Novena to the Immaculate Conception Day 7: The Pietà and the Love of a Mother

About this sermon

In this powerful reflection on the Sixth Sorrow of Mary — Jesus Being Taken Down From the Cross — we are invited to contemplate the profound moment when the Blessed Mother holds the lifeless body of her Son. Drawing from Scripture, sacred art, the writings of the Saints, and traditional devotion, this meditation leads us into the heart of Mary’s sorrow and the deep love shared between Mother and Son. This reflection discusses the Pietà, the meaning of Mary’s grief, insights from St. Bridget, St. Alphonsus Liguori, Pope Benedict XV, and a poetic connection to the inscription INRI. We discover how Mary’s silent suffering, compassion, forgiveness, and union with Christ reveal the immense love of God for humanity. Whether you are praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary, seeking deeper understanding of Marian devotion, or reflecting on the Passion of Christ, this video will lift your heart toward the mystery of Christ’s redemptive love. 🙏 May this meditation draw you closer to Jesus through the sorrowful but faithful heart of His Mother. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 0:00 – Opening Invocation: In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost 0:19 – Introduction to the Sixth Sorrow of Mary 0:31 – The Pietà: Mary Holding the Lifeless Body of Jesus 0:55 – Michelangelo’s Pietà and Other Artistic Depictions 1:10 – The Four Evangelists and the Passion Narrative 1:21 – How the Tradition of the Pietà Developed 1:33 – Meaning of the Word Pietà (“Pity”) 1:57 – Gospel Account: Jesus Taken Down from the Cross (John 19) 2:56 – Mary’s Presence at the Foot of the Cross 3:17 – The Heartbreak of a Mother 3:46 – Mary’s Natural Sorrow and Supernatural Resignation 4:10 – Saints’ Accounts of What Occurred After Jesus’ Death 4:27 – St. Bridget’s Revelations: Closing the Eyes of Christ 4:55 – Pope Benedict XV on Private Revelations 5:23 – St. Alphonsus Liguori on Mary’s Sixth Sorrow 5:38 – Mary Contemplating the Wounds of Christ 6:03 – Mary’s Silent Love and Forgiveness 6:40 – INRI and the Poetic Reflection by Rita Simmons 7:05 – Reflection on Victory Unseen: The Resurrection 7:42 – Christ Thirsts for Souls: The Invitation to Salvation 7:57 – The Deepest Intersection of Love: Mother, Son, and the Church 8:21 – Final Blessing For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
