Prayer to St Philip Neri
Dear St Philip,
be with us and guide us along the path which leads to God and to thee.
Be to us a good father;
make our priests blameless and beyond reproach or scandal;
make our children obedient,
our youth prudent and chaste,
our old people cheerful and fervent,
and build us up by thy powerful intercession,
in faith, hope, charity and all virtue.
John Henry Cardinal Newman
