Quinquagesima Sunday: Delusions of Sinners ~ St. Alphonsus (Lord, That I May See)

About this sermon

On Quinquagesima Sunday, St. Alphonsus Liguori delivers a piercing warning about the delusions of sinners and the devil’s most dangerous strategy: “Sin now — confess later.” Preaching from Luke 18:41 — “Lord, that I may see” — St. Alphonsus explains how Satan blinds souls before leading them to eternal ruin. The devil does not tempt most people to despair — he tempts them with presumption. How many souls are lost not because they deny God’s mercy — but because they abuse it? In this powerful sermon, St. Alphonsus exposes: The illusion of “I will repent later” The danger of presuming upon God’s mercy The uncertainty of tomorrow The terrifying reality of sudden death in mortal sin The hardening of the heart through repeated sin The false belief that youth guarantees time The spiritual blindness caused by passion God’s patience — and its limits This sermon is especially fitting before Lent, as Holy Mother Church calls us to conversion before it is too late. St. Alphonsus reminds us: God is merciful — but He is not mocked. If you struggle with habitual sin, presumption, or spiritual blindness, this sermon is a wake-up call for the soul. Let us pray with the blind man: “Lord, that I may see.” 0:00 – Quinquagesima Sunday Introduction 0:21 – The Devil Blinds Before He Damns 1:00 – The First Delusion: “Confess Later” 1:40 – The Jewel of Your Soul 2:25 – True Contrition Is a Gift from God 2:53 – God Has Fixed the Number of Sins He Will Pardon 3:25 – When God Removes the Hedge (Isaiah 5:5) 4:03 – “I Cannot Resist This Passion” 4:24 – God Never Commands the Impossible (1 Cor 10:13) 5:05 – Ask and You Shall Receive (Matthew 7:7) 6:05 – The Uncertainty of Tomorrow 6:46 – The Illusion That Leads Thousands to Hell 7:12 – “But God Is Merciful” 8:01 – God Will Not Be Mocked (Galatians 6:7) 8:49 – Because God Has Spared You… Tremble 10:16 – “I May Still Be Saved” – The Folly of Perhaps 11:44 – Divine Threats Against Obstinate Sinners 12:14 – This May Be God’s Last Mercy https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
