4 Signs That Tell Us We Possess The Purity of intention of St. Scholastica by St. Alphonsus Liguori

About this sermon

On the great feast of Saint Scholastica, twin sister of Saint Benedict, we enter deeply into the Benedictine spiritual tradition and uncover one of the most essential virtues of the Christian life: purity of intention. Drawing from the Divine Office and the spiritual wisdom of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, this meditation reflects on how Saint Scholastica preserved her soul “like a watered garden, enriched with a ceaseless dew of heaven’s graces.” In a world filled with distractions, discouragement, and constant noise, how can we keep our hearts innocent, focused, and pleasing to God alone? You will learn: What purity of intention truly is Why God does not measure success as the world does The four spiritual signs that reveal whether our intentions are truly pure How to remain peaceful amid failure, obscurity, or lack of recognition Why devotion to Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary is essential for growth This reflection is especially powerful for: Religious and consecrated souls Benedictines and oblates Catholics seeking deeper interior life Anyone striving to live for God alone Let us ask, with Saint Scholastica, that the Lord may water the garden of our souls with His celestial graces — that we may think only what pleases Him and do only what pleases Him. 00:00 – Opening Prayer: In the Name of the Father 00:37 – Feast of Saint Scholastica 01:16 – “Like a Watered Garden”: Benedictine Divine Office 01:32 – Preserving Innocence in a Troubled World 02:04 – Purity of Intention: A Foundational Virtue 03:02 – The Tragedy of an Unlit Lamp 03:30 – What Is Purity of Intention? 04:06 – The Beautiful Battle for Christ 04:55 – St. Alphonsus Liguori Introduced 05:25 – The Four Signs of Pure Intention 06:02 – Sign #1: Peace in Failure 06:57 – Sign #2: Rejoicing in Others’ Success 07:47 – Sign #3: Accepting Providence 09:53 – Sign #4: No Need for Praise or Gratitude 10:36 – Why We Must Distrust Ourselves 10:56 – Devotion to Our Lord and Our Lady 11:23 – Communion Prayer with Saint Scholastica 12:01 – Closing Prayer For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
