St. Pudentiana, Virgin (19 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On May 19, the Church honors Saint Pudentiana, one of the earliest Roman virgin saints of Christianity. In this reading from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, we hear the beautiful account of the holy virgin Pudentiana, daughter of the Roman senator Pudens, kinsman of the Pudens mentioned by Saint Paul in Sacred Scripture. Together with her sister Saint Praxedes, Pudentiana consecrated her virginity to Jesus Christ, distributed her inheritance to the poor, and cared for persecuted Christians during the reign of Emperor Antoninus. Her home became a sanctuary for the faithful and a place where Pope Saint Pius I celebrated the Holy Mysteries during times of persecution. Dom Guéranger reflects on the purity, charity, and heavenly hope of this youthful saint, calling her a tender flower offered to the risen Christ by the Roman Church.
