Saint Peter Nolasco, Saint Agnes & True Freedom | Slavery, Stress, and the Love of God (28 January)

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Peter Nolasco, founder of the Mercedarian Order, along with the Octave Day of Saint Agnes, one of the most highly venerated virgin martyrs of the early Church. This sermon explores: The life and mission of Saint Peter Nolasco The founding of the Royal and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy The historical reality of Christian captivity and slavery The deeper meaning of moral, emotional, and spiritual slavery The powerful truth that perfect love of God is perfect freedom We also commemorate: Saint Agnes, whose octave reveals her immense importance in the early Church Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor and defender of the Papacy Blessed James the Almsgiver, a martyr for justice who exposed corruption and paid with his life This sermon reminds us that slavery is not only physical — many today are enslaved by stress, anger, fear, ambition, and disordered attachments. Through prayer, resignation to God’s will, and love of God above all things, we discover the key to our own freedom. 📖 “Perfect love of God is perfect freedom.” 🙏 Let us ask for the grace to be freed from every prison that binds us — through the intercession of Saint Peter Nolasco.
