Fifth Day within the Octave of the Nativity (12 September) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Journey into The Liturgical Year with Dom Prosper Guéranger (Gueranger) for September 12—the Fifth Day within the Octave of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a day long linked with the Most Holy Name of Mary. In this meditation we hear the Church praise Our Lady: “Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?” (Song of Songs 6:10). Guéranger reflects on Mary’s swift growth in light, love, and victorious power, then recalls two historic Marian victories: 1213 – Battle of Muret (often spelled “Moray” in older sources): St. Dominic’s Rosary and Simon de Montfort crush the Albigensian (Cathar) threat under Pope Innocent III. 1683 – Battle of Vienna: King Jan III Sobieski rides to the rescue at the plea of Pope Innocent XI. Christendom is delivered; later defeats of the Ottoman Empire lead to the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699) and Treaty of Passarowitz (1718). From this gratitude sprang universal devotion to the Holy Name of Mary. Stay to the end for a medieval hymn honoring Mary’s birth—“star of the sea,” “virgin mother after God’s own heart.” 00:00 Intro 00:11 Dom Prosper Guéranger & date (Sept 12) 00:14 Fifth Day within the Octave of the Nativity of Mary 00:19 “Who is she that cometh forth…” (Song of Songs 6:10) 00:48 Mary’s growth in light (intellect) 01:05 Mary’s growth in love (heart) 01:17 Mary’s victorious power over Satan 01:31 Two triumphs under Our Lady’s protection 01:59 1213: St. Dominic, Rosary & Battle of Muret (Albigensians) 02:14 1683: Sobieski & the Deliverance of Vienna (Pope Innocent XI) 03:07 Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary 03:21 Medieval hymn to Our Lady’s birth 03:31 Hymn verses & doxology 04:23 Amen & closing https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/september/september-12-fifth-day-within-the-octave-of-the-nativity/ #Catholic #TheLiturgicalYear #DomProsperGueranger #HolyNameOfMary #NativityOfMary #MarianDevotion #Rosary #StDominic #BattleOfVienna #Sobieski #TraditionalCatholic #LatinMass #CatholicHistory #OurLady #QueenOfHeaven 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
