St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles (29 June): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, stands at the foundation of Christ's Church. From humble fisherman to fearless martyr, his life is one of conversion, humility, courage, and unwavering love for Our Lord. In this classic reading from Fr. Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints, discover Peter's calling by Christ, his confession of faith, his denial and repentance, his leadership of the Apostles, the conversion of thousands at Pentecost, his missionary journeys, his ministry in Rome, and his glorious martyrdom under Emperor Nero. This timeless biography reveals why Christ entrusted Peter with the keys of the Kingdom and why Catholics have always honored him as the first Pope and chief of the Apostles. 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Simon the Fisherman 2:35 Christ Calls Peter 4:23 Leaving Everything to Follow Christ 6:05 Chosen Prince of the Apostles 7:29 Peter's Great Confession 9:05 Walking on Water 10:03 Peter's Humility 11:28 Peter's Denial 14:10 Tears of Repentance 16:35 The Risen Christ Appears to Peter 18:37 Feed My Sheep 21:22 The Great Commission 24:04 Pentecost 26:08 Miracles and the Early Church 31:14 Simon Magus 32:39 Cornelius and the Gentiles 33:20 Bishop of Antioch 35:41 Peter Comes to Rome 41:36 The Epistles of St. Peter 45:22 Simon Magus Defeated 49:35 Nero's Persecution 50:14 Quo Vadis? 51:25 Crucified Upside Down 53:04 Burial of St. Peter 54:08 The Legacy of the Prince of the Apostles https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/june/st-peter-prince-of-the-apostles/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
