Easter on Display w/ Bl. Margaret Costello

About this sermon

On Easter Morning we had a first Holy Communion... and so it seemed fitting to reflect on the life of Bd. Margaret of Castello (it is a mystery why she is not considered a Saint...especially considering the astounding miracles she has performed by God's grace). My only regret in this sermon is that I did not mention the wonder of how Bd. Margaret never disparaged her parents treatment toward her. Instead, she made excuses for them. What a marvel she is! I would also have liked to add how she suffered violent temptations against the flesh... but overcame them all, by the grace of God.

The season before Easter signifies the troubles in which we have here and now, while the time after Easter which we are celebrating at present signifies the happiness that will be ours in the future. What we commemorate before Easter is what we experience in this life; what we celebrate after Easter points to something we do not yet possess. This is why we keep the first season with fasting and prayer; but now the fast is over and we devote the present season to praise. Such is the meaning of the Alleluia we sing. Both these periods are represented and demonstrated for us in Christ our head. The Lord's passion depicts for us our present life of trial-shows how we must suffer and be afflicted and finally die. The Lord's resurrection and glorification show us the life that will be given to us in the future" — St. Augustine. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
