Stir Up, O Lord, Our Wills | The Last Sunday After Pentecost – On the Four Last Things

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon for the Last Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on the profound words: “Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the wills of Thy faithful.” The Church traditionally called these the “Stir-Up Sundays”, inviting the faithful to meditate deeply on the Last Things—death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell—before entering the new liturgical year. Drawing from Matthew 24, this sermon explores Christ’s prophetic words about the destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the world, and His glorious Second Coming as Christ the Judge. You will hear an insightful explanation of: – The purpose of meditating on the end of the world – The particular judgment and general judgment – The resurrection of the body – The glorified body of the just and the fate of the wicked – The renewal of the world by fire – The true meaning of tragedy—and the eternal hope offered in Christ – How the faithful can prepare for eternity with confidence, prayer, and love 00:00 – Introduction: “Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord…” 00:35 – The meaning of Stir-Up Sundays 01:00 – Meditation on the end of the world 01:30 – Keeping eternity before our eyes 02:01 – Matthew 24 and Christ’s prophecy 02:50 – The disciples’ question about the end 03:03 – The two-fold meaning of Christ’s prophecy 04:00 – Introduction to the Four Last Things 05:01 – The Last Things of the individual soul 05:15 – Death and the particular judgment 05:30 – Eternal destiny: Heaven or Hell 06:02 – The Last Things of mankind 06:10 – Christ will come again in glory 06:40 – Christ the King and Christ the Judge 07:00 – The universal judgment 07:18 – Separation of the just and the wicked 07:39 – The unknown hour of Christ’s coming 08:01 – “Like a thief in the night” 08:21 – The resurrection of the dead 08:50 – Refuting reincarnation 09:37 – The glorified body of the just 10:29 – The unglorified bodies of the damned 11:19 – The destruction and renewal of the world 11:56 – The restored world of the just 12:39 – Encouragement: Why we meditate on the end 13:54 – The only true tragedy: dying in mortal sin 14:10 – The end of the world as a promise 14:29 – Consolation from the Book of Apocalypse 15:10 – “Behold, I make all things new.” 15:25 – Closing invocation For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
