St. Elizabeth of Portugal (8 July) & a Third Order to Counteract Freemasonry

About this sermon

St. Elizabeth of Portugal (1271–1336) is remembered as one of the Church's greatest peacemakers. A queen, widow, and Third Order Franciscan, she devoted her life to reconciling enemies, ending family feuds, serving the poor, and promoting peace through holiness. In this sermon, we explore the remarkable influence of St. Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Third Order throughout history. From kings and queens such as St. Louis IX, St. Ferdinand III, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and St. Elizabeth of Portugal to popes and lay faithful, countless Catholics embraced the Franciscan spirit while remaining active in the world. The sermon also examines Pope Leo XIII's teaching in Humanum Genus, where he encouraged the promotion of the Third Order of St. Francis as a powerful means of renewing Christian society and resisting the influence of Freemasonry. The discussion concludes with St. Maximilian Kolbe's Militia Immaculatae and a call to consecrate ourselves to Our Lady under the banner of the Immaculate Conception. May St. Elizabeth of Portugal obtain for us true peace, charity, and the courage to transform society through faithful Catholic living. 00:00 Introduction 00:24 Feast of St. Elizabeth of Portugal 01:14 Her life after the death of King Denis 01:37 The Franciscan Third Order explained 02:18 The influence of St. Francis of Assisi 02:56 Franciscan kings and queens 03:52 Saints from every walk of life 04:16 Pope Leo XIII and the Third Order 04:25 Humanum Genus and Freemasonry 05:36 Why Pope Leo XIII promoted the Third Order 06:31 St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Militia Immaculatae 06:56 Portugal, Fatima, and devotion to Mary 07:19 St. Elizabeth the Peacemaker 07:43 A call for Catholics to sanctify society 08:01 Final blessing For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ & their channel https://www.youtube.com/c/RadioImmaculata/featured & 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.
