Meditation for the Octave of Christmas (Dec 28) | Jesus Taking Milk from Mary ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

During the Octave of Christmas, the Church invites us to contemplate the profound mysteries of the Incarnation. This December 28th meditation reflects on one of the most tender and awe-inspiring moments in salvation history: the Son of God taking milk from the breast of the Virgin Mary. The Eternal Word, who feeds all creatures, humbles Himself to depend upon His own creature for nourishment. This meditation draws from Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, and the mystical revelations of holy souls, showing how even this milk would be transformed into the Blood shed for our salvation and later given to us in the Most Holy Eucharist. Meditate on: The humility and poverty of the Infant Jesus The love of Mary, Mother of God The connection between Bethlehem, Calvary, and the Holy Communion The tender devotion to the Holy Infancy of Jesus so cherished by the saints “Christ is your milk.” — St. Augustine This reflection is especially suited for: Daily meditation during the Christmas Octave Eucharistic devotion Marian devotion Traditional Catholic spirituality May this meditation inflame your heart with love for the Infant Jesus and His Most Holy Mother. 0:00 – Introduction: Meditation for the Octave of Christmas 0:14 – Jesus Swathed and Taking Milk from Mary 0:32 – The Wonder of the Incarnation 0:48 – God Who Feeds All Becomes Weak 1:07 – Mystical Reflections of the Saints 1:20 – Milk Changed into the Blood of Christ 1:32 – The Eucharistic Mystery 2:01 – Christ Is Your Milk (St. Augustine) 2:11 – Blessed Is the Womb That Bore Thee 2:25 – Prayer for Tender Devotion 2:52 – Love of Christ for Redeemed Souls 3:01 – Affections and Prayers 3:26 – The Stable and the Cross United 3:52 – Repentance and Total Love for God 4:24 – Prayer for Devotion to the Holy Infancy 4:53 – Final Prayer to Our Lady https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/meditations-for-every-day-of-advent/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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. #ChristmasOctave #InfantJesus #CatholicMeditation #HolyInfancy #TraditionalCatholic #Incarnation #EucharisticDevotion #MarianDevotion #CatholicPrayer #Nativity
