St. Vitus, Modestus & Crescentia: Evangelization, Corpus Christi, and the Great Supper Explained

About this sermon

Join us as we reflect on the inspiring witness of St. Vitus, St. Modestus, and St. Crescentia, early Christian martyrs who courageously passed on the Catholic faith despite persecution during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. In this sermon, we explore the powerful connection between their example and the Gospel of the Great Supper (Luke 14), as well as St. John's exhortation to love not merely in words, but in deeds and truth. The lesson is clear: Catholics are called not only to practice charity but to share the greatest gift of all—the fullness of the Catholic Faith. This reflection highlights the significance of Corpus Christi, the Holy Mass, the Lord's Supper, evangelization, spiritual family, baptism, and the responsibility of Catholics to invite souls into Christ's Church. If we truly love our neighbor, we must desire their salvation and bring them to the feast prepared by God.
