Saints Cyril & Methodius, Bishops, Apostles of the Sclaves (7 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

In this timeless meditation from The Liturgical Year, Dom Prosper Guéranger celebrates the extraordinary missionary work of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the great Apostles of the Slavic peoples. Born in Thessalonica and formed in the Christian East, these holy brothers devoted their lives to preaching the Gospel, translating the Scriptures and liturgical texts into the Slavonic language, and bringing countless nations into communion with the Catholic Church. Approved and encouraged by the Popes, their work transformed the spiritual and cultural history of Eastern Europe while demonstrating the unity of East and West under the See of Peter. This reflection recounts their missionary journeys, the creation of the Slavonic alphabet, the translation of the Scriptures, their defense before the Roman Pontiffs, and their lasting legacy as evangelizers whose influence continues to shape Christian civilization. May Saints Cyril and Methodius intercede for the unity of the Church and the perseverance of all who proclaim Christ to the nations.
