Blessed Juliana of Mont Cornillon (5 April): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Blessed Juliana of Mont Cornillon is one of the most important yet forgotten figures in Catholic history. Through her visions, perseverance, and deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, she played a crucial role in the establishment of the Feast of Corpus Christi — a feast that celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Born in 1192 near Liège, Belgium, Juliana was orphaned at a young age and raised by Augustinian nuns. From her youth, she displayed a profound love for the Eucharist and spent hours studying the writings of the Church Fathers. At around age 15, she began experiencing a mysterious vision: a full moon marked by a dark stripe. Years later, Our Lord revealed to her that this vision represented the liturgical year — and the missing feast dedicated to His Body and Blood. Despite opposition, accusations, exile, and suffering, Blessed Juliana remained faithful to her mission. Through the support of holy companions and theologians, her efforts eventually led to Pope Urban IV instituting the Feast of Corpus Christi for the universal Church. This is a powerful story of obedience, suffering, and unwavering devotion to Christ in the Eucharist. 🙏 May Blessed Juliana inspire us to deepen our love for the Blessed Sacrament. 0:00 – Introduction 0:25 – Who Was Blessed Juliana? 0:33 – Early Life and Orphanhood 0:40 – Life with the Augustinian Nuns 0:55 – Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament 1:09 – The Mysterious Vision of the Moon 1:25 – Meaning of the Vision Revealed 1:41 – Religious Life and Hidden Mission 1:58 – Support from Blessed Eva and Others 2:17 – Consulting Theologians 2:32 – Approval and Growing Opposition 2:54 – Accusations and Persecution 3:28 – Vindication and Return 3:35 – Feast of Corpus Christi Introduced Locally 3:43 – Renewed Persecution and Exile 3:59 – Poverty and Final Years 4:22 – Death of Blessed Juliana (April 5, 1258) 4:30 – Mission Completed After Her Death 4:44 – Pope Urban IV Institutes Corpus Christi 5:00 – Feast Confirmed by the Church 5:15 – Beatification (1869) https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/april 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.
