Celebrating the 509th Anniversary of St. Philip Neri's Birth | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This week, the Church celebrates the 509th anniversary of St. Philip Neri's birth. The saint was one of the pivotal figures who aided in the resurgence of Rome and the Church in the 16th century, and to this day, his legacy lives on through the oratory he founded. St. Philip Neri had a special talent for talking to people. He could convert good conversations into good works. Philip led by example. He tended to the poor, sick and abandoned. He would also organize pilgrimages and passionately proclaim the Word of God to all. Many admired Philip for his deep love for Christ and for souls. In fact, an autopsy at his death would later reveal that his heart had been physically enlarged and that two of his ribs had been broken to make room for it.
