Hail Mary

Beneath Your Tender Mercy

Sub Tuum Praesidum

This page is a collection of videos I’ve come across that I found interesting, informative, encouraging, or meaningful in my journey to grow closer to God through devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some explore the beauty and power of the rosary, the lives of the saints, spiritual warfare, and the importance of prayer in our daily lives. Others share biblical teachings, Church history, miracles, Marian apparitions, and insights into the rich traditions of the Catholic faith.

One of the things I find most comforting about our faith is the belief that we are never truly alone. God has given us His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, His Blessed Mother, the angels, and the saints to guide us, inspire us, and help us along our spiritual journey. Through prayer and the communion of saints, we remain connected to the family of God, including those we have loved and lost. Remembering our departed loved ones and praying for their souls is a beautiful reminder that our love for one another does not end with death. I also believe that prayer, especially the rosary, is a powerful source of strength, comfort, and protection in the spiritual battles we face throughout our lives. Through Mary’s prayers and her example of humility, obedience, and faith, we are continually reminded to place our trust in God and draw closer to her Son, Jesus Christ. I’ve included a short description with each video to share a little about what it’s about and why I found it interesting or meaningful. I don’t necessarily agree with every point made in every video, but I do believe there’s something worth learning or considering in each one.

My hope is that you’ll find something here that encourages you to pray more often, deepen your devotion to the Blessed Mother, learn about the saints, remember your loved ones who have gone before us, and grow in your understanding and love of God. Above all, I hope this collection serves as a reminder that we are part of a much larger spiritual family, united in faith, hope, and love, and that through the grace of God, the prayers of the Blessed Mother, and the intercession of the saints, we never have to walk our journey toward heaven alone. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Why Mary Matters – Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon

“Friends, on this Fourth Sunday of Advent, we come to the Advent figure par excellence: the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. What I want to do in this homily is to look at some of the Church’s classical titles of Mary. These are not simply pious exclamations, but rather very substantive insights into her role in bringing Christ to birth—both in history and in us today.”

Errors of Russia (1/3) & and the Warning of Fatima | Our Lady’s Prophecy & the Family Under Attack

In this powerful sermon, we revisit Our Lady of Fatima’s prophetic warning from July 1917 — a message that continues to echo with urgency in our times. The Blessed Virgin Mary warned that if mankind did not cease offending God, “Russia will spread her errors throughout the world.” This video explores how those errors of Russia — atheistic communism, moral relativism, and the destruction of the family — have infiltrated modern society, family life, education, and even the media. Drawing from Pope Pius XI’s 1937 encyclical on atheistic communism, and the writings of Fr. John Hardon and Frederick Engels, this sermon reveals the philosophical and spiritual roots of today’s moral confusion. Finally, it offers the heavenly remedy given by Our Lady of Fatima: prayer, penance, and the Holy Rosary — the weapons to defend faith, family, and civilization itself.
