2nd Sunday After Epiphany: On the Confidence With Which We Ought To Have to Mary ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

On the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, the Holy Gospel presents the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11), where Our Lord Jesus Christ performs His first public miracle at the request of His Blessed Mother. When the wine fails, Mary intercedes — unasked, unnoticed, yet all-powerful. Though Christ responds, “My hour is not yet come,” He nevertheless works the miracle, revealing forever the confidence we ought to have in recommending ourselves to the Mother of God. This profound traditional Catholic sermon explores: The greatness of Mary’s power to obtain graces from God Why the prayers of Mary are never refused The tender compassion of the Mother of Mercy Why sinners should never fear approaching Mary The devotion and confidence required to receive her help Drawing from Sacred Scripture, St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Alphonsus, St. Bridget, St. Peter Damian, and many others, this sermon explains why the Church has always proclaimed Mary as: Omnipotent by grace — not by nature, but by the will of God. The sermon concludes with practical Marian devotions—the Rosary, the Angelus, the Scapular, and daily invocation of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary—as sure means of protection, perseverance, and salvation. 📖 “They have no wine.” These words still echo today—for every soul lacking grace, hope, or strength. And Mary still intercedes. 00:00 – Gospel of the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11) 01:24 – Mary’s Request: “They Have No Wine” 03:39 – First Point: The Power of Mary’s Intercession 06:22 – Why Mary’s Prayers Are Never Rejected 08:24 – Second Point: The Tender Compassion of Mary 11:04 – Mary as the Refuge of Sinners 13:01 – Practical Marian Devotions for the Faithful 14:48 – Conversion of St. Mary of Egypt 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Sensus Fidelium is your go to for sermons on the catholic church, faith, growing in holiness, study of the scriptures, anything and everything you need to be set on fire for the Lord and His Church. #CatholicSermon #WeddingAtCana #MaryMotherOfGod #MarianDevotion #SecondSundayAfterEpiphany #TraditionalCatholic #MotherOfMercy #CatholicFaith #HolyRosary #MaryIntercedes #LatinMass #CatholicTeaching
