Sts. Gordian and Epimachus, Martyrs (10 May) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On May 10th, Holy Mother Church honors the glorious martyrdom of Saints Gordian and Epimachus, heroic witnesses of Jesus Christ whose courage conquered the fear of death. In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, we hear the moving account of Gordian, a Roman magistrate under Julian the Apostate, who abandoned his tribunal to embrace the Christian Faith and ultimately suffer martyrdom for Christ. United with the holy martyr Epimachus of Alexandria, these saints remind us that the triumph of the Cross reaches across nations, centuries, and persecutions. Their relics were laid together in Rome, symbolizing the unity of all who die for the Name of Jesus Christ. This meditation also reflects upon the future trials of the Church, the coming storms foretold by the saints, and the need for courage and perseverance in our own troubled times. May Saints Gordian and Epimachus strengthen Catholics everywhere to remain faithful unto death. “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, although he be dead, shall live.” — John 11:25 00:00 – Introduction 00:19 – Two fresh martyrs ascend to Heaven 00:45 – Gordian abandons the tribunal for Christ 01:02 – Epimachus and the relics from Alexandria 01:18 – United in martyrdom and victory 01:32 – Christ the Resurrection and the Life 01:56 – Gordian converted and baptized 02:21 – Imprisonment and interrogation 02:35 – Scourging and beheading of Saint Gordian 02:44 – Burial beside Saint Epimachus 03:02 – Martyrdom of Epimachus by fire 03:08 – Reflection on future martyrdoms 03:32 – Prayer for the Church in dark times 03:56 – Final exhortation to perseverance https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/may/may-10-sts-gordian-and-epimachus-martyrs/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
