Look to the Star, Call Upon Mary | St. Bernard’s Powerful Prayer

About this sermon

On the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this Catholic sermon reflects upon Our Lady’s profound humility, hiddenness and maternal protection. Although she was descended from King David and chosen to become the Mother of the Redeemer, Mary lived largely unnoticed by the world. Her hidden life teaches us that the more we desire to grow in the sight of God, the less we should seek recognition from men. Great works for God and souls are often accomplished through silence, obscurity and personal sacrifice. The sermon concludes with St. Bernard of Clairvaux’s beautiful counsel: when temptations rise, tribulations threaten, conscience becomes troubled or sadness leads toward despair, look to Mary and call upon her name. Following her, we shall not go astray; supported by her, we shall not fall; guided by her, we shall safely reach the heavenly port. May Our Lady shelter us beneath her maternal gaze and lead us faithfully to Jesus Christ.
