The One Thing Necessary: Loving God Above All | On Charity & Salvation

About this sermon

In this powerful Catholic sermon, discover the one thing truly necessary in life: to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the lives of the Saints, this homily reminds us that everything else—wealth, honor, or fame—fades away, but the love of God endures forever. 🙏 Topics Covered: The greatest commandment according to Christ (Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30). Why God is more noble, merciful, and loving than any created thing. The Cross as the ultimate proof of God’s love. The joy of union with God and the indwelling of the Trinity. Why true charity is the mother of all virtues. The necessity of faith, baptism, and remaining in the Catholic Church for salvation. A call to reject religious indifferentism and embrace the one true Faith. 🔥 Takeaway Message: To love God is to gain everything; to lose His friendship is to lose all. Let us live in His love, embrace His truth, and follow Him faithfully through the Cross to eternal life. ✝️ “He that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.” – 1 John 4:16 ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction & Sign of the Cross 0:20 – The One Thing Necessary: To Love God 1:00 – Why Love of God Surpasses All Earthly Riches & Honors 1:50 – God’s Power, Nobility, and Beauty Above All 2:30 – God’s Mercy & Readiness to Forgive Sinners 3:10 – The Cross as the Proof of God’s Infinite Love 4:00 – Saints’ Testimonies on Loving God (St. Bernard, St. Philip Neri, St. Francis de Sales) 5:00 – Love of God as the Treasure of the Soul 6:00 – Charity as the Mother of Virtues (St. Augustine, St. Catherine of Bologna) 7:00 – “Love and Do What You Will”: True Charity Leads Only to Good 7:40 – Without Charity, We Are Nothing (St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 13) 8:00 – Love Sweetens Suffering & The Joy of Carrying the Cross 9:00 – Faith in Christ & The Necessity of Baptism in the Catholic Church 9:45 – The Danger of Religious Indifferentism & False Religions 10:40 – God’s Desire for Conversion of All Souls 11:20 – Closing Exhortation & Final Blessing For more from this parish please visithttps://institute-christ-king.org/oakland-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Sermon #LoveOfGod #CatholicChurch #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicFaith #CatholicHomily #Christianity #CatholicTeaching #CatholicTruth #Salvation #Charity 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
