Saint Joseph Oriol (23 March): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the powerful and humbling life of St. Joseph Oriol, a hidden saint of Barcelona known for his extreme penance, miraculous healings, and deep humility. Born into hardship, orphaned at a young age, and raised in poverty, Joseph Oriol grew into a priest of extraordinary holiness. Living on bread and water, sleeping only a few hours a night, and giving everything to the poor, he became a powerful instrument of God. Gifted with prophecy, healing, and spiritual direction, St. Joseph Oriol spent countless hours in the confessional, guiding souls back to Christ. Despite his miracles, he remained profoundly humble, always attributing everything to God. After a failed attempt to seek martyrdom, Our Lady appeared to him and redirected his mission: to serve the sick in Barcelona. What followed was a life overflowing with miracles, conversions, and sanctity. He died on March 23, 1702, and was canonized in 1909. 🙏 May his life inspire us to pursue holiness through sacrifice, humility, and love of God. 0:00 – Introduction 0:26 – Early life in Barcelona 0:35 – Choir boy and early piety 0:43 – Education and priestly calling 0:56 – Poverty and hardship after father’s death 1:05 – Exemplary student and ordination 1:12 – Life as a tutor and hidden holiness 1:21 – Revelation of his imperfections 1:27 – Vow of bread and water 1:36 – Public humiliation and penance 1:43 – Pilgrimage to Rome 1:51 – Return and priestly ministry 2:00 – Life of extreme poverty 2:17 – Confessor and spiritual director 2:33 – Suspension and restoration 2:50 – Ministry to children and soldiers 2:59 – Desire for martyrdom 3:16 – Attempt to leave for missions 3:31 – Vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary 3:38 – Return to care for the sick 3:47 – Miracles and healings spread 4:04 – Humility and hidden sanctity 4:11 – Gift of prophecy 4:18 – Prediction of his death 4:25 – Death and final moments 4:33 – Public veneration and burial 4:48 – Canonization in 1909 https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/march/ 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.
