THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT PHILIP NERI The Patron of Comedians, Laughter and Joy Feast Day: May 26

"There is no purgatory in this world. Nothing but heaven or hell."

The founder of the Oratory of Saint Philip of Neri aka the Oratorian Fathers was born in the Republic of Florence (present-day Florence, Italy) on July 22, 1515. From infancy and on account of his docility, he was called Pippo Buono, meaning 'good little Philip.' He was the son of Francesco di Neri, a lawyer, and his wife Lucrezia da Mosciano, whose family were nobility in the service of the state.

After a mystical experience at the age of 18, he sets out for Rome to pursue his theological studies. He was regarded as a promising scholar, when suddenly he sold his books and began to take care of the street children.

With his sense of humor, he would go to the marketplace to speak about the love of God. His customary greeting was: 'Well brothers, what shall we begin to do good?'

In 1548, together with his confessor, Persiano Rossa, he founded the Confraternity of the Most Holy Trinity of Pilgrims and Convalescents, with the primary purpose of serving the pilgrims and the sick. Among his favorite devotions were the Quarantore (Forty Hours of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament) and the Seven Churches Walk.

On the Pentecost Vigil in 1544, as he was praying at the Catacombs of St. Sebastian, a globe of fire entered through his mouth and enlarged his breast. He was filled with such abundance of the Holy Spirit that he exclaimed: 'Enough, Lord! I can bear no more!'

Philip ordained a priest at the age of 36; and the same year, he founded the Congregation of the Oratory. Philip had the grace of reading the thoughts of his penitents, and effected an enormous number of conversations.

After spending the whole morning in the confessional, he would hold spiritual conferences, mostly on the lives of saints, followed by visits to churches or attendance at vespers. One day after reading the life of St. Francis Xavier, he wanted to volunteer for the foreign missions. But his spiritual director assured him that his Indies were in Rome. Often times, while celebrating Mass, he would fall into an ecstasy.

Philip spent the last days of his life hearing confessions, then he gave the final blessing and said: 'Last of all, we must die.'

Philip died in Rome at the age of 79 on May 26, 1595 in Rome. Beatified on May 11, 1615 by Pope Paul V and canonized a saint on March 12, 1622 by Pope Gregory XV, Philip Neri is the patron of writers, artists, comedians, laughter and joy, and the United States Army Special Forces aka the Green Berets.

The nearby alleys are full of shops and market stalls, and the Old Bridge Museum explores the bridge’s long history. A narrow staircase leads up to the Koski Mehmed-Pasha Mosque’s minaret for panoramic city views

ALEXANDRA STRÉLISKI

"UMBRA"

Hoy, XXIM Records/Sony Masterworks se complace en anunciar el lanzamiento de otro nuevo sencillo, 'Umbra', así como la versión ampliada de Néo-Romance, el disco aclamado por la crítica de la pianista francocanadiense y compositora ALEXANDRA STRÉLISKI.

Mira el vídeo AQUÍ

Consigue la versión ampliada del álbum AQUÍ

La pieza in��dita viene acompañada de un videoclip rodado por Nick Helderman en La Marbrerie de Montreuil, Francia, con Julia Kotarba, Natalia Kotarba y Maxime Navert, miembros de la banda de gira de STRÉLISKI.

"Umbra" fue la última pieza que compuso para el proyecto y se terminó cuando ya se había grabado la mayor parte de Néo-Romance. "Umbra" hace referencia a la parte más oscura de la sombra, pero esta pieza se creó para intentar poner algo de luz en ella", dice STRÉLISKI. Convertida en el cierre habitual de sus conciertos, la pieza es ahora una de las favoritas de los fans, cosechando una calurosa acogida allá donde ha tocado.

"Es ahora una de mis piezas favoritas para tocar en directo", añade STRÉLISKI."Empezó siendo el final de mi espectáculo, con piano solo, y se convirtió en una celebración colectiva, basada en la improvisación. Me encanta interpretarla junto a mis maravillosas instrumentistas Julia y Natalia Kotarba, y con mi compañero de siempre Maxime Navert al sintetizador".

