St. Benedict vs Aleister Crowley: Two Laws, One Soul (Catholic Truth Explained)

About this sermon

In today’s reflection, we honor St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, and explore his powerful teaching on humility—especially his warning to not love our own will. This teaching stands in stark contrast to the infamous occult maxim of Aleister Crowley: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” But what does the Gospel teach? From Our Lady’s fiat—“Be it done unto me according to Thy word”—to Christ in the Garden—“Not my will, but Thine be done”—the Christian life is about surrendering our will to God.
