Pope Francis recently published Gaudete et Exsultate, in English, “Rejoice and Be Glad”, a new Apostolic Exhortation “on the call to holiness in today’s world”. The title comes from Matthew 5:12, “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven”, an expression which follows the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-10) which are at the heart of this document.

At St. Thomas More Church, we have been studying this document. More details here.

Here are recordings of the discussions. I apologize that Week 1 is missing!

Chapter 2 – Two Subtle Enemies of Holiness

Chapter 3 – In the Light of the Master

Chapter 4 – Signs of Holiness in Today’s World 

Chapter 5 – Spiritual Combat

Here is the text from Galatians Chapter 5 which we used to reflect upon Pope Francis’ discussion of the influence of Satan:
