Faith, Works, and the Wedding Garment | On Salvation, Grace & Charity

About this sermon

In this powerful Catholic sermon, we reflect on the parable of the wedding feast and the essential meaning of the wedding garment. The homily draws from Sacred Scripture, St. Paul, St. James, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Gregory the Great to reveal the harmony of faith and works in the Christian life. We explore: Why the Old Law was fulfilled in Christ. The error of “faith alone” and how it contrasts with Catholic teaching. The necessity of charity and good works to keep our baptismal garment pure. The final judgment and Christ’s words: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” This message is a call to conversion, perseverance, and holiness—living out the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and preparing for the coming of the Bridegroom. 🙏 Key Scripture References: Ephesians 4:24 – “Put on the new man…” Matthew 22:1–14 – Parable of the Wedding Feast Galatians 5:6 – “Faith working through charity” James 2:14–26 – “Faith without works is dead” 📖 Church Fathers & Saints Cited: St. Paul the Apostle St. James the Apostle St. Thomas Aquinas St. Gregory the Great 📌 Timestamps 0:00 – Opening prayer 0:23 – St. Paul: “Put on the new man” 1:36 – The parable of the wedding feast explained 2:39 – “Many are called, but few are chosen” 3:01 – Errors about the Old Law and salvation 4:02 – Protestant error of “faith alone” 5:11 – False interpretation of “works of the law” 7:22 – The fruits of faith and scandal of false doctrine 8:20 – St. Paul on “faith working in charity” 8:58 – St. James: “Faith without works is dead” 9:17 – Martin Luther’s rejection of the Epistle of James 10:12 – The meaning of the wedding garment 11:22 – Belonging to Christ by faith, hope, and charity 12:28 – St. Gregory the Great on true charity 13:36 – Judgment: works of mercy as proof of faith 14:14 – Call to holiness and perseverance For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #FaithAndWorks #CatholicHomily #GospelReflection #CatholicTeaching #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicFaith #Charity #CatholicChurch #Salvation 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
