St. John Nepomucen, Martyr (16 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

In this powerful reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, we hear the story of the brave priest of Prague who suffered torture and martyrdom rather than betray the secrets entrusted to him in the Sacrament of Penance. His heroic witness stands as a timeless testimony to the sanctity of confession and the mercy of Jesus Christ.
