St. Elizabeth, Queen of Portugal (8 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

St. Elizabeth of Portugal (1271–1336), known as the Mother of Peace, stands among the greatest Catholic queens in history. In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, discover the extraordinary life of the holy queen whose charity, humility, and fearless peacemaking helped preserve Christian civilization during one of Europe's most turbulent periods. A descendant of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Queen Elizabeth became renowned for reconciling kings, ending civil wars, caring for the poor, founding monasteries and hospitals, and performing countless miracles—including the famous Miracle of the Roses. Even after becoming a widow, she embraced the Franciscan habit and dedicated herself entirely to prayer, penance, and works of mercy. Dom Guéranger beautifully explains how hidden holiness accomplishes more for nations than armies or politicians ever could, presenting St. Elizabeth as one of God's instruments for preserving Christendom. 00:00 Introduction 00:18 St. Elizabeth Among the Great Christian Queens 01:06 The Legacy of St. Elizabeth of Hungary 01:48 Spain and Christendom in Crisis 03:17 Civil Wars Among Christian Kingdoms 04:22 The Royal Line of St. Elizabeth 05:03 The Mother of Peace 06:16 Birth of St. Elizabeth of Portugal 07:31 Marriage to King Denis of Portugal 07:48 A Life of Prayer, Fasting & Charity 08:04 The Miracle of Charity 08:11 The Miracle of the Roses 08:26 Hospitals, Churches & Monasteries 08:41 Widowhood and Franciscan Life 09:39 Final Mission of Peace 10:01 Holy Death and Miracles 10:18 Canonization of St. Elizabeth 10:35 Dom Guéranger's Reflection 11:22 The Hidden Power of the Saints 12:26 A Queen Crowned in Heaven 13:01 Prayer for Spain, Portugal & the World 14:04 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/july/july-8-st-elizabeth-queen-of-portugal/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
