Father David Mary says a profound mass, turning matters over to the Holy Spirit, celebrating sacred mysteries through, with, and in the glorification of the Eucharist. Today is the feast day of St Philip Neri, a comedian priest, a saint noted for his sense of humor. Robin Williams was a worldly comedian overcome by despair, resorting to suicide. May we take inspiration in St Philip Nerl’s lightheartedness, not consumed with ourselves, avoiding the taking of ourselves and those we encounter too seriously. His focus demanded serious attention only upon the Trinity. St Neri deeply understood joy being a fruit of the Holy Spirit.

If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects. –Saint Philip Neri
