All Saints' Day: There is No Sanctification Without Mortification ~ Fr Isaac Mary Relyea

About this sermon

Today Holy Mother Church exalts with exceeding joy as she contemplates the glory of her children who have reached their eternal home. In this powerful All Saints Day homily, we are reminded that Heaven is our true Fatherland — where the Saints rejoice forever in the presence of God. Father Isaac Rayburg delivers a stirring sermon on the uncompromising call to holiness, the necessity of mortification, prayer, and sacrifice, and the need to put God first above all worldly pleasures. Through vivid examples from Scripture, the lives of the Saints, and the wisdom of the Church Fathers, this homily challenges every soul to wake from spiritual slumber and live faithfully for eternity. 🙏 Learn how the Saints: Embraced the Cross with love and joy Practiced humility, renunciation, and mortification Trusted completely in God’s providence Found strength through the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces Reached the eternal reward promised to all who remain faithful This message will inspire you to read the lives of the Saints, examine your conscience, and live each day with Heaven in mind. 📖 “If such as these have attained to sanctity, why not I?” – St. Augustine 🕰️ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction – The joy of the Church on All Saints Day 0:44 The glory of Heaven and the call to holiness 2:00 The false comfort of the modern Church 3:10 The necessity of being challenged spiritually 4:20 The path of the Saints on Earth 5:00 Reading the lives of the Saints 6:00 The narrow road to salvation 7:00 Renouncing worldly attachments 8:00 Taking up your cross daily 9:00 The example of Christ’s suffering 10:00 Trials, persecution, and purification 11:00 Detachment from honors and pleasures 12:00 Humility and joy in poverty 13:30 St. John Vianney on earthly treasures 14:30 Mortification and self-discipline 16:00 The danger of gossip and detraction 17:30 Embracing the cross with love 18:00 The reward of Heaven and the example of the Saints 20:00 The hidden Saints – faithfulness in daily life 21:00 The effort required to become a Saint 22:00 God’s grace makes sanctity possible 23:30 Growing in virtue little by little 24:30 The Blessed Virgin Mary – Mediatrix of all graces 26:00 Devotion to the Saints and the Sacraments 27:00 Trust and love for Jesus above all things 28:00 Mental prayer and conversation with God 29:00 Love, not fear, as the path to Heaven 30:00 St. Bede on suffering and eternal reward 31:00 The reward of Heaven beyond all comparison Please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #AllSaintsDay #CatholicHomily #TraditionalCatholic #Holiness #BeASaint #CatholicSermon #Heaven #Salvation #CatholicFaith #Saints #MassHomily #Faith #CatholicChurch #Mortification #BlessedVirginMary #EternalLife #CatholicPreaching #CrossAndGlory #Sanctity #LoveOfJesus 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
