The City of God vs. the City of Man: A Warning for Our Times

About this sermon

In today’s powerful reflection, we explore St. Paul’s warning about those who “are enemies of the Cross of Christ,” and how this ancient message echoes loudly in our own times. Drawing from Philippians, the City of God by St. Augustine, the story of Joseph, the prophecy of Jeremiah, and the Miracles of Christ, this sermon unpacks the eternal conflict between the City of God and the city of man—a conflict that continues to shape our modern world. We reflect on society’s rejection of God, the rise of moral decay, and the great hope we have in Christ’s promise to restore, convert, and conquer all things in His time. Through the healing of the woman with the hemorrhage and the raising of Jairus’ daughter, we see a foreshadowing of the conversion of the Jews, the resurrection of souls, and the ultimate triumph of God’s grace. This message calls us to deeper conversion, detachment from the world, and renewed commitment to prayer—especially the Holy Rosary—as we face unprecedented challenges in our time. May this reflection strengthen your faith, deepen your hope, and inspire you to live as a true citizen of Heaven. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – St. Paul’s Warning: Enemies of the Cross 00:45 – City of Man vs. City of God 01:30 – Modern society’s moral decline 02:25 – Jeremiah’s prophecy & the seed of David 03:05 – Joseph as a type of Christ 04:09 – The future conversion of the Jews 05:01 – Misguided worldliness and forgetting Christ 05:14 – The miracle of the woman with the hemorrhage 06:00 – St. John Chrysostom on stolen miracles 06:57 – Jesus' knowledge and compassion 07:32 – The promise of glorified bodies 08:00 – Longing for Heaven in troubled times 08:11 – Jairus’ daughter and the power of faith 08:55 – False prophets ridiculing Christ 09:41 – Two miracles: Gentiles and Jews 10:41 – Don Guéranger on the Daughter of Zion 12:02 – Joseph’s reunion with his brethren 13:36 – Citizenship in Heaven & transformation in Christ 14:03 – Enemies of the Cross: fleeing sacrifice 15:03 – Transforming power of Christ’s miracles 15:13 – Veronica revealed as the healed woman 16:06 – The call to transformation in our lives 16:59 – The purification of the world 17:40 – Early Christian persecution vs. today 18:30 – Fatima, the Rosary, and the triumph of the City of God 18:55 – Final blessing For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ #CityOfGod #CatholicHomily #TraditionalCatholic #GospelReflection #CatholicSermon #EndTimes #Prophecy #FatimaMessage #HolyRosary #CatholicFaith #StAugustine #EnemiesOfTheCross #MiraclesOfChrist #JairusDaughter #Veronica #JosephInEgypt #CatholicTeaching #Conversion #JesusChrist #CatholicChurch 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
