ
In this episode we will read about what to do when the temptations occur during our time of meditation. We will also read his short section on what to do after a victory over such temptations.
