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.

How do we both wait on the Lord and seek the Lord? (continued)
In this episode we will be reading more from chapter 7 of A Treatise on Peace of Soul. Fr Scupoli encourages the practice of using our minds, our intellects, to seek God, to pursue Him. Fr Scupoli gives us three warnings about mistaken ways of thinking about God: using purely human concepts, using comparisons that limit God’s unbounded greatness, and thinking of God as able to be divided. He then encourages us to ponder God’s immensity, unity, and power. Fr Scupoli thinks that we can form a limited, but fruitful notion of God. He gave us minds to know Him with and to ponder his omnipresence and his presence in our souls. Remember: God enjoys dwelling in us. The One we are seeking is already present within! Finally, Fr Scupoli shows us the goal of seeking God. The goal is finding and enjoying Him!
