About this sermon
Today we honor St. Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan priest, Marian apostle, and martyr of charity whose extraordinary devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary was inseparable from his love for Jesus Christ. In this homily, we reflect on one of Kolbe’s beautiful insights: we should never fear loving the Immaculata too much, because we could never love Mary as much as Jesus Himself loved her. Christ not only loved Mary as one of His creatures—He honored her as His Mother. This opens a profound biblical reflection on why Catholics give the Blessed Virgin Mary a unique place of honor and devotion. We also reflect on Christ and the temple tax: although Jesus truly belonged in His Father’s house, He was treated as though He were an outsider. The message for every Catholic parish, diocese, and church is urgent: Christ must never become a foreigner in His own Church. He must remain at the center. St. Maximilian Kolbe lived this Christ-centered faith to the end, offering his life at Auschwitz in place of fellow prisoner and family man Franciszek Gajowniczek. 🙏 St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us. 00:00 Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe 00:20 Kolbe’s Sacrifice at Auschwitz 00:57 Never Fear Loving the Immaculata 01:34 A Beautiful Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary 01:42 Loving Others as Christ Loves Them 01:57 Christ’s Singular Love for His Mother 02:13 Mary and the Fourth Commandment 02:54 Why Catholics Give Mary Singular Honor 03:20 Is Catholic Devotion to Mary Biblical? 03:37 Jesus, Peter & the Temple Tax 04:04 God Provides in an Extraordinary Way 04:18 Who Truly Belongs in the Temple? 04:40 Christ Was Not a Foreigner 04:58 Jesus Belongs at the Center 05:21 A Message for Every Parish & Diocese 05:39 Would Christ Feel at Home in Our Churches? 06:13 Keep Christ at the Center 06:31 Christ Must Never Be a Foreigner 06:45 The Example of St. Maximilian Kolbe For more please visit http://www.stacharlotte.com/library/daily-mass-homilies & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #StMaximilianKolbe #MaximilianKolbe #VirginMary #BlessedVirginMary #MarianDevotion #Catholic #CatholicFaith #CatholicSaints #CatholicChurch #Immaculata #JesusChrist #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicTeaching #OurLady #CatholicHomily
