Saint Bartholomea Capitanio (26 July): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Bartholomea Capitanio (1807–1833) lived only twenty-six years, yet her extraordinary holiness, tireless charity, and unwavering devotion to God left a legacy that continues throughout the world. In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler, discover how a humble young woman from northern Italy overcame family difficulties, educated countless young people, embraced perpetual virginity, and co-founded the Sisters of Charity of Lovere alongside St. Vincenza Gerosa. Despite her brief life, St. Bartholomea produced an immense body of spiritual writings, inspired generations of women to pursue holiness, and demonstrated that true sanctity is measured not by the number of years lived, but by the depth of one's love for Christ. This inspiring biography explores her patience, humility, devotion to St. Aloysius Gonzaga, her work among the poor and sick, and the remarkable founding of a religious congregation that still serves the Church today. 00:00 Introduction 00:16 A saint who died at only twenty-six 00:45 Childhood in the Italian Alps 01:02 Converting her father's heart through patience 01:10 Formation by her devout mother 01:27 Vow of perpetual virginity 01:36 Teaching youth and Marian apostolate 02:00 Vision for a new religious institute 02:09 Partnership with Catherine (St. Vincenza) Gerosa 02:26 Caring for the poor and the sick 02:33 Influence of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul 02:51 Founding the Sisters of Charity of Lovere 03:06 Growth of the congregation 03:20 Tireless charity until death 03:36 Death in 1833 and canonization in 1950 https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/july/ 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.
