Humility and Charity – Lessons from Calvary

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. In this powerful homily, we reflect on the teachings of St. Francis de Sales and the virtues revealed at Calvary: obedience, poverty, chastity, charity, and especially humility. Discover why charity is the greatest divine virtue, yet humility is called the greatest human virtue. Learn how pride blinds us and humility opens us to God’s grace. Explore the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas on pride as “an excessive love of one’s own excellence.” Understand how humiliations, even from others, can become channels of grace leading us closer to Christ. Be inspired by the Litany of Humility and the importance of desiring the lowest place, so that one day we may hear: “Friend, go up higher. Enter into the joy of thy Lord.” This sermon reminds us that without Christ we can do nothing, and that the grace of final perseverance is a free gift of God. We are called not only to love our friends, but even those who humble us, for they help us strip away pride and embrace the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 🙏 To His Most Sacred Heart, the honor and glory forever.
