A new school year is beginning! In this episode, Fr. Kevin Dyer and Jess challenge listeners to make the phrase "Conquer Yourself" their motto for the year. Fr. Kevin and Jess discuss:

• One of the early biographers of St. Ignatius of Loyola stated that there was no phrase more commonly on the lips of St. Ignatius than "Conquer yourself!"
• God sometimes allows difficulties in our lives so that we have opportunities to conquer ourselves and grow in virtue.
• Practical ways to conquer yourself through the Examen prayer and other spiritual practices
