The Power of Mary’s Intercession | Second Sunday after the Epiphany Sermon ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany, we reflect on the Gospel of the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11), where Jesus performed His first miracle at the request of His Blessed Mother. Discover the confidence we should have in recommending ourselves to the Mother of God, and how her intercession is never in vain. Through the insights of great saints like St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, and St. Alphonsus, we learn about: The greatness of Mary’s power to obtain graces from her Divine Son. The tender compassion of Mary and her readiness to assist us in all our needs. The importance of devotions such as the Rosary, the Angelus, the Scapular, and Saturday fasts. How Mary, as Mother of Mercy, never abandons those who call upon her with trust. From the story of Cana to the lives of the saints, this homily inspires us to deepen our devotion to Mary and to always turn to her as our refuge, advocate, and sure way to Christ. 🙏 Key Takeaway: Never hesitate to go to Mary. Her intercession is powerful, her heart is merciful, and she always leads us closer to Jesus. 00:00 – Introduction: Confidence in Mary’s Intercession 00:20 – The Wedding at Cana: “They have no wine” (John 2:1–11) 01:00 – Jesus responds: “My hour is not yet come” 01:40 – Mary’s powerful intercession at Cana 02:30 – First Point: The greatness of Mary’s power with God 03:50 – Why Mary’s prayers cannot be rejected 05:20 – Saints on Mary’s intercession (St. Bernard, St. Bonaventure, St. Bridget) 06:15 – Conclusion of Point One: Seeking grace through Mary 06:40 – Second Point: The tender compassion of Mary 07:20 – Mary acts as Advocate without being asked 08:00 – Mary’s mercy now greater in Heaven 09:10 – Invincible love of the Mother of Mercy 10:20 – Mary never rejects sinners who return with repentance 11:40 – Devotions to Mary (Rosary, Angelus, Saturday fasts, Scapular) 12:40 – Daily practices to remain close to Mary 13:20 – St. Mary of Egypt: Conversion through Mary’s intercession 14:20 – Closing Exhortation: Trust always in the Mother of God https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/sermon-vii-second-sunday-after-the-epiphany-on-the-confidence-with-which-we-ought-to-recommend-ourselves-to-the-mother-of-god/ #Catholic #Sermon #Homily #Mary #VirginMary #Epiphany #WeddingAtCana #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #TraditionalCatholic #SecondSundayAfterEpiphany #StAlphonsus #CatholicDevotion #Rosary #MotherOfGod 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
