Solemn Novena to the Immaculate Conception 2: The Woman and the Dragon

About this sermon

In this powerful Catholic sermon, we explore the breathtaking vision found in the Book of Revelation—the Woman clothed with the sun and the great red Dragon. Drawing from Revelation 11 and 12, the homily reveals how St. John transitions from seeing the Ark of the Covenant in Heaven to the appearance of the Woman, showing that Mary herself is the Living Ark, the one who carried the Bread of Life—Jesus Christ—in her womb. This homily explains: 🔥 How the hidden Ark of the Covenant foretold the Blessed Virgin Mary 🔥 Why the Woman of Revelation is Mary, the Mother of God 🔥 The identity of the Dragon and the seven deadly sins 🔥 The spiritual meaning behind Mary’s victory over Satan 🔥 How the devil wages war against her children—those who keep God's commandments 🔥 The seven virtues Mary used to crush the seven heads of the Dragon 🔥 Why spiritual warfare is real, and how we must fight with grace A perfect meditation for a Marian novena, spiritual retreat, or deeper understanding of Catholic eschatology, Mary’s role in salvation history, and the ongoing battle between good and evil. “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” 📖 Revelation 11 & 12 📖 Genesis 3:15 📖 Immaculate Conception & Marian Victory 00:00 – Opening Invocation 00:11 – The Vision in Revelation 00:22 – St. John’s Vision of the Woman & the Dragon 00:49 – Revelation 11: The Ark Seen in Heaven 01:05 – The Hidden Ark of the Covenant (Maccabees & Jeremiah) 02:12 – Prophecy of the Ark’s Return at the End Times 02:52 – How Can the Ark Be Seen in Heaven? 03:09 – The True Meaning of the Ark in Revelation 03:33 – The Bread from Heaven & the New Covenant Ark 04:17 – Mary as the Living Ark of the Covenant 04:36 – The Woman Clothed with the Sun (Revelation 12) 05:06 – Mary as the Ark Who Bore the Bread of Life 05:35 – Symbolism of the Sun, Moon, and Crown of Stars 06:19 – Mary’s Role in Revelation 06:35 – The Great Red Dragon Appears 07:01 – The Dragon Identified as Satan 07:20 – Seven Heads = Seven Deadly Sins 08:02 – The Woman vs. The Dragon 08:14 – Genesis 3:15 and the Enmity Between Mary and Satan 09:09 – Immaculate Conception & Mary’s Victory 10:07 – Mary’s Spiritual Combat Against the Dragon 10:48 – The Seven Virtues Crushing the Seven Deadly Sins 11:44 – Why the Devil Hates Mary 12:09 – Satan’s Attack on Mary’s Children 12:30 – The Dragon Wages War on the Faithful 13:15 – The Reality of Spiritual Warfare 14:08 – Do Not Give Space to the Devil 15:20 – No Compromise with Sin 15:33 – The Novena: Crushing the Seven Heads 16:04 – Closing Prayer & Invocation For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & 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.
