Wounds of Original Sin (Part IV): What Is Concupiscence? On Desire & Original Sin ~ Fr. Ripperger

About this sermon

What is concupiscence and how does it affect our daily lives? In this talk, we explore the Catholic teaching on concupiscence — the disordered desire for pleasure caused by original sin. Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas, the Fathers of the Church, and Scripture, the lecture explains how concupiscence manifests in immoderate desires for food, sex, wealth, and comfort, often leading us away from reason and virtue. You’ll learn: The meaning of concupiscence and its roots in original sin Why unchecked desire leads to deeper vice and “elation” (false confidence) The role of the lex fomitis (law of the flesh) in spiritual struggle How to fight concupiscence through temperance, fasting, mortification, chastity, and obedience Why moderation and discipline restore freedom, clarity, and dignity in Christ This talk offers a powerful reminder that true happiness is not found in pleasure itself, but in living a life governed by reason, virtue, and God’s grace. 👉 If you find this helpful, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more Catholic teachings on faith, virtue, and the spiritual life.
