Why Satan Hates the Catholic Family: The Decisive Battle Over Marriage and the Family

About this sermon

In this powerful and uncompromising sermon, we reflect on the Holy Family, the divine institution of marriage, and the spiritual battle raging over the family in our time. The Church teaches that the family—a man and a woman united in marriage with their children—is not a human invention, but a divine institution conceived in the mind of God. As Pope Benedict XVI taught, the family is an icon of the Holy Trinity, reflecting divine love and fruitfulness. Because the family is holy, it is under relentless attack. Drawing on Sacred Scripture, the warnings of Sister Lucia of Fatima, and the perennial moral theology of the Church, this sermon explains why the decisive battle between Christ and Satan is over marriage and the family, and why holiness—not anger or violence—is the ultimate defense. We are reminded that: Chaos in the family leads to chaos in society The nuclear family is the foundation of civilization Moral living is a way of being, not merely a list of rules Grace—not mere kindness—is necessary for true holiness Every family is called to imitate Christ and become holy This is a call to choose whom we will serve, echoing Joshua’s words: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” The world does not need vague slogans like “be nice.” It needs holy families. 📖 “The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God.” — St. Gregory of Nyssa 🔥 “Nothing pertaining to real holiness can be accomplished without grace.” — St. Augustine 00:00 – Opening Prayer 00:21 – Why the Family Is Under Spiritual Attack 01:18 – The Family as a Divine Institution 01:40 – The Family as an Icon of the Trinity 03:01 – Sister Lucia of Fatima’s Prophetic Warning 03:51 – Chaos in the Family, Chaos in Society 04:20 – A Christ-Centered Social Order 04:38 – “As for Me and My Household” (Joshua 24:15) 05:13 – Holiness: The True Defense Against Evil 06:18 – Why Holiness Is Feared by Satan 07:00 – The Moral Theology of the Church 07:55 – “Be Kind” vs. Be Holy 08:26 – The Universal Call to Holiness 09:16 – The Catholic Family Is Not Automatically Holy 09:54 – Moral Living as True Freedom 10:17 – “The Goal Is to Become Like God” 10:51 – Grace Is Necessary for Holiness 11:48 – Holiness Is Possible for Every Family 12:21 – Closing Prayer 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 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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...
