About this sermon
On October 6th, the Church commemorates St. Mary Frances of the Five Wounds of Jesus. Born in Naples in 1715 as Anna Maria Rosa Nicolasa Gallo, she was called to holiness from her youth. Despite her father’s opposition, she consecrated herself to Christ as a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. Throughout her life, St. Mary Frances was blessed with extraordinary mystical gifts, including the Stigmata, ecstasies, and miraculous experiences during Holy Communion. She also endured great sufferings from her family, poor health, and intense penances, offering all in union with the Passion of Christ. Her visions, mystical marriage with Christ, and prayers for souls in Purgatory made her a spiritual guide to many priests, religious, and laypeople. She foresaw the coming disasters of the French Revolution but prayed that God would take her before they unfolded. She died on October 6, 1791, in Naples, and was canonized in 1867. This inspiring story reminds us of the power of suffering embraced with love, devotion to the Passion of Jesus, and intercession for souls. 🙏 Join us in honoring St. Mary Frances of the Five Wounds on her feast day. 📅 Feast Day: October 6th 📍 Patron Saint: Naples, Italy 00:00 Introduction 00:11 Birth & Early Life 01:01 Struggles with Her Father 01:38 Entry into the Third Order 02:06 Mystical Phenomena & Sufferings 03:14 Mystical Marriage with Christ 04:01 Penances & Prayers for Souls 05:19 Temptations & Spiritual Lessons 05:22 Prophecies of Future Events 05:40 Death & Canonization https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/october/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintOfTheDay #CatholicSaints #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #FeastDay #StMaryFrances #SaintStories #Catholic #CatholicMystics https://x.com/Catholicizm1/status/2107823422223049175?s=20
