How the Virgin Mary Died of Love | The Assumption of Our Lady

About this sermon

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most beautiful mysteries of the Catholic Faith. In this sermon, we reflect upon the final days of Our Lady’s earthly life, her holy death, the empty tomb, and her glorious Assumption into Heaven. The sermon recounts how Mary desired to see the Apostles before leaving this world, how St. Thomas arrived after her death, and how her body was no longer found in the tomb—only roses and a heavenly fragrance remained. But the deepest lesson is spiritual. Our Lady had no attachment to this world. Her heart desired only God. The sermon describes her death as a death of pure love, her soul longing to leave this world and be united with Him. To honor Mary, it is not enough merely to pray devotions. We must also imitate her virtues: 🙏 Charity 🙏 Purity 🙏 Humility 🙏 Detachment from the world 🙏 Love of God 🙏 Perseverance in prayer If we desire Heaven, our hearts must become less attached to the things of earth and more attached to God. The sermon concludes with a beautiful reflection on Our Lady’s special assistance to those devoted to her at the hour of death. May the Blessed Virgin obtain for us the grace to live well, die well, and one day join her in Heaven. 🙏 Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us. 00:00 Let God Arise and His Enemies Be Scattered 00:29 The Feast of the Assumption 00:45 The Death of the Blessed Virgin Mary 01:02 Mary’s Final Meeting With the Apostles 01:41 Why St. Thomas Was Absent 02:05 St. Thomas Arrives Three Days Later 02:20 The Tomb of the Blessed Virgin Is Opened 02:29 Roses, Heavenly Fragrance & the Empty Tomb 02:46 Mary Is Assumed Into Heaven 03:01 Why Mary Remained With the Early Church 03:50 The Immaculate Virgin & Death 04:23 Mary Imitates Her Divine Son 04:52 Our Lady, Patroness of the Dying 05:59 Mary Died From Pure Love 06:30 Mary, Greatest of All the Saints 06:48 Our Lady Chose the Best Part 07:23 Virgin and Mother 08:06 Active & Contemplative Life 08:31 Mary Dies of Love Itself 08:53 Mary Above the Saints and Angels 10:14 The Assumption: Crown of Mary’s Mysteries 10:30 Mary Crowned Queen in Heaven 11:23 Mary’s Extraordinary Humility 12:01 Our Lady Takes the Last Place 12:50 Mary’s Respect for the Apostles & Priesthood 13:32 How to Prepare for the Assumption 14:15 The Most Important Marian Devotion 14:24 Imitate Mary’s Virtues 14:49 Become Detached From This World 15:31 Attach Your Heart to Heaven 16:05 Die to the World Before Physical Death 16:23 Pray for Mary’s Purity 16:39 Without Humility There Is No Salvation 17:17 Our Lady’s Promise for the Hour of Death 19:19 Mary Will Come to Our Aid 19:36 Prayer for a Happy Death 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #VirginMary #OurLady #OurLadyOfTheAssumption #FeastOfTheAssumption #MotherOfGod #QueenOfHeaven #Catholic #Catholicism #CatholicChurch #CatholicTeaching #CatholicTradition #TraditionalCatholic #TraditionalCatholicism #CatholicSermon #CatholicHomily #MarianDevotion #CatholicSpirituality #HolyMary #ImmaculateConception #CatholicSaints #Humility #Heaven #FourLastThings #HappyDeath #HolyRosary #RomanCatholic #TLM #TraditionalLatinMass
