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 chapter 28, Thomas a Kempis encouraged us to look for peace within ourselves. This inward turn is not turning to ourselves but to the One who dwells in our hearts. By our baptism, we have becoming dwelling places of God in the Spirit. Christ and His Father have made their dwelling place in our hearts. The danger is that we look for our affirmation and self-worth primarily from the outside, from the words and actions of other human beings. Yes, we need human help and encouragement. But the true source of our peace and self-worth is found in God.
