About this sermon
The Feast of the Dormition honors the Virgin Mary’s peaceful passing and her assumption—body and soul—into heaven. While Scripture says little about her life after Christ’s death, Church tradition tells how the apostles gathered at her side, Christ received her soul, and her tomb was found empty. This great feast, preceded by a two-week fast, calls the faithful to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The Dormition icon beautifully depicts the moment, with apostles, bishops, and Christ cradling Mary’s pure soul. More than a commemoration, it’s a promise: those who imitate her love, humility, and obedience will share in the heavenly glory she now enjoys. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #Dormition #Theotokos #VirginMary #MotherOfGod #OrthodoxFaith #CatholicFaith #ByzantineTradition #MarianFeast #Assumption #ChristianFaith #EasternChristianity #FeastDay #HolyDayOfObligation #MaryMotherOfGod #ChurchTradition #MarianDevotion #GloryToJesusChrist #ChristianHope #OrthodoxChurch #CatholicChurch 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.
