St. Charles Borromeo, Bishop & Ss. Vitalis & Agricola, Martyrs (4 November) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Celebrate the Feast of Saint Charles Borromeo (November 4th) — the humble yet fearless Archbishop of Milan, reformer of the Catholic Church, and tireless servant of Christ during the Counter-Reformation. Born into nobility, Charles embodied the motto Humilitas, guiding the faithful with courage, discipline, and compassion during one of history’s most turbulent eras. In this reflection, we explore his life, his vital role in completing the Council of Trent, his pastoral zeal in Milan, his charity during the plague, and his unshakable humility that made him one of the greatest saints of the Church. 🙏 “My little children, of whom I am in labor again, until Christ be formed in you.” — Saint Charles Borromeo 📅 Feast Day: November 4 👑 Titles: Bishop & Confessor 📍 Patron of: Seminarians, Catechists, and the Archdiocese of Milan 0:00 – Intro | Feast of Saint Charles Borromeo 0:16 – Title: Bishop and Confessor 0:19 – Humilitas and the Noble House of Borromeo 0:54 – The Calling of a Saint: Early Life and Family 1:10 – Cardinal and Archbishop at 22 2:00 – Europe in Crisis: Luther’s Revolt and the Council of Trent 3:05 – The Council of Trent Resumes 5:34 – Saint Charles and the Wisdom of God 7:10 – Legacy of the Council of Trent 8:36 – Return to Milan: Reforming the Faithful 10:43 – His Pastoral Work and Charitable Deeds 12:01 – Miracles of Humility and Chastity 13:15 – Plague of Milan – A True Shepherd’s Sacrifice 14:33 – Prayer, Discipline, and Zeal for Souls 15:38 – Final Days and Heavenly Glory 16:25 – Lessons from Saint Charles Borromeo 18:05 – Call to Renewal and Faithful Pastorship 19:59 – Prayers and Final Homage to the Saint 20:33 – Commemoration of Saints Vitalis & Agricola 21:47 – Eastern Prayers for the Faithful Departed 23:17 – Glory Be to God Who Hath So Willed https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/november/november-4-st-charles-bishop-and-confessor/ #SaintCharlesBorromeo #CatholicSaints #SensusFidelium #LivesOfTheSaints #TraditionalCatholic #CouncilOfTrent #BishopAndConfessor #CatholicFaith #FeastDay #CatholicChurch #CatholicReformation #CatholicHistory #Humilitas #ArchbishopOfMilan #SaintOfTheDay #PlagueOfMilan #CatholicDevotions #Faith #Holiness #Catholic #SaintCharles #ChurchReform 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
