St. Edmund Campion, Prophet Nahum, & Simon of Cyrene (1 December): Carry Your Cross

About this sermon

In this homily for the First Thursday Votive Mass of Our Lord Jesus Christ, High Priest, we reflect on the mystery of Christ’s priesthood, the meaning of sacrifice, and the profound witness of several saints commemorated today. Father shares a powerful meditation on St. Edmund Campion, Nahum the Prophet, and St. Simon of Cyrene, drawing out timeless lessons for Catholics seeking holiness in a troubled world. 💠 St. Edmund Campion – English Jesuit priest, martyr, scholar, and patron saint of booksellers 💠 Nahum the Prophet – a reminder of God’s desire for the salvation of all mankind, including the Gentiles 💠 St. Simon of Cyrene – the man who carried the Cross with Christ, and a profound symbol of accepting suffering with love This homily explores how each of these figures teaches us to embrace our trials, unite our sufferings to Christ, and cultivate a heart ready to carry whatever cross He allows in our lives. Father also discusses the spiritual significance of accepting suffering as reparation for sin, and why we must avoid complaining under the crosses we bear. 🙏 “Christ carried a Cross that was not His—will we carry the small crosses He asks of us?” 00:00 – Introduction 00:31 – Purpose of the Votive Mass of Jesus Christ, High Priest 01:01 – Saints of the Day Overview 01:29 – Life of St. Edmund Campion 03:04 – Martyrdom and Patronage of St. Edmund Campion 03:22 – Nahum the Prophet and God’s Care for All Nations 04:48 – Freedom, Salvation, and God’s Will 05:05 – St. Simon of Cyrene Carrying the Cross 06:08 – Early Christian Tradition About Cyrene 07:28 – Simon’s Sons and Apostolic Connections 08:49 – The Spiritual Meaning of Simon’s Cross 09:38 – Why We Should Accept Our Sufferings 10:52 – Reparation and Embracing Our Crosses 11:00 – Closing Prayer and Blessing Please 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
