Practical Piety of St. Francis de Sales: Chapter 7: Abandon to Providence

About this sermon

As we enter the Month of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us meditate upon God's infinite love for us and our response to that love through complete trust and surrender to His holy will. In this powerful spiritual reading from the writings of St. Francis de Sales, Doctor of the Church and Doctor of Divine Love, we learn what it truly means to abandon ourselves into the hands of Divine Providence. St. Francis teaches that genuine abandonment consists in surrendering our own will to God, accepting both consolation and affliction, health and sickness, riches and poverty, honor and contempt, according to God's holy pleasure. Such abandonment is not passivity but a loving conformity to God's expressed will and His providential designs. This timeless Catholic meditation is especially fitting during June, the Month of the Sacred Heart, as we contemplate the burning love of Christ and seek to return that love through confidence, trust, and fidelity. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus teach us to say with the saints: "Thy will be done." St. Francis de Sales, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction – Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 00:25 St. Francis de Sales on Abandonment to Divine Providence 01:03 Giving Our Will Entirely to God 02:07 Perfect Resignation to God's Providence 03:14 The Expressed Will of God and His Good Pleasure 04:05 Accepting God's Providence in Daily Life 04:44 Illness, Remedies, and Trust in God 05:32 The Soul Completely Abandoned to God 06:13 Choosing God's Will Above All Things 06:36 The Saints and Perfect Union with God's Will 06:52 Spiritual Dryness, Temptations, and Trust 07:08 Conclusion and Prayer to St. Francis de Sales 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...
