3rd Sunday After Pentecost: God's Infinite Mercy Toward Sinners ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

St. Alphonsus Liguori delivers a profound meditation on the infinite mercy of God toward sinners. Drawing from Luke 15:7, "There shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance," this powerful sermon reveals how tirelessly God seeks lost souls, patiently waits for their return, and lovingly embraces every repentant sinner. In this sermon, St. Alphonsus explains: • Why God continually calls sinners to repentance • The meaning of the Parable of the Lost Sheep • God's patience despite repeated offenses • The role of suffering and trials in conversion • The immense value of sacramental confession • How divine mercy triumphs over human sinfulness • The joy in Heaven when one sinner returns to God This timeless Catholic sermon is especially relevant for anyone struggling with sin, discouragement, or fear of God's judgment. St. Alphonsus reminds us that God desires not the death of the sinner but that he should turn back and live. "If your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made white as snow." — Isaiah 1:18 May this sermon inspire you to return to Our Lord with confidence, trusting in His mercy and love. 00:00 Gospel Introduction – Joy in Heaven Over One Repentant Sinner 01:23 God's Mercy in Calling Sinners to Repentance 01:36 Adam After the Fall: God Seeks the Lost Soul 02:16 Preachers as Ambassadors of Christ 03:00 Interior Inspirations and Divine Warnings 03:48 Afflictions as Mercies from God 04:34 Return and Live: God's Plea to Sinners 05:11 The Father Pursuing His Lost Child 05:56 Christ Knocking at the Door of the Soul 06:23 Obstacles to Conversion 06:54 The Happiness Found in God's Grace 07:10 God's Patience in Waiting for Sinners 07:51 Why God Does Not Immediately Punish Sin 08:40 The Scandal of Persistent Sin 09:19 Divine Mercy Restrains Divine Justice 09:58 Why God Waits for Repentance 10:43 The Abuse of God's Patience 11:28 God Pursues Sinners Like a Loving Father 11:54 The Danger of Rejecting Mercy 12:01 The Good Shepherd Carries the Lost Sheep 12:20 The Prodigal Son and the Father's Embrace 12:45 God Forgets the Sins of the Repentant 13:06 "Though Your Sins Be Scarlet" 13:37 God's Glory Shown Through Mercy 14:01 Forgiveness Is Granted Immediately to the Contrite Soul 14:31 Final Exhortation to Seek God's Mercy https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ #Catholic #Sermon #GospelReflection #LukesGospel #Repentance #GodsMercy #Forgiveness #ProdigalSon #CatholicFaith #Homily 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
