May 26th - Philip Neri

26/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Phillip's life is a statement to the power of both the laity and the clergy to bring about change.
When he started, he was a layman, zealous for the Faith; it was only after some ten years was he convinced that he should finish his studies to be more effective as a priest.
That said, he was effective enough as a layman to cause changes in Rome.
Once again the Spirit has seen fit to lose what I had written to remind me that my words are but straw. I leave it to you to learn more about this most wonderful saint.
I will end by saying that Philip reminds us to live out our vocation, to turn thoughts into action, and to do all things in charity, regardless of whether we are clergy, religious, or lay!


  • Men are generally the carpenters of their own crosses.
  • Let us strive after purity of heart, for the Holy Spirit dwells in candid and simple minds.

    Truth to Ponder

    I decided to spend a year thinking about  the Faith celebrated in the sanctoral calendar. There are also just some events, Scriptural, and other quotes that strike me on random days; or randomly on days, as the case may be.
    Of course it has become a continuous activity but the lesson is clear: learn the saints and you will learn salvation and peace.
