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 58 Thomas a Kempis speaks about the need to limit our desire to understand things that are beyond us. Two things are singled out as dangerous for us to seek to understand. The first is the ultimate reason why certain trials occur. The Lord gives us some understanding, but what he wants more than are academic discussions of his ways of acting is a loving acceptance of his mysterious will. The second issue to avoid speculating about is the relative greatness of the saints. In heaven, they do not compare themselves to each other. They are too busy lost in the life of the Trinity, too busy loving and being loved. Let us imitate them even now.
