Our Lady of Lourdes (11 February): Does Your Christianity Make Demands of You

About this sermon

On February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette in Lourdes and revealed a powerful truth: “I do not promise you happiness in this world, but in the next.” In this homily, we reflect on: The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes The meaning of the Beatitudes in Luke 6 The four blessings and four woes Why suffering is part of Christian discipleship The danger of wealth, comfort, and popularity How to truly follow Christ in daily life Jesus declares: “Blessed are you who are poor… hungry… weeping… persecuted.” And He warns: “Woe to you who are rich… full… laughing now… spoken well of.” Is Christ condemning wealth? Success? Comfort? No. He is warning us against attachment. Prosperity can blind us. Comfort can weaken us. Approval can corrupt us. The true disciple must: Take up his cross daily Make sacrifices Remain faithful Live the faith beyond Sunday Christianity is not about comfort. It is about holiness. True happiness is not found in this world — but in Heaven. If we remain faithful, the glory awaiting us is eternal. Let us ask Our Lady of Lourdes to help us seek lasting happiness — serving God alone. Praise be to Jesus and Mary, now and forever. 0:00 – Support Pro-Life Real Estate (Real Estate for Life) 0:22 – Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (Feb 11, 1858) 0:58 – “I Am the Immaculate Conception” 1:40 – “I Do Not Promise You Happiness in This World” 2:06 – The Beatitudes Explained (Luke 6) 3:39 – The Four Woes 4:42 – Is It Wrong to Be Rich? 5:51 – Are You Rich Toward God? 6:38 – The Danger of Attachment 7:35 – Be Ready to Suffer for Christ 8:06 – Take Up Your Cross Daily 9:01 – The Sacrifice of Sunday Mass 9:59 – Living Your Faith Beyond Sunday 11:28 – Daily Prayer & Commitment 12:19 – True Happiness in Serving God For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
