St. Salvator of Horta (18 March): The Power of the Sign of the Cross

About this sermon

Discover the incredible life of St. Salvatore of Horta, a humble Franciscan lay brother through whom God worked astonishing miracles—healing thousands with the simple yet powerful Sign of the Cross. In a time when the faith was under attack during the Protestant Reformation, God raised up saints like Salvatore to demonstrate the true power of Catholic devotion. Through humility, prayer, and deep union with Christ, he became an instrument of divine healing—restoring the sick, the blind, and the suffering. But what was the secret? The Sign of the Cross, made with faith, repentance, and devotion. In this sermon, you’ll learn: Why the Sign of the Cross holds immense spiritual power How St. Salvatore performed miracles The importance of repentance and the sacraments When and how Catholics should make the Sign of the Cross daily How this simple act protects against evil and strengthens faith ⚔️ In a world that often mocks outward signs of faith, this message is a powerful reminder: never be ashamed of the Cross of Christ. 👉 Make the Sign of the Cross often—upon waking, before meals, before work, and in times of temptation or suffering. 🙏 Support Pro-Life Real Estate If you're buying or selling a home and want to support pro-life causes, visit: 👉 https://realestateforlife.org 📿 “In the Cross is salvation, life, and protection.” – Thomas à Kempis 00:00 – Pro-Life Real Estate for Life Promotion 00:23 – Opening Prayer 00:38 – The Power of the Sign of the Cross 01:02 – Faith Under Attack During the Reformation 01:17 – Introduction to St. Salvatore of Horta 01:33 – Early Life and Humble Beginnings 01:59 – His Virtues: Humility and Mortification 02:20 – The Kitchen Miracle (Angels Prepare the Meal) 03:43 – Life at the Convent of Tortosa 04:00 – First Healing Miracles 04:24 – Thousands Seek Healing 04:39 – Transfer to Horta 05:09 – Massive Crowds and Miracles 05:48 – The Key: Confession and Worthy Communion 06:21 – Why Some Were Not Healed 06:36 – The Power of the Cross Explained 07:24 – How to Make the Sign of the Cross with Faith 07:46 – When to Make the Sign of the Cross 08:43 – Do Not Be Ashamed of Your Faith 09:08 – Protection Against Evil 09:47 – Holy Water and Prayers for the Dead 10:04 – The Cross in Times of Suffering 10:27 – Final Exhortation and Prayer For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
