About this sermon
St. Christopher is one of the most beloved saints in the history of the Catholic Church—but how much do you really know about him? In this sermon we explore the traditional story of the giant known as Reprobus, a pagan who searched tirelessly for the greatest master to serve. After serving a king, seeking the devil himself, and finally discovering Christ through a holy hermit, his life was transformed forever. His encounter with the Christ Child while carrying travelers across a dangerous river gave him the name Christopher, meaning "Christ Bearer." More than simply recounting a famous legend, this homily challenges every Christian to ask a profound question: Who is the true master of my life? Money? Comfort? Power? Pleasure? The opinions of others? Or Jesus Christ? This timeless meditation draws upon the First Commandment, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the enduring witness of one of the Church's Fourteen Holy Helpers. May St. Christopher strengthen us to carry Christ faithfully through this life and safely into eternity. St. Christopher, pray for us! 0:00 Sponsor - iCatholic Mobile 0:27 Introduction 1:04 The pagan giant Reprobus 1:40 Searching for the greatest master 2:28 Seeking the devil 3:42 The devil fears the Cross 4:50 Who is your true master? 6:13 St. Ignatius on man's purpose 7:27 The hermit teaches Reprobus 8:16 Serving Christ through charity 9:09 Carrying the Christ Child 9:56 Why he became Christopher 11:02 Modern skepticism and the saints 12:05 Patron of travelers and one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers 13:20 The Church's prayer to St. Christopher 14:30 Closing For more go to http://www.veritascaritas.com & please 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #StChristopher #Catholic #CatholicChurch #Saints #CatholicFaith #TraditionalCatholic #ChristBearer #Christianity #FourteenHolyHelpers #SensusFidelium #CatholicTeaching #CatholicSermon #CatholicDevotion #SaintOfTheDay #JesusChrist
