St. Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary (26 July) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Today we celebrate Saint Anne, the glorious Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to the flesh. In this profound meditation from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, we contemplate the hidden yet indispensable role of St. Anne in God's plan of salvation. Dom Guéranger reflects on the long years of suffering endured by St. Anne and St. Joachim, their steadfast faith despite barrenness, the miraculous birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the preparation of the woman chosen from all eternity to become the Mother of God. He also explores the Church's ancient devotion to St. Anne, the growth of her feast in East and West, her relics, famous shrines, and her powerful intercession for Christian families, mothers, wives, and all who seek holiness. St. Anne reminds us that many of God's greatest works begin in hiddenness, patience, prayer, and faithful perseverance. Through her maternal care, the Blessed Virgin Mary was lovingly formed for her unique vocation, and through her prayers, Christians continue to receive countless graces. May Saint Anne intercede for our families, strengthen Christian homes, obtain perseverance in the Faith, and help us imitate her humility, fidelity, and trust in Divine Providence. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 The glory of St. Anne 00:48 The holy grandparents of Christ 01:04 Joachim and Anne's trial of barrenness 01:49 Anne's prayer in the garden 03:09 The angel announces Mary's birth 04:05 Joachim returns from the desert 04:30 The birthplace of the Blessed Virgin 05:03 The dawn of Redemption 06:07 The angels contemplate St. Anne 07:21 The meaning of Anne's name 08:17 St. Anne educates the Blessed Virgin Mary 09:21 St. Anne as patroness of families and craftsmen 10:33 Ancient devotion to St. Anne 12:25 Growth of her feast in the West 12:56 Relics of St. Anne 14:03 Universal feast established 14:43 St. Anne d'Auray 15:31 St. Anne and the Christian family 17:35 Prayer for wives, mothers, and homes 19:43 Eastern liturgical hymns 21:25 Western liturgical praise 23:48 Ambrosian prayer 24:26 Final collect https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/july/july-26-st-anne-mother-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
