St. Felix of Valois (20 November): Mary Rescues Us From the Captivity of Sin

About this sermon

In this beautiful and profound homily, we reflect on Saint Felix of Valois, co-founder of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinitarians), and his deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Learn how an angel revealed the Trinitarian habit, how Our Lady herself appeared in that same habit, and how the order was divinely inspired to ransom Christian captives. This reflection also turns toward the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, exploring her unique role in salvation history and her profound Fiat at the Annunciation—described by the saints as the very beginning of our redemption. Through Mary’s total cooperation with God’s will, humanity received the Savior, and through her maternal mediation, we continue to receive the graces Christ won for us. Drawing on the wisdom of Saint Bernard, this homily illuminates Mary's “overflowing” merits for the salvation of souls and her spiritual motherhood over each of us. Saint Felix of Valois is invoked as a model of Marian devotion, courage, sacrificial love, and trust in divine providence. This is an excellent meditation for Catholics seeking to grow in Marian devotion, understand the theological foundations of co-redemption, and appreciate the history of the Trinitarians and their mission of merciful ransom. 00:00 – Opening blessing 00:27 – Introduction to Saint Felix of Valois 00:44 – His early hermit life and partnership with St. John of Matha 01:21 – Divine inspiration and approval of the Trinitarian Order 02:22 – Angelic revelation of the Trinitarian habit 03:01 – Marian apparition wearing the Trinitarian habit 03:46 – Death of St. Felix & historical context 04:01 – Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 04:38 – Connection between St. Felix and Our Lady 05:50 – Marian mediation and merits 06:12 – The Annunciation as the beginning of Redemption 07:41 – Fiat of Mary and the new creation 08:17 – Mary’s co-redemptive merit 09:08 – Her role in ransoming us from sin 09:39 – Growth of her merits through the life of Christ 10:46 – Mary at Calvary completing her offering 11:04 – St. Bernard: “Plena sibi, nobis superplena” 12:04 – Mary’s overflowing grace for our salvation 12:31 – Spiritual motherhood of Mary 12:48 – Saint Felix’s devotion to Our Lady 13:13 – Closing exhortation 13:25 – Final blessing 13:31 – Closing message For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
