Seventh Day Within the Octave of the Immaculate Conception (14 December) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

In this traditional Catholic Advent meditation, we contemplate Our Blessed Lady’s charity, humility, and love of poverty during her stay with Saint Elizabeth, her assistance at the birth of Saint John the Baptist, and her quiet return to Nazareth. Drawing from the seraphic Saint Bonaventure, this meditation reflects on the tender moment when the infant John rested in the arms of the Immaculate Virgin, recognizing her with supernatural love. We also hear of the great canticles sung in that holy house — the Magnificat and the Benedictus — and Our Lady’s silent contemplation of these divine mysteries in her heart. The reflection continues with a powerful lesson on holy poverty, as Mary leaves the comfort of a wealthy household and returns to a humble dwelling, trusting entirely in God and the labor of her hands. Included is a beautiful ancient Marian sequence from the Roman-French Missals, honoring the Blessed Virgin as: Rose of the world Star of the Sea Throne of the true Solomon Queen of Heaven and Treasury of Grace The meditation concludes with a traditional Advent prayer, imploring Christ the King to purify our souls as gold in the furnace and unite our hearts to Him. 00:00 – December 14: Seventh Day of the Octave of the Immaculate Conception 00:19 – Our Lady’s Charity in the House of Elizabeth 00:46 – St. Bonaventure on the Birth of St. John the Baptist 01:07 – The Infant John Recognizes Our Lady 01:28 – Circumcision of St. John & Prophecy of Zachary 01:40 – The Magnificat and the Benedictus 01:47 – Our Lady’s Silent Contemplation 02:02 – Mary’s Return to Nazareth 02:13 – Meditation on Poverty and Humility 02:43 – Ancient Marian Sequence from Roman-French Missals 04:25 – Traditional Advent Prayer to Christ the King https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/december/december-14-seventh-day-within-the-octave-of-the-immaculate-conception/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
