Saint Genevieve, Virgin, Patron of Paris (3 January) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Saint Geneviève of Paris, celebrated on January 3, is one of the greatest virgins and protectors in the history of the Catholic Church. Chosen by God from childhood, she became the patroness of Paris, a defender of France, and a powerful intercessor whose prayers turned back famine, demons, and even the invasion of Attila the Hun. This video presents a full traditional Catholic account of Saint Geneviève’s life, drawn from ancient liturgical texts, hagiography, and the historic offices of the Church of Paris. From her consecration as a child by Saint Germain of Auxerre, to her heroic fasting, miracles, and prophecies, her life reveals the power of humility, purity, and total devotion to Christ. Known as a simple shepherdess, Saint Geneviève became the spiritual guardian of Paris—much like Saint Isidore for Madrid—proving that God raises the lowly to confound the wisdom of the world. Even during times of persecution, desecration of her relics, and the suppression of her cult, her intercession never ceased. Included in this presentation are: Ancient antiphons, responsories, and sequences Accounts of her miracles, fasting, and prophecies Her role in saving Paris from Attila Her lasting legacy as Bride of Christ and Virgin of France A powerful traditional prayer invoking her protection over Paris and France “God shows what is weak in the world to confound what is strong.” May Saint Geneviève lead us to the Cradle of Christ and renew faith, purity, and courage in our time. 00:00 – Saint Geneviève, Virgin & Patron of Paris 00:57 – The Honor of Holy Virgins After the Blessed Virgin Mary 02:21 – Fame of Saint Geneviève Throughout the World 02:48 – Saint Germain of Auxerre Discerns Her Vocation 04:12 – Geneviève’s Consecration as a Virgin of Christ 05:13 – The Copper Cross and Renunciation of Worldly Adornment 06:17 – Christ’s Sovereign Choice of Souls 06:40 – Official Liturgical Legend of Saint Geneviève 08:07 – Prophecy Against Attila the Hun 08:28 – Feeding Paris During Famine 09:01 – Her Extreme Fasting and Ascetic Life 09:40 – Saint Simeon the Stylite and Her Renown 10:13 – Miracles at Her Tomb 10:26 – Ancient Antiphons of the Church of Paris 12:53 – Liturgical Hymns and Responses 14:04 – Adam of Saint Victor’s Sequence 15:15 – Miracles Over Nature, Demons, and Disease 16:08 – Final Prayer to Saint Geneviève for France and Paris https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/january/january-3-saint-genevieve-virgin-patron-of-paris/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
