St. Blaise: Bishop, Martyr, & Patron of Throat Ailments | Pray for Fidelity Unto Death (3 February)

About this sermon

Saint Blaise is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, a physician turned bishop who lived in the early centuries of the Church—when to be chosen as a bishop was often to be chosen for martyrdom. In this video, we reflect on Saint Blaise’s life, miracles, and martyrdom, including the famous miracle that made him the patron saint of throat diseases. Arrested during persecution, tortured with wool combs, and finally beheaded in 316 AD, Saint Blaise remained faithful unto death. His story reminds us that the early Church understood leadership as sacrifice. Bishops were acclaimed by the faithful as spiritual fathers—men willing to suffer and die for Christ. While the Church’s structures have changed, the call to fidelity unto death remains the same. In a time when many are falling away from the Faith, Saint Blaise stands as a powerful witness to perseverance, courage, and unwavering trust in God. Today, we pray for the grace of fidelity—that our faith may be firmly founded and remain the center of our lives. 👉 Pray to Saint Blaise for courage, faithfulness, and the strength to endure trials without compromise. 00:00 – Who Was Saint Blaise? 00:10 – One of the Fourteen Holy Helpers 00:16 – How Bishops Were Chosen in the Early Church 00:27 – Why Being a Bishop Meant Martyrdom 00:54 – Saint Blaise Hides in a Cave 01:03 – Arrest, Imprisonment, and Pastoral Care 01:15 – The Miracle of the Child with the Fishbone 01:28 – Torture with Wool Combs Explained 01:59 – Martyrdom of Saint Blaise (316 AD) 02:05 – Saint Blaise in Michelangelo’s Last Judgment 02:18 – Pray for Fidelity Unto Death Please remember visit http://www.veritascaritas.com & 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #SaintBlaise #CatholicSaints #Martyrdom #FourteenHolyHelpers #CatholicFaith #FidelityUntoDeath #ChurchHistory #CatholicDevotion #PrayForUs #TraditionalCatholic
