The Annunciation of the Ever Blessed Virgin (25 March) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

On March 25, Holy Mother Church celebrates the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary — the day the Eternal Word was made flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, we enter into the mystery of the Incarnation, the humility of Christ, and the glorious obedience of Our Lady. This meditation beautifully contrasts Eve and Mary, showing how the obedience of the New Eve repaired the disobedience of the first. It reflects on Gabriel’s message, Mary’s Fiat, the crushing of the serpent’s head, and the triumph of God’s mercy in the midst of Lent. This is one of the most profound feast days in the Catholic year: the day on which God became man, the day on which Mary consented to become the Mother of God, and the day on which the hope of fallen mankind began to be fulfilled in the most intimate way. In this video: Dom Guéranger reflects on the Annunciation as the fulfillment of prophecy The mystery of the Incarnation is considered in light of salvation history Mary is presented as the New Eve whose obedience brings life The liturgical riches of First Vespers, Mass, Second Vespers, and ancient hymns are explored Catholic souls are invited to gratitude, repentance, and deeper love for Jesus and Mary This meditation is especially fitting during Lent, when the Church pauses her penitential sorrow to rejoice in the mystery of Our Lord’s conception in the womb of the Blessed Virgin. “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word.” #Catholic #Annunciation #BlessedVirginMary #DomProsperGueranger #LiturgicalYear #TraditionalCatholic #MotherOfGod #Incarnation #OurLady #CatholicMeditation 0:00 Introduction 0:16 The greatness of March 25 and the mystery of the Incarnation 1:16 The fall of Adam and Eve and the promise of salvation 2:05 Four thousand years of expectation for the Messiah 2:39 Mary as the woman foretold to crush the serpent 3:19 The Annunciation at Nazareth 3:50 Eve and Mary: Eden contrasted with Nazareth 5:03 Gabriel greets Mary, full of grace 6:12 The angel announces the conception of Jesus 7:16 Eve’s disobedience contrasted with Mary’s purity 8:03 Mary’s fidelity and the angel’s reply 9:00 Eve brings death, Mary brings life 10:02 Mary’s Fiat and the Incarnation of the Word 11:08 Satan’s humiliation and Mary’s triumph 12:48 Why the Church solemnizes the Annunciation 14:00 First Vespers of the Annunciation 14:33 Psalms and antiphons of Vespers 19:41 Capitulum, hymn, and Magnificat antiphon 21:21 The Mass of the Annunciation 22:24 Collect and the mystery of Mary as Mother of God 23:08 Epistle from Isaiah: a virgin shall conceive 27:21 Gospel from Luke 1: the Annunciation 29:24 Saint Bernard on Eve and Mary 31:28 Offertory, Secret, and Preface 33:23 Communion and Postcommunion 34:36 Second Vespers 41:11 Hymns from various liturgical traditions 42:12 Medieval sequence on the Annunciation 43:57 Ambrosian liturgy on Mary and redemption 45:00 Mozarabic prayer to the Virgin Mother 45:47 Greek liturgy and the praise of Mary 49:16 Thanksgiving to the Incarnate Word 51:12 Praise of Mary as Mother of God 53:30 Mary crushes the serpent’s head 54:11 Prayer for repentance and conversion 55:06 Closing meditation on Nazareth and Bethlehem https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/march/march-25-the-annunciation-of-the-ever-blessed-virgin/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
