St. Ann, the Grandmother of Our Lord (26 July): Always Hold off till the End

About this sermon

St. Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, teaches Catholics one of the greatest spiritual lessons: never judge God's plan before the end. In this traditional Catholic sermon, we reflect on the remarkable lives of Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, who endured years of childlessness before receiving the greatest gift imaginable—the Blessed Virgin Mary. Their lives reveal God's providence, perseverance in suffering, and the importance of trusting Him even when prayers seem unanswered. The sermon also explores: • The Holy Family and the importance of spiritual families • The Immaculate Conception and St. Anne's unique role • The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary • Why God sometimes delays His answers • The Pearl of Great Price • Spiritual motherhood and fatherhood • Bringing souls to Christ • Perseverance until death • Hope in God's eternal plan This timeless homily reminds us that our lives are not judged by the hardships we experience now, but by the glorious ending God has prepared for those who remain faithful. "Nothing is impossible with God. It is not the beginning that matters most—it is the end." May St. Anne pray for all families, married couples, grandparents, parents, and everyone waiting patiently upon God's will. 00:00 Introduction 00:23 Votive Mass of St. Anne 00:56 Christ Entered a Real Family 01:27 The Church as Our Spiritual Family 01:50 St. Anne and St. Joachim's Long Trial 02:44 The Pearl of Great Price 03:40 St. Anne and the Immaculate Conception 04:22 Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 05:03 The Deaths of Joachim and Anne 05:34 Never Judge Before the End 06:32 God's Story Isn't Finished 07:12 Don't Stop Before the Final Chapter 08:07 Persevere Through Every Trial 08:47 Spiritual Motherhood Is Greater 09:37 Saving Souls Through Prayer 10:25 The Pearl of Great Price Revisited 10:41 Pray for Perseverance 10:58 Final Blessing https://www.tanbooks.com/ type SF15 at Checkout for 15% off Please 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.
