The Compassion of Christ | Raising the Widow’s Son at Nain

About this sermon

In this moving Gospel reflection, we witness two crowds meeting: one following Jesus after the healing of the centurion’s servant, and another mourning the death of a widow’s only son. With profound compassion, Christ steps in—not only to restore life, but to reveal the depth of His love and power. This homily unpacks: The encounter at Nain between joy and sorrow Christ’s visceral compassion (explosomai) for the suffering mother The meaning of touch, ritual, and physicality in our faith Why ritual and embodied worship are essential to encountering God The challenge of resisting hatred and clinging to Christ in times of trial Be reminded today that the Lord meets us not only in thought or spirit, but physically and sacramentally—through touch, ritual, and sacrament. Let us cling to Him and avoid the temptation of hatred, trusting in His saving power and compassion. 🙏 Glory be to Jesus Christ! 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 0:21 – Two crowds meet: disciples & mourners 1:03 – The widow’s grief and vulnerability 2:44 – Jesus’ initiative & compassion 3:52 – The meaning of “explosomai” (moved in the gut) 4:40 – Touch and ritual in the Gospel 6:04 – Avoid reducing faith to ideas—embrace ritual 7:45 – Leaning into worship during Great Lent 8:59 – Avoiding hatred & clinging to Christ 9:40 – Closing exhortation & trust in God For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCafdVqV_BA6BsF7bt38yRaQ & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Christian #Homily #GospelReflection #Jesus #Faith #Compassion #Luke7 #Christianity #Sermon #Orthodox #BibleStudy #TrustGod #ChristianFaith #GloryToJesusChrist 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
