15th Sunday After Pentecost: What Happens at the Death of a Worldly Person ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

What ordinarily happens when a worldly person approaches death? In this sobering sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, St. Alphonsus Liguori reflects upon the final illness, reception of the last sacraments, the agony of death, burial and the soul’s eternal destiny. Beginning with Luke 7:12—“Behold, a dead man was carried out”—St. Alphonsus urges Christians to remember death while there is still time to repent. Earthly possessions, pleasures and honors cannot accompany us beyond the grave. What matters at the final hour is whether the soul is reconciled with God. This sermon is not intended to inspire despair, but conversion. It reminds us not to postpone confession, contrition or preparation for eternity until our faculties are weakened by illness. Let us detach our hearts from the world, receive the sacraments faithfully and live each day in the grace of God. “Remember, man, thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return.” Please like, subscribe and share this sermon with someone who may benefit from its timeless message. 00:00 The Practical Death 00:27 The widow’s son at Nain 00:43 Remember that you must die 01:22 Three stages of a worldly person’s death 01:41 The final illness begins 04:00 The danger others conceal 06:00 Delaying confession and the sacraments 09:59 Detachment from worldly possessions 10:13 Receiving the last sacraments 11:16 The confessor visits the dying man 15:06 Viaticum and Extreme Unction 17:36 The final agony of death 19:19 Prayers for the departing soul 20:30 The moment of death 21:03 Reflections after death 23:03 The soul’s eternal destiny #Catholic #Sermon #Homily #Death #Eternity #Pentecost #TraditionalCatholic #Salvation #Confession #LastRites https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
