Checklist for Sanctity. It is Doable!

About this sermon

How do we become saints—and what might be holding back our spiritual growth? This Catholic sermon examines the virtues of a holy life and challenges us to help others come closer to Christ. Beginning with an anecdote about St. John Vianney, the preacher explains the foundation of sanctity: keeping God’s commandments and remaining in a state of grace. He then reads a questionnaire presented as a guide for examining the lives of candidates for beatification and canonization. Its questions offer a practical examination of temperance, fortitude, justice, prudence, faith, hope, and charity. Do we forgive our enemies? Serve the sick and poor? Pray faithfully? Encourage others to trust God? The sermon also explores how confession and Holy Communion nourish the interior life—and why sharing the faith belongs to our own growth in holiness. Christ calls us to let His life bear fruit through our words, actions, and love of neighbor. Listen, reflect, and choose one virtue to practice more deliberately this week. 00:00 St. John Vianney and his “collection of relics” 00:51 The goal: become a saint 01:14 Commandments and the state of grace 01:44 Natural life and supernatural life 03:09 Introducing the questionnaire on holiness 04:34 The cardinal and theological virtues 04:49 Temperance: moderation and self-denial 05:56 Fortitude: perseverance in trials 06:43 Justice: giving others their due 07:57 Prudence: choosing what leads to heaven 08:40 Faith: devotion and spreading the Gospel 10:33 Hope: trusting God in adversity 11:58 Charity toward our neighbor 13:15 Charity toward God 14:40 Confidence in the call to holiness 15:04 Confession, Communion, and spiritual growth 17:21 What may be missing from our spiritual life? 18:00 Helping others grow in faith 19:03 Becoming Christ’s instruments 20:02 Are we sharing the gift we have received? 20:51 Take up your cross and reach out For more please go to http://www.veritascaritas.org/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Holiness #Sainthood #Virtues #FaithHopeCharity #JohnVianney #ChristianLife #ParishPriest #BeASaint #ServiceOthers 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
