St. Raymund of Pegnafort, Confessor (23 January) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

St. Raymond of Peñafort, Confessor and glory of the Dominican Order, stands among the great saints honored during the sacred season following Epiphany. In this profound reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, we commemorate his feast day on January 23 and reflect on his extraordinary role in the life of the Church. Saint Raymond was entrusted by Pope Gregory IX with compiling the Church’s Code of Canon Law, a monumental work that shaped ecclesiastical discipline for centuries. A master of theology, a model confessor, and an instrument of divine mercy, he was also a co-founder of the Order of Our Lady of Mercy, dedicated to the ransom of Christian captives. This episode explores: The Church’s authority to legislate holiness and justice The theology and practice of the Sacrament of Penance Saint Raymond’s role in organizing moral theology for confessors His miraculous crossing of the sea upon his cloak His devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Mercy His enduring legacy in canon law, confession, and charity The reading concludes with a powerful Dominican hymn and prayer, asking Saint Raymond’s intercession for confessors, captives, the Church, Spain, and the Dominican Order. 📖 Source: The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, O.S.B. 📅 Feast Day: January 23 🕊️ Saint: Raymond of Peñafort (1175–1275) 00:00 Introduction – The Liturgical Year (Dom Prosper Guéranger) 00:45 January 23 – Feast of St. Raymond of Peñafort 01:52 Christ the Lawgiver & the Church’s Authority 03:16 Compiler of Canon Law under Pope Gregory IX 04:10 Patron of Confessors & Moral Theology 05:08 Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary 05:55 Founding of the Order of Our Lady of Mercy 06:45 Service to the Papacy & Dominican Order 07:02 The Miracle of the Cloak upon the Sea 07:45 Death and Canonization 08:15 Dominican Hymn in Honor of St. Raymond 09:06 Prayer for Confessors & the Sacrament of Penance 10:10 Prayer for Captives, the Church, and Spain 11:00 Final Intercession & Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/january/january-23-st-pegnafort-st-emerentiana/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
