Our Lady of Sorrows & the Triumph of the Cross

About this sermon

Glory in the Cross. In this homily for the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows—closely united to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross—we meditate on the Seven Sorrows of Mary and how they lead us to conversion, hope, and deeper union with Jesus Christ. Drawing on Scripture (Luke 2, Matthew 2, John 19, Luke 23) and the Church’s tradition (including Pope Pius VII), Father reflects on how Mary’s sorrows mirror our own and how the Cross becomes the sign of forgiveness, victory, and new life. 📌 Topics covered: • Exaltation of the Holy Cross and why Christians “glory in the Cross” • The Seven Sorrows: Prophecy of Simeon, Flight into Egypt, Loss in the Temple, Meeting on the Way of the Cross, Crucifixion, Pietà, and Burial • How these sorrows shape our discipleship today—dying to self to rise with Christ • Ember Days this week: fasting, abstinence, and intensified prayer for the Church 0:00 In the Name of the Father… 0:24 Exaltation of the Holy Cross—meaning & grace 1:22 Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows—linked to the Cross 2:01 Pope Pius VII & origins of the feast (1817) 3:56 Overview of the Seven Sorrows 4:06 1) Prophecy of Simeon (Lk 2) 5:49 2) Flight into Egypt (Mt 2:13–14) 6:55 3) Loss of Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:43–45) 9:31 4) Meeting on the Way of the Cross (Lk 23:27) 11:02 5) Crucifixion—Mary at the Cross (Jn 19) 13:50 6) Pietà—Jesus taken down from the Cross 15:08 7) Burial of Jesus (Jn 19:41–42) 16:03 How Mary’s sorrows mirror our lives 23:15 Dying to self to live in Christ 24:10 From burial to resurrection: grain of wheat 24:51 14th Sunday after Pentecost: serving God, not the world 27:00 Ember Days—fasting, abstinence, and prayer 27:46 Final blessing For more please visit https://oblatesofstaugustine.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/c/OblatesofStAugustine & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #OurLadyOfSorrows #SevenSorrows #ExaltationOfTheHolyCross #Catholic #Homily #TraditionalLatinMass #MarianDevotion #CatholicSermon #CatholicLiturgy #GospelReflection #CrossOfChrist #MaterDolorosa #CatholicFeastDay #EmberDays #Scripture 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
