Practical Piety of St. Francis de Sales: Chapter 11: Learning Holy Humility and Charity

About this sermon

Dear friends, during the Month of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us reflect upon the infinite love God has for us and the love we ought to return to Him. In this reading from St. Francis de Sales, the Doctor of Divine Love presents powerful examples from the lives of the saints who practiced extraordinary humility, charity, obedience, and holy condescension toward their neighbors. We hear of St. Aunom, who willingly yielded to the wishes of others in all things not contrary to God's law; St. Pambo, who humbly accepted correction from a child; and St. Gertrude, who embraced obedience to her superior with simplicity and trust. Through these examples, St. Francis de Sales teaches that true holiness is found not in seeking our own way, but in lovingly submitting ourselves to God through humility, charity, and obedience. As we honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus, may we learn to imitate His meekness, gentleness, and self-giving love. "Unless you become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." May these timeless lessons inspire us to seek God's will above our own and to grow in the virtues that lead souls to sanctity. 00:00 Introduction – Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 00:25 St. Francis de Sales: Examples on Holy Condescension 00:39 Example of St. Aunom and Charity Toward Others 01:42 Why St. Aunom Submitted to the Wishes of Others 02:46 Charity, Union, and Becoming Like Little Children 03:59 Yielding in Things Indifferent 04:08 Example of St. Pambo and Humility Before a Child 04:50 Humility Over Personal Preference 05:24 The Spiritual Benefit of Yielding to Others 05:33 Example of St. Gertrude and Holy Obedience 06:06 Finding Christ Through Obedience 06:22 Revelation Concerning St. Gertrude's Heart 06:38 Final Exhortation and Blessing To donate to the Church Restoration Project in Ireland please visit https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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...
