The Miracle of St. Benedict: Walking on Water Through Obedience

About this sermon

On this great Feast of St. Benedict (March 21), we reflect on a powerful miracle that reveals the hidden strength of holy obedience. When young Placid was swept away by the waters near Subiaco, St. Maurus rushed to save him—without hesitation, without questioning—walking upon the water through obedience to his abbot. Yet Placid later testified that it was not Maurus alone, but the intercession and prayer of St. Benedict that saved him. This profound story teaches us that obedience, even in small and hidden ways, has the power to change the course of events, overcome evil, and bring about grace in the world. In a time when chaos and confusion surround us, the example of the Benedictine spirit—prayer, work, and obedience—rebuilt Christian civilization. And it can still transform our lives today. Let us ask St. Benedict for the grace to obey with peace, humility, and love. 🙏 “That in all things God may be glorified.” – Rule of St. Benedict 0:00 Feast of St. Benedict Introduction 0:21 Why the Feast Is Celebrated Today 0:30 St. Benedict Calls Maurus 0:48 Placid Sent to the Lake 1:10 Placid Swept Away by the Current 1:17 Maurus Runs to Save Him 1:25 The Miracle on the Water 1:33 Placid’s Testimony: The Abbot’s Cowl 2:05 Confusion and Return to St. Benedict 2:22 Lesson on Obedience Explained 3:02 The Power of St. Benedict’s Prayer 3:21 Walking on Water Recounted 3:36 Spiritual Reflection Begins 3:59 Turning the Tide Through Obedience 4:23 The Benedictine Order Saves Europe 4:54 Prayer, Work, and Renewal of Civilization 5:12 Applying the Lesson Today 5:28 Final Prayer to St. Benedict 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.
