If God be with Us: Maxims of St.Philip Neri

St Philip Neri (1515-1595) is known as the Apostle of Rome and the founder of the Congregation of the Oratory. This translation of his maxims and sayings is the work of Fr Faber first published in 1847. His Maxims emphasise the constant teaching of the masters of the spiritual life going back to the Desert Fathers (themselves always the favourite reading of St Philip). Full of good sense they present us with an essential spirituality presented as easily accessible reflections for each month of the year.
