72: It's Christmas Day! Sermon of St. Vincent Ferrer!

Catholic Conversations

Here I read the sermon of St. Vincent Ferrer on Christmas Day.
Topics addressed:
St. Vincent Ferrer paints us a portrait of the nativity of our Lord. From the coming to Jerusalem to the laying in a manger. What does it all mean? Why a manger? How did our Lady feed our Lord? Plus so much more!

St. Vincent Ferrer: Christmas Sermon (Lk 2:11)

"This day, is born to you a Savior," (Lk 2:11). Our sermon will be about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Virgin Birth. But that you might sense the spiritual sweetness of this feast, we shall salute the glorious Mother of God. [Vincent now leads his listeners in the "Hail Mary."]

"There is born to us etc." From the beginning of the world up to the birth of Christ there has never been heard such good news, nor so useful for mankind like the news of the proposed theme, "This day, is born to you a Savior," (Lk 2:11) etc. To all who were lost and damned and sentenced to hell. The declaration of this blessed Nativity I deal with in five conclusions.

1. First, that this blessed Nativity was from of old ardently desired by the saints.

2. Second, that this blessed Nativity was cruelly unappreciated by the Jews.

3. Third, that this blessed Nativity was celebrated powerfully by God.

4. Fourth, that this blessed Nativity was humbly hidden by the Virgin Mary.

5. Fifth, that this blessed Nativity was broadcast publicly by the angels saying, "This day, is born to you a Savior," (Lk 2:11).

And anyone who, curiously, might wish to preach all five conclusions, would be excessively prolix. And all are touched in the theme, in which there are five conditions. The first, therefore, is touched by the first saying. The second in the second. The third in the third, and so on for the others.
