About this sermon
Join us for Day 2 of the Novena for Purity in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor and champion of holy chastity. Today’s meditation focuses on gluttony and intemperance, the vices that often open the door to impurity. We reflect on the admirable temperance and abstinence of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the powerful means by which he overcame temptation. Our Lord fasted for forty days in the desert to teach us the spiritual power of fasting. St. Thomas imitated Christ through discipline, sacramental devotion, and love of divine truth — safeguarding his purity through abstinence and devotion to the Holy Eucharist. In this novena prayer, we ask for: Freedom from gluttony and lust The grace of self-mastery A deeper hunger for the Holy Eucharist Purity of thought, word, and deed Strength to live Catholic chastity in a fallen world We conclude with three Hail Marys in honor of Our Lady’s threefold purity and the beautiful Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas for Purity. If you are battling impurity, struggling with temptation, or seeking to grow in Catholic virtue during Lent, this novena is a powerful spiritual weapon. St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelic Doctor, pray for us. 0:00 Introduction 0:21 Day 2 – Discourse Against Gluttony 1:00 Christ’s 40-Day Fast in the Desert 1:16 St. Thomas’ Abstinence & Eucharistic Devotion 1:38 Prayer for Freedom from Gluttony & Lust 2:16 Three Hail Marys for Purity 3:15 Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas for Purity 4:05 Feast of St. Thomas & Church Restoration Announcement 4:47 Lenten Thoughts Series Announcement To donate to the Church Restoration Project in Ireland please visit https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
