St. William, Bishop and Confessor (8 June) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Saint William of York stands as one of the Church's greatest examples of humility, obedience, and perseverance amid suffering. In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year for June 8, we learn how Saint William endured years of false accusations, opposition, and unjust deposition from his archiepiscopal see, yet never ceased to practice patience, charity, and submission to Holy Mother Church. Despite being opposed by some of the most respected churchmen of his age, including Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Saint William remained steadfast in virtue. His life demonstrates the power of meekness under trial and the triumph of truth through faithful endurance. Join us as we explore the remarkable life, sufferings, virtues, miracles, and heavenly glory of Saint William, Archbishop of York and Confessor. 00:00 Introduction 00:16 Saint William in the Roman Martyrology 01:26 The Miraculous Cross and His Election 02:15 Opposition and False Accusations 03:13 Saint Bernard's Letters Against William 05:09 When Saints Can Be Mistaken 06:42 Rome Examines the Case 07:07 Deposition of Saint William 07:31 His Heroic Patience and Silence 08:02 Restoration to the See of York 08:26 Final Days and Holy Death 08:41 Biography of Saint William 09:26 Appeal to Rome and Deposition 09:51 Retreat into Solitude and Humility 10:07 Re-Election and Confirmation 10:32 Dom Guéranger's Reflection 11:45 Learning Meekness from Christ 12:24 Lessons for Modern Catholics 13:03 Miracles at Saint William's Tomb 13:29 Prayer for the Church and England 14:03 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/june/june-8-st-william-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.
