St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, Confessor (27 February) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

February 27th – Feast of St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, Passionist, confessor, and heavenly Patron of Youth. “I am a very small soul…” – words of St. Thérèse that perfectly describe the hidden holiness of St. Gabriel. He performed no great public miracles in life, wrote no theological works, and held no prominent office. Yet in silence, humility, and burning love for the Passion of Christ and the Sorrows of Mary, he became a saint. Born in Assisi in 1838, Gabriel Possenti had every opportunity for worldly success. But one tender gaze from the Blessed Virgin changed everything. On August 22, 1854, he abandoned the world and entered the Passionists, taking the name Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows. For six short years in religious life, he embraced: Profound humility Hidden sacrifice Tender devotion to the Eucharist Deep meditation on the Passion Fervent love for Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows He died on February 27, 1862, at just 24 years old, placing his trust in Divine Mercy and the intercession of Mary. Canonized in 1920, he was later declared Patron and Model of Youth. As Lent approaches, his example calls us: To purity in the midst of the world. To meditation on Christ’s Passion. To childlike trust in Mary. “O Mary, Mother of grace and mercy, protect us from the enemy and at the hour of death receive us.” May St. Gabriel teach us to love Jesus and Mary deeply — and to sanctify ourselves in hiddenness. St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us. 0:00 – February 27: Feast of St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows 0:54 – The Gaze of the Madonna That Changed His Life 1:29 – Why He Chose the Passionists 2:00 – Hidden Holiness in Religious Life 2:26 – His Desire to Die of Love 2:46 – Patron and Model of Youth 2:49 – His Early Life in Assisi 3:18 – Taking the Name Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows 3:42 – His Devotion to the Passion & Eucharist 3:56 – Canonization and Universal Devotion 4:07 – A Saint for Lent and Conversion 4:57 – Meditation on the Passion 5:14 – Childlike Love for the Blessed Virgin 5:33 – Final Prayer to Mary https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/february/february-27-st-gabriel-of-our-lady-of-sorrows-confessor/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
