St Ignatius & the Daughter of Sion

About this sermon

The Fathers of the Church indicate that Sion is the Upper Room. That means the Daughter of Sion is She Who is born out of the Upper Room, namely the Holy Catholic Church on Pentecost Sunday. There is an ancient principle that states what is said of the Church in a universal way can be said of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a special way and vice versa. Thus, we can always check our Mariology with our Ecclesiology and vice versa. This also means the Blessed Virgin is the Daughter of Sion. We might also see her as the Citadel of Sion, meaning she cannot be conquered. Those who enter into this Citadel of God, will be like St. Ignatius of Antioch...able to handle and conquer all that hell can throw against them. O how important it is to consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and remain faithful in this consecration.
