The SHOCKING Truth About Lent Modern Catholics Ignore (St. Francis of Paola)

About this sermon

In this powerful reflection, we explore the life and miracles of St. Francis of Paola, one of the greatest miracle workers in Church history—and a saint who lived a perpetual Lent. From raising the dead… to commanding nature… to instituting a radical life of penance, St. Francis challenges modern Catholics—especially men—to reconsider what true sacrifice looks like. Are we too comfortable? Have we lost the spirit of penance? What would this saint say about the way we live Lent today? Drawing from tradition, papal teaching, and the witness of the saints, this video is a wake-up call to return to authentic Catholic discipline, mortification, and spiritual warfare. 🔥 This is not just history—this is a challenge. 00:00 Opening Prayer & Introduction 00:29 Birth of St. Francis of Paola 01:17 Early Life & Vocation 01:40 Life of Solitude and Prayer 02:11 Founding of the Minims 02:50 His Extraordinary Miracles 03:04 Crossing the Sea on His Cloak 03:29 Raising Animals from the Dead 03:43 The Lamb Martinello Miracle 04:40 Power Over Nature 05:43 Raising His Nephew from the Dead 07:12 The Fourth Vow Explained 07:30 A Life of Perpetual Lent 08:33 Papal Concern About His Austerity 09:12 The Miracle of the Burning Coals 09:44 What is Minim Spirituality? 10:50 Why He Instituted Perpetual Abstinence 11:07 What Would He Say About Our Age? 11:41 Pope Benedict XIV on Lent 13:06 The Consequences of Neglecting Penance 14:00 The Ninevites as an Example 14:47 Warning from Dom Prosper Guéranger 15:59 A Call to Repentance 16:45 A Challenge for This Lent 17:41 Closing Prayer https://www.tanbooks.com & type SF15 at Checkout for 15% off For more please visit http://reginaprophetarum.org/#/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest ***Donations to Sensus Fidelium is 501(c)3 tax deductible*** 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
