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 this episode we read about St Philip's discernment that one of the two friends of his who were going to join the Dominicans would leave. St Philip said that this young man, Francesco, would return to Egypt. In other words, he would return to the land he had been in under the slavery of this world. St Philip thought that the consecrated life of the religious orders, with their vows of poverty, celibacy, and obedience, was one of the greatest graces the Blessed Virgin Mary obtains for those devoted to her. But St Philip did not think the religious life was right for all people. In our big decisions, let us learn to turn to St Philip for advice. Let us keep a picture of him in our rooms.
