Overcoming the Desire to Dominate

About this sermon

From the word Dominus (Latin for Lord) we get the word DOMINATE. The desire to have dominion is the temptation of the creature…to desire to be like the Creator… to be the Master and to Dominate others as well as something of creation. Eve wanted this and reached out to take the forbidden fruit under the spell of the devil’s words, “you shall be gods.” Occultists are forever seeking hidden powers of the universe… Children struggle often to submit to their parents or teachers and tend to assert themselves… and talk back. It is an old problem! Primordial! At the end of time, the Antichrist will rise up to finally become the Lord of the World. All the saints, however, learned it like this: conquer self on the inside and you will conquer the world on the outside. Man is a microcosmos of the macro-cosmos. Man is the thumbnail of creation. When man conquers himself on the inside, creation on the outside falls under his dominion. He commands the beasts and elements and they obey. This is how saints were able to work miracles with ease… they were dominating creation with God, having first dominated the world on the inside! Thus, in a word, he who conquers himself, conquers the world. He who dominates himself, dominates the world. Lent is the time to start renewing our efforts to dominate ourselves. Thus, St. Paul in the lesson today said: “every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself from all things… I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection.” For more please visit http://www.reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest ***Donations to Sensus Fidelium is 501(c)3 tax deductible*** 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
