St. Bernadine of Siena (20 May): Leave All Things for Christ

About this sermon

St. Bernardine of Siena was one of the greatest Catholic preachers of the 1400s — a fearless Franciscan saint who confronted corruption, revenge, usury, witchcraft, immorality, and spiritual decay during one of the darkest periods in European history. In this sermon, we explore the extraordinary life of this powerful saint and the timeless lessons Catholics must learn from him today. As a young man during the Black Plague, St. Bernardine volunteered in plague hospitals while thousands died around him. Later, despite having a weak voice, God transformed him into one of the most influential preachers in Church history. His sermons called people to repentance, courage, and total devotion to Christ. This talk also examines: The dangers of attachment to worldly comforts The Catholic response to moral corruption The spiritual dangers of revenge and pride How saints reform society through holiness Why Catholics today face many of the same sins as the medieval world St. Bernardine’s famous devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus (IHS) helped unite divided families and cities under Christ. His example reminds us that God does not call the qualified — He qualifies the called. 00:00 – Introduction to St. Bernardine of Siena 00:30 – The Black Plague and Bernardine’s Heroic Charity 01:17 – Exhaustion, Recovery, and Religious Vocation 01:50 – Joining the Franciscans 02:07 – A Weak Voice Chosen for Preaching 02:40 – St. Vincent Ferrer’s Prophecy 03:04 – The Miracle of Bernardine’s Voice 03:35 – His Simple but Powerful Preaching Style 03:59 – The Sins Destroying Society 04:46 – Fighting Revenge and Family Vendettas 05:25 – The Holy Name of Jesus (IHS Symbol) 06:30 – Accused of Heresy and Vindicated by Popes 06:54 – Preaching 80 Days in Rome 07:01 – Refusing the Office of Bishop 07:53 – Reforming the Franciscan Order 08:15 – Influence on St. John Capistrano 08:38 – His Final Preaching Mission and Death 09:17 – Applying the Gospel to Our Lives Today 10:05 – What Are You Attached To? 10:29 – Becoming Missionaries for Christ 10:46 – Final Prayer and Blessing Please 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
