SAINT PHILIP OF THE JOYOUS HEART

Here is a wonderful account of one of God's most loving and lovable servants, a man who was both a counselor to popes and cardinals and the trusted friend of beggars and outcasts. Paperback, 12 Chapters, 168 pages. Philip grew up in a very poor family in Florence, and was later taken in by his uncle, a prosperous merchant. Ever searching for a way to best serve God, he abandoned a merchant's career to become a lay apostle. After living in Rome for many years preaching, instructing youth and attending to the sick, he decided he could best help his fellow man as a priest and entered the seminary. As a priest, his holiness, joy and zeal soon encouraged thousands of Romans to live a vibrant Christian life. St. Philip founded a religious congregation, the Oratory, became the counselor to popes and cardinals, and the trusted friend of beggars and outcasts. Like Christ, he was all things to all men, a mighty example of selfless love.
