Image
The cross is the gift God gives to his friends.
Philip Neri
Image
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
Image
At communion we ought to ask for the remedy of the vice to which we feel ourselves most inclined.
Philip Neri
Image
There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.
Philip Neri
Image
Let us be humble and keep ourselves down: - Obedience! Humility! Detachment!
Philip Neri

To be without pity for other mens falls, is an evident sign that we shall fall ourselves shortly.
Philip Neri
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
Philip Neri
Image
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
Image
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
Image
A joyful heart is more easily made perfect than a downcast one.
Philip Neri
Image
There is nothing the devil fears so much, or so much tries to hinder, as prayer.
Philip Neri
Image
The best way to prepare for death is to spend every day of life as though it were the last.
Philip Neri
Image
As soon as we are stripped of the sordid garb of avarice, we shall be clothed with the royal and imperial vest of the opposite virtue, liberality.
Philip Neri
Image
Without mortification nothing can be done.
Philip Neri
Image
Not to know how to deny our soul its own wishes, is to foment a very hot-bed of vices.
Philip Neri
Image
First let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.
Philip Neri
Image
The great thing is to become Saints.
Philip Neri
Image
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.
