In this episode, Tom and Fr. Jenkins examine St. Francis de Sales’ Philothea, or An Introduction to the Devout Life: How a double-minded man is also a double-hearted man; why confession is so powerful and puts one on the path to a perfect love for God; the purgative way — how to break free from mortal sin and its imprisoning orbit; placing oneself in the presence of God before one prays; how meditation and prayer are intertwined; and lastly how Our Lord’s life is the textbook for our life.
