Savonarola's sermons

Savonarola’s sermons focused on calling Florence and its citizens to spiritual renewal by urging repentance, humility, and moral reform. He emphasized that society's corruption, indulgence, and greed had estranged them from God. His messages condemned vice, urging a return to pure Christian values, and often warned of divine judgment if they did not change. Savonarola also promoted social justice, advocating for the poor, and called for the removal of excessive luxury and worldly pleasures. His fiery preaching aimed to inspire moral awakening and collective repentance, shaping Florence’s cultural and political climate during his influence in the late 15th century.