Un álbum centrado en la importancia del Romanticismo en el mundo moderno, y en lo que la relación de los románticos con la naturaleza puede enseñarnos en tiempos tan difíciles, Néo-Romance se ha convertido en un éxito comercial y de crítica. El disco alcanzó el nº 1 en la lista de álbumes de Québec -por delante de Taylor Swift- y ha sido nominado para el Premio Polaris de la Música 2023. STRÉLISKI estambién la artista femenina más nominada de este año en L'ADISQ - una ceremonia que recompensa la excelencia en la industria musical quebequense - con seis nominaciones en total.

Empezando con tres actuaciones en Múnich, Carouge y Zúrich, STRÉLISKI continuará su gira Néo-Romance con 30 nuevas fechas por Canadá, Estados Unidos y Europa durante el resto de 2023 y hasta 2024. A continuación, todas las fechas de la gira:

Best Brazilian near Trinity-St Paul's United Church in Toronto, ON - Yelp

I am putting a Protection Racket on Trinity-St Paul's United Church.

Adrien Blake-Trotman

[rvr-kat]

We can't control what each individual person believes, but the Church doesn't view or treat marriage as you said, op.

Currently I am reading a book on Sacraments, and it goes on to explain each one. Here are some things the author has to say:

"One could even say that the man and the woman in their unity are a true image of God; the covenant between God and people is introduced in their marital covenant; a new life is born out of their relationship; to them is entrusted the care and the responsibility for the life of all other creatures."

"[...] the lines of a God who creates, as well as a God who saves, are mirrored and reflected in birthing and raising children."

"He (Christ) renews the marriage and family to the image of the Holy Trinity, a mystery out of which comes every true love so they would be a living and visible proof of God's divinity in the world."

"Humanity is united in spouses and marriage is a part, an expression, a symbol and a real core unity of humanity as a center of God's creation."

"Mutual giving is the only path that brings married couples to holiness. In that aspect the sexual acts, lived in love and consecrated in the sacrament, for married couples is a path of growth in life of charity. "

From the Cathecism of the Catholic Church:

"Sexuality is directed towards marital love between man and woman. In marriage the physical intimacy between spouses becomes a sign and a pledge of spiritual unity." (CCC 2360)

"Sexuality [...], through which man and woman give themselves to one another through acts inherent and exclusive to spouses, is not something purely biological, but it cuts to the very core of a human person as such. It is truly realized in a human way only if it's an integral part of love in which the husband and the wife completely bind themselves to one another all the way until death." (CCC 2361)

There's plenty more in the Cathecism, but just like there are rich Catholics who don't feed the hungry and clothe the naked if it's not posted on social media, there are Catholics who view marriage as a door to not live in mortal sin. St. Paul said it's better to marry if you can't control your passions, though, so if two people agree to that, and vow before God to live a life of unity and charity, I don't think that's wrong.

We forget that each person is just a person, and that it is not the true reflection of the Church and what it teaches and stands for. Marriage is a sacred unity between a man and a woman centered in Christ. A devout Catholic won't marry just for pleasure, though.

My husband is my best friend and I married him because I love him to death, and also because I knew we can build a family together, if God wills it, and he would be a good father and take care of his family. There was a strain on our relationship and us as individuals that there were boundaries that we just couldn't cross, so yeah, it felt great knowing we can be physical and relax.

I know of protestants who married just to be married, and who are endlessly wanting a spouse, no matter who it is. Protestants who refuse to even place a small kiss on a girl's/guy's cheek for the sake of purity. This kind of thinking and behavior isn't exclusive to Catholics. But it's better to marry than to fall a slave to your passions, if you really struggle with it. Enjoying yourself in that way within the bounds of marriage is a-okay.

I, as a Catholic, enjoy many worldly things, much more than I did as a protestant - including music - but I don't cross a boundary into the lands where God and all He created/established on earth is disrespected. Indulgence doesn't have to be sinful, but we should be careful.

It doesn't sit well with me that Catholics treat marriage like it's this imperfect state that is tolerated merely because it keeps a person from mortal sin. And treat sex like it's dirty, profane, and shameful.

I think marriage is sacred and perfect in its own right, and not because it's the thing you must resort to because you weren't called to religious life.

I think sex is sacred. We are not puritans. God made so many beautiful and wonderful things on the earth for us to enjoy - music, food, sex, art. He didn't have to create a reality where we need pleasure and beauty. But He did! And I'm tired of Catholics acting like it's evil to enjoy yourself!
