Ss. John Fisher & Thomas More (22 June): God Raises up Particular Saints for Particular Times

About this sermon

St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More stood nearly alone against the tyranny of King Henry VIII and the destruction of Catholic England. When England entered into schism and rejected the authority of the Catholic Church, these two saints chose fidelity to Christ over power, comfort, and even their own lives. In this sermon, we examine how God raises up heroic saints during the darkest moments in Church history. From St. Athanasius defending the divinity of Christ against Arianism, to St. Catherine of Siena calling the papacy back to Rome, to St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More standing against Henry VIII's attack on marriage and the Church, God continually provides witnesses to truth when the faith is under attack. Discover the hidden sanctity, prayer, penance, courage, and martyrdom of these two remarkable saints and why their witness remains relevant in our own age of confusion and crisis.
