We must pray for it

He’s already a saint ❤

Yes same with me

@PowerTime88 com Where in the Bible, does it say that only the Bible ("and the scriptures"?) is to be followed?

Who was given authority to.....?

Simple change, but change "for" to "with" and the path will be more natural. Good luck and have fun.

pray the rosary and you will experience incredible grace

@@ellied.3473 The roman catholic church is the church of Jesus Christ

amen

@PowerTime88 com, you are wrong. But we love you. I'll pray for you. I'll even pray to the Blessed Mother for you. Pray for us, too.

amen

What is the error? Patrick, are you one of those people who can't even acknowledge a single point a Catholic makes, even when it doesn't contradict your denomination or personal non-denominational thinking?

Happy Easter, Patrick

Fr. Mike is so right. After a long life, I finally realize, gifted people are used to being admired, not known, not loved, but admired. Maybe that's the reason so many really gifted people die Young. Never realizing there is someone who has always loved them. Someone who gave them their gifts. Someone who wanted to be their friend always. Thanks Fr. Mike. Always great lessons. You are truly gifted to always know who gave you your gifts to share. God bless.

Thank you

You can't be a catholic and a Christian ( part of the body of Christ ). Followers of Jesus don't adore a pagan goddess, they don't commit acts of spiritual cannibalism, they don't pray to dead people, they don't heed man made fables ( catechism ) forbidden by the true Bible ( King James Bible ), they don't pray to dead so called 'saints' forbidden by the Bible. All born again believers in Christ are saints, according to the scriptures. This unsaved showman will lead you to hell. He cannot have the Holy Spirit of Christ because he is a liar and deceiver. He loves himself. True believers don't follow a corrupt, sexually perverted empire of priests, bishops and popes. True believers don't go to satanic shrines to pay homage to so called apparitions from the devil. True believers follow the Lord Jesus Christ alone and obey His Holy word. That will do for now.

@@colvinator1611 the catholic church is accused of many fake things this is nothing new

Your problem Andree is you're in denial of blatant truth. You're living a lie.

@@colvinator1611 the catholic church is truth not a lie you have no proof otherwise

@Patrick Montgomery And don't be ridiculous. No one is required to take offense to anything.

@Patrick Montgomery I am not putting words into your mouth. You said "@William Douglas>>>while!!! it is you??? who is being silly???" Also, what about the Catholic Church is error and heresy to you? Please be more specific. The role to lead others closer to Christs is neither false, nor unneeded, and that is the priests' role. Sure, I will post about the Scriptures. Is there any Scripture verses you would like me to post about?

@Roman 2104, Jesus personally invented the Catholic Church, which in turn created the Holy Bible based on the living Tradition Jesus passed on to them, and the Church has been one living (visible) organization from Jesus' day to ours. If you call the RCC false, you call Christ false, since the RCC is the only way by which knowledge of Christ comes to you. (Even if you follow a historically novel Protestant offshoot of Catholicism, everything Protestantism believes in is drawn from Catholicism. It is impossible for Protestantism to stand alone. If Catholicism were to fall, all Christianity would fall--which is why the Holy Spirit has protected the Catholic Church from the moment Jesus created it until now, and will continue to protect it for the preservation of the truth, until the end of the age.

Roman 2104 No one worships Mary. #1 lie of protestants. Mary is asked to pray with/for us to GOD. Only God gets worship as taught by the Church. You have many misconceptions.

Sooo happy for you. How has your journey been :)?

@PowerTime88 com the Bible is a Catholic book. We know it's the Word of God because the Catholic Church said "this is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit" and has the authority to say so because it was given by Christ Himself. Look up how the Catholic Church came to be and despite many scandals, wars, and the protestant reform she still stands. Why? Because Hell will not prevail over Christ's established Church. He holds it up. And He is in it. Not only spiritually but physically, and He is waiting for you to come to Him in the Eucharist. In John chapter 6 He tells us this, he tells us at the last supper and throughout scripture. Even the Old Testament prophesizes to this. In the book of Revelations we are told the mark of the beast is 666. Well, in John 6:66 we hear about many of Christ's disciples and followers leaving Him because they can't accept the teaching of the Eucharist

Amen. You have to or else the room for Jesus will be taken over by this hurt and pain. I know, it's been years, but i'm dealing with it now. God bless you.

