St. Ubaldus of Gubbio (16 May): Accepting God’s Will Instead of Your Own

About this sermon

Saint Ubaldus of Gubbio is one of the Church’s great examples of humility, obedience, and trust in Divine Providence. Though he desired a quiet life of solitude and penance, God continually called him back into leadership, service, and responsibility. In today’s reflection, we explore the incredible life of this Augustinian canon, prior, bishop, and confessor who surrendered his own desires to follow God’s will completely. Born in 1084 and orphaned at a young age, Saint Ubaldus was raised by the cathedral clergy of Gubbio. He became an Augustinian canon and later prior of the cathedral, reforming the community through humility and wisdom. Even when he longed for the contemplative life of a hermit, God repeatedly called him back to shepherd souls and serve His Church. This powerful Catholic reflection speaks directly to anyone struggling with vocation, purpose, frustration, or uncertainty about where God has placed them. Saint Ubaldus reminds us that holiness often comes not through escaping responsibility, but through faithfully embracing the duties God gives us each day. 🙏 Saint Ubaldus of Gubbio, pray for us. 0:00 Introduction 0:21 Saint Ubaldus of Gubbio: Early Life 1:09 What Are Augustinian Canons? 2:15 Desire for the Monastic Life 2:41 Returning to the Cathedral as Prior 3:06 Humility and Seeking Help 4:51 Reforming the Canons & Serving the Poor 5:28 Wanting the Solitary Life Again 6:01 The Hermit Rebukes Saint Ubaldus 6:41 Accepting God’s Will Instead of Our Own 7:40 Chosen as Bishop of Gubbio 8:28 His Final Illness and Penance 9:12 The Miracle of His Incorrupt Body 9:43 Lessons on Vocation and Trusting God 10:22 Saint Ubaldus of Gubbio, Pray for Us Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
