Episode 165 -- Life of St. Philip XIV.165 -- Joy and Peace and Prayer

Did the devil ever try to stop St Philip from praying?

Yes. We read about a little tactic the devil used to keep St Philip from praying. You might call it a dirty trick! We also read about a young wife who was very sick just after giving birth. Her husband persisted in getting St Philip to visit her. This story helps us see that while the devil tries to hinder prayer, other people can help us get closer to God.
