San Filippo Neri e il segreto della felicità in Dio | Intervista a Mons. Edoardo Cerrato

In the heart of Rome, within the evocative Rooms of Saint Philip Neri at the Church of Santa Maria in Vallicella, we met with Monsignor Edoardo Aldo Cerrato, C.O., for an intense and deeply human conversation about the figure of the Oratory's saint. Starting from the experience of Saint Philip Neri, the reflection unfolds around a crucial question: what truly makes a young person happy? Through the story of the saint's life, his relationship with young people, the birth of the Oratory, and his profoundly Christ-centered spirituality, the interview also touches on current themes such as the meaning of vocation, freedom, education, and the search for a joy that does not coincide with superficial cheerfulness, but with a deeper and more stable peace. Monsignor Cerrato also recounts his own educational and priestly experience, his relationship with young people in school and pastoral work, and the community dimension of Oratory life as a place of family, growth, and support. A dialogue born from the living memory of Saint Philip Neri and which, without constraint, seeks to question the present. The interview, conducted by journalist Lorenzo Iorfino, was conducted in the Rooms of Saint Philip Neri at the church of Santa Maria in Vallicella in Rome. We invite you to watch the full interview to fully understand the human and spiritual journey shared here. Production: Bm Studio Srls Video Distribution: Ass.
