The Incredible Life of St. Raymond of Peñafort | Patron Saint of Canon Lawyers (23 January)

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Raymond of Peñafort, one of the greatest minds in the history of the Catholic Church. A Dominican friar, canon lawyer, confessor of kings, and miracle worker, St. Raymond compiled the first true Code of Canon Law, guiding the Church for nearly 900 years. In this talk, we also commemorate St. Emerenciana, sister of St. Agnes, who was martyred at her sister’s tomb for boldly proclaiming the Faith. Additional saints honored today include St. Abel, the first martyr of Sacred Scripture, and the historical Feast of the Espousal of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You’ll hear about: The origins of Canon Law The Church’s moral theology and difficult cases in confession (casuistry) St. Raymond’s role in encouraging St. Thomas Aquinas to write Summa Contra Gentiles His fearless correction of King James I of Aragon The astonishing miracle where St. Raymond sailed across the sea on his cloak Why dying on the Feast of the Epiphany is spiritually significant St. Raymond of Peñafort is the patron saint of canon lawyers, confessors, and moral theologians, and his life offers powerful lessons in courage, fidelity, and obedience to God. 👉 May we grow closer to God by learning from the saints and imitating their virtues. God bless you. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
