Saint Claude de la Colombière: The Sacred Heart, Jansenism, and True Confidence in God (15 February)

About this sermon

On the Novus Ordo calendar we commemorate Saint Claude de la Colombière, Jesuit priest, spiritual director to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, and one of the great apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In this sermon, we explore: The heroic martyrdom of Saints Faustinus and Jovita Why evil always backfires against God’s providence The heresy of Jansenism and its lingering effects in modern rigorism The difference between scrupulosity and authentic Catholic zeal Saint Claude’s incredible vow of mortification and obedience His profound prayer of total confidence in God’s mercy Saint Claude defended the Church against Jansenism — a movement that distorted grace, predestination, and God’s mercy. While rigorists leaned on fear and suspicion, he proclaimed the burning love of the Sacred Heart. He practiced severe personal mortification — yet trusted entirely in divine mercy. His famous prayer declares: “All my confidence lies in confidence itself.” In an age of anxiety, political upheaval, and fear, his message is simple: Try hard. Trust completely. Rest in God. Let us ask Saint Claude de la Colombière for courage, hope, and unwavering confidence in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
