2nd Sunday after Easter: The Sin of Scandal Explained ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

In this powerful and sobering sermon for the Second Sunday after Easter, St. Alphonsus Liguori exposes the terrifying reality of scandal — the sin of leading others into sin. “The wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep…” (John 10:12) Scandal is not just personal sin — it is spiritual murder. Those who give scandal do not only risk their own souls, but drag others into hell. In this sermon, St. Alphonsus explains: What scandal truly is (according to St. Thomas Aquinas) Why scandal is so offensive to God The immense value of a single soul The severe punishments awaiting those who lead others into sin The urgent need for repentance and reparation This is a must-hear warning for parents, friends, influencers, and all Catholics living in a world filled with temptation and moral corruption. ⚠️ If you have ever influenced someone toward sin — even indirectly — this message is for you. 00:00 – Introduction: The Wolves Who Destroy Souls 00:21 – “Woe to the Man by Whom Scandal Comes” 00:49 – Purpose of the Sermon 01:05 – What is Scandal?
