On the feast of St. Benedict (March 21), we are reminded of one of the most powerful commands from his Holy Rule:
👉 “Prefer nothing to the love of Christ.”

This profound Lenten meditation explores what it truly means to put Christ first—above comfort, above self, and even above our natural aversion to suffering.

Through reflection on the Passion of Jesus Christ, this sermon reveals:

Why suffering is allowed by God
How grace transforms suffering into merit
The role of the Holy Eucharist in strengthening us
The hidden mystery behind redemptive suffering

Drawing from St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the wisdom of the saints, this message challenges us to embrace life’s trials with humility, love, and serenity.

As we approach Holy Week, this is a powerful reminder:
Nothing—absolutely nothing—should come before the love of Christ.

🙏 Let this message strengthen your Lenten journey and deepen your love for Our Lord.
