St. Edmund Campion & St. Simon of Cyrene — (1 December): Carry Your Cross Well

About this sermon

In today’s reflection for December 1st, we honor two great saints: • St. Edmund Campion, the brilliant English Jesuit martyr of the 1500s • St. Simon of Cyrene, the man who carried the Cross for Our Lord and whose legacy continues through Sacred Tradition This talk explores: ✨ Why Simon of Cyrene was chosen to carry Christ’s Cross ✨ What happened to Simon afterward according to early Christian tradition ✨ His connection to Pentecost, the Church of Antioch, and missionary activity ✨ The role of his sons Alexander and Rufus ✨ Spiritual lessons on embracing our crosses, expectations, pride, and cooperation with grace ✨ St. Augustine’s insight on participating in our own salvation You’ll also hear a powerful meditation on how our frustrations and trials can become instruments of salvation when united to Christ — and how Simon’s example teaches us to accept the crosses God permits in our lives. May St. Edmund Campion and St. Simon of Cyrene inspire us to stand firm in the Faith and carry our crosses with love, humility, and perseverance.
