Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

Experience a reverent, traditional Catholic reflection for the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, drawing from Ephesians 3 and Luke 14. We explore the Church’s call to humility—“Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted”—and the consoling truth that God’s grace goes before us and follows after us, empowering good works and leading us into divine union. In this homily-style meditation you’ll hear: The Introit plea for mercy and the Col lect: “May Thy grace ever go before us and follow us…” St. Paul’s soaring vision (Eph 3:14–21): being rooted and grounded in charity, knowing the breadth, length, height, and depth of Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge. The Gospel (Lk 14:1–11): Christ heals on the Sabbath, unmasks our pride, and teaches the lowest seat that leads to heavenly exaltation. Practical paths to sanctity: fidelity to grace, interior humility, and daily charity that gives others precedence without affectation. A motherly exhortation from Holy Church in the Season after Pentecost: keep moving with the Spirit; let the liturgical year form your soul toward divine nuptials—Christ the Bridegroom, the Church His Bride. If this helped your prayer, please like, share, and subscribe. Comment your favorite line from Ephesians 3 or a moment where the Lord invited you to “go lower” so He could lift you higher.
