+JMJ+ I bought it and it's excellent!

[@j2muw667]

Yup. That’s me. Sloth and gluttony. With some lack of humility.

[@illegitiminoncarborundum115]

Ditto.

[@catholicdoomer]

I clicked because I knew I had to hear that. Ouch.

[@missylynns8966]

Me too 🙏🏼

[@zachis33]

As a rule, I don't click on videos that aren't on Sensus Fidelium, especially videos that aren't from the Marian Friars Minor 😉

I stopped by her shrine today in AL, SHE really is an inspiration to sainthood...

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

Thank you for this urgent reminder. It only takes a few well chosen words to hit the 'nail on the head'.

[@eileenwilkerson7273]

Another lesson hitting the target for me. Arrive at the finish line completely spent! Thank you.

[@tedeibeakawaii]

Brothers and sisters, please keep my country Kenya in your prayers. Please pray the rosary for our peace too. The people tried to peacefully protest a new finance bill, but our president is very cruel, and had given orders to kill protesters. Now we have the military deployed in all areas, and the youth are not afraid to die for their freedom. We know that politics are actually matters of spiritual warfare, and that is why I am asking for your prayers. Thank you.

Prayers coming your way. Peace in Kenya and the whole world. ❤️🙏

[@averyvery18]

Praying for you and for your people

[@5.56_Media]

This is why the secular made it popular to say "nobody's perfect" "it's/ I'm only human". It's a sloth trap.

[@KittyM-]

Oh no. Yes I AM hitting snooze, and taking seconds, and eating between meals, ...

[@mottledbrain]

Grrŕ... that evil snooze button has been plaguing me for over four decades.

[@KittyM-]

@@mottledbrain 😁

[@marigoldenstar]

Thank you Fr for the reminders. I wasn’t able to attend the Mass today because I forgot to turn on my alarm last night and I had a lot justification saying that I deserve rest because I travelled yesterday 😢 No wonder I easily get anxious these days because I also hit the snooze, snacking between meals, almost arriving late at Mass 😔 But again thank you Lord Jesus for providence by sending the Holy Spirit to lead me to this video…truly Your patience is our salvation

[@imover9999]

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. The world is fleeting and passing away. God is the only eternal being. I really appreciate this sermon. Thank you for making it. For me, I suffer not only from sloth, but even worse from cowardice and fear. The things that keep us from holiness are so trivial... Yet they're still so difficult to overcome. Lord have mercy. Thank you for reminding me that even if I amount to nothing (which is the most probable outcome of my life) I can still do the most important thing with my life and focus on becoming holy. Not for my glory, but out of love and desire for God and the eternity with Him. Pardon the long post. Thank you again for this sermon. God bless you and yours and all those who hear your edifying words.

[@rikky702]

Very right. A comment of truth. Thanks.

[@PC-mz5su]

Wow Father great homily, I need to start tomorrow denying myself and to overcome laziness ❤

[@PetiteFleurBleue2009]

Why not start today, lol! Honestly, all of us Sinners need to stop procrastinating 😓 May God bless you.

[@sam12587]

Interesting. Wish there was more. I struggle with eating enough to maintain my state in life; my duties to fellow man/family. Seconds are only an issue for me at thanksgiving and good mashed potatoes.

[@averyvery18]

I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@AndrewAarvold]

Forgive me Father me having knowledge of God's Will, but without obedience. Lord Jesus, I desire your gift of living in your 'Divine Will,' if you grant it to me I graciously accept it. Amen.

[@mariasadek1907]

Strive though the narrow gate.

[@PetiteFleurBleue2009]

To strive for holiness and perfection is frown upon these days, not praised, not even by (Novus Ordo) priests, just as it not "cool" to be a good student or intellectual.

holiness: arriving at the finish line completely spent

[@lucystephanieproperties]

Is this part of a series? I'd like to listen to the purgative stage too. Summady share the link. 😊

[@eselga8]

AMEN AMEN AMEN!! BEST Homily EVER!! TY, Father!

[@user-ui1lg9ut2x]

My local rector preaches that we should all be "more fraternal and human" - forgetting that being human is to err - rather than being more holy and perfect as the Father.

[@bloodwrage]

Hopefully, he means it in an Aristotelian sense, i.e. be more human-like than beast-like. Christ is fully Man and fully God. We should imitate him in His human faculties.

[@edithodoh6878]

Hello Fr, thanks for this video and it’s sermon, I have been battling with myself for a while now, wondering if I am doing “too much”, I would really want to be able to tell when to stop, so that I don’t go too extreme in this call to holiness. Cause I fear that am not doing enough and at the same time worry that I might be doing too much Would appreciate a response from you

[@rideforever]

I do not believe you can drop all sin to leave an empty space .... it's rather than sin is exchanged for God, step by step like a game of Othello.

[@jwm6314]

Nope. You can expel all sin. Tomorrow. It's what confession and penance are for. If you pray for it, and have the will and courage for it, you can wake up tomorrow adorned with virtue. You just have to ask. There's no reason to cling to anything sinful or worldly

[@RossArlenTieken]

@@jwm6314 I think that @rideforever is talking about forming holy habits to replace sinful habits. And yes, you can be adorned with virtue, but if you're not in the habit of virtue, you don't know how deep the cancer of sin goes. It's not just the root canal that matters, it's learning to floss every day. :)

[@RubyEl.]

No one can stop sin by his or her own will somehow human nature will take effect in the future.. Thats why we need God/Jesus always

[@gernblanston9760]

Help, I'm a Soul trapped in a body. The body ( temple of the Holy Spirit) is the vessel given us to Port Are Soul Around to see if we Are Worthy of Heaven.🙏

[@jude-7777]

Can a win/win between one's spirit and ass be achieved without adulteration to the purity of the spiritual intention? For example, to maintain strict temperance overvfood & drink to mortify the flesh and, at the same time, beautifying the outward tabernacle.

[@swashyhimself]

What’s he reading from?

[@donreinke5863]

Probably because not many in the modern age want that kind of lifestyle.

[@clydedoris5002]

Hes vague as well and really gives no tools for holiness

[@timeforturtles]

It is an excerpt from a longer set of conferences and other videos, so you might hear more on it one of the other videos. Hope that helps.

[@careybowden4864]

Fr Ripperger has many talks, if you're looking for more step-by-step and concrete advice - methods of prayer, spiritual life, predominant fault, virtues, etc.

[@mikeDeSales943]

What a nice reminder that all is hopeless and I am going to hell.

[@SAPFM]

If you are even half serious and not just being sarcastic, try going more frequently to confession. Although I never got that lighter than air so many people say that they experience, I do believe that the sacrament provided me with the grace to overcome my most serious offenses. It may be difficult a first, but so worthwhile. Also, if need be, try different confessors/parishes. I clicked on this video, because I can still be lazy at times. Also, making the effort to go to Church more frequently for Mass or Adoration can blossom into a greater desire to please God and not offend Him.

[@alby4548]

All people in heaven are saints, and most people will not go to heaven. Little Jacinta of Fatima was told about WW2 ahead of time and that most of the ones who will die in it won't go to heaven .
