The Most Ancient Prayer to Mother Mary: Sub Tuum Praesidium #prayer #catholic #church

00:00 Intro/History of Prayer 07:05 The Prayer The “Sub Tuum Praesidium” is considered the most ancient complete prayer to Our Lady. Today, many Catholics, especially the laity, are unfamiliar with the prayer despite the fact that it has been prayed in its present form from the earliest centuries of the Church. The oldest text of this prayer is found in the Coptic Orthodox Christmas liturgy, written on papyrus from Egypt in Greek, dated to between 250-280. This prayer is very short and simple, yet full of profound meaning. The prayer is especially appropriate in these times of great evil when we as Catholics are faced with an increasingly aggressive anti-Christian secularism and even Satanism. #devotional #mary #gospel #miracle #christian #jesus #bible
