19. The Interior Castle: Prayer and The Way of Perfection Jun 25, 2023

Fr. Reid examines St. Teresa's various forms of prayer and reminds us of a very important principle in the spiritual life: our growth in virtue and our faithfulness to prayer are corollaries. The more we pray, the more we grow in virtue. The more we grow in virtue, the more we will want to pray. Of course, the opposite is true as well. The less we pray, the less we will grow in virtue. And the more we grow in vice, the less we will want to pray.

17. The Imitation of Christ: A Sincere and Undoing Faith May 19, 2023

“Be not anxious, stand not to dispute with thy thoughts, nor to answer the doubts which the devil suggests. But believe the words of God, believe his saints and prophets, and the wicked enemy will fly from you. It is often very profitable to the servants of God to suffer such things, for the devil tempts not unbelievers and sinners whom he already surely possesses, but the faithful and devout he, in many ways, tempts and molests. Go forward, therefore, with a sincere and undoing faith. And with a humble reverence, approach this Sacrament. And whatsoever you are not able to understand, commit securely to almighty God. For God deceives thee not, but he is deceived who trusteth too much in himself.”

16. The Imitation of Christ: The Best and Fairest Room May 18, 2023

Book 4, Chapter 12 of The Imitation of Christ tells us how to properly prepare to receive the Holy Eucharist. "Shut out the whole world, and all the tumult of vices: sit like a sparrow solitary on the housetop, and think in your excess and in the bitterness of your soul. For every lover prepares the best and fairest room for his dearly beloved; and hereby is known the affection of him that entertains his beloved."

Fr. Robert Nixon thinks this section on the Blessed Sacrament is particularly important. "We need to try to put things in order. If we can imagine if we had a guest coming to our house, we would take care of things. And the example he gives of someone receiving a beloved. And you can imagine in the early stages of a romance and hopefully in married life, hopefully people take care that they're making a fitting dwelling place for the person who they love so much. And Christ, of course, we love above all other things. So can we beautify, can we put into order, can we clean up the chambers of our heart and soul so that we're ready to receive this most beloved of guests?"

14. The Imitation of Christ: Nature and Grace May 16, 2023

In Book 3, Chapter 58 of The Imitation of Christ, the idea of nature and grace is explored extensively. Fr. Robert Nixon says, “This is something which people who've studied theology will perhaps have thought about quite a lot, but other people maybe not so much. So the idea of this contrast or these two fortunes of nature and grace. So we do certain things by nature. It's within who we are, our created being, but we do things also by grace, which is something which comes from God above.

“Now, in talking about nature and grace, it's important not to make too hard a distinction between the two because in fact our nature comes from God as well. So it actually is a form of grace. So sometimes nature and grace are in opposition, but at the same time, we don't want to draw too strongly a dichotomy between them, which is what the Protestant traditions tend to do, making nature and grace in firm opposition, which of course is not the reality because God has given us our nature in order that we may glorify him.”

13. The Imitation of Christ: Day of Eternity May 15, 2023

"A most happy mansion of the city above, a most bright day of eternity, which knows no night," the disciple says, "But is always enlightened by Thy sovereign truth, a day, always joyful, always secure, and never changing in its state for the country. Oh, that this day would shine upon us, and all those temporal things would come to an end. It shines indeed upon the saints, resplendent with everlasting brightness. But to us pilgrims upon earth, it is seen only as far off and through a glass."

Fr. Robert Nixon thinks a lot of us struggle to think about Heaven in its fullness of glory. “I think we sometimes succumb to interpretations of Heaven that it's really only a metaphor to living a good life in this world,” Fr. Nixon comments. “There's a certain degree of truth in that idea, but it's very inadequate. It doesn't explain the great glories of Heaven, which are presented to us so vividly in the Bible, in the Book of Revelation, and elsewhere. But here we're asked, in briefer form but equally powerfully, to contemplate these glories of Heaven, which we see only vaguely in this present life, but which the saints enjoy to its fullness.”

13. The Interior Castle: Locutions, Raptures, and Ecstasies Jun 19, 2023

While the devil is able to counterfeit some things, he cannot reproduce the sense of peace and delight that come with authentic locutions. St. Teresa says that, in spiritual betrothal, God allows us to have raptures in order to draw us out of our faculties, and she parses out different types of raptures. The different things the Lord does to the raptured soul are remembered forever and are often beyond full articulation because they deal with the grandeur of God!

