Saint Philip Neri: I Prefer Heaven

Filippo Neri arrives in Rome, a young Florentine burning with a single desire: to join the Jesuits and carry the faith to distant India. Providence, however, charts a different course. His true mission unfolds not in exotic lands, but in the filthy alleyways of the Eternal City, among its poorest and most neglected youth. With boundless charity, deep prayer, and infectious humor, he gathers street children to catechize them, offering a lifeline. This humble work blossoms into the foundation of the Oratory, a quiet revolution to re-evangelize a decadent Rome from its very foundations.
