Since The Days Are Evil, What Must We Do | Redeeming the Time | St. Callistus & the Power of Prayer

About this sermon

In this powerful homily for the 20th Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on the words of St. Paul: “See how you walk circumspectly, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Father delivers a sobering yet uplifting message on the urgency of prayer, fasting, and sacrifice in our modern world. Drawing upon the intercession of St. Callistus and St. Teresa of Ávila, this sermon reminds us that consecrated souls are the lifeline of grace for the world — those who raise their hands in prayer to bring God’s mercy upon souls. Learn how our daily prayers, sacrifices, and devotion can help “redeem the time” in an age of confusion and moral darkness. Reflect on Exodus 17:11–16, where Moses’ raised hands brought victory — a symbol of perseverance in prayer and divine grace through sacrifice. 🙏 Key themes: The call to holiness through prayer and fasting Consecrated souls as distributors of God’s grace The importance of cloistered prayer in the Church Perseverance in spiritual warfare St. Callistus, St. Teresa of Ávila, and the Ember Days 📖 Scripture references: Ephesians 5:15–16 – “Redeeming the time because the days are evil.” Matthew 17:20 – “This kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.” Exodus 17:11–16 – The victory of Moses’ uplifted hands. 🕰️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction & Gospel Theme: “Redeeming the Time” 0:28 – Feast of St. Callistus & the Ember Days 1:10 – Feast of St. Teresa of Ávila 1:24 – The Days Are Evil: The Need for Consecrated Prayer 2:00 – Redemption Accomplished Through Christ 2:47 – Applying Grace to Souls: The Role of the Consecrated 3:12 – Supplication and the Power of Intercessory Prayer 4:10 – The Necessity of Prayer and Fasting (Matthew 17:20) 5:00 – The Role of Cloistered Nuns and Monks 6:01 – “See How You Walk Circumspectly” – Ephesians 5 6:20 – The Power of Prayer and Sacrifice 7:00 – Example from Exodus 17: Moses’ Uplifted Hands 8:38 – The Lord’s Victory Over Amalek 9:01 – St. Joseph’s Altar & The Flow of Divine Grace 9:24 – Closing Prayer and Blessing For more please visit http://reginaecclesiae.com/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicSermon #TraditionalCatholic #LatinMass #20thSundayAfterPentecost #RedeemingTheTime #PrayerAndFasting #StCallistus #StTeresaOfAvila #EmberDays #CatholicFaith #CatholicHomily #CatholicChurch #SavingSouls #GraceOfGod #SpiritualWarfare #ConsecratedLife #Ephesians5 #Matthew1720 #Exodus17 #CatholicPrayer 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
