Tota Pulchra Es | St. Francis de Sales on Mary’s Immaculate Conception

About this sermon

Celebrate the profound mystery of the Immaculate Conception with this powerful sermon, preached at the conclusion of a solemn novena, accompanied by a beautiful sung Mass with choir and orchestra. This homily reflects deeply on God’s plan for redemption, the unique grace given to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the theological insights of St. Francis de Sales, Pope Pius IX, Sacred Scripture, and the Church Fathers. In this moving message, we hear how God—who chooses the small and humble to accomplish His greatest works—prepared Mary from the first moment of her conception to be the Immaculate Mother of the Redeemer. Through rich imagery, timeless teaching, and references to the ancient hymn Tota Pulchra Es, the sermon invites the faithful to rejoice with Our Lady, clothed in holiness, who crushes the serpent and bears Christ into the world. This is a beautiful resource for anyone seeking to grow in devotion to Mary, understand the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, or meditate more deeply on God’s plan of salvation. 00:00 – Opening Invocation: In the Name of the Holy Trinity 00:11 – The Feast of the Immaculate Conception & Solemn Novena 00:53 – Guest Preacher Reflection: God Never “Circles the Wagons” 01:42 – God Chooses the Small to Accomplish the Great 02:36 – The Beginning of Redemption in Mary's Earliest Moment 03:24 – St. Francis de Sales on Mary’s Singular Grace 04:05 – Original Sin Halted: The Jordan River Analogy 05:58 – Mary—Clothed in Heavenly Glory by Her Son 06:49 – Mary’s Voice Through Scripture: Wisdom Speaks 07:15 – Pope Pius IX on the Immaculate Conception 08:43 – The Eternal Decree of Mary’s Immaculate Origin 09:47 – The Twofold Reason for the Immaculate Conception 10:55 – Mary Redeemed Preemptively for All Humanity 11:45 – Why the Fathers Call Mary ‘Cause of Our Salvation’ 12:20 – Conclusion: Mary Crushes the Serpent—Rejoice with Her For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau/wausau-sermons/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
