Episode 157 -- Life of St Philip XIII.157 -- What is Magnanimity?
Lectio et Oratio - A podcast by Fr Michael Eades of the Toronto Oratory
Categories:
We read about St Philip's closeness to Pope Gregory XIV and many leading Cardinals. But we saw how magnanimous St Philip was. He was "great (magna) spirited (anima), great-souled." He wanted to do great things for the Lord. He did not consider the favour or men, even Popes, to be truly great. His heart was set on heaven. His heart was set on loving God and living for his glory. Let us pray for the same grace!
