The Miracle of St. Benedict & Walking on Water | The Power of Holy Obedience

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the glorious feast of St. Benedict, Patriarch of Western Monasticism and Patron of Europe. This sermon reflects on one of the most beloved miracles from the life of St. Benedict—the rescue of St. Placid, who was swept into a lake by a powerful current. Through the obedience of St. Maurus and the prayers of St. Benedict, an extraordinary miracle unfolded as Maurus unknowingly ran across the water to save his brother monk. More than an historical miracle, this event becomes a powerful image of the spiritual life. Just as St. Placid was carried away by dangerous currents, many souls today are drawn away from fidelity by confusion, discouragement, temptation, and spiritual compromise. Yet St. Benedict continues to intercede for his spiritual children, extending, as it were, his cowl to rescue those willing to cling to his Rule and to Christ. This sermon also explores: • The blessings of holy obedience • The founding of Benedictine civilization • The importance of perseverance • St. Benedict as Patron of Europe • Fidelity during times of crisis • The spiritual meaning of the miracle of St. Maurus and St. Placid • Confidence in God's providence during dark times May St. Benedict obtain for us perseverance, fidelity, and the courage to remain faithful to Christ until the end. St. Benedict, pray for us. 0:00 Sponsor 0:32 Opening Prayer 0:37 Feast of St. Benedict 1:15 Patron of Europe and Father of Western Civilization 1:54 The Miracle of Raising the Dead 2:22 Benedictine Family and Spiritual Privileges 2:43 St. Maurus and St. Placid 3:30 Benedict's Vision of Danger 4:23 St. Placid Swept Away 5:05 St. Maurus Walks on Water 5:59 Benedict Explains the Miracle 6:38 The Blessing of Obedience 6:55 St. Benedict Watches Over His Children 7:48 Crisis in Religious Life 8:23 Increasing the Joy of the Saints 9:15 Fidelity Brings Joy to St. Benedict 9:50 The Dangerous Currents of the World 10:43 Holding to the Rule of St. Benedict 11:07 Clinging to Benedict's Cowl 11:57 Christ and Peter Walking on Water 12:30 Faith Like the Early Benedictines 12:44 Final Prayer to St. Benedict 13:08 Closing Blessing For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & 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.
