The Remorse of the Damned – Sermon on the 3rd Sunday After Epiphany ~ St. Alphonsus

About this sermon

“The children of the Kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12) In this powerful and sobering sermon for the 3rd Sunday After Epiphany, St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori reflects on the remorse of the damned, explaining the terrifying reality of eternal regret, loss of God, and the gnawing worm of conscience that afflicts souls in Hell. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, and vivid examples from the saints, St. Alphonsus identifies three principal remorses suffered by a damned Christian: 1️⃣ The remorse of knowing how little was required to be saved 2️⃣ The remorse of losing one’s soul for trifles and fleeting pleasures 3️⃣ The remorse of having lost God and Paradise through one’s own fault This sermon warns that many born within the Church will be lost, while many born outside of it will be saved — not by presumption, but by faith, humility, repentance, and perseverance. ⚠️ This is not a sermon meant to despair — but to awaken, to convert, and to preserve souls from eternal ruin. 👉 “Remember Hell, and you will not sin.” 👉 Have recourse to Jesus Christ and to the Most Holy Virgin Mary. 00:00 – Gospel of the Day: Matthew 8:12 00:59 – The Faith of the Roman Centurion 01:15 – Many Saved, Many Lost Within the Church 01:32 – Introduction: The Remorse of the Damned 01:53 – First Remorse: How Little Was Required to Be Saved 02:31 – “They Are Damned for Nothing” – St. Thomas Aquinas 03:12 – Gifts, Graces, and Lost Opportunities 04:22 – “The Harvest Is Passed” (Jeremiah 8:20) 05:20 – Second Remorse: Lost for Trifles 05:26 – Jonathan and the Taste of Honey (1 Kings 14) 06:13 – Esau and the Sale of His Birthright 07:03 – Eternity Begins… and Never Ends 07:31 – “What Hath Pride Profited Us?” (Wisdom 5) 08:02 – Third Remorse: The Loss of God 08:36 – “The Greatest Pain of Hell Is the Loss of God” 09:10 – St. Teresa on Losing God Through One’s Own Fault 09:55 – “We Have Erred” – The Cry of the Damned 10:40 – “I Will Set Thee Before Thy Face” (Psalm 49) 10:45 – Final Exhortation: Remember Hell, Flee Sin 11:07 – Refuge in Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-sermons-for-every-sunday-of-the-year/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
