Life Matters – Protect Your Joy: Faith, Dating, and Self-Mastery – Dr Aoife Collins & Fr Fergal Cummins

from Radio Maria Ireland · host Radio Maria Ireland

Aoife Collins marks her 100th episode of Life Matters with Fr Fergal Cummins, a Tullamore priest working on a book about habits and discipline called Protect Your Joy and Train Like a Monk. The conversation moves from his path into the priesthood and the prayer groups he has built in his parish into blunter territory: righteous anger, the widening gap between young men returning to faith and young women drifting from it, and his frank views on when a man should propose. Along the way, Mike Tyson's old training routine turns out to be exactly the kind of discipline he thinks Christians are missing.
