St. Philip and St. James the Less, Apostles (1 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On May 1st, the Church honors Saint Philip and Saint James, two Apostles who bore fearless witness to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, this reflection explores their lives, their martyrdom, and their powerful testimony that Christ truly rose from the dead. These holy Apostles not only saw the Risen Lord—they spoke with Him, touched Him, and ultimately gave their lives proclaiming this truth. Saint Philip, crucified like his Master, and Saint James the Just, struck down for his faith, stand as pillars of the early Church and living proof of the Gospel. This meditation also highlights: Saint Philip’s missionary work and martyrdom Saint James as Bishop of Jerusalem and “Brother of the Lord” His role in the Council of Jerusalem The powerful teaching that faith must be accompanied by works The veneration of their relics in Rome Their enduring witness during the Paschal season Let these Apostles strengthen your faith in the Resurrection and inspire you to live boldly for Christ. 🙏 “Faith without works is dead.” – St. James 0:00 Introduction – Saints Philip & James 0:18 Witnesses of the Resurrection 0:50 Martyrdom of the Apostles 1:04 Life of Saint Philip 1:29 Saint James “Brother of the Lord” 1:46 Appearance of the Risen Christ to James 2:04 Bishop of Jerusalem 2:35 Saint James the Just 2:52 Epistle of St. James – Faith & Works 3:16 Relics in Rome 3:56 Origin of May 1 Feast 4:19 Life of Saint Philip (Liturgy Reading) 5:04 Mission and Martyrdom of Philip 5:35 Life of Saint James (Breviary) 6:06 Council of Jerusalem 6:55 Martyrdom of Saint James 7:43 His Epistle and Legacy 7:57 Hymns to Saint Philip 10:45 Hymns to Saint James 13:48 Apostles and the Risen Christ 15:03 Devotion and Intercession 16:51 Prayers for the Church https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-1-st-philip-and-st-james-the-less-apostles/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
