Episode 50 -- Life of St Philip V.50 -- Talking from the Book and Aiming at Devotion

Did St Philip always do the same things with his followers?

No. We will see how St Philip continued to adapt his practices to the changing number of people who were coming to him for spiritual help. In this episode we read about the introduction of the practice of talking from the book. St Philip would have someone read from a spiritual book and then discourse on its meaning. Afterwards, he would lead them out to sing the divine office with one of the religious orders.
