St. Andrew Corsini, Bishop & Confessor (4 February) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On February 4, the Church honors Saint Andrew Corsini, Bishop and Confessor, whose life stands as a powerful testimony to conversion, humility, penance, and zeal for the salvation of souls. Taken from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, this reading recounts the remarkable transformation of a man once lost to vice who became a shining light in the Church. Born into the noble Corsini family of Florence, consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and later a Carmelite friar, Saint Andrew Corsini rose to become Bishop of Fiesole—not by ambition, but by obedience to the Divine Will. Despite his reluctance and profound humility, God exalted him for the good of the Church. Known for his austere life, intense prayer, love for the poor, and miraculous gifts, Saint Andrew labored tirelessly for peace, repentance, and reconciliation with Divine Justice. His mission as papal legate to Bologna preserved countless lives and restored civic harmony. This episode from The Liturgical Year also includes a moving prayer to Saint Andrew Corsini, imploring his intercession for repentance, perseverance, humility, and victory over sin. 📖 Author: Dom Prosper Guéranger, O.S.B. 📅 Feast Day: February 4 ⛪ Rank: Bishop and Confessor 🔥 Themes: Conversion, Penance, Marian Consecration, Humility, Zeal for Souls May Saint Andrew Corsini pray for us, that we may be changed from wolves into lambs and persevere unto salvation. 0:00 Feast of St. Andrew Corsini (February 4) 0:22 Zeal for souls and reconciliation with Divine Justice 0:33 Canonization and Divine Providence 0:57 From sinner to saint: hope for conversion 1:07 Birth and Marian consecration 1:21 The vision of the wolf transformed into a lamp 1:37 Early fall into vice 1:46 Call to religious life 1:53 Entrance into the Carmelite Order 2:07 Studies in Paris and return to Italy 2:18 Election as Bishop of Fiesole 2:31 Miraculous discovery of his hiding place 2:48 Episcopal humility and pastoral charity 3:14 Mission to Bologna as papal legate 3:33 Final labors and foretold death 3:48 Death in 1373 4:02 Canonization and miracles 4:17 Prayer for repentance and perseverance https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/february/february-4-st-andrew-corsini-bishop-confessor/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
