The Finding of the Body of St. Francis & The Miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe

About this sermon

In this video, we reflect on two profound moments in Catholic history: the Finding of the Body of Saint Francis of Assisi and the miraculous apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. After the death of Saint Francis of Assisi in 1226, his body was hidden for centuries to protect it from desecration and political turmoil. By the early 19th century, its location had been forgotten. In 1818, under the authority of Pope Pius VII, a painstaking search beneath the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi led to the astonishing rediscovery of his undisturbed remains, along with mysterious burial objects. This event is commemorated by the Franciscan Order with a special feast each year. The video also honors Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose miraculous apparition to Saint Juan Diego in December of 1531 changed the course of evangelization in the Americas. Appearing as a humble indigenous woman, the Blessed Virgin Mary left her miraculous image on Juan Diego’s tilma, an image that remains preserved to this day in Mexico City. Through her maternal intercession, millions converted to the Catholic faith in one of the greatest mass conversions in Church history. Together, these sacred events remind us of God’s providence, the humility of His saints, the sanctity of life, and the maternal care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🙏 May the Holy Names of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph be blessed now and forever. 00:00 Opening Prayer & Holy Names 00:36 Feast of the Finding of St. Francis’ Body 01:16 Why St. Francis’ Body Was Hidden 02:01 The 1818 Excavation Beneath the Basilica 02:31 Discovery of St. Francis’ Undisturbed Remains 02:37 Objects Found in the Tomb 03:10 Feast Instituted by Pope Leo XIII 03:32 Introduction to Our Lady of Guadalupe 03:43 Apparition to St. Juan Diego (1531) 04:27 The Bishop’s Request for a Sign 04:38 The Miracle of the Tilma 05:12 Procession & Early Shrine 05:23 Mass Conversion of the Americas 06:05 Mary’s Role in Evangelization & Life 06:29 Closing Prayer & Blessing For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ Weekly Sensus Fidelium Newsletter - https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
