About this sermon
Meditations for Every Day of Advent Third Monday of Advent – Meditation 16 “You shall draw waters with joy out of the Savior’s fountains.” — Isaiah 12:3 In this profound Catholic Advent meditation, we reflect on Jesus Christ as the Fountain of Grace, following the teachings of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. This meditation invites the soul to draw living waters from Christ Himself — waters that cleanse, console, inflame, and sanctify. St. Bernard teaches that there are four fountains of grace found in Jesus Christ: 💧 The Fountain of Mercy – washing us from the filth of sin through His Precious Blood 💧 The Fountain of Peace and Consolation – sustaining us in tribulation and sorrow 💧 The Fountain of Devotion – strengthening our will to live the divine law 💧 The Fountain of Love – igniting our hearts with holy fire through meditation on Christ’s Passion This meditation concludes with heartfelt affections and prayers, offering our lives, sufferings, and even death to Christ, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Perfect for: Daily Advent prayer Mental prayer and contemplation Catholic spiritual growth Preparing the soul for Christmas Lovers of traditional Catholic devotion 🙏 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice. 0:00 – Introduction: Meditations for Every Day of Advent 0:11 – Third Monday of Advent | Meditation 16 0:16 – Jesus Christ: The Fountain of Grace (Isaiah 12:3) 0:24 – The Four Fountains of Grace (St. Bernard) 0:29 – Fountain of Mercy: Washed in the Blood of Christ 0:43 – Fountain of Peace and Consolation in Tribulation 1:13 – Living Water That Leads to Eternal Life 1:37 – Peace That Surpasses All Understanding 1:52 – Fountain of Devotion: Growth in Virtue 2:15 – Fountain of Love: The Fire of Meditation 2:41 – Drawing Waters of Joy and Salvation 2:46 – Affections and Prayers 3:50 – Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/meditations-for-every-day-of-advent/meditations-for-every-day-of-advent-third-monday/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Sensus Fidelium is your go to for sermons on the catholic church, faith, growing in holiness, study of the scriptures, anything and everything you need to be set on fire for the Lord and His Church. #AdventMeditation #CatholicPrayer #DailyAdvent #JesusFountainOfGrace #StBernard #TraditionalCatholic #AdventReflection #MentalPrayer #CatholicSpirituality #PrepareForChristmas #LivingWater #PreciousBloodOfJesus
