St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishop & Doctor of the Church (9 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today in The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, we honor the great Saint Gregory Nazianzen, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, and one of the most profound theologians in Christian history. Known throughout East and West as “The Theologian,” Saint Gregory Nazianzen defended the doctrine of the Holy Trinity against heresy with unmatched eloquence, holiness, and wisdom. A close friend of Saint Basil the Great, Gregory united deep contemplation with fiery preaching, leaving behind some of the Church’s most beautiful writings on the Resurrection, the Trinity, and the divinity of Christ. In this powerful reading, Dom Guéranger presents Saint Gregory’s Easter sermon — a triumphant proclamation of Christ’s Resurrection and the renewal of mankind: “Christ hath risen from the dead: do ye also rise.” The meditation also explores Gregory’s holy life of prayer, study, asceticism, and courageous defense of Catholic truth amid theological conflict and political turmoil in Constantinople. May Saint Gregory Nazianzen help us remain steadfast in the true Faith, devoted to the Holy Trinity, and filled with love for the risen Christ. 00:00 – Introduction 00:17 – Saint Gregory Nazianzen introduced 00:33 – The friend of Saint Basil the Great 00:48 – Why Gregory is called “The Theologian” 01:03 – Beginning of Gregory’s Easter sermon 01:34 – Vision of the risen Christ 02:06 – “Christ hath risen from the dead” 02:22 – The new creation in Christ 02:56 – “The Pasch in honor of the Trinity” 03:20 – The glory of Easter morning 03:55 – Gregory’s contemplative spirit 04:29 – Defender of the Faith in Constantinople 04:52 – Gregory’s early life and education 05:17 – Monastic life with Saint Basil 05:47 – Conversion of Constantinople from heresy 06:04 – Gregory resigns his episcopal see 06:27 – His theological writings and holiness 06:52 – Defender of Christ’s divinity 07:16 – Greek Church praises Saint Gregory 08:04 – Ornament of martyrs and saints 08:28 – Fountain of theology and wisdom 09:14 – Teacher of the Holy Trinity 09:54 – Gregory intercedes for the Church 10:19 – Organ of the Holy Spirit 11:06 – Chosen as God’s theologian 12:04 – Gregory combats heresy 12:21 – Harp of the Holy Spirit 13:01 – East and West honor Gregory 13:42 – Prayer against false doctrine 14:17 – Hope for Christian unity 15:07 – Return to the One True Church 15:49 – Gregory’s love for the Resurrection 16:20 – Perseverance until the eternal Easter https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-9-st-gregory-nazianzen-bishop-doctor-of-the-church/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
