St. Anacletus, Pope and Martyr (13 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today's reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year honors St. Anacletus (also known as Cletus), the third Pope of the Catholic Church and one of the immediate successors of St. Peter. Ordained by the Prince of the Apostles himself, St. Anacletus governed the Church during the reign of Emperor Trajan, strengthening ecclesiastical discipline while overseeing the remarkable growth of Christianity in Rome amid fierce persecution. Dom Guéranger reflects on the heroic age of the Church, when the blood of the martyrs transformed pagan Rome into the heart of Christendom. In this reading you'll discover: The apostolic succession from St. Peter Why St. Anacletus occupies a unique place among the early Popes The flourishing of the Church in first-century Rome The martyrdoms of the first Christians The beginnings of the Roman catacombs The burial of St. Peter and the early Popes Ecclesiastical laws established by St. Anacletus The importance of fidelity to one's vocation in the Mystical Body of Christ May the prayers of St. Anacletus, Pope and Martyr, strengthen our fidelity to the Apostolic Faith and our love for Christ's Holy Church. "Happy art thou... among the foundations whereon rest forever the strength and beauty of the Church." 📖 Source: The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger 00:00 Introduction 00:16 St. Anacletus, Successor of St. Peter 00:55 Ordained by the Prince of the Apostles 01:04 St. John Comes to Rome 01:43 The Growth of the Church Amid Persecution 02:13 Roman Martyrs and the Nobility 02:27 Honoring the Tomb of St. Peter 02:58 Ecclesiastical Decrees of St. Anacletus 03:29 His Martyrdom and Burial 03:43 His Place Among the Early Popes 04:16 Meditation on the Foundations of the Church https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/july/july-13-saint-anacletus-pope-and-martyr/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
