Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent – Do What They Say, Not What They Do

About this sermon

On this Tuesday of the Second Week of Lent, we reflect on Our Lord’s powerful words: “All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not according to their works.” (Matthew 23:3) In today’s Lenten meditation, we confront two great disorders that weaken the Word of God in our time: Hearers who judge the preacher instead of obeying the truth. Preachers who seek applause instead of conversion. Christ commands us to obey truth — even when those who preach it fail to live it perfectly. At the same time, He condemns cowardly shepherds who flatter vice and fear men more than God. This sermon is a fiery call to: Take preaching seriously Reject curiosity and entertainment in religion Demand truth, not flattery Pray for bold, apostolic preachers Become doers of the Word, not hearers only The pulpit is not a theater. The Word of God is not a performance. It is fire. It is a hammer. It is salvation — or condemnation. May this reflection deepen your Lent and purify your soul. 0:00 – Gospel: “Do What They Say, Not What They Do” 0:56 – The Hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees 1:44 – Two Disorders in the Church Today 2:39 – When Preachers Speak Falsehood 4:09 – Poisoning the Word of God 6:03 – Preaching Is of Divine Institution 8:41 – “He Who Hears You Hears Me” 9:12 – Listening to Sermons Like Songs 10:54 – Hearers vs. Doers of the Word 11:03 – Preachers Who Seek Applause 12:22 – The Danger of Flattering Vice 13:08 – Preachers as Trumpets, Not Flutes 14:30 – Apostolic Boldness vs. Polished Weakness 15:08 – The Mark of a True Sermon 15:30 – Prayer for Holy, Fearless Preachers To donate to the Church Restoration Project in Ireland please visit https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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...
