  • Episode 130 -- Life of St Philip XI.130 -- Grace of Laughing at Oneself

    We read about a young fourteen year old boy who was dying of a terrible fever. For 17 days he had nothing to eat. People were amazed that he was still alive. St Philip was summoned. As he realized that God had heard their prayer, he even joked with his mother. The boy gradually got better. The Lord does not always change situations all at once. He sometimes does his works slowly.

    We read about St Philip's remarkable freedom of soul in dealing with the most difficult situations of chastity and human embarrassment. St Philip was gifted with remarkable chastity. He was given the true heart of a spiritual father.

    Last episode we read about another rather humorous episode in St Philip's life. A woman woke up feeling as though she were being slapped in the face by St Philip. He was telling her what a disgrace it was that she was not letting go of a family feud. By this strange grace, the woman was helped to let go of her anger.
