Detachment, Holiness & Conforming to God’s Will | On the Last Sunday After Pentecost

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon for the 24th and last Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect deeply on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Colossians, the spiritual life, and the essential virtue of detachment. As the liturgical year comes to a close, the homily shifts our attention from final judgment to the foundational work of uniting our will to God’s holy will. Addressed especially to upcoming postulants preparing to receive the Miraculous Medal, yet applicable to all religious and lay faithful, this sermon explores: 🔹 The true meaning of Union with God 🔹 Why detachment from created things is essential 🔹 How St. Teresa of Avila & St. John of the Cross guide beginners in the spiritual life 🔹 The “pearl of great price” and the call to “sell all” (Mt 13:45–46) 🔹 Holy indifference, interior poverty, and mortification 🔹 The inspiring humility of St. Bernadette Soubirous 🔹 Why every joy or suffering must be referred to the glory of God 🔹 Living St. Paul’s command: “Whether you eat or drink, do all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31) This is an excellent meditation for anyone seeking deeper holiness, preparing for religious life, or renewing their spiritual foundations at the close of the liturgical year. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Opening prayer 00:22 – Theme introduction: Last Sunday after Pentecost 00:47 – Focus on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Colossians 01:36 – Words to the candidates entering postulancy 02:13 – The ABCs of the religious life 02:20 – The goal: Conforming our will to God’s will 03:12 – “He must increase; I must decrease” 04:17 – Detachment from created things 05:28 – St. Teresa of Avila & St. John of the Cross on detachment 05:25 – Parable of the pearl of great price 06:52 – Selling “all”: The meaning of total detachment 07:56 – Attachments: threads vs chains 08:59 – Practical examples of necessary comforts 09:14 – Enjoying lawful pleasures for the love of God 10:00 – Holy indifference: equal acceptance of joy & suffering 11:00 – Doing all for the glory of God 12:04 – Indifference prepares the soul for suffering and trials 13:09 – Calmness in misunderstandings 13:41 – Story of St. Bernadette & her superior 15:48 – Her humility and hidden sanctity 16:00 – Reflection from St. Teresa of Avila 17:15 – Closing 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.
