Septuagesima Sunday: On the Importance of Salvation ~ St Alphonsus

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon on the importance of salvation, we reflect on Matthew 22 and the vineyard of the Lord. The soul is the greatest gift God has entrusted to us, and its salvation is our highest duty. Christians often profess belief in death, judgment, heaven, and hell, yet live as though these eternal truths are not real. St. Paul, St. Bernard, St. Augustine, and many other saints remind us that if the soul is lost, all is lost — and once lost, it is lost forever. This message challenges us to examine whether we are laboring more for the fleeting goods of this world than for eternal life. Salvation is not optional; it is the one thing necessary. As St. Ignatius asked St. Francis Xavier: “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26). 🔥 Key Themes in This Sermon: Why salvation is the most important affair of our lives The eternal consequences of neglecting the soul The wisdom of the saints on preparing for eternity Heaven vs. Hell: the eternal choice before every soul Living each day with eternity in mind 🙏 May this message stir your heart to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, remembering always that one soul, one eternity, is at stake. 📌 Chapters (Timestamps) 0:00 – Introduction: Matthew 22 & the vineyard of the soul 1:10 – Why the soul matters more than the world 3:20 – The value of your soul in God’s eyes 5:00 – The danger of neglecting salvation 7:00 – Stories of saints who chose eternity 9:20 – If the soul is lost, all is lost forever 11:30 – St. Teresa: “One soul, one eternity” 12:50 – How to labor for salvation daily 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.
