From the time he was five years old, “Pippo Buono” (“good little Phil”) was obedient, never willfully causing his parents any problems. But even Philip had his moments. One day, as he was praying the Psalter, with one sister, another sister began teasing, trying to distract them. As words would not dissuade him, he gently pushed her away. Hearing the sister cry, little Phil’s father scolded him. Phil was so remorseful, he cried, begging God to rid him of his lack of patience.
