St. John Regis: How to Defeat Temptation: 4 Catholic Weapons Against the Devil

About this sermon

As we journey between Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and Corpus Christi, Catholics are called to prepare their souls for deeper union with Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. In this reflection, we explore the reality of temptation and the four essential dispositions every Catholic must cultivate to overcome the attacks of the devil: ✝️ Prompt resistance ✝️ Energetic rejection of temptation ✝️ Perseverance in spiritual combat ✝️ Deep humility before God Drawing from Sacred Scripture, St. Francis de Sales, St. Gertrude the Great, and traditional Catholic spirituality, this sermon offers practical guidance for overcoming temptations against faith, vocation, purity, duty, and holiness. Temptations are not signs of failure—they are opportunities for victory through grace. "Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent." (Ecclesiasticus 21:2) May this meditation help you prepare your soul for Corpus Christi and deepen your devotion to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. 00:00 Introduction & Feast of St. John Regis 00:49 Between Pentecost and Corpus Christi 01:26 Why Temptation Is Necessary for Holiness 02:14 The Most Difficult Temptations Christians Face 03:00 "Flee from Sin as from a Serpent" 04:04 Weapon #1: Resist Temptation Immediately 05:18 Weapon #2: Fight Temptation Energetically 06:41 Weapon #3: Persevere in Spiritual Combat 07:40 The Importance of Spiritual Direction 08:44 Weapon #4: Humility Defeats the Devil 09:21 Story of the Humble Seminary Rector 10:24 St. Francis de Sales on Spiritual Consolations 11:09 Preparing for Corpus Christi 11:17 Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great 11:54 Final Blessing 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.
