Wonderful truth. I was in a deep depression for over 5 years up to the point of considering suicide. I am an autistic 38-year-old man who has received the blessing of my wife and our beautiful 6-month-old baby girl. God had set me up and continues to bless everyone day after day. Praised be God!

I’ve just come out of a very dark season of layered hardship including depression. God is faithful! He rescued me. I receive this good Word and encouragement as balm for my heart! Thank you!

Reminds me of something I saw once: " God must be up to something, or the devil wouldn't be trying this hard to knock you down!"

I've suffered from the disease of depression ever since I can remember. After decades begging God to end my suffering, or consider taking matters into my own hands, I am suddenly cured after 60 years. I'm not sure why God finally answered my prayers. I had no change in meds (I never found one that really worked). It's been a month now. I do have to say that over the course of a year my prayer life has vastly improved. Praise and Glory to God!

Eight years of debilitating pain. Can't determine the cause. Please pray for me.

I went through that for more than 2 years receiving the body blood soul and Divinity healed me I thank you Jesus for my healing Amen 🙏

I just found this video. Father, thank you for this. I've had depression and people tell me that I have no faith if I am depressed. It's very discouraging because I love God with all my heart and I believe in his good. This video gives me hope for God good grace. I might also add that I feel God's presence and he's sent me help thought out this deep depression.

Thank you for this Father. I suffer from depression and Saint Joseph might be a good intercessor to God to help overcome it.

I've been depressed for as long as I can remember, almost to the point of suicide. Neither prayer nor medication nor counceling seem to help. Please pray for me.

Father I am beginning to think you are making these videos specifically for me. Every one of your videos hits the mark and resonates within me. You speak about the things I think about, ponder and get confused about. Thank you for your clarity and your enthusiasm. Your words are needed so much. God bless you.

Fr. Mark, Stay strong, you are loved and prayed for daily...☦️

Thank you for this precious word frim God. A tsunami must be coming my way. I keep asking God to help me as I sink deeper and deeper. Please pray for me, that I know what God wants me to do and that I have the courage to do it.

thank you Father Goring

Thank you, I very much needed to hear this. Please pray for my daughter. Amen

Weve had 2 deaths in our family in the past month, one of them my nan, age 96, 2 days ago and our step-dad too. They were both very special to us. I can see the deep trough, its almost pulling me into an unbearable grief and sadness. I am praying that Jesus will swim in this with me and grant me the courage to get through. Amen.

Thank you father for this message. Six months ago my wife of 30 years died and I've been in depression and grief big time ever since. Hope what you're saying is true for me. God bless you 🙏

You are a great speaker! Thank you for sharing...

God is definitely working through you. Anytime I'm feeling broken and go on KZfaq, your words change the course of my day. Thank you Father

Much love and respect for your short clear and concise anecdotes explaining complicated serious matters in under a few minutes! Viva Christo Rey!🙏✝️🙏✝️❤️

Thank you so much father! I needed this so much. Im currently going through a tough phase in my life but I will trust in the Lord and experience Gods mercy and peace.

Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more!

God bless and protect you Fr.Mark➕

Thank you for all of your shorts messages. They always uplift me to the Lord!!!!

Thanks fr from Scotland, as I'm suffering from depression God bless you.

To every one : This incredible " priest " is a real one !!!!!! Finally we can hear a PRIEST who mixes , Scripture, with a vivid FAITH in the SUPERNATURAL world , mixing in HIS preaching , an old knowledge of the CHRUCH , which has been lost or hiding from the people of GOD, in the recent years . THE life of the saints, ( TRADITION ) and a beautiful knowledge of the Magisterium of the CHURCH . He does not preach on the SOCIAL aspects of the Human Beings only ( the horizontal beam of the cross ) instead He walks in contemplation of what is above , that descend , ( The vertical beam of the cross ) reaching the goal of Jesus,, himself ,,,,, WORDS , MIRACLES to ACHIVE the return of all of us , to the FATHER ! VIVA CRISTO REY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I needed to hear this today. Thank you Fr Mark. 😊

Thank you Father Mark. I love your stuff.

He is one of my Favorites..He is Awesome..i watch a movie about him almost daily.😊👍

Thank you Father Mark. God bless.

