It was a delight to talk once again to Dr. Kevin Vost. In his new book Three Irish Saints: A Guide to Finding Your Spiritual Style, he brings forward of 3 incredible saints who can help us bring about a greater awareness of ourselves, as well as bringing us closer to our relationship with God. Dr. Vost is a psychologist, and physical fitness expert who examines the lives of these three great saints reveals their gifts and virtues. He then explores the question: Are you a thinker, a doer, or a lover? Included is a simple self-test to find out which spiritual master you are most like. I was well aware of St. Patrick, knew much about St. Brigid, but was knew nothing about St. Kevin, but the list doesn't stop there, Dr. Vost brings the lives of other Irish saints as well. A fun and fascinating read. The post Dr. Kevin Vost – Three Irish Saints on Inside the Pages with Kris McGregor appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

"Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from St. Thomas Aquinas" by Dr. Peter Kreeft is outstanding! An incredible work that transforms the potentially intimidating Summa Theologiae into a vital life-giving, soul-nurturing work for the pilgrim soul.   Dr. Kreeft offers us the religious wisdom of Aquinas in 359 bite-size pieces that can aid our growth in holiness.  He has framed these readings as answers to questions that people actually ask their spiritual directors. Each answer is taken word for word from Aquinas.  So many topics are covered.  You'll be returning to this book over and over again throughout your spiritual journey.  An excellent gift to give yourself and those you love!  Highly Recommended!!!

On October11, 2012, I began recording a new series that will soon begin airing on Discerning Hearts with Dr. Adrian Walker, which we recorded at "Casa Balthasar", a house of discernment for men located in Rome, Italy, where he was offering instruction. Adrian served as the English translator of Pope Benedict XVI's book "Jesus of Nazareth" . With the historic events occurring with the Synod on the New Evangelization and start of the Year of Faith, we took some time aside to discuss the book and the influence of our Holy Father.

With Fr. Gary Caster, we discuss "Joseph - The Man Who Raised Jesus". Thanks to his mother's encouragement, Fr. Gary received a rich devotion to the "silent" man who witnessed the faith in an extraordinary way. He shares personal stories, passages from Scripture, and teachings from the Catechism of the Catholic Church to demonstrate what a model of virtue and a protector of the Church and family, St. Joseph is in our lives today. Another wonderful work by Fr. Gary Caster. Good St. Joseph, pray for us! The post IP#245 Fr.
