Friends of the Rosary,

Today, Memorial Day in the U.S., is the Feast Day of St. Philip Neri (1515-1595), a gracious, cheerful priest who was Rome’s apostle of the sixteenth century, one of the Eternal City’s patron saints.

He was a great educator of youth, spent whole nights in prayer, had a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, and burned with an unbounded love for mankind.

As a confessor, he was in great demand; among his penitents were St. Ignatius of Loyola and Charles Borromeo.

St. Philip founded the Congregation of the Oratory, a society of secular clergy without religious vows.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
