The Immaculate Heart of Mary & The Path to Eternal Life | Faith, Hope & Charity

About this sermon

On the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, the Church asks Almighty God for an increase of the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity. These virtues, infused into the soul at Baptism, enable us to live as children of God and direct our lives toward eternal salvation. But what happens when mortal sin enters the soul? Father uses a memorable analogy: venial sin is like a minor breakdown that slows the journey, while mortal sin brings the spiritual journey to a halt. We cannot repair that condition by ourselves—we need the grace of God, ordinarily restored through the Sacrament of Confession. The danger is not merely falling. The greater danger can be delaying our return, becoming comfortable in spiritual lukewarmness, attending Mass from a distance while putting off reconciliation with God. On the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are reminded of the remedy: humility, confession, prayer, the Rosary, and continual recourse to Our Lady. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph over our negligence and teach us to persevere in faith, hope, charity, and sanctifying grace. 00:00 Increase Our Faith, Hope & Charity 00:27 13th Sunday After Pentecost 00:36 The Three Theological Virtues 01:06 Faith, Hope & Charity Given at Baptism 01:38 What Is Faith? 01:45 What Is Hope? 01:52 What Is Charity? 02:11 Our Relationship With the Holy Trinity 02:42 Why Christ Came Into the World 02:50 “I Have Come That They May Have Life” 02:58 The Treasure of Sanctifying Grace 03:14 What Makes a Sin Mortal? 03:47 Mortal Sin Is Not the End 04:11 The Car Breakdown Analogy 04:59 Venial Sin vs. Mortal Sin 05:24 Why We Cannot Repair Mortal Sin Ourselves 05:42 Grace Restored Through Confession 05:57 Perfect Contrition 06:07 Why Catholics Delay Confession 07:10 The Danger of Spiritual Delay 07:42 Taking Salvation for Granted 08:12 Can We Grow in Virtue While in Mortal Sin? 08:44 The Remedy for the Soul 09:00 Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary 09:16 Never Let a Day Pass Without Prayer 09:33 Our Lady’s Triumph Over Lukewarmness 10:12 Take Refuge in the Immaculate Heart 10:22 Persevere in Faith, Hope & Charity 10:37 Final Prayer #MortalSin #Confession #CatholicFaith #ImmaculateHeartOfMary #FaithHopeCharity #Catholic #CatholicSermon #SanctifyingGrace #SacramentOfPenance #CatholicTeaching #Rosary #OurLady #TraditionalCatholic #Salvation #SensusFidelium For more on the ICKSP parishes in Ireland, & to donate to them, please click here https://institute-christ-king.ie/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
