St. Philip Neri Comments
If one had to choose one saint who showed the humorous side of holiness that would Philip Neri. Born in 1515 in Florence, he showed the impulsiveness and spontaneity of his character from the time he was a boy. In fact one incident almost cost him his life. Seeing a donkey loaded with fruit for market, the little boy had barely formed the thought of jumping on the donkey's back before he had done it. The donkey, surprised, lost his footing, ...

I just read the life of St. Phillip Neri, his feast day is my birthday and i find that I am similar to this Saint; i like humor, i believe our God is a very humorous God and so I find humor in life's situations. I plan to continue along this path, and also to emulate some of the other areas such as doing things a little different and seeing how it makes me feel, but all in accordance with God's will, and for the upliftment of God's people and myself. Great article. God bless.
I was in search of the life story of my Patron Saint PHILIP NERI. I was delighted to find the information.Kindly add some photograph of his. Thank you verymuch.
Saint Phillip Neri has inspired me to always remain humble and be close to God.
This website encourages my family and me to read about the lives of all the saints and try to lead a life like them.
i am proud that i added his name to my confirmation name.
my confirmation name is .......RYAN PHILLIP
this is much better than wikipedia. all wikipedia says is stuff about the oratary, i mean i know its a big thing but really, thats all they talk about. its so annoying
Im doing a project on him in school
I am writing an essay on this Saint for school and found this to b very helpful to me. However, the only thing i hate about this page is there is no info on when this was posted. I have to cite all the websites i have used, and that includes the name and the date it was published.
since my middle name is Philip I read all I could about Philip Neri. Some information is slightly different than this very nice article. St. Philip Neri made me look for the humorous side to God - and I have written 4 chapters of a possible book about the humor of God in the Bible. Thank you St. Philip Neri !
this is very helpful. this is the name i will be using for my confirmation this year. i just have to ask i cant find where it says why he is a saint. if anyone could tell me that would be great.
Informative article on a wonderful saint.
Thank you, a very helpful and rewarding and 'learning' insight into an extraordinary and kindly saint -
Very interesting. Iam inspired by his prayer life and good deeds.
I was named after this saint. And it makes me kinda proud of it....
also my confirmation name this year
i am also doing this saint as my confirmation name
Thank you. This is a very useful information about this Saint.Every christian should visit this website, then only he can know about the saints history. God Bless you.
I am doing this saint for my confirmation saint and i have to do a report on him. This web sight was extremely helpful
In 7th grade CCD we have to write a report on 14 communities! Oh my gosh! So much work and it's due TOMORROW!!! And I've been writing since three weeks ago.
A wonderful insight into a truly holy man.
I am 12 years old and write a monthly newsletter for my family, and in it I have a "Saint of the Month" section. I looked at the calendar and saw that St. Philip Neri's feast day was in May (the issue I was working on) and thought he would be a fun saint to have an article about. I found this website and it was very good resource for my purpose and probably for anyone looking for information on the Catholic Faith, although I think that you should add canonization and possibly beatification dates to this article. (I looked it up, and he was beatified by Pope Paul V in 1615 and canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622.) All in all, I thought it was a very helpful article on St. Philip Neri. I don't think I have ever used this website before, or if so, I don't remember. However, I plan to in the future. Thank you for the information.
