“Let him who has ears Hear.” Matthew 13:19

Our Lady, Our Mother

This week on From the Housetops, Brother Matthew presents a sermon by Father Brian O’Hanlon on the indispensable role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the Church and in the spiritual life of every Christian. Just as Our Lord entered the world through Mary’s fiat and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles through her intercession, so too the faithful are called to draw closer to Christ through devotion to His Mother. Drawing from the teachings of St. Louis de Montfort, Father O’Hanlon explains the qualities of true Marian devotion: it must be interior, tender, constant, and holy.

The sermon also highlights the importance of the Rosary as a means of growing in the knowledge and love of Christ. Through prayer, meditation, and filial confidence in Our Lady, souls learn to recognize God’s presence in every circumstance of life. Listen to this episode to discover how authentic devotion to Mary helps form Christ within us and leads us more faithfully on the path to salvation.
