St. Catharine of Genoa, Widow (14 September): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the inspiring life of Saint Catherine of Genoa (1447–1510), a widow and mystic whose holiness shone through prayer, sacrifice, charity, and service to the sick. Born into the noble Fieschi family of Genoa, she endured trials in marriage, embraced suffering with patience, and dedicated her life to ministering to the poor and the sick at the city’s great hospital. Her writings on purgatory and the love of God remain spiritual treasures, teaching the necessity of humility, mortification, and surrender to God’s will. Catherine’s life is a shining example of sanctity in daily trials and heroic charity. She died on September 14, 1510, and her body was found incorrupt. She was later canonized and is honored in the Roman Martyrology as Saint Catherine Fieschi Adorno. ✨ Learn how Saint Catherine’s virtues, mystical experiences, and works of mercy can inspire us today to live more faithfully in love and service to God. 0:00 Introduction 0:10 Saint Catherine of Genoa – Early Life 1:53 Marriage and Trials 3:11 Widowhood and Turning Toward God 3:36 Service to the Sick and Poor 5:40 Writings on Purgatory and Divine Love 6:08 Final Years and Death 6:31 Legacy, Canonization, and Miracles https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/september/st-catharine-of-genoa/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintCatherineOfGenoa #CatholicSaints #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #SaintsAndFeastDays #CatholicMystics #CatholicDevotion #CatholicInspiration #CatholicHistory 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.uscreen.io/join_us 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
