St. Pius I, Pope & Martyr (11 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today's reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year honors St. Pius I, one of the earliest successors of St. Peter and a martyr who guided the Church during the reigns of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. Living during a brief period of relative peace amid ongoing persecution, Pope St. Pius strengthened the Church through wise governance, reverence for the Holy Eucharist, and devotion to the unity of the liturgical year. Dom Guéranger especially highlights St. Pius' profound reverence for the Most Blessed Sacrament, preserving ancient traditions that demonstrate the Church's unwavering belief in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. In this reading you'll discover: The life and pontificate of St. Pius I His defense of Eucharistic reverence The Church's early belief in the Real Presence The ancient discipline concerning the Precious Blood The celebration of Easter throughout the universal Church The conversion of the House of Pudens into one of Rome's earliest churches Testimonies from St. Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and Origen Why Catholics have always adored Christ in the Blessed Sacrament Dom Guéranger reminds us that what modern Catholics believe about the Eucharist is not an innovation but the unchanged faith of the Apostolic Church. "We receive not as common bread nor as common drink... but the Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ." — St. Justin Martyr May St. Pius I, Pope and Martyr, obtain for us a deeper reverence, love, and devotion toward Our Eucharistic Lord. 📖 Source: The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger 00:00 Introduction 00:15 St. Pius I, Early Pope and Martyr 00:46 Strengthening the Church During Peace 00:54 The Celebration of Easter 01:17 Reverence for the Precious Blood 02:05 Election of Pope St. Pius I 02:31 Important Decrees of His Pontificate 02:38 The Church of St. Pudens 03:03 Martyrdom of St. Pius I 03:27 Testimony of St. Justin Martyr 04:07 Witnesses from Tertullian and Origen 04:43 The Church's Ancient Eucharistic Faith 05:07 Prayer to St. Pius I https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/july/july-11-st-pius-i-pope-martyr/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
