Scripture

• John 4:46–53

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon for the 20th Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect deeply on the Gospel account of Jesus healing the ruler’s dying son (John 4:46–53). This meditation invites us to grow in faith without seeing, just as the ruler believed Christ’s word before witnessing the miracle. Father explores the profound lesson that true faith blossoms not in signs or emotions, but in quiet trust and obedience to the Lord’s word. Through this Gospel, we are reminded of the humility, perseverance, and hope that lead us closer to Christ. 🙏 Themes Covered: The healing of the ruler’s son in Capernaum Faith without seeing The virtue of obedience and trust in God’s will The hidden miracles in everyday life The importance of perseverance in spiritual dryness 📖 Scriptural Reference: John 4:46–53 🎚 Liturgical Context: 20th Sunday After Pentecost 📅 Reflection Question: Do I believe in Christ’s promises even when I do not see the results immediately? 🕒 Timestamps 00:00 – In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost 00:32 – Introduction to the 20th Sunday after Pentecost 01:03 – Jesus’ journey through Samaria and Galilee 03:00 – The Roman ruler hears of Jesus’ miracles 04:30 – The ruler’s faith and his dying son 06:00 – Jesus tests the ruler’s faith 07:10 – “Unless you see signs and wonders, you do not believe” 08:06 – The ruler’s humble plea: “Lord, come down before my son dies” 09:06 – “Go thy way, thy son liveth” – faith without seeing 10:25 – Lessons in trust and obedience 11:40 – Believing in the dark night of the soul 13:30 – The ruler learns his son was healed at the seventh hour 14:30 – The connection between faith and miracle 15:45 – The ruler’s testimony and conversion of his household 16:50 – Reflection: How is my faith? 17:09 – Closing blessing: In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicHomily #TraditionalCatholic #SensusFidelium #FaithWithoutSeeing #GospelReflection #John4 #JesusMiracles #Capernaum #CatholicFaith #LectioDivina #TrustInGod #CatholicSermon #CatholicPreaching #GospelMeditation #20thSundayAfterPentecost 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
