Episode 16 – The Fourteenth Rule: 
Likewise, he behaves as a chief bent on conquering and robbing what he desires: for, as a captain and chief of the army, pitching his camp, and looking at the forces or defenses of a stronghold, attacks it on the weakest side, in like manner the enemy of human nature, roaming about, looks in turn at all our virtues, theological, cardinal and moral; and where he finds us weakest and most in need for our eternal salvation, there he attacks us and aims at taking us.

Your podcast help me to trusting my Lord in each aspect of my life. I was feeling desolate about my faith because of how my parish runs things. Listening to these rules help me to put my trust 100% in the Lord and not in people who is not giving him the proper glory he deserves. I now know that my job is to help others bring back their faith and fight back in an honor way not allowing the enemy to separate my parish people.
I have finally finished the 16th episode knowing that even if I follow these 14 rules and Spiritual Exercises & don’t do well, the key will be to NOT GIVE UP & NEVER LOSE HEART!
Also I must remember that in spite of “..trials & tribulations, I must BE OGF GOOD CHEER” John 16 33
My question is NOW WHAT? What do I do next?
