St. Neot, Anchoret (28 October): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

In this episode of The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we explore the life of St. Neot, the humble and holy hermit whose wisdom inspired King Alfred the Great and contributed to the foundation of Oxford University. Discover the story of a saint whose humility, learning, and devotion shaped the spiritual and intellectual history of England. From his youth at Glastonbury Abbey to his years of solitude in Cornwall, and his influence on King Alfred’s pursuit of learning and virtue, St. Neot’s life is a testament to sanctity hidden in humility. Learn how his relics were venerated across Cornwall, Huntingdonshire, and Crowland Abbey, and how his example inspired both kings and monks alike. 📖 Excerpted from “The Lives of the Saints” by Father Alban Butler – Feast Day: October 28th. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction 0:11 – Life and Virtue of St. Neot 0:31 – Monastic Vocation at Glastonbury 1:02 – Ordination and Retreat into Solitude 1:46 – Hermitage in Cornwall (St. Neot’s Stoke) 1:59 – Pilgrimage to Rome and Return 2:15 – Friendship with King Alfred 2:47 – The Foundation of Oxford University 3:12 – Scholars and Saints at Alfred’s Court 3:58 – Death and Feast of St. Neot 4:14 – Translation of Relics 4:58 – Relics at Glastonbury and Crowland 5:16 – King Alfred’s Miraculous Deliverance https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/october/st-neot-anchoret/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #StNeot #LivesOfTheSaints #FatherAlbanButler #CatholicSaints #FeastDay #KingAlfred #OxfordUniversity #GlastonburyAbbey #CatholicFaith #ChristianHistory #AngloSaxonSaints #CornwallSaints #MedievalSaints #CatholicChurch #CatholicYouTube #DailySaints 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
