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 are the main ways to combat SLOTH?
Last episode we began speaking of the vice of SLOTH.
Sloth is a disordered desire for peace and rest and ease. Sloth (acedia, accidie) is a spiritual sadness about the effort required to be close to God. Fr Scupoli urges us to the following:
- Avoid escaping sadness by curiosity, vain amusements, all kinds of things that have nothing to do with our state in life.
- Comply with all the things God asks of us, in the right TIME and MANNER!
- Hide from ourselves many of the difficulties we will face.
In this episode we will look more deeply at this vice of Sloth.
