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.

Does our prayer have to use words?
In this episode we look at a special kind of prayer that stays within the mind (mens, mentis — Latin). Fr. Scupoli calls it mental prayer. This is a form of prayer that can be practiced in all the difficult situations of life and in all temptations. May the Holy Spirit help us to put into practice this profound chapter.
Last episode we finished talking about the basic conditions or requirements of efficacious prayer. Fr. Scupoli does not mean that we put conditions on God. He means that there are conditions IN US that must be met for our prayer to be heard. What must be true of our prayer, what requirements must be met or in place, if it will truly obtain its request?
