St. Nicholas of Tolentino (10 September): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

On September 10th, the Church honors Saint Nicholas of Tolentino (1245–1306), a humble Augustinian friar whose life was marked by deep prayer, fasting, charity, and zeal for the salvation of souls. Born in Sant’Angelo, Italy, he dedicated himself to God from childhood, embracing a life of austerity, devotion, and compassion for the poor. Saint Nicholas became renowned for his fervent Masses, miraculous healings, and powerful preaching that moved countless hearts to conversion. For 30 years, he lived in Tolentino, where his holiness inspired devotion and his tomb remains a place of veneration. Canonized in 1446, he reminds us that true Christian life is a spiritual battle, calling us to vigilance, self-denial, and prayer. His feast day on September 10th invites us to follow his example of holiness and perseverance. 🙏 Join us in reflecting on the life of this great saint, known as the Patron of Holy Souls, who continues to intercede for the faithful today. 0:00 Introduction – Lives of the Saints 0:11 Saint Nicholas of Tolentino: Life & Background 1:00 Childhood Devotion and Early Virtues 2:10 Vocation and Entrance into the Augustinian Order 3:20 Humility, Mortification, and Daily Life 4:15 Priesthood and Miraculous Ministry 5:00 Years at Tolentino and His Preaching 5:45 Holy Death and Canonization 6:20 Lessons from Saint Nicholas of Tolentino https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/september/st-nicholas-of-tolentino/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintNicholasOfTolentino #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicSaints #SaintsStories #PatronOfHolySouls #CatholicFaith #ChristianSaints #September10Saint #ButlerLivesOfTheSaints #SaintsOfTheChurch 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
