Pope Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church (11 April) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Discover the powerful life and legacy of St. Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church, through The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger. Known as the “Lion of the Church,” St. Leo defended the truth of the Incarnation of Christ, crushing dangerous heresies like Nestorianism and Eutychianism. His teachings at the Council of Chalcedon led the Fathers to proclaim: “Peter has spoken through Leo.” But his greatness was not only theological—St. Leo courageously confronted Attila the Hun, turning him away from Rome through divine authority and holiness. A true shepherd, he protected both faith and civilization. In this reading, we explore: The theological brilliance of St. Leo His defense of Christ’s two natures His miraculous encounter with Attila His role in shaping the Church’s doctrine His enduring legacy as a Doctor of the Church May St. Leo the Great intercede for us in times of confusion and strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ, true God and true man. 00:00 – Introduction: St. Leo the Great 00:17 – The “Lion” of Holy Church 00:50 – Defender of the Incarnation 01:06 – The Heresy of Nestorius 01:28 – The Error of Eutychianism 01:51 – Leo Proclaims the True Faith 02:07 – Council of Chalcedon: “Peter Has Spoken” 02:30 – Barbarian Invasions & Crisis 02:40 – St. Leo Confronts Attila the Hun 03:21 – Vision of St. Peter 03:54 – Leo’s Victory Over Barbarism 04:10 – His Eloquence and Writings 04:42 – Teachings on the Resurrection 04:58 – Life of St. Leo (Church Account) 05:31 – Meeting Attila at the River 06:09 – Saving Rome from Genseric 06:33 – Council of Chalcedon Explained 06:59 – Building Churches & Reforms 07:41 – Liturgical Contributions 08:12 – Eastern Church Honors St. Leo 08:36 – Hymns to St. Leo 09:14 – Doctrine of the Incarnation 10:22 – One Christ in Two Natures 11:15 – Glory of St. Leo 12:02 – His Role as Doctor of the Church 12:36 – Prayer Against Modern Errors 13:01 – Warning to Modern Society 13:48 – Prayer for the Faithful 14:21 – Christ: God and Man Explained 14:28 – Prayer for the Pope & the Church https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/april/april-11-pope-leo-the-great-pope-and-doctor-of-the-church/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
