St. Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr (28 June) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

One of the greatest Fathers of the early Church, St. Irenaeus of Lyons stands as a fearless defender of Catholic doctrine, Apostolic Tradition, and the Primacy of the Roman Church. In this powerful reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, discover how the disciple of St. Polycarp, who himself had been taught by St. John the Apostle, confronted the errors of Gnosticism and preserved the faith handed down from the Apostles. This meditation explores: St. Irenaeus' connection to the Apostles His defense of Sacred Tradition The authority of the Church of Rome His battle against Gnosticism and heresy The unity of the Catholic Church His pastoral charity and wisdom His glorious martyrdom for Christ Dom Guéranger presents St. Irenaeus not only as one of the Church's greatest theologians but also as a saint whose life demonstrates that truth and charity always go together. 00:00 Introduction 00:18 St. Irenaeus and the Church of Lyons 01:13 Disciple of Polycarp and the Apostles 01:28 The Primacy of the Roman Church 02:24 The Rise of Gnosticism 05:27 Defending Apostolic Tradition 06:23 The Unity of the Catholic Church 08:00 "Where the Church Is, There Is the Spirit of God" 09:52 The Heart of St. Irenaeus 10:45 Following Christ Through Faith 12:33 Union with God 13:10 Charity and Truth Against Heresy 14:56 Letter to Florinus 16:58 Life of St. Irenaeus 18:04 Ministry in Gaul 19:27 The Easter Controversy 20:14 Against Heresies 21:06 Martyrdom of St. Irenaeus 22:42 Prayer to the Great Bishop and Martyr https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/june/june-28-st-irenaeus-bishop-and-martyr/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
