Reading Ignatius ”Rule 3” DMP005

Saint Ignatius is super practical, clear, and offers a whole series of rules for living a spiritual life. Here is rule 3. For a good intro that can influence your life, try Fr. Gallagher's Discernment of Spirits. https://a.co/d/g1raKaz If you like these episodes, please subscribe. Many more are on the way! Support me: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/deaconmike

Reading Teresa of Avila Mansions DMP 003

St. Teresa of Avila, a doctor of the church, has a lot to say about prayer. She was a very clear teacher and based her ideas about prayer and spirituality upon her own life. Her witness of the way God activates supernatural virtues in us, of the way He seeks to reside within us, is outstanding. A good place to start is The Way of Perfection: tinyurl.com/5d6y2hyu

Reading St. Augustine DMP 001

Off and on, we'll return to St. Augustine. My readings will come from the 2nd edition translation by Frank Sheed, from Hackett Publishing, used with their kind permission. I highly recommend the Sheed translation. Others don't have the "feel" of Augustine's poetry, in my experience. Of course, YMMV. A highly recommended source that shows off the Doctor of Grace in his variety as a bishop would be: https://www.amazon.com/Augustine-His-Words-William-Harmless/dp/0813217431
