Practical Piety of St. Francis de Sales: Chapter 16: Remedies: Temptations against Faith

About this sermon

June is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a month in which Holy Mother Church invites us to contemplate the infinite love of Christ and to deepen our love in return. In this powerful spiritual reading, St. Francis de Sales, the Doctor of Divine Love, offers practical wisdom for overcoming temptations against the faith. Rather than engaging in endless arguments with doubts and spiritual attacks, the saint teaches us to respond with acts of faith, confidence in God, and fidelity to Holy Mother Church. Drawing from Scripture and his profound spiritual insight, St. Francis de Sales reminds us that temptations are often opportunities for growth in virtue. Trials of faith, when endured with patience and perseverance, become the very means by which God crowns the soul with grace. As we honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus this June, may we learn to trust more deeply in God's love, remain steadfast in the faith, and persevere through every spiritual storm. "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (Luke 9:23) May the Sacred Heart of Jesus strengthen your faith and fill your soul with peace. 00:00 Introduction – Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 00:25 St. Francis de Sales on Temptations Against Faith 00:48 The Enemy Attacks the Intellect 01:04 Fight Temptation With the Will, Not Arguments 01:27 "Begone Satan" – The Saint's Spiritual Strategy 01:53 Why Eve Fell Through Disputation 02:02 Cling to Jesus and Holy Church 02:18 Defeating Doubts Through Acts of Faith 02:42 The Value of Moderate Penance 03:15 Blessed Is the Man Who Endures Temptation 03:31 Spiritual Growth Through Trials 03:39 After the Tempest Comes the Calm 03:56 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...
