Ss. Crispin and Crispinian (25 October): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

On October 25th, the Church honors Saints Crispin and Crispinian, two noble brothers from Rome who became humble shoemakers and fearless preachers of Christ in Gaul. This reading, taken from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, recounts their incredible example of faith, charity, humility, and courage in the face of persecution under Emperor Maximian in A.D. 287. Learn how these saints turned their ordinary trade into a path of sanctification, reminding us that holiness is possible in every walk of life. Their story continues to inspire craftsmen, workers, and all Christians striving to unite their daily labor with devotion to God. 📖 From: The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler 🙏 Feast Day: October 25 🕊️ Saints Featured: Crispin and Crispinian, Martyrs of Soissons 00:00 – Introduction: The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler 00:10 – Saints Crispin and Crispinian, Martyrs (A.D. 287) 00:24 – From Rome to Gaul: Missionaries of the Faith 00:40 – Preaching by Day, Working by Night 01:01 – Their Example of Charity and Piety 01:16 – Accused Before Emperor Maximian 01:38 – The Trial Before Governor Rictius Varus 02:00 – Their Martyrdom by the Sword 02:20 – Veneration and the Church at Soissons 02:35 – The Lesson of the Saints: Sanctity in Everyday Work 02:52 – Following Christ Through Humility and Labor 03:35 – Conclusion: The Call to Self-Denial and Prayer https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/october/ss-crispin-and-crispinian/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintsCrispinAndCrispinian #LivesOfTheSaints #FatherAlbanButler #CatholicSaints #FeastDayOctober25 #ChristianMartyrs #CatholicFaith #ShoemakersSaints #SaintsStory #CatholicPodcast #FaithAndWork #ChristianInspiration #CatholicHistory #MartyrsOfSoissons #DailySaints #SaintsOfTheDay #HolinessInWork #CatholicDevotion #SaintsLives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
