Sexagesima: The Secret to 100-Fold Spiritual Fruit: Humility According to the Saints

About this sermon

“And some fell among thorns… and the thorns choked it.” In today’s Gospel reflection, we are reminded that the divine seed of grace is planted in every soul — but not every soul bears fruit. Why? Because pride chokes grace. As Lent approaches, this sermon explores: The Parable of the Seed and the Soil Why humility is the foundation of sanctity How pride and sensuality stunt spiritual growth The 12 Degrees of Humility from the Rule of St. Benedict Why humility humiliates the devil Teachings from St. Augustine, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and St. Vincent de Paul St. Augustine said there are three ways to reach perfection: Humility Humility Humility And if asked 100 times, he would give the same answer. This sermon is a powerful Lenten meditation on becoming “good ground” so that God’s grace may produce fruit a hundredfold. If you want: Stronger spiritual growth Freedom from scruples Victory over temptation Deeper contemplation Authentic Catholic masculinity rooted in virtue Then humility is the key. As Christ says: “Whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” 0:00 – The Seed That Fell Among Thorns 0:44 – Lent Is Approaching: Time for Spiritual Growth 1:46 – What Chokes the Divine Seed? 2:22 – Pride: The Enemy of Grace 2:43 – Why Humility Hurts (But Bears Fruit) 4:48 – St. Augustine: Three Ways to Perfection 5:39 – Dig Deep: The Foundation of Humility 6:16 – St. Teresa of Avila on Humility 6:52 – St. Alphonsus: Scruples and Subtle Pride 7:57 – Humility as a Weapon Against the Devil 9:16 – The 12 Degrees of Humility (St. Benedict) 10:34 – The Doctorate and the Toilets (Humility Story) 12:20 – The Final Degrees: Habitual Humility 13:29 – Why Contemplation Requires Humility 14:30 – “Whoever Humbleth Himself Shall Be Exalted” For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & 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.
