The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (8 September) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (September 8) with this timeless meditation from Dom Prosper Guéranger, O.S.B., drawn from The Liturgical Year. “Let us celebrate the Nativity of the Virgin Mary; let us adore her Son, Christ Our Lord.” Enter the Church’s joy as heaven and earth greet the Mother of God—our haven after many storms, the aurora that ushers in the Sun of Justice. In this reading you’ll hear: rich biblical imagery, the Church’s ancient prayers and propers, notes on the feast’s history in East and West, and stirring reflections on Our Lady’s role in salvation history—“Mary, the center of the universe… the cause of creation,” as the saints acclaim. 📖 Text: Dom Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year (public-domain translation widely circulated). 📅 Feast: September 8 — The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 0:00 Intro & opening antiphon 0:15 “Let us celebrate the Nativity…” — Church’s invitation 0:39 Earthly paradise imagery & new creation in Mary 1:28 Haven, aurora, rainbow, dove, ark — titles of Our Lady 2:15 Mother of fair love; the “little cloud” that refreshes the earth 2:35 Angels recognize their Queen; Tower of David 3:05 Temple & palace: Mary planned from all eternity 3:20 Divine maternity proclaimed; Emmanuel and His Mother 4:08 Mary’s maternity across all time 4:26 St Bernard: Mary, center of the universe 5:36 Andrew of Crete & St John Damascene on this feast 6:22 Rome & Byzantium united in celebration 7:31 Origins and diffusion of the feast (Angers, Chartres, Robert the Pious) 8:20 Innocent IV establishes the octave (1245); later additions 9:39 Prayer for peace; signs around Christ’s birth 10:03 Pax Augusta; closing of Janus; prophetic signs 11:04 Month of Tishri; liturgical symbolism 11:22 Sun enters Virgo; Joachim & Anne rejoice 12:06 Prudentius’ hymn; Psalm of the Bride 12:38 Collect: may today’s mystery grow in us 13:10 Commemoration of St Adrian 13:24 Lesson (Prov/Wisdom 8): Eternal Wisdom before all ages 15:14 Princes and genealogy — setting up Matthew 1 16:32 Eternal decrees: the God-Man and His Mother 16:52 Gradual: Virgin and Mother of God 17:33 Gospel (Mt 1): Genealogy to “Mary, of whom was born Jesus” 19:20 The whole mystery in “of whom was born Jesus” 20:08 The overshadowing; Mary above the heights 21:00 Offertory & Secret; purity and sacrifice 22:00 Preface: angels adore; sanctus 22:57 Communion antiphon; post-communion prayer 24:06 St Gorgonius, martyr of the palace 26:36 Fulbert of Chartres & Robert the Pious responsories 27:51 Queen of angels; wonder of the Incarnation 28:39 “Grow up, little one” — crushing the serpent; closing reflection 29:57 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/september/september-8-the-nativity-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/ #NativityOfMary #BlessedVirginMary #OurLady #FeastDay #September8 #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicFeasts #TheLiturgicalYear #ProsperGueranger #MarianDevotion #SensusFidelium #LatinMass #CatholicHomily #CatholicPrayer #OurLadyOfJoy #CatholicLiturgy #OurLadyNativity #JoachimAndAnne #AveMaria #HailMary 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