Roman 2104 You obviously only think you understand Catholicism. We pray for you too.

@@computerscientistlcs112that is such a dangerous course to go on.. to be inspired by God has to contain that within the scripture. Because Mormonism Jehovah's witness even Islam all claim to have been inspired from God but they contradict the scriptures The Catholic catechism's contradict the scriptures so therefore it's not inspiration of God.

Pray about it and follow him Around and ask him will he be your friend

Aric it sounds to me like you are very sinsere about your desire to be with this person as a your best friend .Please tell him,take the risk,

I used to think that until I needed to go to the ER and couldn’t drive myself. When you get older, you’ll want friends to check on you so you don’t die alone and rot away in your residence while no one knows you’re missing.

Roman 2104 I appreciate your effort to save souls. It’s really a loving thing to do. However, I have heard all the arguments against Catholicism. I am Catholic because of the beauty of the teachings of the church. I can see through all of the man made stuff and know that this is God’s plan for us. It’s truly amazing.

Roman 2104 I’ve heard it all already. I know the arguments on both sides. Aside from all the arguments, I can see that the Catholic Church is the only church that has not given in to secular society and remains steadfast in truth. That to me stands out above all others.

Patrick Montgomery I could never leave our lord as he is truly present in the Eucharist! If you could experience the Holy Eucharist, you’d never leave! It’s truly amazing! Perhaps one day!?

Patrick Montgomery She found the truth in the real presence of Jesus. Maybe one day you will too. You can't have a more personal relationship with Jesus than the Eucharist.

@Patrick Montgomery What lies and errors? Lol

Patrick Montgomery cuz you sound crazy.

Patrick Montgomery He is not a liar. He is a gift from God, created perfect in his image and likeness. He was given a gift to be a priest and spread the word of God. He was given the gift to lead us in worship the way the Lord wants to be worshipped, through the mass. He is a lovely human being who God created to help spread the word and the love of the one true church.

@Patrick Montgomery, query: I pursued God and Jesus through Protestant (sola scriptura) channels for years, but never found Him. Roman Catholics opened up to me a world of rich and defensible truth, beauty and goodness, and I am now in a relationship with Jesus and yearning to know him better and better each day; I pray more, I am more patient with others, I have more of a backbone and am stronger in proclaiming God's truth and defending the Bible--so do you think Jesus really would not want me to be a Roman Catholic? It is Roman Catholic or non-Christian, for me.... because if I can't trust the Church that wrote the Bible (RCC) I can't trust the Bible itself and be a mere sola scriptura Protestant. Again, I ask you: do you seriously think that Jesus would rather I turn my back on Christianity entirely, and accept that it is false (since if the RCC is untrue, it IS false) and pursue Hinduism/New Age/Atheism--or would Jesus rather I fall at his feet every morning and evening, as I am doing now, and pray the prayers of the saints, and meditate on the mysteries of Jesus' life through my rosary, and attend my Bible study group to hear from the Holy Spirit through scripture, and worship him every Sunday at mass, and pray for my brothers and sisters and the whole world to look to Jesus first before all else? If you would try to chase strangers away from Jesus (by chasing them away from the RCC where they find him) I suggest your father may not be the father of Jesus, but the father of lies and division.

Well how very Unchristian of you. This man was called by God. He has given his life in service to the Church. Have you? He is doing God's will. Are You? I am praying for you and I am hoping that you actually seek out the TRUTH before you criticize someone ESPECIALLY someone who is ordained and has received God's special anointing as a Priest in the Roman Catholic Church. JMJ

Roman 2104 How did you get your Bible without the Catholic church?

Patrick needs to take it easy on the exclamation points.

Patrick Montgomery no, Father Mike doesn't lie. He works for Jesus.

