St. Adalbert of Magdeburg was one of the great missionary bishops of the 10th century, chosen by Emperor Otto the Great to help bring the Gospel to the peoples of Eastern Europe. In this episode of The Lives of the Saints, we explore the remarkable story of St. Adalbert's missionary journey to Kievan Rus, his connection with the holy Princess Olga of Kiev, his escape from persecution under Sviatoslav, and his eventual appointment as the first Archbishop of Magdeburg. As Archbishop, St. Adalbert devoted himself tirelessly to evangelizing the Slavic peoples, strengthening ecclesiastical discipline, and advancing Christian civilization throughout Central and Eastern Europe. His life stands as a powerful witness to missionary zeal, perseverance in adversity, and unwavering fidelity to Christ. Discover how this saintly bishop helped lay the foundations for the spread of Christianity among the Slavic nations and why the Church honors him among its great missionaries. 00:00 Introduction to St. Adalbert of Magdeburg 00:27 Emperor Otto the Great establishes Magdeburg 00:44 A center for Christian missions 01:00 Otto's desire to evangelize Eastern Europe 01:16 St. Olga of Kiev requests missionaries 01:25 Adalbert chosen for the mission to Rus 01:43 Persecution under Sviatoslav 02:00 Adalbert escapes and returns home 02:09 His work as abbot and historian 02:25 Magdeburg becomes an archiepiscopal see 02:41 Adalbert appointed first Archbishop of Magdeburg 02:49 Missionary efforts among the Slavic peoples 03:05 Burial of Emperor Otto the Great 03:14 Death of St. Adalbert of Magdeburg 03:20 Legacy of the saint https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/june/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
