| St. Philip hears the last Confession of the resurrected Paolo before the boy returns to eternal sleep. |
This past Thursday, the Lesson of the day's Lenten ferial Mass recounted the Prophet Elisha's raising of the Sunamite woman's son from the dead. The Gospel of the same Mass recounts the raising of the widow of Naim's son. These two lessons are reused today for a special feast of the Oratory commemorating St. Philip's raising of Paolo Massimo from the dead on March 16, 1583. New Liturgical Movement has an article discussing the miracle commemorated by this feast, as well as the other Mass Propers (which differ from the Lenten feria).
From Fratellino:
Today is the anniversary of St. Philip's miraculous raising of young Paolo Massimo from the dead. Masses will be said by numerous prelates at the altar in the Palazzo Massimo in Rome, which is opened annually for this purpose. S. Philippo Neri, ora pro nobis!
