Bl. Ignatius Acevedo & Companions, Martyrs (15 July): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Blessed Ignatius de Acevedo and his Thirty-Nine Companions gave everything for Christ. On their voyage to reinforce the Jesuit missions in Brazil in 1570, their ship was intercepted by French Huguenot pirates determined to stop Catholic missionaries from reaching the New World. Rather than abandon his men, Blessed Ignatius de Acevedo, a Portuguese Jesuit priest chosen by St. Francis Borgia, remained with his companions knowing the dangers ahead. Captured by the pirate Jacques Sourie, the missionaries were condemned solely because they were Catholic priests and brothers. They accepted martyrdom with heroic courage, becoming shining witnesses to fidelity, missionary zeal, and love of Christ. Father Alban Butler recounts the remarkable story of these forty missionaries whose sacrifice strengthened the Church and whose witness continues to inspire Catholics around the world.
