Morning Prayer - THURSDAY, 26 May 2022

LISTEN | Morning Prayer - May 26, 2022 | Memorial of St. Philip Neri, priest

"As the Father loves me, so I also love you; remain in my love, says the Lord, alleluia" - Jn 15:9

St. Philip Neri (1515-1595) was born in Florence and died in Rome. This gracious, cheerful saint was Rome's apostle of the sixteenth century. A peculiar charism was his burning love of God, a love that imperceptibly communicated itself to all about him. So ardently did this fire of divine love affect him during the octave of Pentecost in his twenty-ninth year that the beating of his heart broke two ribs. It was a wound that never healed.

May God graciously grant that the Holy Spirit may kindle in us that fire which he wonderfully filled the heart of St. Philip Neri. Let us join the People of God in offering to the Lord our Morning Praise through the ancient tradition of Lauds.
