"Be not afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He is risen; He is not here." (Mark 16:6)

In this powerful Easter sermon, we reflect deeply on the resurrection of Christ and the sobering reality of relapsing into sin after confession. Drawing on the wisdom of St. Jerome, St. Bernard, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Fathers of the Church, we are reminded that:

Many begin well, but few persevere.

Perseverance in grace is essential for salvation.

Relapsing into sin after confession places the soul in greater danger than before.

True conversion requires prayer, vigilance, and devotion to Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

You’ll hear clear warnings against taking God’s mercy for granted, the danger of habitual sin, and the urgent call to seek God’s grace daily through prayer, confession, and the sacraments.

This message is especially fitting for Easter: Christ has conquered sin and death, but we must guard against falling back into spiritual slavery.

🙏 May this sermon inspire you to persevere in holiness, seek the aid of Jesus and Mary, and live as a true witness to the Resurrection.
