On Detachment

The Catholic Man Show
About this episode

What is detachment? How do we grow in this virtue? What are ways that are opposed to this?

Three ways to grow in detachment:
  • Prayer
  • Acts of Charity
  • Mortification

Three ways vices operate to oppose simplicity:
  • Our passions
  • Regards to others
  • Reflecting upon ourselves for our own satisfaction

Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place

Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press! “I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints. In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.
