St. Nilus, Anchoret (12 November): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

From The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, this narration recounts the inspiring story of St. Nilus of Sinai, a holy father of the Church who forsook nobility, honors, and riches for the love of Christ. Discover how St. Nilus, once governor of Constantinople, left behind his high position to live as a hermit in the desert with his son Theodulus. His writings, especially on prayer, humility, monastic life, and spiritual warfare, continue to guide the faithful toward holiness. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction: The Life of St. Nilus the Anchoret 0:11 – The Nobility and Humility of St. Nilus 0:38 – Education under St. John Chrysostom 1:01 – From Prefect of Constantinople to Desert Hermit 1:38 – Withdrawal from the World (circa 390 AD) 1:51 – Life in the Desert of Sinai with His Son Theodulus 2:00 – Writings and Teachings of St. Nilus 2:15 – On the Monastic Life and True Virtue 3:07 – On Prayer and the Gift of the Holy Spirit 3:35 – Counsel for Lay Christians 4:01 – Letters and Wisdom of St. Nilus 4:17 – The Hermit’s Trials and Spiritual Warfare 5:21 – The Saracen Attack and Captivity of Theodulus 6:01 – St. Nilus Ordained Priest, Final Years, and Death 6:19 – Legacy and Relics of St. Nilus https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/november/st-nilus-anchoret/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintOfTheDay #StNilus #CatholicSaints #LivesOfTheSaints #AlbanButler #ChristianFaith #MonasticLife #DesertFathers #CatholicAudio #FaithAndVirtue #Holiness #ChristianInspiration #SaintsStories #SpiritualWarfare #PrayerAndFaith #CatholicChurch #ChristianWisdom 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
