I'm bawling! this reminds me of my own conversion. I was pretty much like Fr Calloway in his youth. But one day, I saw a pic of Saint Augustine, read a 100-word bio of him, and told myself "I want to be like him" A week later, I saw a church and decided to enter. it was from the order of Saint Augustine, the parish name is Our Lady of Grace. it was at night and there was a mass, so I entered. then I saw a sign that read "reconciliation" and people queuing. I joined the queue without thinking it too much, almost like in autopilot mode. It was the line for confession. It was almost 15 years since my last confession. the priest took good care of me. and here I am, loving God and Mary with all my heart, trying to be a good catholic.

I'm about ready to join the catholic church. When I realized that's what I'm going to do I had a huge sadness in my heart that flooded my body realizing I did not raise my children in the church and how this might create some separation between us. I want my children to know this peace. I have 3 adult children and one still at home. He will be willing to go. He's open to it. Anyway, In that moment of sadness I can only describe a feeling that next came that overcame me with peace, it was that of a mother's heart and love that told me in my soul that my children will see my peace and eventually come through to knowing that God is real and peace can be found at the catholic church through watching me. That I'll have to say nothing to them. I knew at that time that that was Mary. I've never read a book about her or quite understand who she is yet. But I do KNOW that was her.❤

@YAJUN YUAN yes. It's part of Filipino culture. It's a sign of respect to elders or Holy priest.

@utubestock8352 2 жыл бұрын

When we do that, we say along it the words “ Mano po” .. It is a way of asking blessings from elders and Priests. At the same time, it’s our way of showing respect to them.

@angelaconcessacheung2457 2 жыл бұрын

@YAJUN YUAN the word ‘mano’ is Spanish for ‘hand’ (the philippines was colonized by spain for 300 years), while ‘po’ is a Filipino word used at the end of sentences as a sign of respect (to elder relatives, teachers, priests, any person you respect at a higher level basically) So ‘mano po’ would literally translate to ‘hand, please’ or in this case, asking a priest for his hand (which, as Fr. Calloway mentioned, is considered holy) / a blessing

@maudeadams3481 2 жыл бұрын

Fr. Don talked about Filipinos getting his hand and putting on their forehead. This is called "mano". It is done as a sign of respect and greeting to priests, your parents, grandparents and other elders (at home and in the community) and at the same time a gesture requesting for the priest's or elder's blessing. Usually done after mass, generally upon seeing them, before leaving the house and upon arriving home. Priests or elders usually respond with "God bless you" or "May God watch over you" and/or a hand gesture of the cross over the head after doing the "mano". This gesture symbolizes the Filipinos' high value and respect for family especially for their elders.

Until the Novus Ordo, I had no idea what was happening during the Mass. I love the “new” Mass and our priests are great tying the readings of the day with the gospel.

@dand8159 2 жыл бұрын

I mean… people didn’t have trouble understanding the mass for the first 1900 years of the Church… and think of the countless saints the traditional Mass produced. and the Novus Ordo isn’t simply the Mass of tradition but in the vernacular language. they created something new and largely man-made, neutered the prayers, and introduced a lot greater room for liturgical abuses. We shouldn’t try to bring the liturgy down to a lower level to conform to modern times. We ought to conform ourselves to the Church and its traditions, not the Church conform to us. We must change and be changed by the Church, not the Church be changed so we don’t have to. It would not be a difficult thing to educate yourself on the traditional Mass by reading through a missal. The intention (perhaps a good-hearted one) of the novus ordo has clearly backfired and our culture reflects it. There is a reason the youth are flocking back to the traditions of the Church while older people are stuck in the 1970s. I do hope you see the perspective of young people or traditionally minded people on this issue. For most of us, we never understood the new mass growing up and it didn’t edify us or create strong roots. It seemed like bad entertainment and no sense of mystery, the Divine, or a Christ-centerdness. And then not until discovering the long-standing traditions of the Church was the fullness of the truth and beauty of the liturgy brought into understanding by many of the younger generation

As I was going through the Consecration, I too questioned "why another Consecration?" During the actual Consecration, we prayed a rosary. I was invited to pray the 5th decade...finding Jesus is the temple. As I prayed, I was pondering the question. The thought came: "Why do we pray 'Fathe, son, Holy Spirit?' Praying to anyone of them prays to all; because they are one. I came to realize that as I pray to Mary and ask for intercession, I am also praying to Joseph because they are one. The answer came, we pray to Father, Son, Holy Spirit, to proclaim the mystery of the Trinity. We pray to Mary & Joseph to proclaim the mystery of the Sacrament of Matrimony.

As a Filipino, it never fails to make me laugh when Fr. Don compares Filipina women to high ranking spec ops units as Catholics. edit: oh my goodness the amount they talk about Filipinos in this episode is a lot (and they'll all true). God bless you both.

Wonderful show, gentlemen - and thank you, Fr. Calloway, for speaking at ICMC this year! I'm starting my consecration to St. Joseph on the 15th!

I've started attending TLM recently in addition to my Syriac parish, and you are so right, Fr Calloway -- it draws the young people who are on fire for God, many of them recently baptized or on the way into the Church. TLM a magnet for conversions, too, because of the linguistic, artistic, and musical beauty, reverence though acts of kneeling and worship, and interiority fostered by the silence. Very different from my participatory Syriac parish, which I love, but I don't see any young people in their teens or twenties attending there, sadly. We need revival there!

Fr Calloway is one of God’s favs for sure!! I have several of his books. There is no one like him as he touches the hearts of many and brings those into a closer relationship with the Blessed Mother and Jesus Christ!

Fr. Calloway is such a joy. It's so clear to see how beloved he is by our Mother in his testimony and how far he's come from who he was. He's a new St. Louis de Montfort and will be Saint himself some day, I'm sure of it!

Great things in the Church right now: in secular/protestant Scandinavia pious protestants are joining the Holy Catholic Church ❤ Pray for Finland, there is only one diocese and no bishop. Only ~16'000 catholics but every day growing. Great priest and a dozen young men in seminary! Sweden, Norway, Denmark same, the Church is growing!

53:02 The Filipino gesture Fr. Calloway was talking about is actually a gesture of greeting done to older people or people we respect or revere like priests and nuns. We say "mano po," while taking the back older person's hand and put it up on our forehead to show respect.

I had to pause what I was doing to say I love what Fr. Calloway said about "butterfly kisses" with the Rosary. I get so distracted at times, but it's beautiful to remember that God loves me, and my Blessed Mother loves me, and appreciates that I am coming to spend time with them.

I hope Fr. Calloway pursues his interest in learning the Latin Mass. We need to infuse our church with more tradition. There is great beauty in tradition.
