The Hidden Meaning of the Holy Name of Mary ~ Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP

About this sermon

Why does the Church honor the Most Holy Name of Mary? This sermon explores the extraordinary spiritual meaning hidden within Our Lady’s name and why Catholics have invoked it for centuries in temptation, danger, and adversity. The reflection begins with the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary and recalls the Christian victory at Vienna in 1683 under Polish King Jan Sobieski, connecting the feast with confidence in the protection of the Mother of God. But the sermon then goes much deeper. Drawing upon St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Bonaventure, and Catholic tradition, it examines several meanings associated with the name Mary: Star of the Sea. Bitter Sea. Illuminatrix. Lady — Domina. Like a star guiding a ship through a storm, Our Lady directs souls tossed about by temptation and suffering toward the safe harbor of Heaven. The sermon also presents Mary as the New Eve, the immaculate helpmate of Christ the New Adam. Unlike fallen humanity, Mary’s intellect, will, emotions, and actions remained perfectly ordered toward God. So when Catholics say “Our Lady,” it is more than a devotional expression. We recognize the Mother of God as the woman under whose motherly protection we find Christ—the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
