About this sermon
In this powerful Catholic homily, we reflect on two profound feasts: St. James Intercisus, a Persian martyr whose heroic witness cost him his very limbs, and the feast of the Miraculous Medal, revealed by Our Lady to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830. The message explores the inspiring courage of St. James, who returned to the faith after denying Christ and willingly embraced martyrdom piece by piece. His story challenges us to remain unshakeable in our daily witness to Christ—even when faced with pressure or persecution. The homily then beautifully transitions to the history of the Miraculous Medal, including the apparitions of Our Lady, the symbolism of the medal, and remarkable stories of healing and conversion. Included are personal anecdotes involving Fr. John Hardon, S.J., and modern miracles attributed to the medal’s devout use. This inspiring reflection encourages us to deepen devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, rely on her intercession, and boldly live our Catholic faith with love, courage, and confidence. 🙏 "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." 00:00 – Opening Prayer 00:08 – Introduction to Today’s Feasts 00:19 – The Feast of St. James Intercisus 00:31 – Background: Persian Saint in the King’s Court 00:46 – His Fall, Conversion, and Repentance 01:17 – His Martyrdom: Cut Into Pieces for Christ 02:01 – The Courage of Witnesses to the Faith 02:13 – Feast of the Miraculous Medal 02:19 – St. Catherine Labouré’s Apparitions 02:33 – The Angelic Guidance to the Chapel 02:38 – Appearance of Our Lady 02:45 – Vision of the Medal’s Design 03:05 – The Reverse Side & Symbolism 03:16 – Secrecy and Obedience of the Visionary 03:46 – Early Miracles & Spread of the Medal 04:07 – Story of Fr.