12. The Imitation of Christ: Freedom of Soul May 14, 2023

In Book 3, Chapter 38 of The Imitation of Christ, Christ says, “You must diligently make it your aim, that in every place and in every action or outward employment, you be inwardly free and master of yourself, and that all things be under you and not you under them, that you may be the Lord and ruler of your actions and not a slave or bondsman, but rather a free man.”

Fr. Robert Nixon comments, “This is a great call to freedom of soul. Freedom is something which perhaps we tend to think of in political terms as something associated with liberalism and so forth. But in fact, freedom of soul, true freedom is one of the foundational values of Christianity.”

11. The Imitation of Christ: My God and My All May 13, 2023

"My God and my all! Enough is said to Him that understands; and it is delightful to Him that loves to repeat it often. You give tranquility to the heart and great peace and pleasant joy. You make us to think well of all and praise You in all things, nor can anything without You afford any lasting pleasure.”

This exhortation from the disciple in Book 3, Chapter 34 of The Imitation of Christ inspired Fr. Robert Nixon to advise using the phrase, “My God and my all,” often in prayer. “I recommend perhaps trying to repeat that several times as a prayer or as a meditation at various moments throughout the day,” Fr. Nixon says, “to reflect on my God and my all, simply His greatness and glory and infinity and eternity without asking for anything, without asking for help, even without asking for mercy, but just pure reflection on that wonderful glory of God, which is pure love. He says that, speaking to God, ‘You make us to think well of all things and to praise all things.’ And this is a remarkable thing because I guess for most people, myself included, it's quite rare to be able to say that we think well of all things and think well of all people. We can probably think of at least half a dozen people who we don't think that well of."

10. The Imitation of Christ: Seek The Lowest Place May 12, 2023

Fr. Robert Nixon admits the idea of seeking the lowest place can be hard to understand. “This might sound a bit troubling,” Fr. Nixon says, “like when it says inferior does it mean we should try to be worse or less meritorious or less able than other people? That's not what it means in this context. Inferior means occupying a lower place in any given scale…But the fact is being higher in this scale doesn't actually make us any happier or any closer to God.”

True humility, Fr. Nixon goes on to add, is the opposite of what our modern world often encourages. “It's to our own peace if we can develop this inverse ambition, a contentment to take the lowest place unless we are called upon or there's a grave responsibility that asks us to do otherwise.”

Episode 10 of The Commentaries dives into Book Three of The Imitation of Christ, chapters 23-31.

10. The Interior Castle: The Silkworm, The Sleeping Soul, and Christ Jun 16, 2023

Fr. Reid also explains what St. Teresa means when she describes a soul in The 5th Mansions as a sleeping soul.

“Everything we ask for from God,” Fr. Nixon comments, “We should say, ‘God, if this is in accordance with Your will and Your will is my salvation and my ultimate good, so if it's what You want, let it be done.’ There's a certain amount of humility in this in giving up our own preferences, realizing that sometimes we can be mistaken about what's good for us and what's actually bad for us. A lot of the time the things which our hearts seem to want might actually be for our own final destruction, and, of course, we have no way of knowing it at the time.”

7. The Imitation of Christ: Walk Before Me in Truth May 09, 2023

An exchange in The Imitation of Christ between Christ and the soul, his disciple, stands out in episode seven of The Commentaries.

"Son, walk before Me in truth and always seek Me in the simplicity of thy heart.

If truth is on your side, you will be free from all anxiety and unconcerned at all that vain men can say against you."

Then the soul, the disciple, replies to Christ, "Lord, this is true as Thou say, so I beseech You. Let it be done with me. Let Your truth teach me. Let Your truth guard me and keep me till I come to a happy end. Let the same truth deliver me from all evil affections and all inordinate love, and I shall walk with the imperfect freedom of heart.”

6. The Imitation of Christ: Our Constant Companion May 08, 2023

"When Jesus is present, all things go well and nothing seems difficult. But when Jesus is absent, everything is hard. When Jesus speaks not within, our comfort is worthless. But if Jesus speaks but one word, we feel great consolation.”

That passage from The Imitation of Christ inspired Fr. Robert Nixon to offer this analogy.

“If a person had Superman as their butler and personal assistant, that would be a very kind of cool thing. But we've got here the invitation of having Jesus as our constant companion and friend and defender. And Jesus, of course, is an infinite being, infinitely powerful, much more than anything we could possibly imagine.”

