Centurion Faith That Moves Heaven | or Being a Slave as St. Paul Warned

About this sermon

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever! On this Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on one of the most powerful displays of faith in all of Scripture: the faith of the Roman Centurion (Matthew 8:5–13). In today’s Gospel, we encounter a man who wasn’t a disciple, wasn’t Jewish, and was even part of the occupying army—yet he demonstrated a faith so great that even Jesus marveled at it. With deep humility, the centurion declared: “Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my servant will be healed.” This homily explores: ✨ The humility and boldness of the centurion’s faith ✨ What it means to live in obedience to Christ, as St. Paul teaches in the Epistle (Romans 6:18–23) ✨ The power of Christ’s word to heal, forgive, and transform our lives ✨ The urgent question: Whose voice do I obey in my daily life? We are reminded that we are always serving something—either sin that leads to death, or righteousness that leads to life. In Christ, we are set free not to do whatever we please, but to live as we were truly created: in holiness, obedience, and grace. 🙏 May our prayer today be: “Lord, only say the word, and I will follow. Only say the word, and I will be healed. Only say the word, and I will love, forgive, and arise again.” 📖 Scripture Readings: Gospel: Matthew 8:5–13 (Faith of the Centurion) Epistle: Romans 6:18–23 (Slaves of Righteousness, Servants of God) #Faith #Humility #Obedience #Healing #JesusChrist #GospelReflection #SundayHomily #Catholic #Orthodox #ChristianSermon #BibleStudy #CenturionFaith #WordOfGod For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@steliasbyzantinecatholicch5629 & 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.
