St. Titus, Bishop and Confessor (13 February) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On January 13, Holy Mother Church honors Saint Titus, Bishop of Crete, Confessor, and beloved disciple of Saint Paul the Apostle. In this profound reading from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, we enter the apostolic age of the Church and contemplate the life, mission, and sanctity of one of her earliest bishops. Saint Titus was personally formed by Saint Paul, entrusted with the governance of the Church in Crete, and immortalized through the Epistle to Titus, inspired by the Holy Ghost and preserved as Sacred Scripture. Though few details of his life remain, his holiness shines through his zeal, prudence, perseverance, and fidelity to the Gospel. This reading reflects on: The apostolic foundations of the episcopacy The qualities required of a true Catholic bishop Titus’ missionary labors across Crete, Corinth, Macedonia, and Dalmatia His role as a pillar of the infant Church His peaceful death at the age of 94, full of merit and sanctity Dom Guéranger also offers a powerful prayer to Saint Titus, imploring him to intercede for: Faithful Catholic pastors The Greek Church Lands fallen into schism and infidelity The perseverance of the Church Militant until the end of time 📖 “Every quality enumerated by Saint Paul as required in a bishop was possessed by thee.” This is a must-listen for Catholics devoted to: The Traditional Liturgical Year Apostolic Christianity Saints of the New Testament Catholic priesthood and episcopal holiness 00:00 – Introduction: Feast of Saint Titus 00:16 – Saint Titus: Bishop and Confessor 00:35 – The Epistle of Saint Paul to Titus 01:10 – Establishing the Faith in Crete 01:41 – Titus formed by Saint Paul 02:10 – Saint Paul’s affection for Titus 02:33 – Mission to Corinth and almsgiving 03:01 – Apostolic journeys and sufferings 03:21 – Titus made Bishop of Crete 03:38 – Model of episcopal holiness 03:56 – Mission to Dalmatia 04:09 – Holy death at age 94 04:21 – Praise from the Fathers of the Church 04:34 – Universal feast established by Pius IX 04:49 – Prayer to Saint Titus 05:27 – Intercession for the Church Militant 06:03 – Prayer for pastors and the Greek Church https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/february/february-6-st-titus-bishop-and-confessor/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
