Your Sins Are Forgiven – The Power of Christ’s Mercy

About this sermon

In this powerful homily for the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on the Gospel account of the healing of the paralytic, where Jesus speaks the life-changing words: “Courage, my son, your sins are forgiven.” Fr. explains that spiritual healing is greater than physical healing — because the forgiveness of sins cost the precious Blood of Christ on the Cross. Every time we receive absolution in the Sacrament of Confession, we experience the same saving power that flowed from Calvary. This sermon challenges our modern world’s materialism and invites us to rediscover the importance of repentance, humility, and faith in the Divine Mercy. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, continues to heal souls today through the priesthood He established. 🙏 Main themes covered: The 18th Sunday after Pentecost – meaning and reflection The Gospel of the healing of the paralytic (Matthew 9:1-8) Why the forgiveness of sins is the greatest miracle Understanding the Sacrament of Confession (Penance) The unity of physical and spiritual healing Why true faith requires humility before God 💡 Takeaway: To hear the words “Your sins are forgiven” is the greatest grace we can receive — because it cost Christ His Passion and death for our salvation. 🕊️ Scripture Reference: Matthew 9:1-8 — “That you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.” ⏰ Timestamps 0:00 – In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit 0:23 – Introduction: The 18th Sunday after Pentecost 0:48 – The paralytic man brought before Jesus 1:12 – “Courage, my son, your sins are forgiven” 1:56 – The reaction of the scribes: “He blasphemes!” 2:53 – Jesus’ question: Which is easier to say? 3:38 – The contrast between visible and invisible miracles 5:05 – The true greatness of spiritual healing 6:00 – Why forgiveness cost the Blood of Christ 7:04 – The Mass as the re-presentation of Calvary 7:55 – The power of the words: “I absolve you from your sins” 8:45 – Jesus proves His divinity through miracles 9:19 – Physical healing confirms spiritual healing 10:01 – Relevance for today: the need for confession 10:51 – The error of “going directly to God” without the Sacrament 11:52 – Do we truly believe Jesus is God? 12:55 – Rejecting confession is rejecting Christ’s mediation 13:41 – Meditation and final exhortation 13:59 – “Your sins are forgiven — you are a new creation.” 14:15 – In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ #CatholicHomily #18thSundayAfterPentecost #ForgivenessOfSins #Confession #CatholicFaith #TraditionalCatholic #JesusChrist #GospelReflection #DivineMercy #Healing #CatholicSermon #Faith #CatholicChurch #SundayHomily #CatholicTeaching #YourSinsAreForgiven #SpiritualHealing #Matthew9 #CatholicCommunity #Catholicism 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