I am just slowly coming out of a very dark depression. My depression has such a hold on me that it frightens me. I prayed and prayed and gradually the depression is lifting. I find that by praying and inviting God into my life, that He appears as being so pure, so compassionate and so powerful with a guiding light which has lifted me out of the depths of my depression. I really thought I had hit rock bottom this time around, but God saved me and sweet, caring Jesus never fails to deliver the peace and serenity that is needed in our lives.🙏🎚🙏

I too experienced this desert that Fr Mark speaks of. For me it was 5 years. I was sailing along in my career and then all of a sudden I couldn’t do it anymore. Just like that. Suddenly everything I had previously found joy in went away (working, triathlons, everything). It was a deep depression and somehow I knew it was spiritual. When I walked in Church on Sundays I felt strangely agitated. Again, I didn’t know why. I went on a silent retreat at a monastery. Didn’t get better. I saw a few therapists. Didn’t get better. Then I stumbled upon a Christian radio station K-Love. I started to fill my brain with the goodness of God through music and daily reading of the Bible. Ultimately it led me to a conversion. I was already a baptised Catholic but it led me to a deeper understanding of my Catholic faith and ultimately made me a completely different person. Through this experience I learned to trust God in a new way. It also led me back to the Sacraments, particularly Confession. I hope my story helps anyone else out there who may be experiencing depression. My message to you: it will get better. God is with you, closer than he’s ever been.

It is true. I got a dream and I saw three waves coming to me. Strong and for about three meters tall. First I was scared with first wave and didn't take me, then came the second wave a was scared and trying not looked the wave coming to me and them I heard a voice near to me saying " don't be afraid ". I felt that was Jesus tell me. Then the third wave came to me I din't afraid and saw strong wave stopped at my feet very small. Then I want into the water in middle walking next waves without hurt me or drown. That dream was on January and sometimes remember it.

Thank you Fr. Mark. God Bless you.

Thanks for this encouraging video Fr Goring! God bless you

Thankyou father for such a lovely story and bless you also ! You give so many people hope.

Great insight, Father: "deep depression means a big wave". Amid all God's blessings, there's so much satanic affliction--guilt for past sins, guilt for present weakness, the destructive fools of the world, secular Catholics and the sodomite mafia in our Church. For all those mental afflictions, I've come to love the Sorrowful Mysteries. Where do they start? In a garden, a place of beauty and peace, but with our Lord almost overwhelmed by the sorrows He must carry. Jesus carried all our sorrows, afflictions and sin (Isaiah 53). So great was anguish, he sweated blood in great drops (Luke 22:44). Jesus carried all our sorrows that to cross. He's been through that as a human being. He knows that way to victory. He did it for us. He did it in love for you and I. In times of sorrow, it gives me great hope, great consolation, to know that Jesus has been there too. My suffering is tiny in comparison, but, even so, he knows about it and cares for me. He knows the way. He has a protected path for each of us. Stay close and he will lead us through to victory, love and peace.

I NEEDED to hear this Fr. Mark. Praise God!

I've been praying for some "new" spiritual direction. Possibly found it. I love the short and to the point sermons. God bless you Father and your ministry.

Thank you father Mark. Great! (Marc Meyer from Switzerland)

Thank you Father God Bless

Thank you Father. Life has been rough for everyone e as of late. Great words.

This wisdom is something we need to teach our children. Wish this would have been explained in my younger years and through the many hard times in my lifetime. Great message 🙏

This is awesome, Father. Thank you.

I totally needed to hear this right now. God bless you, Fr. Mark💝🙏😊

I love this book and movie it always makes me happy

I’m waiting a long time. Not my way but Your way Lord. #dryness

Thank You Fr Mark🙏

I needed to hear this Father. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊😊

What a wonderful saint st J of C. Let us call upon him in Christ. Thankyou Father all what you say is real. Down so as to go up again!

God bless you and keep you. Feel I was led directly to this video. Needed to hear this at this exact moment. Praise Jesus our Lord!

Thank you for this father it meant a lot to me . Praise god

Thank you Fr. Mark, God bless you. Gives hope in moments of the troughs.

Thankyou Father...I'm very depressed lonely alone unhappy lost lost lost

Just went threw this wave for 5 months. Kept praying rosary and patience in suffering. God never abandon us..

