St Albert the Great (15 November) Patron of Scientists & Teacher of Aquinas

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Albert the Great, one of the most remarkable minds in the history of the Church. Known as Doctor Universalis, St. Albert earned the title “the Great” because of his extraordinary depth of knowledge across nearly every field of study. This reflection explores his brilliant legacy as a Dominican, bishop, scientist, and teacher of St. Thomas Aquinas. St. Albert wrote an estimated 20 million words, covering topics ranging from theology and philosophy to astronomy, botany, zoology, mineralogy, dentistry, herbal medicine, and more. His curiosity and methodical investigation helped bring Aristotelian thought to the West and shaped the foundations of Western science. Learn how St. Albert debunked popular myths of his time, why Pope Pius XII declared him the Patron Saint of Scientists, and how his famous pupil—St. Thomas Aquinas—earned the nickname “the Dumb Ox,” only for St. Albert to predict that his “roaring” would one day fill the world. Join us as we reflect on the life, wisdom, and spiritual example of St. Albert the Great—a model of humility, intellect, and devotion. ✝️ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 📌 Timestamps 00:00 – Opening prayer 00:08 – Introduction to the Feast of St. Albert the Great 00:16 – Why he is called “the Great” 00:30 – His extraordinary written works 00:45 – Range of subjects St. Albert wrote about 01:01 – His scientific curiosity & investigations 01:18 – Examples debunking myths (pelicans, eagles, etc.) 01:40 – Patron of Natural Sciences 01:47 – His role as teacher of St. Thomas Aquinas 02:05 – Origin of the “Dumb Ox” nickname 02:13 – Albert’s prophecy about St. Thomas 02:16 – His appointment as bishop 02:22 – His resignation and return to religious life 02:35 – His work as Dominican provincial 02:50 – His extensive travels and writing 03:09 – Closing #StAlbertTheGreat #CatholicSaints #FeastDay #CatholicHomily #Dominicans #ThomasAquinas #PatronOfScientists #CatholicChurch #FaithAndScience #CatholicHistory #SaintBiography For more please visit http://www.veritascaritas.com & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
