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.

Are there conditions of heart for praying well? Yes!
In this episode we will look the first three conditions that our hearts need in order to pray well:
- desire — and the ways to grow in desire for prayer
- confident faith that God can help us; and
- the right motive, viz., to do the will of God.
Last episode we read a really short passage that connected Prayer to the other three weapons of the spiritual combat. Prayer is the greatest and most important weapon. By prayer we can obtain distrust of self, trust in God, and the right use of our faculties to grow in virtue. Prayer is the channel of all graces. “A man without prayer,” St. Philip Neri used to say,“ is like an animal without reason.”
