Saint Apollinaris, Bishop and Martyr (23 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

According to ancient tradition, St. Apollinaris traveled from Antioch to Rome with St. Peter the Apostle. After receiving episcopal consecration, he was sent by St. Peter to preach the Gospel in Ravenna, a city that did not yet know Christ. There, St. Apollinaris converted many souls, healed the mute Boniface, delivered a young woman from an unclean spirit, raised the daughter of a Roman patrician from the dead, and endured repeated persecution at the hands of pagan priests and civil authorities. He was beaten, tortured on the rack, forced to walk barefoot over burning coals, imprisoned, exiled, shipwrecked, and repeatedly driven from the cities where he preached. His martyrdom was not completed in a single moment. Dom Guéranger, quoting St. Peter Damian, describes it as a martyrdom prolonged over twenty-nine years through innumerable torments. After returning once more to Ravenna, St. Apollinaris was overtaken and brutally beaten by pagan guards. Christians carried him away, and seven days later, while exhorting them to remain constant in the faith, he surrendered his soul to God and received the crown of martyrdom. St. Apollinaris, pray for us. St. Liborius, pray for us. 00:00 The Liturgical Year for July 23 00:16 St. Apollinaris, Bishop and Martyr 00:25 Ravenna Honors Her Apostle and First Bishop 00:41 The Apostolic Succession of Ravenna 00:49 St. Apollinaris Praised by Fathers and Doctors 00:57 He Leaves His Family to Follow St. Peter 01:04 St. Peter Sends Him to Evangelize Ravenna 01:20 The Heroic Simplicity of the Apostolic Church 01:34 A Martyrdom Prolonged for Twenty-Nine Years 02:07 The Holy Spirit Designates His Successors 02:25 The Liturgical Account of St. Apollinaris 02:35 Consecrated Bishop and Sent to Ravenna 02:43 Conversions and Persecution by Pagan Priests 02:51 Boniface Healed and His Daughter Delivered 02:59 Beaten and Forced to Walk on Burning Coals 03:15 St. Apollinaris Raises a Girl from the Dead 03:32 Ordered to Stop Preaching Christ 03:40 Tortured on the Rack and Imprisoned 03:55 Exile, Shipwreck and Missionary Travels 04:11 The Demon in the Temple of Serapis Falls Silent 04:25 St. Apollinaris Returns to Ravenna 04:33 A Christian Centurion Helps Him Escape 04:41 The Final Assault by Pagan Guards 04:49 His Last Exhortation and Glorious Martyrdom 05:09 Prayer for the Peace of Jesus Christ 05:31 St. Apollinaris Protects the Church of Ravenna 05:47 The Election of St. Peter Chrysologus 06:03 St. Apollinaris Appears to St. Romuald 06:17 A Warning Against Earthly Ambition 06:38 Ravenna’s Fall and the Danger of Pride 07:01 The Dispute Over Who Should Be Greatest 07:09 St. Peter’s Command to Shepherd with Humility 07:35 Prayer for the Pastors and Flocks of the Church 07:59 St. Liborius, Bishop and Confessor 08:12 The Holy Bishops of the Church of Le Mans 08:28 Rebuilding After Pagan Destruction 08:45 Defender of the Fatherland and Guide of Souls 09:01 Zeal for Divine Worship and Evangelization 09:16 St. Liborius and St. Martin of Tours 09:32 Translation of His Relics to Paderborn 09:46 Westphalia Is Won to Christ 09:55 The Bond Between Le Mans and Paderborn 10:03 Collect in Honor of St. Liborius https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/july/july-23-saint-apollinaris-bishop-and-martyr/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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 🙏🏻 🔴 BitChute --- https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Sensus_Fidelium/ 🔴 Rumble --- https://rumble.com/c/c-298311 🔴 My Catholic Tube - https://mycatholictube.com/videos/sensus-fidelium-channel/ 🔴 LBRY.tv --- https://lbry.tv/@SensusFidelium:c 🔴 ODYSEE - https://odysee.com/@SensusFidelium:c 🔴 UGETube - https://videos.utahgunexchange.com/@Sensus%20Fidelium 🔴 GloriaTV - https://gloria.tv/Sensus%20Fidelium ▶️ 4.
