When You Die, Call on Mary | St. Philip Beniti & the Seven Sorrows

About this sermon

What happens when a soul devoted to the Blessed Virgin approaches the hour of death? This homily on St. Philip Beniti reflects on his extraordinary vocation to the Servite Order and his lifelong devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Mary. As a young man discerning his vocation, Philip heard the words, “Draw near and join thyself to the chariot.” In a mystical vision, he saw the Blessed Virgin surrounded by angels and saints, holding the Servite habit and calling him to draw near to her sorrows and her Immaculate Heart. Philip later became General of the Servite Order and spread devotion to Our Lady’s Seven Sorrows throughout Europe and beyond. When he was considered for the papacy, his humility led him to flee into hiding until another pope was chosen. The sermon concludes with a powerful meditation on Mary’s assistance in temptation, death, and judgment. We repeatedly pray: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.” Keep the names of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on your lips—and entrust your final hour to Our Lady. 🙏 St. Philip Beniti, pray for us! 00:00 Introduction 00:23 From the Immaculate Heart to the Seven Sorrows 01:02 The Life of St. Philip Beniti 01:45 A Miracle When Philip Was Five Months Old 02:33 Philip Discerns His Vocation 02:49 “Draw Near and Join Thyself to the Chariot” 03:24 Philip’s Vision of a Dangerous Wilderness 03:54 Our Lady Appears in the Chariot 04:12 The Servites & the Seven Sorrows of Mary 04:29 Mary Calls Philip to Her Sorrows 04:45 Philip Enters the Servite Order 05:01 His Growth in Holiness 05:18 Philip Becomes General of the Servites 05:34 Spreading Devotion to the Seven Sorrows 05:59 Philip Is Considered for the Papacy 06:30 The Saint Who Fled Into the Desert 06:47 His Humility, Purity & Prayer 07:21 Meditating on the Seven Sorrows 07:52 The Prophecy of Simeon 08:17 Mary Foresees Christ’s Passion 08:38 Pray Through the Sorrows of Our Lady 08:56 The Holy Death of St. Philip Beniti 09:03 Satan Attacks Him at Death 09:20 Mary Protects Her Children 09:35 Consecrate Yourself to Our Lady 09:49 Mary’s Help Against Temptation 10:13 “Now and at the Hour of Our Death” 10:31 Mary as Advocate at Judgment 10:47 The Chariot of the Immaculate Heart 11:16 The Demons Fear the Name of Mary 11:26 Keep Mary’s Name on Your Lips 11:42 Jesus, Mary & Joseph #StPhilipBeniti #SevenSorrowsOfMary #OurLadyOfSorrows #BlessedVirginMary #ImmaculateHeartOfMary #ServiteOrder #CatholicFaith #HourOfDeath #MarianDevotion #CatholicSermon #MotherOfGod #HailMary #TraditionalCatholic #SaintOfTheDay #SensusFidelium For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
