Feast of the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary | The Mystery of the Mother of God

About this sermon

Mary carried in her womb Him whom the heavens cannot contain. She nourished Him who feeds the whole world. What do these mysteries reveal about the Mother of God? This traditional Catholic homily for the October 11 feast of the Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary reflects on her Divine Maternity through a prayer attributed to St. Methodius and the Church’s liturgical hymns. Beginning with Ecclesiasticus 24:12 and the Council of Ephesus, the sermon explains how Mary’s title safeguards the truth of the Incarnation: Jesus Christ is truly God made man. He took flesh from the Blessed Virgin to suffer for our salvation. The homily concludes with an invitation to Marian consecration, the example of St. Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Christ’s words from the Cross: “Behold thy mother.” Let these reflections deepen your gratitude for the Incarnation and your trust in the maternal care of Our Lady. 00:00 Opening prayer and introduction 00:22 The feast of Mary’s Motherhood 00:39 “He who created me rested in my tabernacle” 00:56 Ephesus and the title Mother of God 01:06 The Incarnation and the Nestorian controversy 01:28 St. Methodius and Mary’s incomparable dignity 01:54 She carried Him whom heaven cannot contain 02:21 A hymn on the mystery of Mary’s womb 03:06 The humble Virgin chosen as Mother of God 04:02 She nourished Him who feeds the world 05:19 The Lord received His flesh from Mary 05:55 Christ took flesh to suffer for our salvation 06:20 “Rejoice, O Mother and handmaid of God” 06:52 An invitation to Marian consecration 07:47 St. Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe 08:11 “Am I not here who am your Mother?” 08:20 The Holy Mass: “Behold thy mother” Subscribe to Sensus Fidelium for Catholic sermons and spiritual formation.
