Immaculate Conception Novena (Day 9): Pride, Humility, and the Blessed Virgin Mary

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon on the seven deadly sins and the virtue that conquers them all, we are reminded that the devil attacks us in seven ways—gluttony, lust, avarice, anger, sloth, envy, and pride—yet Christ has given us seven corresponding weapons of light. Among these, humility stands as the foundation and keeper of all virtue. Drawing from Scripture, the Desert Fathers, and the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this sermon reveals the subtle dangers of pride—even spiritual pride—and shows how humility defeats the enemy where nothing else can. Through stories such as the encounter between St. Macarius and the devil, and Mary’s humble response at the Annunciation, we learn how to live a life pleasing to God. This is an essential reflection for anyone seeking holiness, spiritual discipline, and victory over temptation. 🙏 “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 🙏 “Behold the handmaid of the Lord.” 00:00 – Invocation: In the Name of the Father 00:21 – The Devil’s Seven Attacks 01:19 – The Seven Weapons of Light 02:34 – Why Humility Is the Foundation 03:10 – St. Macarius and the Devil’s Confession 04:37 – The Danger of Pride 05:21 – Types of Pride: Material, Natural Gifts, Spiritual 07:12 – Spiritual Pride: The Most Subtle 08:21 – Pride Hidden in Good Works 09:15 – Purifying Our Intentions 10:05 – Examining Ourselves for Pride 10:23 – The Remedy: Humility 10:35 – The Humility of the Blessed Virgin Mary 11:36 – Mary’s Interior Humility 12:34 – Mary, Handmaid of the Lord 13:22 – Mary’s Service to Elizabeth 14:04 – Her Silence About Angelic Revelations 15:03 – What Truly Matters in God’s Eyes 15:31 – Final Exhortation to Humility 16:12 – Conclusion & Blessing For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
