The Epiphany & the Conversion of the Nations | On the Three Wise Men ~ Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP

About this sermon

On the Feast of the Epiphany, the Church celebrates far more than the visit of the Three Wise Men. This powerful Catholic sermon explains how the adoration of the Magi marks the beginning of the conversion of the pagan nations and reveals God’s eternal plan for the salvation of all peoples through the Church. The Wise Men—learned, wealthy, and observant of God’s creation—leave everything behind to follow the star to Bethlehem. In doing so, they become the first representatives of the Gentile world to adore Christ the King. Their journey mirrors our own conversion, for before Baptism, we too were pagans invited into God’s sacred alliance. This homily explores: Why Epiphany is the feast of universal conversion The Church as the New and Definitive Jerusalem The spiritual meaning of gold, frankincense, and myrrh The danger of sin after entering God’s covenant Our duty to pray and sacrifice for the conversion of nations The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as the continuation of Calvary The gift of myrrh foreshadows Christ’s sacrificial death, reminding us that the joyful crib of Bethlehem leads directly to the Cross—and ultimately to the Eucharistic Sacrifice offered on the altar today. May this sermon renew your faith, zeal, gratitude, and missionary spirit, as we rejoice that God has called us into His Church and entrusted us with the salvation of souls. ✝️ “All they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense, and showing forth praise to the Lord.” (Isaiah 60) 00:00 – Opening Prayer & Feast of the Epiphany 00:37 – Why Epiphany Marks the Conversion of the Nations 01:13 – The Journey of the Wise Men 01:36 – The Magi as Forerunners of Pagan Conversion 02:05 – Genuflection & Adoration at the Gospel 02:56 – Seeing Our Own Conversion in the Crib 03:41 – Was Salvation Meant Only for the Jews? 04:29 – God’s Plan for All Nations 05:25 – Jerusalem as the New Church 06:16 – The Church as the New Jerusalem 07:04 – Sin as Turning Away from Christ 08:10 – The Danger of Infidelity After Baptism 08:37 – Praying for the Conversion of Souls 09:49 – The Catholic Church as the Ark of Salvation 10:15 – Prophecy of Isaiah Fulfilled 10:57 – The Meaning of Gold and Frankincense 11:08 – Myrrh and the Sacrifice of Christ 12:25 – The Mass as the Sacrifice of Calvary 13:10 – Joy of Epiphany & Our Mission Today 14:03 – Hope of Eternal Glory 14:19 – Closing Prayer Fr’s new books on the Eucharist & Priests are here: On the Holy Eucharist - https://fraternitypublications.com/product/ego-eimi-it-is-i/ On the sacred Priesthood - http://aroucapress.com/x-ray-of-the-priest & use "Arouca" (it is case sensitive) for 10% off in the Coupon Code Section Near Missed Masses - https://aroucapress.com/near-missed-masses & use "Arouca" (it is case sensitive) for 10% off in the Coupon Code Section Their quarterly magazine Dowry here: https://fssp.co.uk/category/dowry/ Seminary blog: http://fsspwigratzbad.blogspot.com/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
