St. Irenaeus Defended the Faith | The First Fridays That Saved a Soul

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the great martyr and Church Father St. Irenaeus of Lyons, one of the most important defenders of the Catholic Faith in the second century. In this sermon we examine: The life of St. Irenaeus His battle against Gnosticism and heresy Apostolic Tradition and Apostolic Succession The Blessed Virgin Mary as the New Eve Early Marian doctrine from the second century Why the Catholic Church preserves the fullness of truth The devotion to the Sacred Heart The First Fridays devotion The astonishing conversion of Bruno Cornacchiola, who once planned to assassinate the Pope before Our Lady intervened. This homily beautifully demonstrates how the teachings of the early Church remain unchanged today and how devotion to the Sacred Heart continues to transform souls. May the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary be blessed forever.
