Lapsed Children: Who's to Blame? - SSPX Sermons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- It is a sad reality in the Church that many raised Catholic fall away, especially as they enter adulthood. Although traditional Catholic parents are aware that they must immerse their children in the Faith, too often these same parents are tempted to make compromises with the world, thus exposing their children to adverse influences that have a detrimental impact on their commitment to Catholicism.

If a child is marrying someone who is not Catholic, after being "raised" Catholic - 1st problem!
Candid and well said. When in the Novus Ordo I NEVER heard anything even close to this. Maybe I was at the wrong parish. Attend the Latin Mass.
Badly needed en ouragement as I pray for my adult child, who has turned away from God. Thank you, and God bless you.🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant and perfectly timed.
God bless this priest.
I needed to hear this and I know I’m not the only one.
I was anxiously staring at the face of my sleeping three weeks old son while listening to this sermon, I’m more determined in my resolve to do all I can to help him preserve his Faith and save his soul. From this sermon it has become even more obvious to me that, as parents, we could do everything in our power in terms of upbringing, but without God’s grace, our labours are nothing but futile
Thank you for this sermon. God bless you. Father.
God Bless this priest!
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa......All I can do is beg Mary's help for my fallen away children and grandchildren.....
Never take the true faith for granted. The lures of this world are great.
A major problem parents have - cell phones!
Excellent sermon.
+JMJ+ This is another extraordinary sermon. The priests of the SSPX are the embodiment of all that had ever been good in the Roman priesthood. They have prescient insight into human nature and unparalleled devotion to healing the human heart. Whatever I hear it witness that is negative vis-a-vis the SSPX, I can assure anyone that these are the finest priests of the Roman church, and I will go to my grave avowing it. Everything that was said NEEDED to be said. Ty Father!
Thank you Father.
A STRONG❤ AND VERY HOLY😇🙏❤️ SERMON❤️.
Thank you dear Most Reverend Father 😇🙏
God please forgive me I let my children and you down
Fantastic sermon. Sadly, no child is immune to the crisis in the Church and the culture of today.
It is really up to parents to provide for the Catholic upbringing and Catholic education their child needs.
We have to figure out how to raise strong Catholics in their faith by 18 years old, not just students who can pass a secular college exam.
Good parenting and lead by (Catholic) example is the key to raise our children and ensuring a Catholic future. My heart breaks when I look at my older siblings who have departed from the Faith and I am having to constantly remind them of their Catholic roots.
Brilliant! Sharing with many!
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Does anyone know who is this priest speaking?
Thank you Father. This has been passed down through generations.
Nearly 42 years ago, I met a Protestant who loved the Lord as much as my dad! I had never met a man so devoted to the Lord, although his spiritual practice was so different from my traditional Catholic life. We married. After seven years of research to convert me, my husband became a Catholic.❤
We raised six children, five boys and a disabled little girl who is now in Heaven. My sons married either New Order Catholics or Protestants. Only one of my daughters-in-law is in Love with Christ. Although a Protestant, she is honoring her husband's Traditional Catholic Faith. Their's are my only grandchildren who are progressing in a Catholic, sacramental life.
HINT: FIND a spouse who loves the Triune God above all things.
Why….two word ….Twisted LEADERSHIP.
Parents, parents, parents, parents, where did the Parents, Priests/Holy Mother Church go for them, for them for them
Depressing that my children have got up and left no matter how much I have prayed for them and ultimately I and my husband are responsible no matter how much we practiced our faith . Its our fault!
Free will is what Christ has given us. Your children have decided to leave, because they believe the world. I made the same choice. Reflecting on how I was lukewarm, often scandalous, giving in to the culture’s view of the church, and how I let the self-inflicted wounds of my youth corrupt the way I raised my kids - I will be held accountable, no question. It is only now I realize the damage done. Christ says “be not afraid” more than anything in the Bible. Persevere in your faith. Even a wretched sinner like me has come around. God bless
Listen again.
God bless.
No Mother, you mustn't blame yourself in this way. When our children leave, no matter how much we "did things right", the adult child is his own person and makes his own mistakes and decisions. The world, the flesh and the devil strives to pull us all down.
Don't let yourself be downcast. I myself have lost almost half. And that is from children who were raised Traditional from the beginning, both parents traditional Catholic and loving the children. There are no perfect parents other than Our Lady and St. Joseph. And even the saints had children
go the wrong way. But it is not over. You can save them. No matter how thankless they are and no matter how neglectful, you will never stop praying. Your prayer is the most powerful thing, as a mother, you have the means and the desire to save them, as no one else. You may never see their
conversion, but it will happen if you don't give up. Offer up all the heartache and neglect that your children offer you for their salvation and to make up for any mistakes that you may have made along the way in raising them. I am offering a Rosary for you today and will keep you in my prayers. Please pray for me. God bless you!
Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Yes, we have 18-20 years to show our children and teach them how to be good Catholic adults in action and virtue. Yes, we will be made accountable for our poor or mediocre parenting. However, remember once they have left home, it will be up to them to listen to their conscience and the Holy Ghost-or ignore it. As adults, they will have to choose God’s will or their self-absorbed will. On Judgment Day, our adult children will not be able to say, “It was all my parents’ fault…”
Jacqueline. I disagree that adult offspring leaving the Faith is your fault. They have a God given responsibility to adopt and be faithful to the Church. Continue to pray for them all your days.
You forgot one. The sexual abuse crisis and the preverted clergy. Made one of my kids run like hell. As it should have.
I cannot write on a phone anymore. Comes out like crap lol sorry. Maybe, on top of strong catechesis. Teach ethics in a way that would make sense even without an act of faith. For me when I reach this point, the active faith was automatic anyway.
This is a truly good sermon, and addresses a serious problem that is impacting SSPX right along with the novus ordo parishes.
