St. Paschal Baylon (17 May): Became a Saint Through Love of God

About this sermon

St. Paschal Baylon is one of the Church’s greatest examples of humility, Eucharistic devotion, and authentic sanctity. Born into poverty in 16th century Spain, St. Paschal lived as a simple Franciscan lay brother, embracing penance, prayer, fasting, and complete love of God. Though he never became a priest, his holiness transformed countless souls and earned him the title “Seraph of the Eucharist.” In this sermon, we explore: The life and miracles of St. Paschal Baylon His extraordinary devotion to the Blessed Sacrament Why sanctity is more than fasting or external works The difference between natural virtue and true holiness How humility, patience, and resignation to God’s will lead to sainthood The importance of charity and meekness in the spiritual life Eucharistic devotion and reverence at the Consecration Lessons from the saints on authentic holiness St. Paschal’s life reminds us that sanctity is not about natural temperament, zeal, or external accomplishments alone — it is about the love of God transforming the soul. Through prayer, humility, suffering, patience, and devotion to the Holy Eucharist, he became one of the Church’s most beloved saints. May St. Paschal Baylon intercede for us and obtain for us a greater love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. “Love of God… is always going to make us a saint.” 00:00 – Introduction to St. Paschal Baylon 00:36 – Born on Pentecost in 1540 Spain 00:53 – A humble shepherd devoted to prayer 01:18 – Entering the Franciscan monastery 01:33 – His life as a simple lay brother 01:51 – Extreme penances and austerities 02:21 – The true purpose of penance 03:08 – Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament 03:50 – The miraculous vision of the monstrance 04:30 – Sent to dispute Calvinist heretics 05:20 – Failure, suffering, and obedience 05:42 – Death on Pentecost and final miracles 06:23 – The incorrupt body of St. Paschal 06:48 – Patron saint of Eucharistic societies 07:05 – Lessons on authentic sanctity 07:39 – St. Francis de Sales on false devotion 08:20 – How trials reveal true holiness 09:14 – The balance of meekness and heroism 09:37 – Love of God as the path to sanctity 10:13 – Patient acceptance of God’s will 10:29 – Final prayer and blessing #Catholic #SaintPaschalBaylon #BlessedSacrament #Eucharist #CatholicSaints #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicSermon #Franciscan #HolyMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicTeaching #Adoration #CatholicSpirituality #LatinMass #Christianity Please 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.
