Yup. That’s me. Sloth and gluttony. With some lack of humility.

As a rule, I don't click on videos that aren't on Sensus Fidelium, especially videos that aren't from the Marian Friars Minor 😉

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. The world is fleeting and passing away. God is the only eternal being. I really appreciate this sermon. Thank you for making it. For me, I suffer not only from sloth, but even worse from cowardice and fear. The things that keep us from holiness are so trivial... Yet they're still so difficult to overcome. Lord have mercy. Thank you for reminding me that even if I amount to nothing (which is the most probable outcome of my life) I can still do the most important thing with my life and focus on becoming holy. Not for my glory, but out of love and desire for God and the eternity with Him. Pardon the long post. Thank you again for this sermon. God bless you and yours and all those who hear your edifying words.

Thank you Fr for the reminders. I wasn’t able to attend the Mass today because I forgot to turn on my alarm last night and I had a lot justification saying that I deserve rest because I travelled yesterday 😢 No wonder I easily get anxious these days because I also hit the snooze, snacking between meals, almost arriving late at Mass 😔 But again thank you Lord Jesus for providence by sending the Holy Spirit to lead me to this video…truly Your patience is our salvation

Amen

Is this part of a series? I'd like to listen to the purgative stage too. Summady share the link. 😊

To strive for holiness and perfection is frown upon these days, not praised, not even by (Novus Ordo) priests, just as it is not "cool" to be a good student or an intellectual.

Hello Fr, thanks for this video and it’s sermon, I have been battling with myself for a while now, wondering if I am doing “too much”, I would really want to be able to tell when to stop, so that I don’t go too extreme in this call to holiness. Cause I fear that am not doing enough and at the same time worry that I might be doing too much Would appreciate a response from you

Help, I'm a Soul trapped in a body. The body ( temple of the Holy Spirit) is the vessel given us to Port Are Soul Around to see if we Are Worthy of Heaven.🙏

Hes vague as well and really gives no tools for holiness

I clicked because I knew I had to hear that. Ouch.

This is why the secular made it popular to say "nobody's perfect" "it's/ I'm only human". It's a sloth trap.

Oh no. Yes I AM hitting snooze, and taking seconds, and eating between meals, ...

Another lesson hitting the target for me. Arrive at the finish line completely spent! Thank you.

Prayer is the tool required for perfection.

Brothers and sisters, please keep my country Kenya in your prayers. Please pray the rosary for our peace too. The people tried to peacefully protest a new finance bill, but our president is very cruel, and had given orders to kill protesters. Now we have the military deployed in all areas, and the youth are not afraid to die for their freedom. We know that politics are actually matters of spiritual warfare, and that is why I am asking for your prayers. Thank you.

Thank you for this urgent reminder. It only takes a few well chosen words to hit the 'nail on the head'.

Wow. Thank you Father. Thank you May God Bless You. Thank you Sensus Fidelium for these wonderful sermons.

holiness: arriving at the finish line completely spent

Forgive me Father me having knowledge of God's Will, but without obedience. Lord Jesus, I desire your gift of living in your 'Divine Will,' if you grant it to me I graciously accept it. Amen.

Strive though the narrow gate.

Interesting. Wish there was more. I struggle with eating enough to maintain my state in life; my duties to fellow man/family. Seconds are only an issue for me at thanksgiving and good mashed potatoes.

I do not believe you can drop all sin to leave an empty space .... it's rather than sin is exchanged for God, step by step like a game of Othello.

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Wow Father great homily, I need to start tomorrow denying myself and to overcome laziness ❤

Can a win/win between one's spirit and ass be achieved without adulteration to the purity of the spiritual intention? For example, to maintain strict temperance overvfood & drink to mortify the flesh and, at the same time, beautifying the outward tabernacle.

Probably because not many in the modern age want that kind of lifestyle.

My local rector preaches that we should all be "more fraternal and human" - forgetting that being human is to err - rather than being more holy and perfect as the Father.

What’s he reading from?

AMEN AMEN AMEN!! BEST Homily EVER!! TY, Father!

What a nice reminder that all is hopeless and I am going to hell.

All people in heaven are saints, and most people will not go to heaven. Little Jacinta of Fatima was told about WW2 ahead of time and that most of the ones who will die in it won't go to heaven .
