Veneration
His name is in the Roman martyrology on 25 June, and the city of Turin honours him as its patron saint.

", June, VII, 3rd ed. , 44-46. It states that a cleric one day followed him with an evil intention to a retired chapel, where the saint was wont to pray.

He is the author of numerous discourses, first edited by Bruni, and published by order of Pope Pius VI at the Propaganda in 1784 (reprinted in P.

These discourses, delivered to the people by the saint, consist of one hundred and eighteen homilies, one hundred and sixteen sermons, and six treatises (tractatus). A homily is a commentary that follows a reading of scripture In the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, and in the Eastern Orthodox Church A sermon is an oration by a Prophet or member of the Clergy. Sermons address a Biblical, theological, or religious topic
Homilies 1-63 are de tempore, i. e. on the seasons of the ecclesiastical year and on the feasts of Our Lord; 64-82, de sanctis, i. e. on the saints whose feast was commemorated on the day on which they were delivered; 83-118, de diversis, i. e. exegetical, dogmatical or moral. Sermons 1-55 are de tempore; 56-93, de sanctis; 93-116, de diversis. Three of the treatises are on baptism, one against the Pagans, and one against the Jews. The last two are extant only in fragments, and their genuineness is doubtful. The sixth treatise, whose genuineness is also doubtful, contains short discourses on twenty-three topics taken from the Four Gospels. An appendix contains writings of uncertain authorship; thirty-one sermons, three homilies, and two long epistles addressed to a sick friend. Many writings, however, which Bruni ascribes to Maximus are of doubtful origin. The discourses are usually very brief, and couched in forcible, though at times over flowery language. Among the many facts of liturgy and history touched on in the discourses are: abstinence during Lent (hom. Lent, in some Christian denominations, is the forty-day-long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. 44), no fasting or kneeling at prayers during paschal time (hom. 61), fasting on the Vigil of Pentecost (hom. Pentecost (πεντηκοστή, pentekostē, "the fiftieth day" is one of the prominent feasts in the Christian Liturgical year, celebrated the 62), the synod of Milan in 389 at which Jovinianus was condemned (hom. Jovinian or Jovinianus (died c 405) was an opponent of Christian Asceticism in the 4th century and was condemned as a heretic 9), the impending barbarian invasion (hom. 86-92), the destruction of the Church of Milan by the barbarians (hom. 94), various pagan superstitions still prevalent at his time (hom. 16, 100-02), the supremacy of St. Peter (hom. 54, 70, 72, serm. 114).
