St. Francis, Indulgences, and the True Intentions of the Holy Father | Pilgrimage Sermon

About this sermon

🙏 In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen. In this powerful sermon delivered during a pilgrimage, we explore the meaning and history of indulgences, the intentions of the Holy Father, and how St. Francis of Assisi transformed the Church’s understanding of grace and spiritual renewal. Discover how St. Francis secured the first plenary indulgence open to all — the Portiuncula Indulgence — and what it truly means to “pray for the intentions of the Pope.” Learn the boundaries of papal intention, the dangers of syncretism, and why the saints conquered themselves within before conquering the world without. 🔥 This reflection brings clarity to misunderstood devotions and reminds us that true pilgrimage is not just about travel, but about conversion, prayer, and faith. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction & Invocation 0:08 – The Purpose of Pilgrimage and Indulgences 0:26 – How St. Francis Secured the First Plenary Indulgence 1:01 – Before St. Francis: Indulgences and the Crusades 1:19 – Visiting Churches and Praying for Indulgences 1:26 – Requirements for Indulgences 1:33 – Praying for the Intentions of the Holy Father 2:00 – Addressing Concerns About Modern Papal Intentions 2:36 – The Boundaries of Law and Divine Intention 3:02 – Are Papal Intentions Unlimited? 3:37 – Explanation from Bishop Morrow’s My Catholic Faith 4:06 – The Traditional Intentions of the Holy Father 5:06 – How to Safely Pray for the Pope’s Holy Intentions 5:48 – St. Francis and Conquering the Interior Life 6:33 – Miracles of the Saints: Levitation, Bilocation, and More 7:19 – The Power of Interior Conquest 7:51 – St. Francis and the Misuse of “Love of Nature” 8:50 – Creation vs. Creator: The Vertical and Horizontal 9:34 – God’s Control Over Creation and the Dangers of Environmental Idolatry 10:43 – Final Encouragement: Gaining Plenary Indulgences 10:57 – Closing Blessing For more please visit http://reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest In 1219, the sultan Malik al-Kamil received St. Francis of Assisi in Damietta and posed to him a question: “Your Lord teaches in the Gospels that you should not return evil for evil nor refuse your mantle to someone who wants to take your tunic. Therefore, you Christians should not invade our lands.” To which the Blessed Francis replied: “I think you have not read the whole Gospel. Elsewhere, indeed, it is said: ‘If you eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you.’ With that Jesus wanted to teach us that when a man has a relative, however beloved he must be, even if he was as dear as the apple of our eyes, if he tempted us to turn away from the faith and love of our God we should be resolved to separate, alienate and eradicate him from us. For all this, Christians act according to justice when they invade your lands and fight you, for you blaspheme the name of Christ and fight to take away from His religion as many as you can. However, if you want to know, confess and worship the Creator and Redeemer of the world, I will love you as myself.’ All those present were taken with admiration by his response (Fonti Francescane, 3rd Section, Altre Testimonianze Francescane, N° 2691, as quoted in Crusade Magazine, May/June 2015, p. 9). #StFrancisOfAssisi #CatholicFaith #Indulgence #PlenaryIndulgence #CatholicSermon #TraditionalCatholic #HolyFather #CatholicChurch #Franciscan #Pilgrimage #CatholicTeaching #MyCatholicFaith #CatholicHomily #TraditionalMass #CatholicDoctrine #FaithAndReason #CatholicPrayer #CatholicTruth #DivineLaw #Catholicism 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