5. The Imitation of Christ: With Simplicity and Purity May 07, 2023

"With two wings a man is lifted up above earthly things,” Thomas à Kempis writes in The Imitation of Christ. “That is, with simplicity and purity. Simplicity must be in the intention, purity in the affection. Simplicity aims at God, purity takes hold of him and tastes him. If you intend and seek nothing but the will of God and the prophet of thy neighbor, you shall enjoy eternal liberty.”

Fr. Robert Nixon elaborates on this idea in episode five of The Commentaries: The Imitation of Christ. “We can often find our lives and our minds and souls made complicated by the multitude of things we need to deal with,” Fr. Nixon says. "By the complex web of relationships in which we find ourselves. But he is telling us to try to keep ourselves simple and to keep life simple. And I think most people recognize that this is very useful advice."

4. The Imitation of Christ: Silence and Solitude May 06, 2023

We live in a world that thrives on constant stimulation. Even a monk in Western Australia, like Fr. Robert Nixon, isn’t immune to the noise.

“We've got, of course, many human and social distractions,” Fr. Nixon says. “And on top of this, there are a whole range of work demands, and then there's the whole electronic thing, which I guess as a monk I'm rather lucky to have to a much lesser extent to most people in the world.”

No matter what your station in life may be, the ability to pursue silence and solitude is highly meaningful. The following words from The Imitation of Christ might be more valuable today than when they were written more than 500 years ago.

“If thou wilt withdraw thyself from superfluous talk and idle visits, as also from giving ear to news and to reports, thou will find time sufficient and proper to employ thyself in good meditations."

Episode four of The Commentaries dives into Book One of The Imitation of Christ, chapters 20-25.

3. The Imitation of Christ: The Benefits of Adversity May 05, 2023

Sometimes what we perceive as the worst things in life turn out to be blessings.

The Imitation of Christ addresses the benefits of adversity. "It is good for us to have sometimes troubles and adversities, for they make a man enter into himself that he may know that he is in a state of banishment and may not place his hopes in anything of this world. It is good that we sometimes suffer contradictions and that men have an evil or imperfect opinion of us even when we do and intend well. These things are often helps to humility and defend us from vainglory."

Fr. Robert Nixon puts it like this, “These things, when we encounter these, can be good reminders that we don't want to put all our hopes on the things of this world because ultimately they're inconstant and deceptive.”

Episode three of The Commentaries dives into Book One of The Imitation of Christ, chapters 12-19.

1. The Imitation of Christ: Avoid Vanity, Seek Humility Apr 13, 2023

Fr. Robert Nixon begins The Commentaries with a self-examination on the virtue of humility.

“It is often said that humility is the foundation of all the other virtues. And in trying to become who or more than what God created us to be, we actually end up becoming less than what we could be.”

The following words of Thomas à Kempis in The Imitation of Christ drive home Fr. Nixon's point: "The more and the better thou knowest, the more heavy will be thy judgment unless thy life also be more holy. Be not therefore puffed up with any art or science, but rather fear upon account of the knowledge which is given."

The Commentaries is a podcast series from TAN in which you’ll learn how to read and understand history’s greatest Catholic works, from today’s greatest Catholic scholars. In every series of The Commentaries, your expert host will be your personal guide to not just read the book, but to live the book, shining the light of its eternal truths into the darkness of our modern trials and tribulations.

Hosted by Fr. Lawrence Carney III, the 8th season of The Commentaries explores The Story of a Soul by Saint Therese of Lisieux, the classic autobiography that conveys her “Little Way.” Fr. Carney delves into Therese's profound spirituality, her virtues of humility, and the importance of perseverance and piety. Discover why St. Therese has been called the greatest saint of modern times, and grow in holiness by exploring her unfailing confidence and childlike delight in God’s merciful love.

Father Lawrence Carney was ordained for the Diocese of Wichita in 2007. For five years, he walked the streets of US cities in cassock carrying a crucifix and a rosary in each hand in an effort to bring souls to the Catholic Church. In 2014, he was appointed as chaplain of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, where he presently serves. In 2017, he began the League of St. Martin, a pious association that prays for reverence, reparation, and reversion—the chief goals being enrollment in the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face and the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. He is the author of the TAN book, The Secret of the Holy Face.
