1st Sunday of Advent – On the General Judgment ~ St Alphonsus

About this sermon

In this powerful Advent sermon, we meditate on the Final Judgment, the appearance of Christ in glory, the separation of the just and the wicked, and the eternal destinies revealed on that great and terrible day. Drawing from Scripture—Matthew, Joel, Daniel, Corinthians—and from the teachings of St. Jerome, St. Augustine, St. Bernard, St. Thomas Aquinas, and others, this sermon offers a vivid reminder of the need for repentance, vigilance, and holy living. As Advent calls us to prepare for the coming of the Lord, this reflection helps us to look seriously at the state of our souls, the scrutiny of conscience at the Last Judgment, and the eternal joy or eternal loss awaiting every person. 🙏 “Jesus Christ is now a Father and not a Judge. He is ready to pardon all who repent.” Let us turn toward His mercy while there is still time. 0:00 – Introduction: First Sunday of Advent 0:19 – “They shall see the Son of Man coming…” (Mt 24:30) 0:45 – God’s day of Justice 1:06 – A Day of Wrath: Prophet Sophonius 1:29 – Point I: Appearance of the Just & the Unjust 1:35 – Fire from Heaven and the Last Destruction 1:52 – Resurrection of the Dead 2:10 – Saints & Doctors on the Terror of Judgment 2:34 – Glorified Bodies vs. Bodies of the Damned 3:06 – Summoning to the Valley of Jehoshaphat 3:33 – Separation of the Just and the Wicked 3:59 – Heavenly Signs and the Cross of Christ 4:36 – The Coming of Christ in Majesty 4:55 – Agony of the Reprobate 5:37 – Point II: The Scrutiny of Conscience 6:14 – Judgment Sweet for the Just, Terrible for Sinners 6:43 – Saints Vindicated by God 7:04 – Worldly Pride vs. True Happiness 7:21 – No Mercy on Judgment Day for the Obstinate 8:06 – Accusers at the Judgment 8:48 – Witnesses Against the Wicked 9:34 – Hidden Crimes Revealed 10:16 – Point III: Sentence of the Elect & the Damned 10:46 – “Come, ye blessed of My Father…” 11:11 – Eternal Joy of the Saints 11:15 – “Depart from Me, you cursed…” 11:42 – Eternal Separation and Despair 12:14 – Final Exhortation: Seek Mercy Now 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Sensus Fidelium is your go to for sermons on the catholic church, faith, growing in holiness, study of the scriptures, anything and everything you need to be set on fire for the Lord and His Church. #Advent #CatholicSermon #JudgmentDay #EndTimes #SecondComing #CatholicTeaching #TraditionalCatholic #LastJudgment #GospelReflection #CatholicFaith #HeavenHell #Eschatology #PrepareTheWay
