Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #026: Absolution and Discernment of Vocations

[Direct link to the MP3 file — Subscribe using a modern podcast app]

In this episode Father addresses two questions: practical advice for teenagers seeking to know their vocation and advice and encouragement for those trapped in a particular sin, the reasons for a priest to delay absolution, the remedies that can be applied to overcome a sin into which one relapses, and the need to pray for priests and politely encourage them to read the writings of Saint Alphonsus.

Remedies for impurity:

  1. Receive Holy Communion everyday, only if you are in the state of grace.
    Do spiritual communions, as often as possible.
  2. Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary:
    • Consecrate yourself to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
    • Pray the Rosary daily for purity.
    • Say three Hail Mary’s on your knees — with your hands under your knees — for purity.
    • Wear the Scapular.
    • Call on Our Lady immediately when tempted (Saint Alphonsus says it is an infallible sign that you will not fail if you call on Our Lady!).
    • Pray that the Blessed Virgin Mary will grant you the efficacious grate that you will have a deep hatred for sins of impurity, and that you would rather die in the state of grace than to ever commit a mortal sin.
  3. Pray to Blessed Virgin Mary to find a steady faithful confessor, who can help, and go to every week.
  4. Meditate on one of the four last things every day: death, judgement, hell and heaven.
  5. Practice the presence of God at all times. He knows every thought and deed you do and can strike you dead in your sins.
  6. Avoid all occasions of sin. Avoiding everything that cuts us off from God’s friendship: tv, internet porn, bad company etc…
  7. Temperance in food and drink. Practice interior an exterior penance.
  8. Dress modestly.
  9. Practice custody of eyes.
  10. Take a grain of exorcised salt when tempted.

No one falls who practices all of the above! You must do all of the above, the only exception is #1 if you are not in the state of grace.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #018: Springboard into Mental Prayer

[Direct link to the MP3 file — Subscribe using a modern podcast app]

In this episode we return to the topic of Mental Prayer with specific emphasis on how to start mental prayer. Much of the content in this episode is taken from Saint Peter Alcantara’s excellent work “A Golden Treatise on Mental Prayer” and discusses how to get going with mental prayer and sources of meditations. This is an essential daily practice in the quest for spiritual perfection and holiness, without which it will be far harder to embrace the crosses God sends us, the crosses that will draw us closer to Him and sanctification.
