We must not trust in ourselves, but take the advice of our spiritual father, and recommend ourselves to everybodys prayers.
Philip NeriThe best way to prepare for death is to spend every day of life as though it were the last.
Philip NeriWe must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
Philip NeriDo not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, He often permits us first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue and a promise by God that you will be successful, if only you stand fast.
Philip Neri
