Saint Martin I, Pope and Martyr (12 November) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today, November 12, the Church honors Saint Martin I, Pope and Martyr — a courageous defender of the true faith during one of the Church’s most difficult Christological controversies. Born in Umbria, Saint Martin I became Pope in 649 and immediately faced heresy promoted by the Byzantine Emperor Constans II and Patriarch Paul of Constantinople. Refusing to compromise the truth of Christ’s two natures, divine and human, Saint Martin convened the Lateran Council and boldly condemned the Monothelite heresy. For this, he was arrested, exiled, and suffered greatly, earning the crown of martyrdom. His steadfast courage secured the Church’s doctrine of Christ’s perfect humanity and divinity, later confirmed by the Sixth Ecumenical Council. This reflection from the writings of Dom Prosper Guéranger (The Liturgical Year) reminds us of the glory, courage, and faith of a pope who endured persecution to defend the truth of the Incarnation. 🙏 Saint Martin I, pray for us! ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction 0:14 – Pope Saint Martin I, Martyr 0:44 – Saint Martin of Tours and Rome’s dedication 1:15 – Saint Martin I and Emperor Constans II 2:14 – The Monothelite Heresy Explained 2:57 – The Lateran Council of 649 3:45 – The Defense of Christ’s Two Natures 4:16 – Persecution of Saint Martin I 5:52 – His Arrest and Exile 6:55 – His Death in Exile and Miracles 7:29 – Reflection on Pride and Humanity 8:07 – Prayer to Saint Martin I 9:04 – Closing Prayer and Final Reflections https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/november/november-12-saint-martin-i-pope-and-martyr/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
