St. Augustine, Bishop, Apostle of England (28 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

St. Augustine of Canterbury, known as the Apostle of England, was sent by Pope St. Gregory the Great to convert the Anglo-Saxons and restore the Christian faith to England after the Saxon invasions. In this reading from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger for May 28, we hear the inspiring story of Augustine’s mission, the conversion of King Ethelbert, the baptism of thousands, and England’s rise as the “Isle of Saints.” This powerful meditation also reflects on England’s Catholic heritage, the missionary zeal of the Benedictines, and the tragic separation from Rome that followed centuries later. Dom Guéranger’s reflections remain deeply relevant for Catholics praying for the conversion and restoration of nations today. 📖 From The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger 🕯️ Feast of St. Augustine of Canterbury – May 28 ✝️ Apostle of England | Benedictine Missionary | Archbishop of Canterbury 0:00 – Introduction 0:15 – St. Augustine: Apostle of England 1:32 – England’s Re-conversion After the Saxon Invasions 3:13 – The Mission of St. Augustine and the Conversion of England 4:30 – Augustine Sent by St. Gregory the Great 5:26 – Miracles on the Journey to England 5:58 – Arrival in England with the Cross of Christ 6:37 – Procession into Canterbury 7:02 – Conversion of King Ethelbert 7:10 – Baptism of Thousands 7:25 – Augustine Consecrated Bishop 8:02 – Letters from St. Gregory the Great 8:25 – Council with the Ancient British Christians 8:48 – Miracle of the Blind Man 9:04 – Death of St. Augustine 9:51 – Hymn to the Apostle of England 11:05 – Meditation on England’s Catholic Heritage 12:11 – England’s Fall from the Faith 14:16 – Hope for England’s Return to the Church 14:41 – Prayer to St. Augustine for Conversion 15:07 – The One True Faith and the Catholic Church https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-28-st-augustine-bishop-apostle-of-england/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
