Three Holy Hierarchs (30 January): Stand Firmly in the True Faith

About this sermon

In this sermon for the Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs, we honor St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, and St John Chrysostom — the Church’s greatest teachers, defenders of Orthodoxy, and shining examples of holiness. Though each served as a bishop within a single diocese, their spiritual authority extends to the entire Universal Catholic Church. These holy hierarchs shaped Christian theology, liturgy, preaching, and the faithful life of repentance that leads to salvation. 🕯️ St Basil the Great stood like an immovable rock against Arian heresy, leaving the Church the Divine Liturgy of St Basil and prayers of unmatched depth. 📖 St Gregory the Theologian, the supreme mind of theology, illumined the Church with his God-inspired homilies, hymns, and fearless defense of truth. 🔥 St John Chrysostom, the golden-mouthed preacher, thundered repentance, interpreted Scripture with clarity, and glorified God even in exile and death. This sermon recounts: • The origin of the common feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs • Their courage before emperors and heretics • Their theological genius and spiritual legacy • Their deaths — one among the faithful, one in solitude, one in exile • Why repentance and steadfast faith are essential for salvation 📿 May their prayers strengthen us, guide us into repentance, and lead us toward eternal blessedness in the Kingdom of God. Glory to Jesus Christ — Glory forever. 00:00 – Opening prayer and feast introduction 00:27 – Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs explained 01:11 – Why the Church honors them together 01:56 – St Basil the Great: rock of the Church 02:42 – Liturgy and prayers of St Basil 03:27 – St Gregory the Theologian’s genius 03:55 – Nativity & Paschal canons explained 04:35 – “Uttermost mind of theology” 04:49 – Different temperaments, same holiness 05:16 – St Basil’s fearless stand against heresy 06:08 – St Gregory’s contempt for worldly threats 06:41 – St John Chrysostom, the golden-mouthed preacher 07:23 – Exile, suffering, and holy repose 07:46 – “Glory to God for all things” 07:53 – Call to repentance and steadfast faith For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@st.johnchrysostombyzantine2197 & 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.
