Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo (23 March): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the inspiring life of St. Turibius of Mogrovejo, one of the greatest missionary bishops of the New World, whose feast day is celebrated on March 23rd. Born in Spain and trained as a lawyer, Turibius never intended to become a priest—yet God had greater plans. Appointed Archbishop of Lima, he courageously reformed a corrupt clergy, defended the oppressed indigenous people, and evangelized vast regions of Peru under extreme hardship. He confirmed St. Rose of Lima, St. Martin de Porres, and blessed countless souls through his tireless missionary work. Traveling thousands of miles on foot, learning native languages, and establishing the first seminary in the Americas, he became a true shepherd of Christ’s flock. His life reminds us that holiness requires courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to truth. 🙏 Let this story strengthen your faith and inspire you to live boldly for Christ. 0:00 – Introduction: March 23 & St. Turibius 0:26 – Connection to St. Rose of Lima 0:59 – Early Life in Spain 1:14 – Appointment by King Philip II 1:37 – Reluctance & Ordination 2:10 – Arrival in Lima (1581) 2:26 – Challenges in Peru & Abuse of Indigenous People 3:07 – Reforming the Clergy 3:30 – Persecution & Perseverance 3:54 – Founding the First Seminary in the Americas 4:10 – Missionary Work & Learning Native Languages 4:41 – Daily Mass, Confession & Apostolic Zeal 4:50 – Connection to Other Saints 5:06 – Charity & Hidden Almsgiving 5:31 – Final Illness & Death 5:53 – Holy Death (March 23, 1606) https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/april/ 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.
