Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre (8 September): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

Discover the powerful story of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, the beloved patroness of Cuba. Drawing on Butler’s Lives of the Saints (September 8), Father Alvin recounts the tradition of the image found upon the waves of the Bay of Nipe—and how her devotion spread from the mining town of El Cobre to the whole island and beyond. In this episode, you’ll meet Juan Moreno, the nine-year-old enslaved child who, with two Indigenous companions, discovered the floating image in 1628. Learn how the people welcomed the Virgin to Real de Minas del Cobre, how a hermitage was raised in her honor, and how her cult blossomed until Pope Benedict XV solemnly proclaimed her Patroness of Cuba in May 1916. You’ll also hear a vivid description of the statue—Our Lady holding the Christ Child and the world—along with the early traditions surrounding her mysterious “disappearances” and reappearances that deepened the people’s faith.
