St. Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury (16 November): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Born in humble circumstances yet rich in virtue, St Edmund was formed by a deeply holy mother who raised him in prayer, penance, and total trust in God. From his early years reciting the Psalter on his knees, to his studies at Oxford and Paris, to his life as a professor, theologian, contemplative, and finally Archbishop of Canterbury, Edmund shines as an example of: Love of prayer and contemplation Radical mortification and penance Zeal for Church reform and discipline Deep charity toward persecutors and enemies Total detachment from riches and honors This reading recounts: His childhood and family in Abingdon His rigorous education and vow of perpetual chastity under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary His teaching at Oxford and Paris and his influence on future saints His preaching, miracles, and reform of morals and Church discipline His conflicts with corrupt customs and royal abuses His exile to France, holy death, incorrupt body, and canonization 00:00 – Introduction – Lives of the Saints, Fr.
