The Virtues of Mary: Holiness, Humility, and Mystical Union with God ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

What does it really mean to be holy—and how does Our Lady show us the way? In this in-depth talk, we explore sanctifying grace, virtue (prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance), the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady’s mystical marriage with the Holy Spirit, and how Mary’s perfect charity, humility, and modesty shape the Christian life. You’ll also hear practical guidance on forming virtue, educating children, overcoming anger, and leaning on sacramentals and devotions (like Our Lady Undoer of Knots and the Sacred Heart). We look at Mary’s uniqueness among creatures, her freedom from original and actual sin, her participation in Christ’s sacrifice beneath the Cross, and why true devotion to Our Lady accelerates growth in grace. Plus: angels, demons, spiritual battles, and why God sometimes allows afflictions for our sanctification. If you’ve ever asked “How do I become holy in daily life?”, this is for you. 🙏 If this helped, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who loves Our Lady.
