The Hidden Sanctity of St. Ubaldo of Gubbio | Becoming a Saint in Ordinary Life (16 May)

About this sermon

On the Feast of St. Ubaldo of Gubbio, we reflect on the life of a saint who performed no famous miracles, wrote no theological masterpieces, and never left the town where he was born — yet became a great saint through humility, obedience, and perseverance in his vocation. St. Ubaldo lived a simple life as an Augustinian canon, administrator, prior, and eventually bishop. Again and again, he desired a hidden monastic life, but God continually called him back to serve His people. Through humility and faithful acceptance of his circumstances, St. Ubaldo teaches us one of the most important lessons in the spiritual life: You can become a saint right where you are. Whether you are married, single, a priest, religious, struggling, suffering, or simply enduring ordinary daily life — sanctity does not depend on changing your circumstances first. Holiness comes from faithfully embracing the vocation and duties God has placed before you.
