Saint Turribius Alphonsus of Mogroveio (23 March): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the extraordinary life of St. Turibius (Toribio) Alphonsus of Mogrovejo, the great Archbishop of Lima and Apostle of Peru, as recorded in The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler. Born into nobility, St. Turibius showed deep piety from childhood—serving the poor, praying the Rosary daily, and fleeing even the shadow of sin. Though a layman and respected judge under King Philip II, he was unexpectedly chosen to lead the Church in Peru. What followed was nothing short of heroic sanctity. He crossed mountains, jungles, and deserts—often barefoot—bringing the Gospel to the most remote souls. He defended the oppressed, corrected corruption, built churches and hospitals, and converted countless souls. His life was marked by intense prayer, humility, charity, and unwavering zeal for salvation. This powerful story is a reminder of: Apostolic courage in a corrupt world The importance of interior prayer and holiness The mission to save souls at any cost St. Turibius did not seek comfort—he sought souls. 📖 Based on The Lives of the Saints by Fr.
