St Vladimir’s Struggle to Become Christian

About this sermon

On the local feast of St Vladimir, established at the seminary in 2014 in commemoration of the reception of a portion of our patron saint’s relics, the Very Rev. Dr Chad Hatfield reviews the legacy of St Vladimir as a missionary saint. Over the course of his life, St Vladimir went from a bloodthirsty pagan king to a deeply committed Christian ruler, determined to spread the True Faith to those in his kingdom. Fr Chad urges us to find and root out the worldly and anti-Christian influences in our own hearts, just as St Vladimir strove to cleanse himself from his early delusions.
