After 40 Days: The Benedictine Secret to Seeking God This Lent

About this sermon

What if Lent wasn’t about small sacrifices… but about aggressively seeking God? On this feast connected with the Benedictine spirit, we are confronted with a powerful truth: God searches for us — but do we search for Him with the same intensity? Drawing from: The Rule of St. Benedict Blessed Columba Marmion St. Ambrose The life of St. Henry II (Holy Roman Emperor) The urgency of the 40 days of Lent This sermon challenges us to move beyond minimal Catholicism — beyond “giving up chocolate” — and instead cultivate a burning thirst to possess God. St. Benedict required that a postulant entering the monastery have one sign of a true vocation: 🔥 An ambition to possess God. Not comfort. Not status. Not recognition. Not personal preference. But God alone. “Christ in omnibus.” — Christ in all things. As we approach Easter, the message is clear: The angels are writing: “After 40.” Are you preparing for your mission? Are you increasing in faith and love — or remaining dim and faint? Lent is not about small external changes. It is about drawing near to God so intensely that everything else becomes dung in comparison (Philippians 3:8). This is the Benedictine way. This is the Catholic way. This is the way of the saints. 0:00 – Support Catholic Media: iCatholic Mobile 0:24 – “Lord, Thou Hast Searched Me” 0:38 – God Searches for Us 1:58 – Are We Searching for God with Intensity? 2:35 – Beyond Giving Up Chocolate 3:14 – Residing in the Heart of Christ 3:57 – Lectio Divina & All-Night Adoration 5:08 – St. Benedict’s Requirement: Ambition for God 6:58 – The Sure Sign of a Vocation 8:15 – Faith Has Degrees 9:34 – God is Near to Those Who Love Him 10:09 – St. Henry II and “After Six” 13:26 – Preparing for a Great Mission 14:24 – The Angels Write: “After 40” 15:01 – Bury the Hatchet in the Sacred Heart 15:35 – Sensus Fidelium & Martyrs Walk Fund 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.
