About this sermon
In this powerful reading from Matthew 6, Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us the true meaning of holiness: humility, hidden virtue, and total trust in God. He warns against practicing righteousness to be seen by others and calls us instead to live for our Heavenly Father alone. In this chapter, we receive: The right way to give alms How to pray in secret The sacred words of the Our Father (Lord’s Prayer) The proper spirit of fasting A warning against earthly attachments A command to trust God completely “Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God and His justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.” This teaching cuts directly against modern culture and calls us back to authentic Catholic living. ✝️ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Why hidden virtue is more powerful than public religion The true meaning of the Our Father How to overcome anxiety and trust Divine Providence Why you cannot serve both God and money The secret to peace in a restless world 🙏 CATHOLIC TRADITION & SPIRITUAL DEPTH This passage is foundational in Catholic spirituality, especially during Lent, where prayer, fasting, and almsgiving take center stage. 0:00 – Introduction 0:13 – Do Good in Secret (Almsgiving) 0:47 – How NOT to Pray (Hypocrisy) 1:07 – Pray in Secret 1:27 – The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) 1:59 – Forgiveness & Mercy 2:13 – Proper Fasting 2:45 – Store Treasures in Heaven 3:05 – Where Your Treasure Is 3:14 – The Eye: Light vs Darkness 3:32 – You Cannot Serve God and Mammon 3:42 – Do Not Worry About Your Life 4:00 – Birds of the Air (Trust God) 4:22 – Lilies of the Field 4:48 – Anxiety About Needs 5:06 – Seek First the Kingdom 5:21 – Do Not Worry About Tomorrow https://sensusfidelium.com/bible-catechesis/the-bible/gospel-of-st-matthew/gospel-of-st-matthew-chapter-6/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Sensus Fidelium is your go to for sermons on the catholic church, faith, growing in holiness, study of the scriptures, anything and everything you need to be set on fire for the Lord and His Church. #Catholic #BibleReading #Matthew6 #SermonOnTheMount #OurFather #TrustGod #DoNotWorry #ChristianFaith #CatholicTeaching #JesusChrist #Scripture #FaithOverFear #Lent #Prayer #Fasting #Almsgiving
