Saint Bademus (10 April): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the powerful and sobering story of St. Bademus, a holy monk and martyr from Persia, as told by Fr. Alban Butler in Lives of the Saints. A nobleman who gave up wealth to serve God, St. Bademus lived a life of prayer, fasting, and holiness—guiding his monks with charity and wisdom. But during the brutal persecution under King Sapor, he was imprisoned, tortured, and ultimately martyred in a shocking act of betrayal. This story reveals: The beauty of monastic life and total devotion to God The horror of apostasy and weakness under persecution The heroic patience and courage of a true martyr A profound reflection on the vanity of the world vs. eternal life St. Bademus stands as a powerful witness to faithfulness unto death and a warning against compromising with the world. 🙏 Let this inspire you to deepen your prayer life, detach from worldly distractions, and seek union with God. 0:00 – Introduction 0:23 – Who Was St. Bademus? 0:39 – His Life of Prayer and Fasting 0:56 – The Peace of the Monastic Life 1:03 – Arrest Under King Sapor 1:20 – Torture and Imprisonment 1:28 – The Apostasy of Nuran 1:50 – A Terrible Command 2:05 – The Attempted Murder 2:22 – St. Bademus Rebukes the Apostate 2:47 – The Martyr’s Suffering 3:02 – The Beheading 3:11 – Divine Justice Falls 3:26 – The Treachery of the World 3:33 – Burial of the Saint 3:51 – Historical Context 4:00 – The Life of Monks Explained 4:31 – Union with God 4:56 – The Joy of Interior Prayer 5:12 – The Mystery of Holy Solitude 5:27 – Final Reflection https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/april/st-bademus-abbot/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
