Saint Francis Solano (14 July): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Francis Solano (1549–1610) was one of the greatest Franciscan missionaries of the Americas. Born in Spain, he left everything behind to preach Christ throughout Peru, Paraguay, Argentina, and the surrounding regions. His extraordinary charity, miraculous gifts, fearless missionary zeal, and deep devotion to prayer earned him the title "Wonderworker of the New World." In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler, discover how St. Francis Solano: Left Spain for dangerous missionary work in South America. Risked his own life to remain with abandoned slaves during a shipwreck. Evangelized indigenous peoples throughout Peru, Paraguay, and Argentina. Received the miraculous gift of tongues and performed many miracles. Warned Lima against spiritual corruption through powerful preaching. Combined constant prayer with tireless missionary work. Died peacefully at the Consecration of the Holy Mass with the words: "Glory to God." His life remains one of the greatest examples of missionary courage, humility, and total abandonment to Divine Providence. "His whole life was a career of work for souls and at the same time of continuous prayer." 0:00 Introduction 0:15 Birth in Spain and Franciscan vocation 0:31 Powerful preaching and love for souls 0:43 Master of novices and heroic humility 1:00 Heroic service during the plague of Granada 1:14 Missionary call to the New World 1:31 Shipwreck and remaining with abandoned slaves 2:03 Baptizing and encouraging survivors 2:23 Arrival in Peru 2:31 Missions among indigenous peoples 2:55 Evangelizing Paraguay and Argentina 3:12 Guardian of the Lima convent 3:18 Famous sermon against corruption in Lima 3:53 Gift of tongues and miracles 4:16 Devotion to Our Lady through sacred music 4:25 Holy death during the Consecration of Mass 4:41 Legacy and canonization https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/july/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
