Blessed Jordan of Saxony (13 February): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Blessed Jordan of Saxony (Feast Day: February 13) succeeded St. Dominic as Superior General of the Dominican Order and became one of the most influential leaders in its early history. In today’s reading from The Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler, we explore the life of the Dominican who expanded the Order across Europe, inspired St. Albert the Great to join, and brought countless souls to Christ through preaching and supernatural common sense. Known for his humility, wisdom, and extraordinary gift for attracting vocations, Blessed Jordan founded new convents, strengthened the Order after the death of St. Dominic, and evangelized universities across Europe. His life ended in shipwreck while traveling to the Holy Land — a death he embraced as a servant of Christ. His final message still echoes today: “Whoever serves Jesus Christ faithfully to the end is saved.” May his example inspire us to perseverance, zeal for souls, and unwavering fidelity to Christ. 🙏 Blessed Jordan of Saxony, pray for us. 0:00 – Introduction 0:20 – Early Life & Education in Paris 0:48 – Taking the Dominican Habit 1:10 – First General Chapter in Bologna 1:20 – Elected Superior General After St. Dominic 1:24 – Expansion of the Dominican Order 1:36 – Preaching to Universities & St. Albert the Great 2:13 – Accepting “Simple” Novices 2:45 – Wisdom & Humor with Young Candidates 3:20 – Supernatural Common Sense Teachings 3:59 – Voyage to Palestine 4:05 – Shipwreck and Holy Death 4:16 – Apparition & Final Words 4:46 – Confirmation of His Cult (1828) https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/february/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
