Blessed Ranieri Scacceri (17 June): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Blessed Ranieri Scacceri was born into a wealthy family in Pisa, Italy, but spent much of his youth pursuing worldly pleasures and frivolous amusements. Through the guidance of a holy religious named Alberto Leccapecore, Ranieri came to recognize the emptiness of sin and experienced a profound conversion of heart. His repentance was so intense that he spent days weeping for his past offenses against God. After a miraculous healing from temporary blindness, he journeyed to the Holy Land, where he walked in the footsteps of Our Lord Jesus Christ and grew deeply in holiness. While in Palestine, Blessed Ranieri received a mysterious vision revealing that the disordered desires of the soul can only be extinguished by the cleansing grace of God. Inspired by this revelation, he embraced a life of extraordinary penance, poverty, prayer, and self-denial. Returning to Pisa barefoot and living solely on alms, he became known for his holiness and miraculous gifts. Numerous healings were attributed to him, and because he often healed the sick by sprinkling them with holy water, he became known as "de Aqua." Although never definitively proven to have been ordained a priest, Blessed Ranieri devoted himself entirely to God, living among religious communities and inspiring countless souls through his example of repentance and sanctity. He died in 1160 and quickly became renowned for the miracles worked both during his life and after his death. His relics remain honored in Pisa, where he is venerated as the city's principal patron. Blessed Ranieri's life reminds us that no sinner is beyond God's mercy. Through sincere repentance, prayer, sacrifice, and trust in Christ, even the most worldly soul can become a great saint. 📖 "There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." — Luke 15:7 May Blessed Ranieri Scacceri pray for us. 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Patron Saint of Pisa 0:44 Wealthy Youth and Worldly Living 1:00 Conversion Through Alberto Leccapecore 1:16 Tears of Repentance 1:23 Miraculous Blindness and Healing 1:39 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land 1:47 The Mysterious Vision 2:11 Meaning of the Vision Explained 2:26 Life of Penance and Mortification 2:34 Barefoot Journey Home 2:41 Miracles in the Holy Land 2:57 Return to Pisa 3:05 Monastic Life and Final Years 3:14 Miracles and Healings 3:23 "De Aqua" – The Saint of Holy Water 3:31 Legacy of Blessed Ranieri 3:40 Closing Prayer https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/june/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
