Holiness in your State of Life - The Inner Life - January 23, 2026

The Inner Life

Fr. Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Holiness in your State of Life * (4:17) who was Saint Francis de Sales? * Introduction to the devout life, How can you be holy in the world? (18:26) Break 1 * What are ways lay people can become holy? * How does God multiply your time when you devote some to him? * (34:34) Norb - Suggestion to multitask with prayer. That's what I do. * Robin - I joined the Guard of the Sacred Heart. I get up and whatever hour it is, I will go through that process. I say the precious blood devotion, and after that, I go to the Legion of Mary, Rosary, and I do my best to go to Mass/adoration. (38:40) Break 2 * How is holiness a work of God first? * (43:00) Maria - My experience...we all struggle with prayer time. I humble myself and ask the Lord to organize my prayer time. * (46:11) Robert - St. Francis De Sales....been reading that over and over for years. What I still struggle with...what is my state in life? What does that mean and how does it correspond to my time in prayer? I feel like I'm always robbing my work and myself by studying an hour. * The four books which Father Illo recommends everyone reads.
