St. Angela de Merici, Virgin (31 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Saint Angela Merici stands among the great virgins and educators of the Catholic Church. In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year for May 31, we learn about the extraordinary life of Saint Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline Order, whose mission transformed the education of young women and strengthened Christian society for generations. Gifted with deep contemplation from an early age, Saint Angela devoted herself entirely to Christ through prayer, penance, charity, and heroic virtue. Her pilgrimages to the Holy Land and Rome, her profound Eucharistic devotion, and her tireless service to the poor prepared her for the great work God entrusted to her: the foundation of the Company of Saint Ursula. Through the Ursulines, countless young women received solid Catholic formation, helping preserve the faith and strengthen Christian families throughout the centuries. Dom Guéranger presents Saint Angela as a model of purity, courage, sacrifice, and apostolic zeal. Join us as we meditate on the life, virtues, miracles, and lasting legacy of this remarkable saint whose influence continues to bless the Church today. 00:00 Introduction – May 31 and Saint Angela Merici 00:17 Angela Merici Among the Saints of May 00:58 Early Contemplative Life and Pilgrimages 01:23 Founding a Religious Order 02:09 The Church Honors Saint Angela 02:16 Childhood, Purity, and Virtue 02:54 Orphaned and Dedicated to Penance 03:41 Third Order of Saint Francis 04:05 Charity, Service, and Holiness 04:20 Eucharistic Devotion and Ecstasies 04:36 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land 04:53 Visit to Rome and Pope Clement VII 05:17 Foundation of the Ursuline Order 05:49 Death and Entrance into Heaven 06:04 Incorrupt Body and Miracles 06:44 Growth of Her Cult and Canonization 07:21 Reflection on Her Virtues 07:58 Legacy of Christian Education 08:22 Protectress of Young Women 09:00 Lessons for the Liturgical Life 09:57 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-31-st-angela-de-merici-virgin/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
