4th Sunday after Easter: On Obedience to Your Confessor ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

In this powerful traditional Catholic sermon, we explore a crucial question for every soul: “Whither goest thou?” Are you truly on the path to Heaven—or unknowingly walking toward destruction? Drawing from Sacred Scripture and the wisdom of the saints, this sermon reveals the absolute necessity of obedience to your confessor as the surest path to salvation. Many believe holiness consists in prayer, penance, or devotions—but the saints teach something deeper: true sanctity is found in perfect obedience to the will of God. And how do we know God's will? 👉 Through obedience to His appointed ministers. “He that heareth you, heareth Me.” (Luke 10:16) This sermon explains: Why obedience is more pleasing to God than sacrifice How self-will leads souls to hell The danger of rejecting spiritual guidance How the devil deceives even the devout Why disobedience to your confessor is disobedience to Christ If you desire salvation, this message is not optional—it is essential. ⚠️ A sobering warning and a hopeful path forward for every Catholic soul. 00:00 – Introduction: “Whither Goest Thou?” 00:23 – Faith Without Works Leads to Destruction 00:50 – You Cannot Reach Heaven on the Wrong Path 01:05 – The Role of a Confessor in Salvation 01:26 – “He That Heareth You, Heareth Me” 01:46 – Two Paths: Obedience vs Disobedience 02:03 – What True Sanctity Really Is 03:12 – Sanctity = Doing the Will of God 03:21 – The Danger of Self-Will 03:56 – Obedience as the Sure Way to Know God’s Will 04:30 – Saints on Obedience (St. Teresa, St. Francis de Sales) 05:01 – Obedience Is Greater Than Sacrifice 05:28 – Giving Your Will Completely to God 06:00 – Why You Should Fear Nothing in Obedience 06:32 – Obey Without Excuses or Complaints 06:56 – Judgment Day: Answering for Obedience 07:26 – Obeying as If God Himself Commands 08:28 – Obedience Conquers the Devil 09:01 – Mortifying Self-Will Destroys Sin 09:38 – The Devil’s Tricks Against the Devout 10:17 – Overcoming Scruples Through Obedience 11:05 – “The Obedient Soul Has Never Been Lost” 11:30 – The Danger of Disobedience Begins 12:17 – When You Resist Your Confessor 12:31 – A Soul Without Guidance Is Lost 13:08 – Walking Among Snares Without Direction 13:39 – The Need for a Spiritual Guide 14:18 – He Who Directs Himself Is His Own Devil 14:48 – Disobedience = Idolatry of Self-Will 15:12 – Final Exhortation: Obey to Save Your Soul https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ #Catholic #Sermon #Homily #Obedience #Confession #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #CatholicTeaching #CatholicSermons #SpiritualDirection #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicHomily 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