Daniel Jahn I mean like that energy is crazy! Holy spirit give me that energy! Amen

@Patrick Montgomery with all the respect I have for every human being, your heart seems to be hurt and affected.. A person who loves God and has love in his heart doesn't insults other people's beliefs and religion! May God heal your heart and open your eyes so you can see the Truth!

@Patrick Montgomery Caffeine has a long half life in the blood and inhibits deep sleep phases. Patrick, Fr Mike is a celibate person, purity chastity and celibacy are one of the greatest virtues a Christian can have in the eyes of God, and speaking the whole truth, radical honesty without half truths or withe lies is also a virtue that is dear to the Lord. Regardless of what your religion is, aim for these two and also loving God.

Tiffany Zoe, yes he is indeed. Some, included Father, may view that as a cross rather than a blessing.

I agree with you Tiffany. He is very handsome, indeed! I find that I have to ask God to help me hear this priest's message. I don't want to turn this man into an object of desire. He obviously has a God-given gift. I share something with him. It is passion. It is a passion for Jesus Christ and the words of the bible. If we try to refrain from objectifying men then maybe we, as women, will become more respected for being respectful. It is a difficult task. I do not believe the priest bears a cross for his attractiveness. We all carry crosses. The worst crosses are born by those who live with deformity or disability. This priest is an excellent public speaker. And to be chosen to share the message of Christ, is clearly, God saying how pleased he is in this man and his work.

Wendy Frances Milone it is proof God puts beauty in everything. Aren’t we lucky to see someone so beautiful?

Patrick Montgomery You can say that a priest is handsome, or a nun is pretty. It's a fact. It doesn't mean anything. Lust is when you want to sleep with him, or imagine sleeping with him.

He's gorgeous. And finding someone atractive is not a sin.

@Patrick, what is your problem specifically? Fr. Mike here calls us all to attend to the word of the Lord, to pursue Christian virtue, and to encourage one another in virtuous Christian friendship to pursue God's will. Stop trying to chase people away from that unless you want them to abandon Jesus.

Claudia Gpe. Guerrero Mendoza jj645

And it’s one of the scariest things to do ever 😱

@@daisyviluck7932 Around the right person(s) it's safe.

@Patrick, have faith in God ;) What is it you object to, specifically? The notion that God calls us to pursue virtue, and to pursue friendships that encourage us in virtue?

@Patrick, oh so you admit you're just trolling and there was nothing wrong with Fr. Mike's specific teaching here. (You're just generically trying to spread fear about some VAGUE "false teaching" that you actually can't even put words to.) Cool beans.

@Roman 2104, you are spreading lies from the father of lies. Calm down, and peacefully educate yourself before speaking further evil words against Christ's body.

He usually doesn't talk like this, but this time he was low on time.

C L If you go into the settings you can slow down the video! :)

I will pray for you

This is a very strange post. Are you being threatened?

LauraBeeDannon I wasn't able to Attend a singlet Easer Catholic Church Service this year. I've had rocks thrown at me outside my Catholic Church...

Patrick Montgomery Thank you for your reply. I'm a 60 year Cradle Catholic. I truly believe if not for Jesus I wouldn't be alive. I'm indeed Walking with Christ. GOD Bless.

Fiona O'Sullivan Thank you. God Bless.

Roman, as if often the case, when I encounter Catholic-bashing Protestants, it starts out with vagaries and abstractions, and one has to suffer through those before it comes down to the misunderstandings about the Catholic Church and/or the Bible. Statues aren't idols. Sorry, but you seem to have misunderstood the books of the Old Covenant.

Happy Easter, Roman

Roman 2104 So you celebrate the feast day the Catholic church established? Interesting. You read the Bible that was given by the Church too. Catholic.com

I've noticed that too about Patrick. Glad that other people can appreciate how great Fr. Mike is.

That is a talent and gift, but what feels good when you do it? Watching this means you're curious and looking. So often you won't see your talents and gifts because that's largely interpreted by others. This is what leads to imposter syndrome because it's what others think of you and hard to admit to yourself. What does being the best you feel like? Won't this help others see your talents and gifts?
