St. Anthony: You Are the Light of the World - Part 1/6 of Fr. Antonio Vieira, SJ

About this sermon

St. Anthony of Lisbon, known throughout the world as St. Anthony of Padua, is celebrated in this magnificent sermon preached by the renowned Jesuit preacher Father Antonio Vieira, SJ, in the Church of the Portuguese in Rome. Drawing from Our Lord's words, "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14), Fr. Vieira presents St. Anthony as a saint whose mission transcended national borders. Born in Lisbon and buried in Padua, St. Anthony became a light not only for Portugal and Italy but for the entire Catholic world. In this first part of the sermon, Fr. Vieira explores: • Why St. Anthony was born in one land and buried in another • The meaning of being "the light of the world" • The glory shared between Lisbon and Padua • The incorrupt tongue of St. Anthony as a sign of his preaching mission • The universal vocation of Catholic saints • Portugal's providential mission in the spread of the Faith This sermon is one of the great masterpieces of Baroque Catholic preaching and remains a profound meditation on sanctity, evangelization, and the universal mission of the Church. "If Anthony had not been destined to shine like the sun, he would have been buried where he was born." May this sermon inspire greater devotion to St. Anthony and a deeper love for the Holy Catholic Faith. St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us. St. Anthony of Lisbon, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction 00:23 St. Anthony: Italian Portuguese & Portuguese Italian 00:56 Lisbon and Padua Share His Glory 01:10 Joseph's Desire for Burial in His Homeland 02:01 Why St. Anthony Was Buried Far From Home 02:15 "You Are the Light of the World" 02:57 Christ the Sun of Justice 03:17 Padua and the Glory of St. Anthony's Tomb 03:32 Miracles Associated with St. Anthony 04:27 The Miraculous Incorrupt Tongue 04:50 The Greatest Miracle: The Saint Himself 05:23 Portugal's Mission in the Catholic World 05:39 Rome as Head of the World 05:46 Shared Glory Between Padua and Lisbon 06:15 Speaking of St. Anthony of Lisbon 06:31 Main Theme of the Sermon 06:40 A True Portuguese and Light of the World 07:06 Portugal's Duty to Illuminate the Nations 07:13 Conclusion and Prayer To donate to the Church Restoration Project in Ireland please visit https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate & 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
