Philip Romulus Neri was born into a middle-class family in Florence, modern-day Italy. By age eleven, Philip was known for his piety, prayerfulness, and frequent visits to churches in Florence. At age eighteen, Philip was sent to live with and become heir to his father’s wealthy cousin, Romolo, near the Benedictine monastery of Montecassino where he had a profound conversion. Did he want a businessman’s comfortable life, or did he want to follow the Holy Spirit? He chose the latter.

In 1533, Philip set out for Rome. He paid for housing by tutoring a customs official’s two sons. Philip frequented and prayed at the holy sites while he waited for God to direct him. His usual diet was bread and water once a day. He enrolled in university where he studied philosophy, theology, and human sciences. While studying at the University of Saint Augustine, Philip was moved as he gazed at a large crucifix, leading him to quit his studies, sell his books, and dedicate himself to full-time prayer. For the next ten years, Philip lived an eremitical life, dividing his time between prayer and charity. He visited hospitals, converted sinners, and injected humor and laughter wherever he went. This one-on-one ministry as a layman and his life of prayer set the foundation for what was to come.

Around 1544, just before Pentecost, Philip had a deeply mystical experience while praying in a catacomb. A ring of fire descended and entered his mouth, settling in his heart. The flame filled him with such an intense love for God that he fell to the ground and cried out, β€œEnough, Lord, I can bear it no more!” Afterward, he noticed a visible swelling on his chest over his heart. For the rest of Philip’s life, especially when engaged in prayer and holy conversation, his heart would noticeably palpitate. It is said that when people saw Philip, they were drawn to him, especially to his heart. A postmortem revealed an enlarged heart that had dislocated two of his ribs.

Philip next became a street preacher in Rome. He gathered young men around him, inspiring them with the joy of following Christ. He and his companions served the sick in the hospitals and did menial acts of service, such as cleaning and making beds. Doing good, with joy and enthusiasm, drew many to listen to him and follow his example.

In 1548, Philip’s confessor assisted him in forming the Confraternity of the Holy Trinity. Members regularly met for prayer, especially Eucharistic adoration, and engaged in holy conversations and comradery. In 1551, Philip became a priest at the age of thirty-five, joining a community at the Church of San Girolamo della Carita. Father Phillip’s next ministry was as a confessor to countless sinners, eventually spending most of the day in the confessional. He could read souls, identify unconfessed sins, give supernatural counsel, perform miracles, and speak words of divine love.

Within a year of his ordination, Father Philip began to gather young men in his room for prayer and holy conversation. They would talk, read about the saints, share meals, sing songs, go on walks, and pray together. When the number of his followers grew large, he built an oratory for their meetings. This loose association continued to grow and in 1575, with papal approval, Father Philip founded the Congregation of the Oratory whose ministry included prayer, preaching, and the sacraments.

Let us pray.
O God,
who never cease to bestow the glory of holiness
on the faithful servants you raise up for yourself,
graciously grant that the Holy Spirit may kindle in us that fire
with which he wonderfully filled
the heart of Saint Philip Neri.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

The most glorious Mother of God largely lived a quiet and hidden life, and there are but a few stories about her in the Scriptures. Since her Assumption into Heaven, the Church has prayerfully pondered her life and role in the mystery of salvation. Little by little, saint after saint and pope after pope have shed greater light upon her unique and glorious role in the Father’s eternal plan. As our understanding of the Blessed Mother has deepened, the Church has proclaimed new titles and new dogmas about Mary. In 2018, a new liturgical memorial honored her with the title β€œBlessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church.”

To understand the Blessed Virgin Mary’s role as Mother of the Church, we begin with Scripture. As Jesus hung on the Cross, His mother and two other women stood before Him, alongside John, the disciple whom Jesus loved. From the Cross, Jesus entrusted His mother to John’s care. β€œWhen Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, β€˜Woman, behold, your son.’ Then he said to the disciple, β€˜Behold, your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home” (John 19:26–27).

Beginning with Pope Leo XIII in 1895, many of our popes have referred to Mary as the β€œMother of the Church,” with each one adding to our understanding of Mary in that role. On September 17, 1997, Pope John Paul II defined β€œMother of the Church” in this way in a Wednesday catechesis:

The title β€œMother of the Church” thus reflects the deep conviction of the Christian faithful, who see in Mary not only the mother of the person of Christ, but also of the faithful. She who is recognized as mother of salvation, life and grace, mother of the saved and mother of the living, is rightly proclaimed Mother of the Church. ( #5).

