Mary: Theotokos, Intercessor & Perfect Disciple

About this sermon

Why does the Church honor the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary? This short reflection explains that Catholics do not adore Mary, but honor her because of the unique role God gave her in salvation history. From her Immaculate Conception, Mary was prepared to become the dwelling place of God—the new Ark of the Covenant and the Mother of Jesus Christ. Mary also shows us what true discipleship looks like: humility, obedience, faith, and complete surrender to the will of God. The sermon reflects on her ancient title Theotokos—Mother of God, and on the Church’s defense of that title against those who sought to diminish Mary’s place in the mystery of the Incarnation. Above all, Mary is presented as a powerful intercessor. From Fatima to Lourdes, her message continually points beyond herself toward Christ: To Jesus through Mary. May the Most Holy Name of Mary lead sinners to conversion, strengthen the faithful, and draw all souls more deeply into the life of Christ and His Church. Most Holy Name of Mary, pray for us. 00:00 The Most Holy Name of Mary 00:24 A Beautiful Marian Feast 00:31 Why Do Catholics Honor Mary’s Name? 00:40 Mary’s Unique Role in Salvation History 00:48 Mary as the Ark of the Covenant 00:57 Why Her Name Is Worthy of Honor 01:06 Mary as the Perfect Disciple 01:15 Humility & Obedience to God 01:31 Heresies Against Mary 01:39 Mary as Theotokos 01:48 Mary, Greatest of the Saints 01:56 Mary as Powerful Intercessor 02:05 Fatima and Marian Intercession 02:20 “To Jesus Through Mary” 02:29 Conversion Through Our Lady 02:37 Fatima, Lourdes & Returning to Christ 02:54 Pray for the Conversion of Sinners 03:02 Through Mary Back to Christ 03:10 Final Blessing #HolyNameOfMary #BlessedVirginMary #MarianFeast #CatholicFaith #ToJesusThroughMary #CatholicChurch #Fatima #OurLady #CatholicReflection 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
