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

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #012: Follow the Good Shepherd Or Else!
In this episode Father discusses the feast of Good Shepherd Sunday with particular emphasis on the Good Shepherd Discourse from the Gospel of Saint John. When a sheep demonstrates the habit of wandering off from the flock a shepherd will break its legs and carry it for two weeks (during which time that lamb or sheep will learn the voice of the shepherd up close and personal). Let us all pay spiritual heed to the teachings of the Good Shepherd lest something unfortunate happen to our soul!
