"These falls can be MOST CERTAINLY avoided when one knows how to use the precious balancing pole of the interior life. It is only the abandonment of this INFALLIBLE instrument that brings dizziness and the fatal false step into space." Part Three of this classic work by the French Trappist monk, Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), warns of the spiritual perils of an active life divorced from a deep interior life, while offering the assurance of grace and progress in virtue for those who root their work in prayer and union with God. Episode 3: Part Three 00:00 - Intro 00:52 - 1. Active Works, a Means of Sanctification for Interior Souls, Become, for Others, a Menace to their Salvation 14:07 - 2. The Active Worker Who Has No Interior Life 43:45 - 3. The Interior Life: Basis of the Holiness of the Apostolic Worker This work will be released in its entirety in episodic format.

"The life of action ought to flow from the contemplative life, to interpret and extend it, outside oneself, though at the same time being detached from it as little as possible." Part Two of this classic work by the French Trappist monk, Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), further explores the inseparable interdependence of the active and the interior lives—each depends upon, presupposes, and completes the other. Episode 2: Part Two 00:00 - Intro 00:46 - 1. The priority of the interior over the active life in the eyes of God   10:30 - 2. Good works should be nothing but an overflow from the inner life   16:36 - 3. Active works must begin and end in the interior life, and, in it, find their means   25:11 - 4. The active and interior lives are completely interdependent   36:22 - 5. The excellence of this union This work will be released in its entirety in episodic format.

God loves each of us uniquely and has specific work for us. Claire Dwyer joins Steve and Becky to discuss how we can cultivate an interior life that leads to understanding our mission.

"If God calls me to apply my activity not only to my own sanctification, but also to good works, I must establish this firm conviction, before everything else, in my mind: Jesus has got to be, and wishes to be, the life of these works. My efforts, by themselves, are nothing, absolutely nothing." Part One of this classic work by the French Trappist monk, Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), examines the relationship between exterior works and the interior life of the apostle, demonstrating how the fruitfulness of the former depends entirely upon the vitality of the latter. Episode 1: Part One 00:00 - Intro 00:38 - Prologue    05:50 - 1. God wants good works, and therefore zealous action   13:00 - 2. God wills that the life-principle of our works be Christ   20:59 - 3. What is the interior life?   42:58 - 4. Ignorance and neglect of this interior life   49:55 - 5. Is the interior life lazy?   01:04:06 - 6. Is the interior life selfish?   01:16:54 - 7. No conflict between the interior life and the salvation of souls This work will be released in its entirety in episodic format.

My guests for the month of September are from the Daughters of Saint Paul. Sister Kathryn Hermes, FSP, shares about a book called “The Bishop of the Abandoned Tabernacle,” by Victoria Schneider. The book is about a bishop who later became a saint whose experience before a deserted tabernacle was to mark his whole life. From that moment on he dedicated himself to spreading devotion to the Eucharist.   Sister Emily Beata Marsh, FSP, reflects about a second book, called “Worshipping a Hidden God: Unlocking the Secrets of the Interior Life,” by Archbishop Luis Martinez, who shows you how to enter into an intense, sustained communion with God.  We hope that, by listening to this podcast, you will be inspired to read these books.   To check out more books on the Catholic faith and religious items of interest at the Pauline Books and Media Center at 1025 King Street in Alexandria, please click here.

The NEED for a life of prayer.

Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 3) Do you remember Jesus and what he did?  The most consistent word Mary had spoken to Fr. Jeremiah, was "remember". When we don't know what to do or how to act, Mary tells us to remember her son, Jesus' actions, that was the case for Fr. Jeremiah and this is an invitation that extends to all of us. There is a richness and importance that Mary plays, for us not to have her be a part of our spiritual life.  We are invited to remember Jesus' constant presence, love, and grace in this episode. Let's allow Mary to teach us to remember Jesus and what he did—to remember Him as Mary did.

Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 2) Is your prayer and your life two separate realities?  Mary gives us a ton of hope that the grace of God and the Holy Spirit meet us in reality.  The Marian posture at the core of it is about the reality of the fullness of God. Mary teaches us that The best place to live your spiritual life is in reality—in where you are right now in this moment. It's about living one reality in the presence of God. This episode is an invitation for us to have confidence in the daily bread and the grace given to us here and now. Let's not spend our time fantasizing about the change out there but try and respond as best as possible to what's currently there. Let's engage every part of our reality with the Lord while having a deep sense of his love and attentiveness as we respond in those moments.  The Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount.

Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 1) How important is Mary, Our Lady, in your spiritual life?  Our Lady is a real woman, a real mother to all of us and Mary's intercession is actually more real than we realize.  The gift of Our Lady is that she looks upon us, she knows our hearts, and her gaze can be the first safe and secure place in a world of filled insecurity. At this same moment, Mary wants us to look upon her and it is in this exchange where we find safety and security in our lives through a contemplative experience with her. In this episode, as we start our mini-series on Fr. Jeremiah's book, we are going to talk about Mary—a real mom, an invitation to gain a different understanding of Mary and learn about the importance of viewing the world through her eyes.
