Humility, Self-Worth & the Love of Self-Contempt | A Teaching on True Humility

About this sermon

“If anyone thinks themselves to be something, whereas he is nothing, he deceives himself.” (Galatians 6:3) In this powerful Catholic sermon, we explore the true meaning of humility, drawing from Sacred Scripture, the teachings of the Saints, and spiritual masters throughout history. 🔥 Key Highlights: Why St. Bernard of Clairvaux named humility, humility, humility the three most important virtues. The difference between humility and self-hatred — humility never robs us of our dignity as children of God. How our self-worth should be rooted in our relationship with Christ, not the world. The forgotten teaching on the love of self-contempt as explained by Father Joseph Ignatius Franchi and embraced by the Saints. Insights from St. Paul, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Mary Magdalen de’ Pazzi, Thomas à Kempis, and others. Why recognizing that we are “nothing” before God is the key to perfect humility and rapid growth in the spiritual life. 👑 Humility is not about hiding our gifts or despising ourselves. Instead, it is the joy of thinking of ourselves less, so that we may think only of Jesus Christ, who is “meek and humble of heart.” 🙏 May this sermon inspire you to embrace true humility, as practiced by the Saints, and to lead your children and family in the same path toward holiness. ⛪ Chapters (Timestamps) 0:00 – Introduction: St. Paul on true humility 0:40 – St. Bernard: The three virtues are humility, humility, humility 1:16 – What humility is not (self-hatred, self-neglect, or self-harm) 2:10 – Self-worth vs. spiritual dignity 4:40 – Christ’s perfect humility as model 6:04 – Introduction to the love of self-contempt 7:16 – St. Paul: “I am nothing” 9:00 – Comparing our nothingness to God’s greatness 9:54 – Sin places us even below nothingness 11:00 – Saints on self-contempt and humility 13:24 – Practical application for families and children 14:20 – Closing prayer to Our Lady For more on these religious & to support them, please visit https://papastronsay.blogspot.com/ #Catholic #Humility #CatholicSermon #CatholicTeaching #CatholicSaints #ChristianLife #CatholicVirtues #SelfWorthInChrist #SpiritualLife #CatholicHomily 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
