Notre-Dame des Victoires, Refuge des Pécheurs - January 16th, 2026 | No Greater Delight
No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 04:30 The Imitation of Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree
Notre-Dame-des-Victoires
La basilique Notre-Dame-des-Victoires de Paris est un lieu de culte catholique situé place des Petits-Pères dans le 2e arrondissement de Paris, dont la construction a débuté en 1629 et s'est achevée en 1740. C'est le dernier vestige du couvent des Augustins déchaussés (dit couvent des Petits Pères).
La basilique est dédiée à la Vierge Marie sous le nom de « Notre-Dame des Victoires » à la suite de la demande de Louis XII et vénérée enfin sous le nom de « Notre-Dame des Victoires, refuges des malades et des pêcheurs » à la suite de l'appel reçu par le frère Fiacre.
