From Wolf to Lamb: St. Andrew Corsini and the Power of Conversion (4 February)

About this sermon

“Behold a great priest who in his days pleased God…” Saint Andrew Corsini is one of the Church’s most powerful examples of radical conversion. Born into nobility in medieval Florence, Andrew lived as a violent, arrogant youth, despised by many and ruled by pride. Yet through the prayers of a faithful mother and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, God transformed a wolf into a lamb. This sermon recounts the astonishing life of St. Andrew Corsini — Carmelite friar, plague hero, bishop, peacemaker, and miracle-worker — whose life speaks directly to our own chaotic age. His story offers hope for wayward children, encouragement for Catholic parents, and a reminder that no soul is beyond redemption. From Florence during the Black Plague to the halls of episcopal authority, St. Andrew’s humility, penance, and Marian devotion made him a powerful instrument of reconciliation in a divided world. This is a saint for our times. 📿 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
