Quote by Philip Neri

“During mental prayer, it is well, at times, to imagine that many insults and injuries are being heaped upon us, that misfortunes have befallen us, and then strive to train our heart to bear and forgive these things patiently, in imitation of our Saviour. This is the way to acquire a strong spirit.”

We do not know the number of souls that is ours to save through our prayers and sacrifices; therefore, let us always pray for sinners.”
