Easter Sunday: The TERRIFYING Truth About Relapsing Into Sin ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

Christ is risen… but have you truly risen from sin? In this powerful Easter sermon, St. Alphonsus Liguori delivers a sobering warning about the miserable state of relapsing sinners—those who confess their sins, only to fall back into them again. “Be not afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here.” (Mark 16:6) But this message comes with a serious challenge: 👉 It is not enough to begin a good life—you must persevere until the end. Drawing from Scripture and the teachings of the saints, this sermon reveals: Why relapse into sin is more dangerous than your past sins How the devil gains power over those who fall repeatedly Why confession without conversion leads to destruction The shocking consequences of habitual sin The ONLY way to persevere in grace This is a message every Catholic needs to hear—especially in the Easter season. ⚠️ If you struggle with repeated sin, this sermon may change your life. 🙏 Key Scriptures & Saints Featured: Matthew 24:13 – “He that shall persevere unto the end shall be saved” Luke 11:26 – “The last state becomes worse than the first” Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Him” St. Augustine, St. Jerome, St. Bernard, St. Thomas Aquinas 📿 Spiritual Takeaway: Do not trust in your own strength—pray, persevere, and never return to sin. 0:00 – “Be Not Afraid, He Is Risen” (Mark 16:6) 0:28 – Have you truly risen from sin this Easter? 0:43 – Few persevere to the end 1:01 – Prepare for temptation after confession 1:25 – The miserable state of relapsing sinners 1:46 – “Sin no more, lest worse happen” (John 5:14) 2:01 – Why relapse is worse than past sins 2:27 – The devil gains power over relapsing souls 2:59 – Our battle is against powers of hell 3:08 – Without grace, you cannot resist temptation 3:31 – Prayer is necessary for victory 3:59 – “Let him take heed lest he fall” 4:18 – The last state becomes worse than the first 4:53 – The devil hunts the faithful more fiercely 5:21 – The return of the unclean spirit 5:45 – Why relapse deeply offends God 6:28 – A warning to those who plan to confess later 6:45 – The example of Samson 7:20 – Loss of strength after relapse 7:35 – “No one who looks back is fit for heaven” 8:08 – Sin weakens the soul deeply 8:41 – Do not abuse God’s mercy 9:05 – False repentance vs true conversion 9:35 – Many repent but do not change 10:04 – The danger of habitual sin 10:47 – A terrifying story of a lost soul 11:30 – Is there hope for relapsing sinners? 11:48 – Violence is needed to overcome sin 12:03 – Daily spiritual discipline explained 12:50 – Prayer, Mass, Rosary, and confession 13:06 – Devotion to Mary for perseverance 13:33 – Ask daily for the gift of perseverance 13:53 – Blessed is the servant found faithful https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
