More quotes by Philip Neri
Without mortification nothing can be done.
Philip Neri
Not to know how to deny our soul its own wishes, is to foment a very hot-bed of vices.
Philip Neri
We must sometimes bear with little defects in others, as we have, against our will, to bear with natural defects in ourselves. If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects.
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
Let us think, if we only got to heaven, what a sweet and easy thing it will be there to be always saying with the angels and the saints, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus.
Philip Neri
The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.
Philip Neri
The best way to prepare for death is to spend every day of life as though it were the last.
Philip Neri
They who have been exercised in the service of God for a long time, may in their prayers imagine all sorts of insults offered to them, such as blows, wounds, and the like, and so in order to imitate Christ by their charity, may accustom their hearts beforehand to forgive real injuries when they come.
Philip Neri
My Jesus, if you uphold me, I shall not fall.
Philip Neri
Give me ten truly detached men. and I will convert the world with them.
Philip Neri

Philip Neri
Heaven is not made for the slothful.
Philip Neri
The great thing is to become Saints.
Philip Neri
There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.
Philip Neri
The man who loves God with a true heart, and prizes him above all things, sometimes sheds floods of tears at prayer, and has in abundance of favours and spiritual feelings coming upon him with such vehemence, that he is forced to cry out, Lord! let me be quiet!
Philip Neri
There is nothing the devil fears so much, or so much tries to hinder, as prayer.
Philip Neri
During mental prayer, it is well, at times, to imagine that many insults and injuries are being heaped upon us, that misfortunes have befallen us, and then strive to train our heart to bear and forgive these things patiently, in imitation of our Saviour. This is the way to acquire a strong spirit.
Philip Neri
We must not trust in ourselves, but take the advice of our spiritual father, and recommend ourselves to everybodys prayers.
