The Life of St. Philip Neri
The Life of St. Philip Neri From Florence to Rome Filippo Romolo Neri was born in Florence on July 21, 1515, the son of Francesco, a notary (although not a particularly successful one), and Lucrezia. He had two sisters - one older, one younger - and a brother who died in infancy. Philip’s mother died when he was only five years old. Little is known of Philip’s childhood, other than a few amusing anecdotes and an account of a miracle. Apparently, young Philip playfully jumped on the back of a donkey laden with produce, leading them both to fall down a flight of steps into a cellar, with Philip at the bottom of the pile. He always praised God for having preserved him from harm. Philip was known as “Pippo Buono” - “Good Little Phil” - for his good behavior and jovial spirit. His early spiritual formation came from the Dominicans at San Marco, where he walked among the frescoes of Fra Angelico and was inspired by the memory of the reformer Savonarola. At the age of 18, Philip left Florence forever. His father sent him to live with his father’s cousin, Romolo, a childless merchant, in San Germano. He furthered his formation by frequenting the Benedictine abbey at Monte Cassino. Philip remarked later that he could have been a rich man if he wanted to, but it didn’t take him long to realize that business and worldly pursuits were not his calling. Drawn ever deeper into relationship with Christ, Philip desired to serve Him unreservedly. Moving on from any ties to his family, Philip headed for Rome on what would turn out to be a one-way trip.

Each share their perspective of how accompaniment has taken shape in their life. Watch at: www.cam.org.au/lifemarriagefamily W INTRODUCTION e all come from a family. Whether we are married, Wsingle, widowed, divorced, consecrated or in the priestly ministry, we all have a role to play in strengthening and encouraging families and understanding the depth of its mission for the Church and for society. In March 2016, Pope Francis released his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, the Joy of Love. It followed a call from Pope Francis for bishops to reflect deeply on issues pertaining to marriage and the family with lay people in their dioceses. This consultation process, along with two Synods of the Family (in 2014 and 2015), allowed Pope Francis and the Church to examine marriage and the situation of families in today’s world and has raised a renewed awareness of the importance of marriage and the family.1 The Holy Father presents this Exhortation as an aid to reflection, dialogue and pastoral practice, and a help and encouragement to families in their daily commitments and challenges.2 The Exhortation invites us to value the gifts of marriage and the family and to be a sign of God’s love from both within, and through the family.
