St. John of Kanti (20 October): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Father Albin Butler, we honor St. John of Kęty (John Cantius) — a humble priest, scholar, and saint from Poland whose life of charity, wisdom, and devotion continues to inspire believers worldwide. Born in Kęty, Poland, St. John was known for his brilliance, holiness, and compassion for the poor. Despite facing envy and hardship, his unwavering faith and kindness won the love of all who knew him. He served as a professor at the University of Kraków, a parish priest, and a spiritual father to many. His motto was simple yet profound: “Fight error, but use patience, kindness, and love as your weapons.” Discover his story of humility, miracles, and saintly perseverance — a life that culminated in his canonization and a feast celebrated by the entire Western Church on October 20th. 🙏 May the life of St. John of Kęty inspire us to live with humility, patience, and charity in all we do. 00:00 Introduction 00:11 The Life of St. John of Kęty 00:30 His Studies and Priesthood 01:00 The Miracle of the Poor Beggar 01:30 His Teaching and Example of Charity 02:00 His Humility and Kindness Toward All 02:45 His Final Days and Canonization 03:10 Legacy of St. John of Kęty https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/october/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintJohnoftheDay #SaintJohnOfKenty #SaintJohnCantius #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicSaints #FeastDay #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #PolishSaints #ChristianVirtues #Holiness #FaithInAction #SaintStories #CatholicYouTube #DailySaintStory #October20 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
