Saint Felix of Nicosia (31 May): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

May 31th is the feast of St. Felix of Nicosia, a humble Capuchin lay brother whose life was marked by extraordinary charity, obedience, penance, and miraculous works. Born into poverty in Sicily, St. Felix displayed remarkable holiness from his earliest years. As a child working in his father's shoemaking shop, he recoiled from sinful speech and blasphemy. After years of perseverance and prayer, he was finally admitted to the Capuchin Order, where he spent the rest of his life serving God and neighbor. Blessed with miraculous gifts, St. Felix healed the sick, comforted prisoners, converted hardened sinners, and tirelessly cared for victims during a devastating epidemic. Despite his extraordinary works, he always attributed every grace to God, saying: "So be it for the love of God." His life stands as a powerful example of humility, obedience, charity, and unwavering trust in Divine Providence. In this episode of The Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler, discover the inspiring story of St. Felix of Nicosia and learn how his example can strengthen your own Catholic faith. 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Birth of St. Felix in Sicily 00:43 Working in His Father's Shoemaker Shop 01:00 The Miracle of the Repaired Shoe 01:29 Desire to Enter the Capuchins 01:45 Seven Years of Perseverance 02:00 Religious Profession and Mission Work 02:16 Miraculous Healings and Conversions 02:34 Service During the Epidemic 03:04 "For the Love of God" 03:12 Heroic Obedience 03:21 Final Illness and Holy Death 03:29 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/june/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
