St. Egenius, Bishop of Carthage and his Companions (13 July): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Eugenius, Bishop of Carthage, stood courageously against one of the fiercest persecutions endured by the Catholic Church under the Arian Vandals. In this powerful reading from Fr. Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints, discover the remarkable story of a holy bishop whose charity, steadfast faith, miraculous works, and unwavering defense of Catholic doctrine inspired thousands during one of Christianity's darkest periods. This account chronicles the devastation wrought by the Vandal kings Genseric and Huneric, the heroic endurance of thousands of bishops, priests, religious, and faithful Catholics, the miracle of confessors who continued speaking after their tongues had been cut out, and the extraordinary perseverance of St. Eugenius in exile until his holy death in A.D. 505. May his witness strengthen our own fidelity to Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.
