Confessor.
He was born at Florence of the noble family of Benizi. He entered the Order of the Servites as a lay brother. Ordained a priest, he was made General of his Order.
Collect:
O God, who in blessed Philip, Thy Confessor, didst give us a splendid example of humility: grant that Thy servants, by following him, may despise earthly prosperity, and ever seek heavenly things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ...
'Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked...'
'Amen I say to you, that you, who have left all things and followed Me, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.'
