About this sermon
A young man nearly lost his vocation to the world. Fashion. Vanity. Social life. Romantic novels. Comfort. He knew God was calling him — but he kept falling back asleep. Until Our Lady intervened. In this powerful story of Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother, we see the drama of vocation, the danger of spiritual sloth, the mercy of Mary, and the making of a true Catholic man. St. Gabriel Possenti was tempted repeatedly to abandon religious life. Twice he was miraculously healed from illness after promising to become a religious — and twice he delayed. Then came the gaze of Our Lady. “Why are you still in the world? You are not made for this world.” From that moment, everything changed. In just five years of religious life, he became a model of humility, Marian devotion, love of Christ Crucified, and heroic sanctity. He even faced down armed soldiers and defended the innocent. At his death, he endured demonic assaults — and conquered them through devotion to Jesus and Mary. This is not just a saint story. This is a warning to modern men. You were not made for this world. 0:00 – A Young Man Tempted to Abandon His Vocation 1:01 – Illness, a Promise to Our Lady, and a Broken Commitment 2:24 – The Gaze of Mary That Changed Everything 3:25 – Opposition from His Own Father 4:45 – Entering the Passionists: Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother 5:14 – Rapid Growth in Holiness 6:50 – The Armed Bandits and the Famous Lizard Shot 8:02 – Tuberculosis and Joyful Acceptance of Death 8:46 – Demonic Assaults at His Deathbed 10:21 – His Final Words: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph 11:07 – The Secret of His Sanctity 11:29 – Heroic Humility 13:05 – Devotion to the Passion of Christ 14:13 – The Master Key: Love for Our Lady of Sorrows 16:38 – What St. Gabriel Teaches Catholic Men Today For more please visit http://reginaprophetarum.org & 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
