Don't Settle for a Comfortable Lent: The Great Fast Is Spiritual Warfare ⚔️

About this sermon

To Christ be glory forever! We’ve completed the first week of the Great Fast. Some of us started strong. Others are already feeling the weight. And maybe some haven’t even begun, telling themselves, “I’ll get serious later.” But today — on the Sunday of Orthodoxy — we remember something powerful: The Triumph of the True Faith. The victory of Christ. The restoration of the holy icons. The Unseen God became visible in Jesus Christ. He took on our human nature so that we might be restored in His Divine Image. But here is the question: What image of Christ are we showing the world? Are we reflecting His love, humility, and patience? Or pride, anger, impatience, and selfishness? Fasting, prayer, and almsgiving are not religious checkboxes. They are weapons. The Great Fast is not about food. It is about transformation. It is spiritual warfare. If we stop eating meat but devour our neighbor with our words, we are not fasting. If we pray but refuse to forgive, our prayers are empty. We are not walking casually toward Pascha. We are marching into battle. Let us fight the good fight. Let us strive for holiness. Let us press forward to the joy of the Resurrection. Christ is victorious. Now the question is — will we fight? 0:00 – To Christ Be Glory Forever 0:25 – One Week Into the Great Fast 1:17 – The Sunday of Orthodoxy & The Triumph of the True Faith 2:00 – What Image of Christ Are You Showing? 2:30 – Fasting Is Not Just About Food 3:04 – If You Devour Your Neighbor, You Are Not Fasting 3:36 – Don’t Settle for Comfortable Lent 4:02 – We Are Marching Into Battle 4:12 – The Great Fast Is Spiritual Warfare 4:43 – Tasting Christ’s Victory at Pascha 5:01 – Are You Striving? 5:24 – Pick Up Your Weapons: Prayer, Fasting, Love 5:36 – Press Forward to the Resurrection 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.
