A new video, created using artificial intelligence, conveys the message of Saint Blaise, the physician who united medical knowledge with selfless love for humanity and went as far as martyrdom for his faith in Christ.
In the video, Saint Blaise “narrates” his life—from the difficult years of persecution under Emperor Licinius, when he studied medicine, to his martyrdom in 316 A.D. As heard in the digital narration, from an early age he understood that “knowledge that does not become love… does not heal,” a phrase that sums up his entire way of life.
Saint Blaise never accepted payment for his treatments. On the contrary, he healed the sick free of charge, supplied them with medicine, and often paid the hospitalization expenses himself for those who lacked financial means. Not in order to be praised, but because this was what Christ had taught him. For him, Holy Scripture was “the medicine of the soul.”
The Church called him to undertake the ministry of Bishop of Sebaste. He did not seek the position himself, but accepted it as a service to suffering people. He stood beside them, not above them, continuing his work of offering and care.
Saint Blaise: Torture, Imprisonment, and Being Thrown into the Lake
During the persecutions, he was arrested by the governor Agricola and subjected to harsh tortures: he was brutally flogged, hung from a wooden beam, and dragged in chains to prison. The climax came when he was thrown into the depths of a lake to perish.
Saint Blaise emerged alive from the lake. He did not return to seek revenge, but to bear witness that life does not end in darkness. The anger of his persecutors, however, increased, and he was eventually led to be beheaded in 316 A.D., receiving the crown of martyrdom.
The Timeless Message of Saint Blaise
Through this AI-generated video, Saint Blaise is presented as a physician of the body and, by the grace of God, of the soul. The message he conveys remains relevant: true healing begins when you give of yourself without asking for anything in return.
