  • 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.

  • Roman Holy-Day 223
    ROMAN HOLY -DAY MARK BARRON, O.P. ERE one to draw up a kind of genealogical table of the saints of the sixteenth century he might well place the [I name of Saint Philip Neri as progenitor. Although born in Florence and living as a layman during the first thir­ ty-six years of his life, Philip is remembered as "the Apostle of Rome" and founder of the Oratory. Living between the years 1515-1595, this "funniest man in Rome" was father of "a numer­ ous progeny" of souls who have since been declared saints of God. Of the more than thirty-five eminently holy men and women who lived some space of their earthly lives during his eighty years Philip Neri was acquainted with ten. They were Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), Francis Xavier (1506-1552), Francis Borgia (1510-1572), Pius the Fifth (1504-1572), Charles Bor­ romeo (1538-1584), Alexander Sauli (1533-1592), Felix of Can­ talice (1513-1587), Catherine de Ricci (1522-1589), Camillus of Lellis (1550-1614) and Francis de Sales (1567-1622); and they may be said to constitute two distinct generations of saints. Saint Ignatius Loyola will ever be the patron saint of those who take their reading seriously and, in consequence, accom­ plish truly extraordinary things. Popular imagination likes to conceive of him as a not so "cheerful ascetic," militaristic and possessed of an unusually determined will. Philip Neri, like Francis Xavier and others, knew him as a friend who could upon occasion display a very human heart. The two met at Rome in 1537 while Philip was yet a layman and Ignatius was laying the foundations of the Company of Jesus.

  • TERESA of JESUS (Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582) Saint, Reformer of Carmel (D)
    TERESA OF JESUS (Teresa of Avila, 1515-1582) Saint, reformer of Carmel (D) I. Life. II. Writings and doctrine. III. Cult. IV. Iconography. I. LIFE. Teresa was born at Avila (Castile) on March 28, 1515, of Alphonse Sanchez de Cepeda and Beatrice de Ahumada, whose name she adopted. Provided with a pious education by her noble parents, Teresa, while she was still a child, was inspired by her reading of the lives of the saints to flee secretly with her young brother Roderic towards the «land of the Moors» (Life, 1, 4), in order to gain the palm of martyrdom. Her uncle surprised her at the gates of Avila and brought her back home; then she and her brother began imitating the life of the hermits of the desert (ib., 1, 6). Upon her mother's death (1529?) Teresa chose Our Lady for her mother (ib., 1, 5); however, she entered adolescence in a spiritual mediocrity that she was to regret for the rest of her life (ib., 1, 6). As a pupil with the Augustinian nuns of the monastery of St. Mary of Grace (1531), she regained her early fervor, but her weak health constrained her to leave (1532). Brought to Castellanos de la Canada (1533), a short while later she returned to Avila and asked her father's permission to join the Carmelite nuns of the Incarnation (ib., 3, 7). When she was refused, she fled from home on Nov. 22, 1535, and asked the Carmelites to accept her. She was accepted, did a year of postulancy, and on Nov.

  • Saint Philip Neri and the Priesthood Rev. Frederick Miller
    Saint Philip Neri and the Priesthood Rev. Frederick Miller Since his canonization in 1622, Saint Philip Neri has been considered a model of priestly life and holiness among the clergy of Italy. One might say that Saint Philip has there the popularity enjoyed by Saint John Vianney among diocesan priests in the United States. For a variety of reasons, Saint Philip has had little notoriety among priests in North America. However, there seems to be a change. Many priests and seminarians are reading biographies of the "Apostle of Rome" and envisioning his approach to the priesthood for themselves. The foundation of new Oratories of Saint Philip throughout the USA also indicates interest in the saint. This essay does not intend to be either a detailed biography of the saint or a treatise on priestly holiness as exemplified in the life of Saint Philip Neri. This composition emerged as random reflections on the saint for a seminarian, now a priest, who had discovered Saint Philip during his seminary years. I present it in this venue in the hope that more priests will find in Saint Philip Neri a congenial confrere in the priesthood and a model of priestly life and holiness. Might it not be said that an attraction to a particular saint has its origin above in the Holy Spirit and the intercession of God's holy ones? In his encyclical letter Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI pointed out that the saints continue to do in heaven what they had done on earth: "The lives of the saints are not limited to their earthly biographies but also include their being and working in God after death.
