St. Anthony: You Are the Light of the World - Part 5/6 of Fr. Antonio Vieira, SJ

About this sermon

Part 5 of Fr. Antonio Vieira's extraordinary sermon for the Feast of St. Anthony of Lisbon explores the third movement of light: the journey across the sea. Using biblical imagery, prophecy, and the history of Portuguese exploration, Fr. Vieira presents St. Anthony and the Portuguese navigators as bearers of the light of Christ to nations long hidden in darkness. In this sermon, Fr. Vieira reflects upon: • St. Anthony's voyage from West to East • The symbolism of the sun carrying health in its wings • Portugal's maritime mission • The "Chariots of Salvation" described by the Prophet Habakkuk • The discovery of new routes across unknown seas • The spread of the Gospel through Portuguese exploration • Isaiah's prophecy of swift messengers • The evangelization of Africa, India, China, Japan, and beyond • The River Tagus and Portugal's missionary destiny Fr. Vieira describes the great Portuguese ships as floating churches carrying the Cross, Faith, Hope, Charity, and the Gospel to the ends of the earth. "They carried on the flags the wounds of Christ, on the mast the Cross, on the compass the Faith, on the anchors Hope, on the helm Charity." This sermon is a magnificent meditation on missionary courage, exploration, evangelization, and the providential spread of Christianity throughout the world. Join us for Part 5 of this six-part journey through one of the greatest sermons ever preached in honor of St. Anthony of Lisbon. St. Anthony of Lisbon, pray for us. St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction 00:23 The Third Movement of Light 00:30 St. Anthony's Journey from West to East 00:44 The Sun That Carries Health 00:58 King Hezekiah's Sign 01:08 The Course of St. Anthony and Portugal 01:25 The Sun Entering the Sea 01:34 St. Anthony Sets Sail 01:44 The First Great Portuguese Voyages 01:59 Habakkuk's Chariots of Salvation 02:14 The Portuguese Navigations 02:27 God Opens a Path Through the Sea 02:44 Unknown Oceans and New Routes 02:53 Sailing Without Charts 03:09 New Winds, New Stars, New Seas 03:25 Horses and Chariots of Salvation 03:40 The Great Ships of Portugal 03:57 What the Ships Carried 04:12 Faith, Hope, Charity, and the Gospel 04:21 Bringing Light to the Nations 04:31 Isaiah's Prophecy Fulfilled 04:48 Swift Messengers to Distant Peoples 05:20 The Antipodes and the Ends of the Earth 05:44 St. Augustine and the Unknown World 06:07 The Impossibility of Crossing the Ocean 06:22 Portuguese Valor Beyond Human Understanding 06:45 Jonah and the Whale 07:12 Nineveh and the Prophet's Journey 07:47 A Mission Reserved for Portugal 08:02 The Triumph Over the Seas 08:18 The Church From Sea to Sea 08:35 The River Tagus and the Ends of the Earth 08:44 St. Anthony Reaches Italy 08:53 Portuguese Missions Across the World 09:09 Light to the Nations 09:17 Why the Portuguese Were Called the Light of the World 09:36 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...
