The Interior Struggle. Are you at War?

Preaching at St. Mark's parish in Stouffeville, Ontario, Fr. Eric Nicolai speaks about the nature of the interior struggle, or the Spiritual Combat, an expression coined by Lorenzo Scupoli, but which goes back to St. Paul, and Our Lord himself. Music from Handel, Lascia che io pianga, classical guitar played by Bert Alink. Thumbnail: Horace Vernet painting: La Bataille du Pont d'Arcole (1826).
