Maria Bambina: The Beautiful Mystery of Mary’s Childhood

About this sermon

Celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary—the glorious birthday of Our Lady and the dawn of mankind’s redemption. This Catholic sermon reflects upon Mary’s birth, her Immaculate purity, and the beautiful devotion to the Blessed Mother in her infancy under the title Maria Bambina. At a time when the world lay in spiritual darkness, God prepared a new dawn: the woman chosen to become the Mother of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon the wisdom of St. John Damascene, St. Peter Damian, St. John Eudes, St. Bridget of Sweden, and St. Augustine, this meditation explores why Mary’s Nativity brought joy to Heaven and earth. Her birth announced the coming of the Messiah, the defeat of Satan, the loosening of mankind’s bondage to sin, and the approaching victory of Christ over death. “Your birth, O Virgin Mother of God, brought joy to the whole world; for from you arose the Sun of Justice, Christ our God.” May this reflection deepen your love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and help you recognize her Nativity as the beginning of our salvation and the cause of Christian joy. 0:00 Opening prayer and introduction 0:36 The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 1:58 Maria Bambina: Mary in her infancy 2:16 A world in darkness awaits a new dawn 3:05 The Old Covenant’s longing for the Messiah 4:26 Mary’s birth and the dawn of redemption 5:21 The saints praise the Nativity of Mary 6:33 St. John Eudes on Mary’s wondrous childhood 7:06 St. Bridget: the beginning of all true joy 7:40 The joy of St. Joachim and St. Anne 8:47 Eastern and Western churches praise Mary 9:05 “Your birth brought joy to the whole world” 9:23 The Sun of Justice rises through Mary 10:20 St. Augustine on Eve and Mary 11:49 “Let us rejoice in Mary!” 12:54 Closing message and support For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ #NativityOfMary #BlessedVirginMary #MariaBambina #OurLady #ImmaculateConception #Catholic #CatholicSermon #CatholicHomily #FeastDay #SensusFidelium #SaintAugustine #StJohnDamascene #StPeterDamian #StJohnEudes #StBridget 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