On March 3, 2018, Pope Francis announced a new memorial on the General Roman Calendar, celebrated on the Monday after Pentecost: β€œThe Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church.”

In the decree instituting this memorial, Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, said:

This celebration will help us to remember that growth in the Christian life must be anchored to the Mystery of the Cross, to the oblation of Christ in the Eucharistic Banquet and to the Mother of the Redeemer and Mother of the Redeemed, the Virgin who makes her offering to God.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, was entrusted to the Church in the person of Saint John the Apostle at the foot of the Cross. From the Cross, the Church was conceived by the outpouring of grace that flowed from Jesus’ Sacred Heart. Our Blessed Mother was present at Pentecost as the Church was born.

Today, the Mother of the Church reigns in Heaven next to her Son; from there, she nurtures the Church as a loving mother. She intercedes for us and mediates her Son’s saving grace, making her the ongoing instrument of grace and mother of all.

Let us pray.
O God, Father of mercies,
whose Only Begotten Son, as he hung upon the Cross,
chose the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother,
to be our Mother also,
grant, we pray, that with her loving help
your Church may be more fruitful day by day
and, exulting in the holiness of her children,
may draw to her embrace all the families of the peoples.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Today, we celebrate the glorious Solemnity of Pentecost, the promised Gift of the Father and the Son to Jesus’ disciples. After rising from the dead, Jesus appeared to His disciples for forty days, offering them proof of His resurrection, teaching them, and reminding them of all He had revealed to them about His death and Resurrection to prepare them for the next step of their mission.

During the ten days after Jesus’ Ascension, the eleven Apostles gathered together in the upper roomβ€”most likely the place where they ate the first Eucharistβ€”with Jesus’ mother and many other disciples, totaling 120. As they met, they cast lots and chose Matthias as Judas’ successor.

On the fiftieth day after Jesus’ Resurrection, ten days after His Ascension, the 120 disciples were again gathered in the upper room when they experienced something beyond their imagination. From the sky, a noise like a strong driving wind filled the room. Tongues, as of fire, fell upon all gathered, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, they were given the gift of tongues, which enabled them to speak in different languages to the diverse groups of people in Jerusalem.

The disciples went out into Jerusalem and boldly proclaimed the Gospel. Peter stood up and gave a stirring and powerful sermon that presented the whole mystery of salvation. He spoke of Jesus as the Savior and of the need to repent and be baptized. β€œThose who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand persons were added that day” (Acts 2:41). The new followers then devoted themselves to learning from the Apostles and to the celebration of the Eucharist.

Pentecost is the birthday of the Church. The Holy Spirit formed the Church and empowered each baptized member to fulfill a specific duty. Some preached, some cared for the poor, and some shed their blood for their faith. The newly converted and empowered disciples traveled far and wide to expand the newborn Church that grew rapidly as the new Body of Christ fulfilled its mission.

In the years and centuries ahead, the Holy Spirit continued to form the Church. The Apostles were inspired to write what is today the New Testament so that future believers would have firsthand accounts of the Gospel. The Apostles’ and Saint Peter’s successors helped form Sacred Tradition, the ongoing deepening revelation of the Word of God to address new questions.

The Holy Spirit also sanctifies every individual believer, especially through the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, β€œThe seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord…They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations” ( #1831). The Holy Spirit also instills twelve fruits: β€œThe fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: β€˜charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity’” ( #1832). These graces are given in Baptism and perfected in Confirmation. Each baptized and confirmed member of Christ has the potential to fully realize these graces so as to grow in holiness and fulfill their divine mission.

Let us pray.
O God, who by the mystery of today's great feast sanctify your whole Church in every people and nation, pour out, we pray, the gifts of the Holy Spirit across the face of the earth and, with the divine grace that was at work when the Gospel was first proclaimed, fill now once more the hearts of believers. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

β€‹β€œ[Jesus] breathed on them and said to them, β€˜Receive the Holy Spirit.’” - Jn 20:22

​When the Apostles received the Holy Spirit, they came out of hiding and doubted no more (Gospel / 1st R). The same Spirit makes us one body with many gifts (2nd R), empowering us to renew the face of the earth (Ps).

​Friends, we have already received the Holy Spirit. Let us be one.
