Humility Through Humiliation? The Hard Truth of Christ’s Passion

About this sermon

On this Passiontide Sunday, we enter more deeply into the humiliations of Christ—who was accused, mocked, and even called possessed by the devil. But what does this mean for us? This powerful sermon explores a hard spiritual truth: 👉 You cannot become truly humble without humiliation. Drawing from St. Gregory the Great, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this reflection challenges modern Catholics to embrace not just humility—but the humiliations that produce it. As we approach Good Friday, we are invited to: Accept suffering with serenity Stand boldly for truth Desire not only virtue—but the cross that forms it 💡 “Many desire humility. Few desire humiliations.” Will you follow Christ even when it costs your pride? 00:00 – Opening prayer & Passiontide context 00:20 – “Thou art a Samaritan…” – The insult against Christ 00:47 – Why this was one of the worst insults in Jewish culture 01:15 – Christ’s coming humiliations 01:47 – St. Gregory the Great on humility and justice 02:16 – Preparing for Good Friday 02:55 – Christ responds boldly: “You are not of God” 03:25 – True humility vs false passivity 03:54 – Many want humility—but not humiliation 04:40 – The necessity of humiliation for holiness 04:53 – St. Teresa of Avila: “Humility is truth” 05:25 – Why we actually deserve humiliation 06:02 – The role of prayer in forming humility 06:46 – Why humiliations bear spiritual fruit 07:30 – St. Teresa’s radical humility prayer 08:19 – St. Thérèse: Trusting Christ completely 09:11 – The Irish church window analogy 10:30 – The “plain window” and hidden beauty 11:35 – Embracing our littleness before God 12:08 – Final exhortation for Passiontide For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest https://www.youtube.com/@realkingdude 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
