Permission to Die, Mother | The Heroic Martyrs of Compiègne

About this sermon

The Temple of Jerusalem was one of the greatest buildings the world had ever seen. Covered in brilliant white marble and gold, it stood as the center of Israel's worship for nearly five centuries. Yet Our Lord Jesus Christ foretold that not one stone would remain upon another—and His prophecy was fulfilled exactly. In this powerful sermon, we discover why the Temple existed, why Christ called it "My Father's house," and how the Catholic Church fulfills everything the Temple foreshadowed through the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The homily then turns to one of the most moving stories in Catholic history: the 16 Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne, who mounted the guillotine during the French Revolution singing hymns and asking their superior: "Permission to die, Mother." Their sacrifice became one of the most extraordinary testimonies of Eucharistic faith, religious life, and heroic courage in the history of the Church. 00:00 Opening Prayer 00:33 Christ Calls the Temple a House of Prayer 01:21 Why God Established the Temple 02:04 The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple 03:31 The Presence of God Enters His Temple 04:36 Christ Prays in the Father's House 05:03 The Magnificence of Herod's Temple 05:54 Jesus Predicts Its Destruction 06:28 Josephus Describes the Temple 07:37 White Marble and Gold 08:18 The Enormous Temple Stones 09:01 The Golden Sanctuary 10:30 The Temple Points to Christ 11:18 The Catholic Church as the New Temple 12:08 Reverence for Catholic Churches Today 12:35 Churches Desecrated During the French Revolution 13:39 The Carmelite Sisters of Compiègne 15:24 The Guillotine and the Reign of Terror 16:41 Offering Their Lives to God 17:43 "What Do You Mean by Fanatics?" 18:45 Walking to Their Execution 19:37 Receiving the Mother's Blessing 20:26 "Permission to Die, Mother" 20:51 Singing the Veni Creator 21:38 The Final Martyr 22:19 Ten Days Later the Terror Ends 22:45 Final Words of Blessed Julie Louise of Jesus 23:18 Closing Prayer Please 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Sensus Fidelium is your go to for sermons on the catholic church, faith, growing in holiness, study of the scriptures, anything and everything you need to be set on fire for the Lord and His Church. #Catholic #TraditionalCatholic #LatinMass #Eucharist #BlessedSacrament #TempleOfJerusalem #JesusChrist #Martyrs #FrenchRevolution #CarmeliteMartyrs #CatholicHistory #HouseOfPrayer #Faith #Christianity #SensusFidelium
