Father Martin Hilbert, a priest of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Toronto, preached three days of Lenten exercises at Saint Patrick's Basilica in March, 2010.

On March 7th, Fr. Hilbert preached at all the Sunday Masses (3rd Sunday of Lent). His homily dealt with the problem of evil in the world, the meaning of God's Holiness, and God's final answer to suffering.   Download mp3.

On March 8th Fr. Hilbert delivered a profound teaching entitled "The Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Wisdom". Although praised in Scripture (both New and Old Testaments), the concept of Fear of the Lord is scorned in our day; it fact it is replaced by other types of fear.   Download mp3.

On March 9th Fr. Hilbert gave another poignant teaching entitled "Perfect Love Casts Our Fear". In this sermon, Fr Hilbert reflects upon the steps to spiritual growth. He refers to several books on the subject including Spiritual Combat by Lorenzo Scupoli and Spiritual Combat Revisited by Jonathan Robinson.   Download mp3.
