St. Margaret, Virgin and Martyr (20 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On July 20, the Church honors St. Margaret, Virgin and Martyr, one of Christianity's most beloved early saints and one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. In this beautiful meditation from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, discover why St. Margaret became a model of courage, purity, and unwavering faith. Renowned throughout Christendom, St. Margaret was invoked especially by mothers in childbirth and honored throughout the Middle Ages for her powerful intercession. Her dramatic struggle against the dragon—symbolizing Satan's defeat through the power of Christ's Cross—has inspired generations of Christians to remain steadfast in spiritual combat. Dom Guéranger also reflects on the rich liturgical traditions surrounding her feast, her heavenly glory, and the enduring witness of a young virgin who chose Christ over every earthly promise.
