Autorenporträt
Philip Neri, known as the Apostle of Rome, was not an author in the typical sense but is remembered for his pious quotes and sayings that have since been compiled into texts such as 'The Maxims and Sayings of St. Philip Neri'. Born on July 21, 1515, in Florence, Italy, Neri became an influential figure in the Catholic Reformation of the 16th century. Although he did not write extensive theological treatises, his informal teachings and aphorisms were collected by his followers. These maxims primarily reflect his charismatic, joyous spirituality and his approach to a devout life that was both earnest and light-hearted. His words carry the philosophy of genuine religious practice being rooted in love, humility, and cheerfulness. In 1575, Neri founded the Congregation of the Oratory, a community of secular priests, which became a driving force of spiritual renewal in the Church and influenced Catholic thought and devotion. St. Philip Neri's approach to faith highlights the integration of spirituality into daily life, which has appealed to many seeking practical guidance for living a religious life. He was canonized a saint in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV. While Neri's legacy as an author may be modest, his impact on Catholicism endures through his sayings and the vibrant community he established.
