Byzantine Saints: Martyr Thomais of Alexandria (13 April)

About this sermon

Saint Thomais of Alexandria, commemorated on April 13th, is one of the most powerful intercessors against sexual temptation and impurity. Born into a Christian family, she lived a life of purity, humility, and devotion to God. Married at a young age, her virtue was soon tested in a horrifying trial that would lead to her martyrdom. When her father-in-law, overcome by sinful desire, attempted to lead her into grave sin, Saint Thomais stood firm in her faith. Even under threat of death, she refused to betray Christ or compromise her chastity. Her courage led to her brutal martyrdom, but also to her eternal crown in heaven. Through her sacrifice, God revealed her as a powerful helper for those struggling with passions of the flesh. Many miracles occurred at her tomb, and even monks found freedom from temptation through her intercession. To this day, she is invoked by those seeking purity, strength, and victory over lust. 🙏 Ask for her prayers today: “Holy Martyr Thomais, pray for us, that we may overcome temptation and remain faithful to Christ.” 0:00 – Introduction to St. Thomais 0:27 – Early Life in Alexandria 0:34 – Marriage and Virtuous Life 0:51 – The Temptation and Attack 1:03 – Her Courageous Refusal 1:16 – Martyrdom of St. Thomais 1:24 – Divine Punishment of the Murderer 1:37 – Justice and Aftermath 1:47 – St. Daniel of Sketis Appears 1:55 – Burial Controversy Among Monks 2:03 – “She is a Mother to Us” 2:13 – Monk Struggling with Temptation 2:21 – Prayer at Her Grave 2:32 – Vision of St. Thomais 2:34 – Healing from Lustful Passions 2:42 – Power of Chastity 2:49 – Miracles at Her Relics 2:58 – Translation of Relics to Constantinople 3:05 – Saints for Purity and Deliverance 3:16 – Conclusion https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
