St. Petronilla, Virgin (31 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today's reflection from Dom Prosper Guéranger's masterpiece, The Liturgical Year, honors St. Petronilla, one of the earliest and most beloved virgins of the Roman Church. Though only commemorated simply in the liturgy, St. Petronilla's witness shines brightly through Christian tradition. Ancient sources identify her as the spiritual daughter of St. Peter the Apostle. Rejecting worldly honors and marriage, she consecrated her virginity entirely to Christ. When a Roman nobleman sought her hand in marriage, she entrusted herself to her Divine Spouse through prayer and was called to Heaven before the marriage could take place. Her relics were later translated to the Vatican, where her memory remained closely associated with the Prince of the Apostles. St. Petronilla stands as a powerful example of purity, fidelity to Christ, and total trust in God's providence. In this reading from Dom Guéranger, we meditate upon her heavenly triumph and ask for her intercession as we prepare for the great solemnities of the Church. May St. Petronilla pray for us. 00:00 Introduction to St. Petronilla 00:25 Connection to St. Flavia Domitilla 00:42 Spiritual Daughter of St. Peter 00:57 Consecrated Virginity to Christ 01:04 Marriage Proposal from Flaccus 01:12 Three Days of Prayer 01:21 Death and Heavenly Reward 01:36 Translation of Her Relics 01:52 Church Near St. Peter's Basilica 02:09 Relics Moved to the New Basilica 02:23 United with St. Peter in Glory 02:31 Dom Guéranger's Prayer to St. Petronilla 02:56 Final Invocation and Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-31-st-petronilla-virgin/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
