St. Antoninus, Bishop and Confessor (10 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

St. Antoninus of Florence stands among the greatest bishops in Church history. In this reading from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger for May 10th, we discover the extraordinary holiness, humility, learning, and apostolic zeal of this Dominican archbishop who guided Florence during one of the most troubled periods of the Church. Known as “Antoninus the Counselor,” this saint combined profound scholarship with severe mortification, heroic charity, and unwavering defense of the Catholic faith. He defended the papacy against rebellious bishops, opposed schism, promoted Church unity, and became one of the brightest lights of the Dominican Order. Discover how St. Antoninus: • Practiced heroic penance and prayer • Defended the Holy See and Catholic doctrine • Guided Florence with wisdom and sanctity • Promoted unity between East and West • Became one of the Church’s model bishops This powerful meditation from Dom Guéranger reveals why St. Antoninus remains one of the great saints of the Catholic Church and a shining example for clergy and laity alike. 00:00 Introduction 00:16 The Dominican Order and St. Antoninus 00:41 His Apostolic Zeal and Charity 01:05 Defender of the Papacy and Catholic Faith 01:30 Praise of Holy Mother Church 01:45 Early Life and Entrance into the Dominicans 01:59 Prayer, Study, and Mortification 02:32 Severe Penance and Chastity 02:48 “Antoninus the Counselor” 03:05 Archbishop of Florence 03:20 His Virtues as Bishop 03:41 Learning and Scholarship 03:48 His Holy Death in 1459 04:11 Canonization and Miracles 04:20 Prayer to St. Antoninus 04:54 Defense Against Heresy 05:10 Reunion of the Greek Church with Rome 05:40 Protector of the Dominican Order 05:57 Paschal Reflection and Closing Prayer https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-10-st-antoninus-bishop-and-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.
