Quote/s of the Day – 26 May – St Philip Neri (1515-1595) Confessor
“ We must not be
behind time in doing good;
for death will not be
behind his time!”
“ It is well to choose
some one good devotion
and to stick to it
and never to abandon it.”
“Spiritual persons ought to be equally ready
to experience sweetness and consolation
in the things of God,
or to suffer and keep their ground
in drynesses of spirit and devotion,
and, for as long as God pleases,
without their making any complaint about it.”
“The Name of Jesus,
pronounced with reverence and affection,
has a kind of power to soften the heart.”
“Obedience is a short cut to perfection.”
Immaculate Virgin
By St Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Immaculate Virgin,
thou hast to save me.
Grant that I may always remember thee
and thou, do thou never forget me.
The happy day, when I shall go
to behold thy beauty in paradise,
seems a thousand years off.
So much do I long to praise and love thee
more than I can now do,
my Mother, my Queen,
my beloved, most beautiful,
most sweet, most pure,
Immaculate Mary.
Amen
