Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary | Day 7 | Mary Frees Us From Pride

About this sermon

Join the Irish Province of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest for Day 7 of the Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Patroness of our church in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Today’s meditation is “Mary Frees From All Pride,” inspired by Luke 1:48: “He has looked upon the humility of his handmaid.” We contemplate the greatness of Our Lady as the reward of her profound humility. On earth, Mary lived in littleness, obedience, silence, and hiddenness. Now she reigns in glory as Queen among the angels and saints. This meditation calls us to reject the spirit of the world—the spirit of pride, vanity, and ostentation—and instead imitate Mary in humility. We are encouraged to become small with her, to embrace hidden service, to accept humiliations with love, and to persevere in repeated acts of humility. Let us pray: “O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.” May this novena help free us from the tyranny and seduction of the world. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph in the Church, and may Our Lady inspire many souls to serve Christ as priests and religious. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. #ImmaculateHeartOfMary #CatholicNovena #VirginMary #OurLady #CatholicPrayer #CatholicFaith #Humility #BlessedVirginMary #CatholicMeditation #ICKSP #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicChurch #MarianDevotion #JesusMeekAndHumble #Novena 0:07 Novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary 0:12 Pray to Be Freed From the Spirit of the World 0:22 O Mary Conceived Without Sin 0:28 Day 7 — Mary Frees From All Pride 0:40 The Greatness & Power of Our Lady 0:48 Mary Reigns With Her Divine Son 1:04 Humility Raised Mary to Heavenly Glory 1:20 Mary’s Hidden Life on Earth 1:26 Her Obedience & Heavenly Exaltation 1:42 The Angels at the Service of Their Queen 1:58 The World Compared With Heavenly Glory 2:16 A Prayer to Serve Our Queen 2:24 Freeing Ourselves From the Spirit of Pride 2:40 Humility & Union With Mary 2:56 Rejecting Pride and Ostentation 3:07 Becoming Small With Mary 3:15 Entering Christ’s Humiliations With Our Lady 3:24 Love to Be Unknown & Counted as Nothing 3:33 Jesus and Mary Love Humble Souls 3:40 Asking Mary for the Grace of Humility 3:53 The Battle Against Pride 4:00 Acts, Acts & More Acts of Humility 4:07 Jesus, Meek and Humble of Heart 4:18 Breaking the Tyranny of the World 4:27 Prayer for Priestly & Religious Vocations 4:35 Final Blessing 📅 Novena Dates: August 14–22 📍 Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland ✨ Support our mission: https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
