“Let Us Go and Die With Him!" – Mental Prayer, the Passion of Christ & the Holy Eucharist

About this sermon

In today’s powerful Catholic sermon, we reflect deeply on the words of St. Thomas the Apostle: “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.” (John 11:16) This meditation calls us to die to self with Christ, not only through martyrdom, but through daily self-denial, humility, obedience, and mental prayer, especially by contemplating Christ crucified. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, St. Paul, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Gertrude, and the Church’s rich devotional tradition, this sermon teaches that the Passion of Christ is the shortest and most fruitful path to perseverance and fulfillment in religious life. We explore: Why contemplating the Passion transforms the soul How mental prayer is the foundation of religious perseverance The profound meaning of Christ’s suffering and scourging The Holy Eucharist as the living continuation of Christ’s Passion How dying to self brings true joy, humility, and love Christ shed every drop of His Blood not out of necessity—but to leave us an unerasable proof of His infinite love, renewed daily in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This reflection is especially suited for: Religious sisters & seminarians Catholics seeking deeper mental prayer Those struggling with perseverance, trials, or dryness Advent & Christmas preparation through the Cross “Think diligently upon Him that endured such opposition from sinners… that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.” — Hebrews 12:3–4 0:00 – Opening Prayer & St. Thomas the Apostle 0:34 – Who Would Die for Another?
