If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a crucifix, and think that Christ has shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave his enemies, but prayed the Eternal Father to forgive them also.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
We must give ourselves to God altogether. God makes all his own the soul that is wholly given to him.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
He who does not go down into hell while he is alive, runs a great risk of going there after he is dead.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
The Lord grants in a moment what we may have been unable to obtain in dozens of years.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
We must never trust ourselves, for it is the devil’s way first to get us to feel secure, and then to make us fall.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
As to temptations, some are mastered by flying from them, some by resisting them, and some by despising them.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
