St. Eustochium (28 September): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

In this episode from Butler’s Lives of the Saints, we reflect on the life of Saint Eustochium, the holy virgin daughter of Saint Paula and spiritual disciple of Saint Jerome. Renowned for her humility, devotion, and vow of virginity, she modeled a life of prayer, asceticism, simplicity, and charity, becoming an abbess after her mother’s death. Saint Jerome dedicated several writings to her, including his Treatise on Virginity, offering guidance on purity, humility, vigilance, temperance, and prayer. Saint Eustochium remained steadfast in faith through trials, including the burning of her monastery by heretics, and was remembered as a wise and virtuous servant of God. 🙏 May the example of Saint Eustochium inspire us in holiness, prayer, and devotion. 0:11 – Introduction: St. Eustochium, daughter of St. Paula 1:23 – Under the direction of St. Jerome, vow of virginity 2:20 – Teachings on purity, humility, and prayer 3:28 – The discipline of prayer and the sign of the cross 4:03 – Journeys with her mother and monastery in Bethlehem 4:36 – Persecution and burning of the monastery 5:01 – Death around 419, burial beside St. Paula https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/september/st-eustochium/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintEustochium #ButlersLivesOfTheSaints #CatholicSaints #SaintOfTheDay #LivesOfTheSaints #StJerome #StPaula #CatholicFaith #ChristianVirtue #CatholicChurch #DailySaint #FaithAndHoliness 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
