O Adonai: The Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary | Advent, Ember Days & the Cross (December 18)

About this sermon

On the Feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we enter deeply into the penitential character of Advent, the Ember Days, and the profound unity between Christmas and the Cross. This meditation reflects on the ancient O Antiphon “O Adonai”, revealing how the God who appeared to Moses in the burning bush now comes through the perpetual virginity of Mary to redeem mankind by His outstretched arms on the Cross. In these final days before Christmas, the Church invites us to unite ourselves to the interior thoughts, prayers, and intentions of Our Lady, who knows that the Child she bears is born not only to dwell among men—but to die for them. This reflection explores: Why Advent is penitential The meaning of Ember Days and fasting The closure of sacred images before Christmas The connection between Annunciation, Expectation, and Crucifixion The burning bush as a type of Mary The deep theology behind O Adonai 📿 “Come and redeem us by the outstretched arm.” 00:00 Opening Prayer – O Adonai 00:45 Advent as a Penitential Season 01:16 Ember Days: Fasting & Abstinence 02:18 Why the Triptych Is Closed 03:02 Feast of the Expectation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 03:59 Origins of the Feast 04:36 Annunciation & Ember Days 05:08 The Thoughts of Our Lady Before Christmas 05:53 Unity with Mary’s Intentions 06:10 Ancient Antiphon of the Feast 07:10 O Adonai Explained 07:49 The Burning Bush & the Virgin Birth 08:33 The Unspeakable Name of God 08:55 Christ the New Lawgiver 09:20 From the Manger to the Cross 09:39 Redemption by the Outstretched Arms For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest https://sensusfidelium.us/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/december/december-17-the-commencement-of-the-great-antiphons/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
