7th Sunday After Pentecost: The Education of Children | Every Parent Must Hear ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

Every Catholic parent carries one of the greatest responsibilities entrusted by God: the formation of their children's souls. In this profound sermon for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori explains that parents are accountable before God not only for providing food and shelter, but even more importantly for leading their children to eternal salvation. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, and practical wisdom, St. Alphonsus teaches: • Why children imitate the example of their parents • The eternal consequences of neglecting religious education • The importance of teaching the Faith from childhood • Daily family prayer and the Rosary • The necessity of catechism, confession, and Holy Communion • Guarding children from bad companions and immoral influences • The duty of correction done with charity and prudence • Why parents must lead by holy example This timeless sermon remains remarkably relevant for Catholic families living in today's culture. "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit." May this sermon encourage every parent to renew the sacred mission entrusted to them by God. 00:00 Introduction — A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit 00:27 Why Parents Shape Their Children's Souls 01:50 A Parent's Two Greatest Duties 02:28 Education Determines a Child's Future 03:33 Children Reveal Their Parents 04:26 Parents Will Answer Before God 05:33 Worse Than an Infidel? 06:30 The Danger of Neglecting Children 07:43 Train Children While They Are Young 08:24 Discipline and Christian Formation 09:00 Teaching the Faith at Home 10:24 The Four Great Mysteries Every Child Must Know 12:01 Daily Catholic Family Prayer 13:25 Confession, Communion and Good Habits 14:08 Queen Blanche and St. Louis 14:51 Parents Teach Most by Example 17:07 The Power of Holy Living 18:00 Protect Children from Dangerous Influences 19:20 Guard the Home Against Sin 20:26 Protecting Sons and Daughters 21:30 Correcting Children with Charity 23:31 Final Exhortation to Parents https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
