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.

Episode 74 -- Imitation of Christ III.36 -- Against the Vain Judgements of Men

We read about how vain the judgements of men are. Vain means empty, pointless, unreliable. We should want to be like St Paul and be all things to all men. We should want to please people in the Lord. But we cannot please everyone. We cannot avoid people thinking badly of us and speaking badly of us. There are times to be silent in the face of criticism and times to break silence. In all situations, our eyes must be on the Lord who has the power to save us and to defend us. He knows all things. He is to be trusted.
