How do Christians truly love their enemies?

In this powerful sermon, we reflect on the extraordinary witness of Blessed Titus Brandsma, the Dutch Carmelite priest who suffered and died in the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau during World War II. Despite relentless abuse, beatings, and torture, Blessed Titus refused to hate his persecutors. Instead, he prayed for them, forgave them, and demonstrated the supernatural charity that Christ commands.

Drawing from the life of Blessed Titus Brandsma, the writings of St. Catherine of Siena, and the timeless teaching of the Catholic Church, this sermon explores what authentic Christian love truly looks like. It reminds us that real holiness is not merely avoiding evil—but loving even those who seek our destruction.

Learn why:
• Gratitude and piety prepare the soul for suffering
• Prayer is the source of supernatural strength
• The Holy Eucharist sustains us during trials
• Charity triumphs over hatred
• Saints overcome evil through love

Blessed Titus Brandsma's witness remains one of the greatest examples of heroic Catholic virtue in modern history.

"Love will gain back for us the hearts of these pagans."

May his example strengthen us to carry our crosses faithfully and love as Christ loves.
