St Philip Neri - Apostle of Joy

St Philip Neri (1515-1595) has rightly been regarded as an apostle of joy, and was something of a practical joker which in many ways was a hallmark and imprint of his spirituality and character. He was keen to encourage friendly banter in the early days of The Oratory. His friend Baronius, a future cardinal, was on the receiving end of many of his jokes, such as sending Baronius to wine shops to sample all the wines before deciding to tell him just to buy half a bottle!

St Paul - Hero of our Faith

Pope Benedict XVI, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared a whole year to be dedicated to the great apostle St Paul.

It has been a wonderful year as we have focused on one of Christendom’s greatest saints and most effective and dynamic evangelists. 

St Paul was truly a giant of faith, a man of outstanding qualities in every respect: courage, conviction, clarity, intellect, pastoral care, wisdom, stamina and perhaps most of all love for Christ. 
Our hope is that readers of Bible Alive have grown in their love and appreciation of St Paul through the articles and features we have carried but also the way in which the writers of our daily reflections have sought to weave in a reference to his life and witness in their meditations for each day.