There is no coincidence this popped up on my feed. Kiitos!!

thank you Father was needing to hear this

Amen and Amen brother Mark. 💔✝️🛐

Really hope that wave shows up sooner than later...getting tired waiting on a lot of things.

Father, if you are at anytime in the UK (North Devon, England ) PLEASE allow me to show you the wonderful Surfing which the Lord God made for us all. Bless you Father,,

Thanks Father...

Ride the wave to Gods Grace! Wooooo!!!!

Father Mark, thank you - I'll continue to pray and have faith. It's been 3 years now ...

As a kid I became severely depressed for no reason at all. It lasted until my early twenties when I went to a Church where the pastor gave me an inspired word that explained to me why. Upon this I got well without much effort and it never came back. Now whatever I face, I always live with a joyful expectation of the moment the Holy Spirit will tap me again. When the wave of God hits you, it does so to put your feet on the shore for good.

From the bottom of my heart, Thank you ! I really needed to hear this explanation .

Thank You Fr. Goring, I really needed to hear this now!!! God Bless+++

I always enjoy the references to Saints - thank u Father Goring

Thank you, that gives me Hope.

PRAISE BE JESUS CHRIST🙏🙏🙏💕💕

St Jude please pray for me for my urgent prayer request, please pray that my health will be protected. For total healing physically, spiritually, and emotionally. That the Lord Jesus my Divine Physican and that Our Lady will nurse me back to total healing. For me to have peace of mind, patience, and to be able to accept what happened and learn from it. That I won’t be discouraged and lose hope. Amen.

I see father Goring had a calling early in his LIFE to help PEOPLE bless him

I have been watching your videos for some time and never saw this one. About the same time this was posted I gave a sermon during a Seven Last Words service that used surfing as a metaphor. Mine was about “letting go and letting God.” Fr. Mark, we are kindred spirits.

Surfer from Halifax now living in Ottawa. Same city again. Anyway this vid piped up out of nowhere is exactly what I’m going through. Had the second split second vision/feeling of my future that looks good. But currently depressed and no motivation to leave my apartment

Fr Mark thank you for This I am experiencing a deep trial that I never thought would happen... After just by chance getting on this video you have given me so much hope JESUS is the way the truth and the life Thank u and we are so blessed to have you on KZfaq😇😇

I'm gradually listening at your preach on KZfaq and this topic give me something to hold on my faith to God. Everyday I pray for the patience. I need to be patience for what God plan on me. Thank you Fr. Mark. God bless you.

Thank you Fr. Mark for this powerful sharring to us, Jesus bless.

Father, thanks for sharing.

Thank you fr Mark

It was the literal garment of praise.....

So good. I have been through some stuff at the hands of other people’s weaknesses and a territorial principality, but for the Lord I know I would be a mess. Last night I dreamt I was driving to Nazare in Portugal ... hooray massive troughs on the horizon 🤙🏼

I have severe depression, I take 2 types of medications and they hardly work. And I pray but I guess I'm not praying right because I'm still going down hill. No one cares about me, I think I need help.

What can I say except thank you so much for THAT message at the RIGHT time!!!! WOW. Three Hail Mary's for you Fr. Goring, a truly faithful and creative Catholic priest doing all you can to get the spirit of our Lord to us, the laity! God Bless You and protect you!

Olympiads of Truth wholly see record high troughs and crest as a surfer paradise , a time to medal Team Christ..

God bless Fr Gorang

Appreciate the good days and offer up the bad ones, this is a war, a battle for our soul, its sink or swim. Stay in prayer so you don't drown

I loved this father.

It's been a long and trying time. Come Lord Jesus Christ and put Your Spirit in me.

Amazing words, I feel the Holy Spirit flowing through you and I’m finding I’m watching your videos 4-5 times in a row. God bless you and keep you.

Thank you father for everything you do. You are a great help to us. I am not a catholic but would like to know how to pray in the spirit

One of our Saints! When my kids ask for prayer for exams and school work, I ask St. Joseph Cupertino to intercede for them. So thankful for our Saints!🥰🙏😇

I pray Fr. Mark is well. 🙏

Inspirational. Thank you!

I came down with depression years ago. I went on meds. I wish I could go back and be stronger

I just found your channel... and i love it .. God bless you always..
