More quotes by Philip Neri
In sickness we ought to ask God to give us patience, because it often happens, that when a man gets well, he not only does not do the good he proposed to do when he was sick, but he multiplies his sins and his ingratitude.
Philip Neri
He who wishes for anything but Christ, does not know what he wishes he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing.
Philip Neri

Philip Neri
Not to know how to deny our soul its own wishes, is to foment a very hot-bed of vices.
Philip Neri

Philip Neri
Heaven is not made for the slothful.
Philip Neri
My Jesus, if you uphold me, I shall not fall.
Philip Neri
Do not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.
Philip Neri
Let us pray God, if He gives us any virtue or any gift, to keep it hidden even from ourselves, that we may preserve our humility, and not take occasion of pride because of it.
Philip Neri
It is an old custom of the servants of God to have some little prayer ready and to be frequently darting them up to heaven during the day, lifting their minds to God out of the mire of this world.
Philip Neri
