Our Lady of Prompt Succour (8 January): May Help Come Swiftly

About this sermon

In this sermon, we explore the remarkable Catholic history of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, a Marian title proper to the United States and deeply intertwined with the founding of our nation. From the arrival of Ursuline nuns in Louisiana in 1727, to the Louisiana Purchase, to Thomas Jefferson’s historic letter defending religious liberty, and finally to the miraculous events surrounding the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, this devotion reveals how Our Lady intervened swiftly to protect the Church and the nation. We recount: The origin of the title “Our Lady of Prompt Succor” The miraculous approval of Pope Pius VII while imprisoned by Napoleon The Great Fire of New Orleans (1812) stopped by Marian intercession The Battle of New Orleans (1815) and the decisive role of prayer The involvement of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson Why this title belongs uniquely to the United States What these events mean for the crisis of faith today At a time when the Church, family, life, and virtue are under attack, this devotion reminds us of a timeless truth: “If God is with us, who can be against us?” 📿 Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to our aid. 00:00 Introduction: Why This Marian Title Matters 01:01 Ursuline Nuns Arrive in Louisiana (1727) 02:02 Spain, France, and Catholic Unity 03:06 French Revolution & Exile to Cuba 03:31 Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Ursuline Nuns 05:17 A Seemingly Impossible Request to the Pope 05:36 The Promise to Our Lady of Prompt Succor 06:00 Pope Pius VII’s Miraculous Reply 06:57 Arrival of the Statue in New Orleans (1810) 07:15 The Great Fire of New Orleans (1812) 08:06 The Battle of New Orleans (1815) 08:49 Mass During the Battle & Victory Announced 09:43 Andrew Jackson Thanks the Ursuline Nuns 10:15 Feast Day Established by Pope Pius IX 11:12 Faith Under Attack in Modern America 12:17 If God Is With Us, Who Can Defeat Us? 13:00 America’s Foundations & the Need for Restoration 13:51 Why This Title Belongs to the United States 14:30 Final Exhortation & Prayer 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
