St. Mary Magdalen of Pazzi (25 May): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi was one of the greatest Carmelite mystics in Church history. Born into a noble Florentine family in 1566, she renounced worldly honors to become a bride of Christ and a victim soul of divine love. Her life was marked by ecstatic visions, severe spiritual trials, heroic mortification, deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist, and burning love for Jesus Crucified. In this powerful reading from The Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler, discover the astonishing life of the saint who cried out: “O Love! Love is not loved!” From her childhood holiness to her years of interior darkness and mystical union with God, St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi teaches Catholics the meaning of suffering, humility, prayer, penance, and divine charity. May her example inspire deeper devotion to Christ, greater love for the Holy Eucharist, and perseverance in trials. 0:00 – Introduction 0:16 – Noble Birth in Florence 0:53 – Childhood Holiness & Love for the Poor 1:26 – Teaching Catechism as a Child 1:59 – Early Prayer & Desire for God 2:23 – Mortifications & Meditation on Christ’s Passion 3:25 – Devotion to the Eucharist 3:40 – First Communion & Vow of Virginity 4:22 – Choosing the Carmelite Order 5:10 – Taking the Religious Habit 6:00 – Suffering Illness with Joy 6:38 – Mystical Consolations & Raptures 7:29 – Why God Permits Spiritual Trials 8:02 – Interior Desolation & Humility 8:40 – “Love Is Not Loved” 9:25 – Tears for Sinners & Souls 10:07 – Severe Temptations & Spiritual Warfare 11:30 – Strength Through Christ’s Passion 11:45 – Peace Restored After Five Years 12:17 – Gift of Prophecy 12:42 – Union with God & Divine Love 13:59 – Zeal for the Salvation of Souls 14:23 – Extraordinary Humility 15:03 – Final Illnesses & Sufferings 15:41 – Holy Death in 1607 16:23 – Lessons from Her Life 17:03 – Joy in the Love of God 18:07 – Divine Love Never Rests https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/may/st-mary-magdalen-of-pazzi/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
