St. Stanislaus (7 May): The Bishop Who Raised a Dead Man to Defend the Truth

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon on St. Stanislaus, we explore one of the most extraordinary miracle stories in Catholic history — the resurrection of a dead man to testify for the truth. Fr. recounts the life of St. Stanislaus of Kraków, the courageous 11th-century bishop and martyr who stood against the corruption and immorality of King Bolesław of Poland. From the building of Christian Poland to the shocking miracle involving a soul returning from purgatory, this sermon reveals profound Catholic truths about death, judgment, purgatory, eternal life, and the courage required to defend the Faith. This sermon also reflects deeply on the Catholic understanding that death is not the end, but a transition into eternity. Through the story of Peter Miles — the man raised from the dead by St. Stanislaus — we are reminded that heaven, purgatory, and eternal salvation are more real than this present world.
