The Astonishing Holiness of St. Catherine of Siena (30 April)

About this sermon

St. Catherine of Siena is one of the most extraordinary saints in the history of the Catholic Church. A mystic, miracle worker, stigmatist, and Doctor of the Church, she lived a life so united to Christ that she could truly say, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” From her earliest years, Catherine desired nothing but Christ crucified. She offered her entire life as a sacrifice for the salvation of souls, enduring intense penance, mystical experiences, and even bearing the wounds of Christ. Despite her frailty, she served the sick, converted sinners—even at the moment of execution—and advised popes with bold charity and humility. In this video, we explore: The mystical union between Christ and St. Catherine Her radical life of sacrifice and prayer Her miracles, stigmata, and spiritual authority Her role in guiding the papacy back to Rome Why she remains one of the most powerful saints today St. Catherine shows us that holiness is not about losing ourselves—but becoming fully alive in Christ. 00:00 Christ Living in the Soul 00:44 “It Is No Longer I Who Live” – St. Paul 01:17 The Glory of the Saints 01:57 Introduction to St. Catherine of Siena 02:20 Her Total Love for Christ 03:00 Offering Her Life for Souls 03:17 The Stigmata and Union with Christ 03:40 A Life of Extreme Asceticism 04:14 Authority Over Demons 04:30 Counselor, Miracle Worker, and Peacemaker 05:03 Why She Can Seem Intimidating 05:24 Her Ordinary Background 06:03 Serving the Sick and Plague Victims 06:43 Ministering to the Condemned 07:23 Converting a Man at Execution 07:54 Her Accessibility to All 08:10 Power of Her Intercession 09:00 Doctor of the Church & Patroness of Europe 09:16 Catherine’s Letter to the Pope 10:06 Boldness and Humility 11:00 Calling the Pope to Holiness 12:07 Final Plea for the Church 12:40 Conclusion & Prayer For more please visit http://stjohntryon.com/homiliesaudio/audiohomilies2021.html & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest https://sensusfidelium.us/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/april/april-30-catherine-of-siena-virgin/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
