Episode 42 -- Life of St Philip IV.42 -- Combining Prayer and Visits to the Sick

We will read about how St Philip sent his spiritual children to the Roman hospitals. He wanted them to do the most humbling and servile work for those who were sick. It did not matter how wealthy they were or how refined had been their upbringing. St Philip urged them to the care of the sick and lonely.

Last episode read about St Philip's longing to form Christ in others. He wanted them to become not just keepers of the commandments and followers of Jesus, but truly devout. He urged them to prayer, frequenting the sacraments, and other works of devotion. Everyday he tried to gather men to explain the Word of God to them.
