The Astonishing Holiness of St. Felix of Cantalice | Humility, Poverty & the Rosary (18 May)

About this sermon

Today we reflect on the extraordinary life of St. Felix of Cantalice, the humble Capuchin lay brother who transformed Rome through holiness, prayer, humility, and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Born into poverty, St. Felix spent decades as a shepherd and laborer before entering the Capuchin Franciscans. Though unable to read or write, learned theologians sought his counsel because of his profound holiness and wisdom. St. Philip Neri himself called him the greatest saint living in the Church at that time. In this sermon we explore: ✠ The humility of St. Felix ✠ His devotion to Our Lady and the Rosary ✠ His life of penance and prayer ✠ His supernatural influence over sinners in Rome ✠ Catholic teaching on money, stewardship, charity, and beauty in the Church ✠ Why holiness matters more than worldly knowledge May St. Felix of Cantalice inspire us to live lives of simplicity, repentance, and devotion to Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother. 0:00 — Real Estate for Life Sponsor 0:24 — Opening Prayer 0:33 — Feast of St. Felix of Cantalice 1:00 — Vision of the Christ Child 1:17 — Childhood and Early Life 1:57 — Desire for the Hermit Life 2:15 — Entering the Capuchins 2:41 — Prayer Before the Crucifix 3:16 — Severe Temptations and Trials 3:25 — Sent to Rome as Quester 3:50 — The Holiness of St. Felix 4:22 — Rebuking Sin in Rome 5:01 — 40 Years Influencing Souls 5:17 — “Lead a Good Life and Pray the Rosary” 5:40 — St. Philip Neri and St. Charles Borromeo 6:21 — Extreme Penance and Mortification 7:00 — “I Am the Friars’ Donkey” 7:23 — Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary 7:39 — Apparition of Our Lady and the Christ Child 7:56 — “Ask and You Shall Receive” 8:13 — Catholic Teaching on Money and Stewardship 9:29 — Using Wealth for the Church and the Poor 9:45 — Beauty in the Catholic Church 10:25 — Final Exhortation and Prayer 11:01 — Closing Prayer For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
