The Road to Hell is Paved with Good and Bad Intentions

About this sermon

In this powerful Catholic sermon, we reflect on the well-known saying: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” While good intentions often guide our actions, they can also mislead us when influenced by pride, misplaced priorities, or lack of prudence. Drawing from Scripture—especially St. Paul’s writings to the Corinthians—this homily contrasts the Old Law of Moses with the New Covenant of grace in Jesus Christ. Where the Old Testament emphasized commandments and rituals, the New Testament lifts the veil from our hearts, granting us access to God’s grace as His adopted children. We are reminded that the moral law still stands, but no longer as a harsh set of rules. Instead, it becomes an invitation to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength—and to love our neighbor as ourselves. The Gospel of the Good Samaritan teaches us that our neighbor is not only our family or fellow believer, but also the outsider, the stranger, and even the enemy. To inherit eternal life, we must act with true Christian charity, seeing every person as God’s child, our brother or sister in Christ. This sermon calls us to reorder our priorities, embrace the sacraments, and live out the law of love daily—no matter how difficult—so that we may follow the road to eternal life and everlasting happiness with God. 🙏 Key Takeaways from this sermon: Good intentions alone are not enough; we need grace and prudence. The Old Law prepared for Christ, but lacked the fullness of grace. Through baptism and the sacraments, we are transformed into the image of Christ. Charity is the highest law: to love God and love our neighbor. Even those we dislike or consider “outsiders” are our neighbors in God’s eyes. 📌 Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 3 – The veil of the Old Law lifted in Christ Luke 10:25–37 – The Parable of the Good Samaritan Deuteronomy & Leviticus – Love of God and neighbor For more from this parish please visit https://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #CatholicSermon #CatholicHomily #GoodSamaritan #CatholicFaith #CatholicTeaching #LoveGod #LoveNeighbor #CatholicChurch #ChristianCharity #CatholicYouTube #TraditionalCatholic #GospelReflection 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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...
