St. Philip Neri said.....

In this forum you can write about your relationship with the Lord, your spiritual life, devotions you may take part in, works of Mercy you have done, what apostolates you are part of, ask for prayer, talk about the heavenly family (The Saints, Holy Mother, The Lord), talk about the triumphs in your life, and the misfortunes in your life.

"A man should not so attach himself to the means as to forget the end; neither must we give ourselves so much to mortify the flesh as to forget to mortify the brain, which is the chief thing after all."

"The skin of self-love is fastened strongly on our hearts, and it hurts us to flay it off, and the more we get down to the quick, the more keen and difficult it is."

Oh, this is good and humorous

"It is very useful for those who minister the word of God, or give themselves up to prayer, to read the works of authors whose names begin with S, such as Saint Augustine, Saint Bernard, etc."

"The fervor of spirituality is usually very great in the beginning, but afterwards, the Lord fingit se longius ire, makes as though He would go farther; in such a case we must stand firm and not be disturbed, because God is then withdrawing His most holy Hand of sweetness-es, to see if we are strong; and then, if we resist and overcome those tribulations and temptations, the sweetness-es and heavenly consolations return."

"We ought to apply ourselves to the acquisition of virtue, because in the end the whole terminates in greater sweetness-es than before, and the Lord gives us back all our favors and consolations doubled."
