Our Lady of Lourdes (11 February) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On February 11, 1858, Heaven touched earth. Four years after Pope Pius IX defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a poor and humble girl, St. Bernadette Soubirous, in a grotto at Lourdes, France. There she revealed her name: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” In this reflection from The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger, we contemplate the profound theological meaning of Lourdes, the confirmation of Marian dogma, and the urgent call to penance. Mary appeared as the rainbow of hope after the flood — a sign of God’s covenant and mercy in a world drowning in sin. Through miracles, healings, and conversion of souls, she confirmed the authority of the Church and strengthened the faith of countless believers. Her message remains urgent today: Pray for sinners. Do penance. Convert. Return to God. As Lent approaches, the Church calls us to prayer and expiation. Lourdes echoes the Gospel warning: “Unless you do penance, you shall all perish.” May Our Lady of Lourdes heal not only bodies — but souls. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. 0:00 – Introduction 0:15 – The Rainbow of the Covenant 0:49 – “I Am the Immaculate Conception” 1:10 – The Dogma and Its Power 2:00 – Miracles and the Weakness of Faith 3:02 – Historical Account of the Apparitions 3:47 – February 11, 1858 – First Apparition 4:14 – Call to Penance and Prayer 4:53 – The Feast of the Annunciation Revelation 5:24 – Spread of Lourdes Devotion 6:14 – Pilgrimages and Papal Recognition 7:40 – “Pray for Us Who Have Recourse to Thee” 8:02 – Penance, Penance, Penance 8:39 – Preparing for Lent 9:33 – Final Prayer and Exhortation https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/february/february-11-our-lady-of-lourdes/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
