St. Albert the Great, Bishop & Doctor (15 November) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Saint Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus)—celebrated on November 15th—is one of the most extraordinary minds in the history of the Catholic Church. Known as the “Universal Doctor” and the “Wonder of the Century,” Saint Albert was a Dominican bishop, philosopher, theologian, scientist, diplomat, and spiritual master. This video presents a full narrative of his life, virtues, works, and legacy, taken from a traditional Catholic reading honoring his feast day. From his intense devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to his groundbreaking scientific observations, to his formation of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Albert stands as a model of holiness united with intellectual brilliance. The Church has revered him for centuries. His canonization and declaration as Doctor of the Church were completed by Pope Pius XI in 1931, recognizing both his supernatural holiness and his unparalleled contributions to Christian philosophy and sacred theology.
