Novena for Purity with St. Thomas Aquinas – Day 3 | Overcoming Idleness & Sloth

About this sermon

Day 3 of the Novena for Purity in Honor of St. Thomas Aquinas focuses on overcoming idleness and sloth, two powerful gateways to the sin of lust. The Angelic Doctor teaches us not only through his writings, but through his tireless zeal for the honor of God and the salvation of souls. Sloth weakens the soul. Idleness invites temptation. But vigilance, discipline, and dedication strengthen the virtue of chastity. In this third day of the novena, we ask God to banish spiritual laziness from our lives and to imprint upon our hearts a holy zeal — the same fervor that allowed St. Thomas Aquinas to safeguard the precious virtue of purity. If you are striving to overcome lust, impurity, or spiritual apathy, pray this novena with sincerity and perseverance. “Banish from my soul the deadly idleness that inclines one toward the vice of lust.” 🙏 Stay to the end for: Three Hail Marys in honor of Our Lady’s threefold purity The Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas for Purity Announcement regarding the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas May this novena strengthen your resolve, discipline your mind, and purify your heart. 0:00 Introduction – Novena for Purity in Honor of St. Thomas Aquinas 0:21 Day 3: Idleness and Sloth vs Zeal and Vigilance 0:52 Opening Prayer – Sovereign Spirit, Eternal God 2:10 Three Hail Marys (Threefold Purity of Our Lady) 3:10 Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas for Purity 4:00 Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas Announcement 4:41 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...
