St. Lawrence of Brindisi (21 July): Speaking Truth in Charity

About this sermon

St. Lawrence of Brindisi (1559–1619) was one of the most extraordinary saints in Church history. A Capuchin Franciscan, Doctor of the Church, master linguist, preacher, missionary, diplomat, military chaplain, and defender of Christendom, his remarkable life demonstrates what God can accomplish through a soul completely surrendered to His will. From preaching his first sermon at just six years old to converting sinners, evangelizing Jews and Protestants through his mastery of Scripture, founding monasteries, negotiating peace throughout Europe, and inspiring an outnumbered Christian army to victory while carrying only a crucifix, St. Lawrence's life is one of heroic faith, humility, and obedience. This sermon explores: • The early holiness of St. Lawrence • His extraordinary gift for languages • His missionary work throughout Europe • His role in defending Christian civilization • The miracle witnessed during Holy Mass • His writings that earned him the title Doctor of the Church • Why true greatness always returns to humility • Lessons Catholics can apply today Even amid political turmoil, warfare, and crisis within the Church, St. Lawrence remained faithful to prayer, penance, charity, and complete obedience to God's will. May his example inspire us to become saints in our own vocation. St. Lawrence of Brindisi, pray for us. 0:00 Introduction 0:34 Who Was St. Lawrence of Brindisi? 1:00 A Holy Child and First Sermon at Age Six 1:56 Joining the Capuchins 2:03 Master of Languages and Scripture 2:53 Missionary to Jews and Protestants 3:25 Prayer, Penance, and Holiness 4:05 Called to Raise an Imperial Army 5:14 Defending Christendom Against the Ottomans 5:55 Leading the Charge with Only a Crucifix 6:50 Returning to Humility After Victory 8:01 Superior General and Diplomatic Missions 8:49 Defending Catholic Europe 9:29 Doctor of the Church 10:11 Mystical Gifts and Miracles 10:43 Final Missions 12:17 Death of St. Lawrence 12:55 Lessons for Every Catholic 13:28 St. Mary Magdalene and the Communion of Saints 14:09 Speaking the Truth with Charity 14:40 Becoming Saints Today 15:26 Closing Prayer Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
