The Astonishing Holiness of St. Paschal Baylon | Patron Saint of Eucharistic Devotion (17 May)

About this sermon

St. Paschal Baylon was a humble Franciscan lay brother whose entire life revolved around love for the Blessed Sacrament. Born to poor shepherds in Spain, he spent his youth in prayer, fasting, penance, and Eucharistic adoration. Though uneducated, he taught himself to read and became one of the Church’s greatest examples of simplicity united to sanctity. In this sermon, we explore: ✠ His intense devotion to the Eucharist ✠ The miraculous apparition of a monstrance supported by angels ✠ His severe penances and Franciscan poverty ✠ His failed mission to convert Calvinists in France ✠ The deeper lesson about holiness, wisdom, and obedience ✠ Why God gives different devotions to different souls St. Paschal Baylon reminds us that sanctity is not merely words or arguments — it is the visible love of God radiating through a soul completely surrendered to Him. “If we truly love Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, our lives will reveal it.” 00:00 — Introduction 00:31 — Birth of St. Paschal Baylon in Spain 00:49 — A naturally holy and prayerful child 01:04 — Teaching himself to read while shepherding 01:29 — Early devotion to the Blessed Sacrament 01:53 — Joining the Franciscans as a lay brother 02:10 — His extreme penances and austerities 03:07 — Kindness combined with holiness 03:31 — Begging for alms and radical generosity 04:10 — Hours spent in Eucharistic adoration 04:35 — Miraculous apparition of the monstrance and angels 04:59 — Converting souls through sanctity 05:37 — Sent to convert Calvinists in France 06:32 — Driven out and attacked by heretics 07:03 — Why holiness alone is not enough 07:44 — The lesson of the People’s Crusade 09:01 — Sanctity must be joined with wisdom 09:55 — Death and incorrupt body of St. Paschal Baylon 10:18 — Patron saint of Eucharistic devotion 10:26 — Different devotions within the Church 11:05 — Final reflections and prayer #Catholic #SaintPaschalBaylon #BlessedSacrament #EucharisticAdoration #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicSermon #CatholicSaints #Franciscan #HolyEucharist #CatholicFaith #LatinMass #CatholicTeaching #SaintOfTheDay #CatholicSpirituality #Adoration #CatholicYouTube #ChristianHistory #CatholicDevotion #FranciscanSaint #TraditionalCatholicism Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
