The Offense God is Taking Today: God’s Glory, Our Reparation | What Sin Really Offends~Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

In this talk we unpack a core Thomistic insight: nothing we do changes God’s intrinsic glory—yet our sins do detract from His extrinsic glory, and that truly offends God. Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas, we explore non-mutual relation (God → creation), the effects of sin (habits, disorder, blindness of intellect), temporal punishment, confession, indulgences, purgatory, and concrete reparation—first for ourselves and our families, and then for the wider world. You’ll learn: The difference between God’s intrinsic and extrinsic glory Why creation manifests God’s excellence—and how sin injures that manifestation The distinction between formal sin (in the will) and objective disorder (its effects) Why “I’m sorry” isn’t enough: justice, restitution, and reparation How confession heals guilt but leaves effects we must repair Practical order of reparation: self → family → neighbors → Church → world Why frequent confession, indulgenced works, disciplined virtue, and spiritual warfare matter Why love for God moves us to make reparation for the offenses He suffers daily If this helped, please like, comment, and share.
