Whose Approval Governs our Soul?

from Ave Maria in the Afternoon Segments · host Dr. Marcus Peter

Gregory the Great gives us an important exhortation in today’s Office of the Readings: Whose approval governs the soul when we are mocked? Do we do things for the love of God, or because we desire our own praise and adulation? If we aren’t careful, praise can very quickly become a drug to the soul and it can turn the soul away from the altar of God. Marcus has more. This is a public episode.
