The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit | True Christian Stewardship & Spiritual Warfare

About this sermon

In today’s powerful Catholic sermon, we enter the epic spiritual battle between the flesh and the spirit. Drawing from Colossians Chapter 3, the Gospel, and sacred tradition, we are reminded that our true treasure is not on earth but in heaven, where Christ reigns at the right hand of the Father. This reflection challenges us to ask hard questions: Where is your heart? What do you spend your time on? What are your idols and preoccupations? The homily explores the parable of the unjust steward, revealing that every soul has been entrusted with gifts of nature and grace—and that God will demand a strict accounting. We are warned against the lure of mammon, riches that so easily lead to injustice, excess, and spiritual blindness. Through the heroic witness of St. Lawrence the Deacon, who declared the poor as the true treasures of the Church, we learn what authentic Christian stewardship looks like. And finally, we gaze upon the perfect steward: Our Blessed Mother, who remained faithful at the foot of the Cross, magnifying the Lord in every instant of her life. This sermon is a call to: Renounce the way of the flesh Embrace the way of the spirit Sanctify your state of life Live generously for eternity No one enters paradise from a comfortable couch. The road to heaven passes through the Cross, and through the sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary. 👉 If this message strengthened your faith, like, share, and subscribe to help spread the truth of Christ in a world that desperately needs it. 0:00 Opening Prayer & Holy Names 0:52 The Battle Between Flesh and Spirit 1:13 Set Your Mind on Things Above (Colossians 3) 1:48 Where Is Your Heart? 2:02 Idols, Time, and Preoccupations 2:43 Zeal for God vs Zeal for the World 3:17 Fulton Sheen and the Zeal of Error 3:53 The Parable of the Steward Explained 4:08 Gifts of Nature and Grace 4:35 The Danger of Mammon 5:01 Sanctifying Your State of Life 5:38 Treasures of the Church 5:55 St. Lawrence and the True Riches 7:22 “These Are the Treasures of the Church” 7:56 The Perfect Steward Revealed 8:18 Mary at the Foot of the Cross 9:13 Living by the Spirit Comes at a Cost 9:42 The Price of the Cross 10:08 Rendering Our Stewardship to God 10:26 Closing Prayer & Blessing For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
