Dear Fr, sadly l found myself nodding in total agreement with you on the state of our beloved poor nation. In Fatima, Our Beloved Mother said " many nations would be annihilated ". I believe our beloved Ireland will be one of these nations, the time of the Irish is over. It will be our holy ancestors that will invoke Almighty God to bring it to an end. There are little shoots of green but not enough. Last night at the Institute of Christ the King mass in Limerick we got talking to a Muslim woman who comes weekly, drawn to the mass. Grace still flows . God bless you, a Rosary especially for you today.

It is time to turn back to God as a nation. It time to 🙏 pray

God bless Ireland 🙏 I am English but have a real love of Ireland. We must turn to God, that's our Hope and salvation. Anything's possible, I personally have tried to take my own life twice and by God's grace I am still here. It was a total lose of God in my life that was the root of my problems. This world needs God, we all need God and we need to serve him 🙏🕊️

Father you speak the truth. Thank you. Our lady of knock and St.patrick. intercede for Ireland 🇮🇪

Well said Fr. Kilcoyne and I concur with every word you have spoken.

How Angry our God must be with us 😔

My heart is heavy for the irish people. May our nations return to Christ. 🇧🇷💛🇮🇪

Well stated, Father Brendan. You have stated the truth here. The "commentariot", the Irish Media, is really not worth consuming at this point given its inherent prejudice. However. The point you make about the atomisation of Irish society is a fact, but even in the midst of this atomisation : I would confidently suggest that the Church is still the biggest demographic throughout this atomisation. The only thing that unites those who are in opposition to the Church - is the Church. In other words, our opposition are more fragmented than we are. In reality, most of that opposition actually oppose one another on a whole range of other issues outside of their anti Church stance. We need to take some comfort, and confidence, in remaining the largest demographic and we need to use that size as the basis to try to rebuild. The "commentariot" don't come to any of this with "clean hands" for sure. I would suggest cancelling this "commentariot" and instead support those who do tell, do report, the truth. And in the meantime the Church needs to take confidence in the numbers who still observe the sacraments each week and try to build on this demographic.

Fr thank you for your talk 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much, Father. Everything you have said is so true, heartbreaking. Please, always stay strong with the grace of God. I'm so grateful for you speaking such truths 💓 God bless you 🙏 ❤️

Agree with you about the state of our country.

I am heartbroken for my Ireland.

Excellently put Fr. Thank you

Well done Fr Brendan. GOD bless you abundantly

More power to Father, God in heaven send us more men and woman like you!

God bless you Father. Thank you for speaking out and for speaking truth.

Thank you Fr. Brendan

Tank you four bing the good SHEPERD

Amen Father 🙏 Spot on

Thank You Father 🙏🙏🙏

Thx Father Brendan, truer words have never been spoken. But also remember what is lost God can always find and restore again. I was lost and have returned. So can others if they respond to God's call and grace.

The Irish society was always very divided, even in Dublin people who live in some parts will never have anything to do with people who live in other parts to the point that I've heard that some north siders wouldn't go south and viceversa. The ONLY thing that kept together a sense of Irish Identity was the Catholic Faith and it was also a medal of honour to wear: - The Vickings robbed the country and killed innocents? In Ireland we remain Catholic - New anglican "church" and lutheran deformations? In Ireland we remain Catholic - 700 years of British occupation? In Ireland we remain Catholic Now, what does define an Irish? Before many people were poor, sense of community was strong and we shared common values and standards. But when you remove God from your life and think that you can be fine you're a fool. There's no identity, no morals, and no values, suicide and depression rates are very high also among the young ones. May Ireland return to the true Faith and have reverence for the Holy Body of Jesus of Nazareth in the Eucharist.

The Catholic laity need to join the Legion of Mary. They need to get out and get talking and bring these Irish souls back to mass and back to know, love and serve. It’s not too late. Things are bad, but there’s hope.

Re foreign investment, there was a lack of native Irish investment. One of the failures of our state that an enterprise class did not emerge. Would agree that foreign investment has affected our culture and would prefer more native investment

God bless you Father. Go mbeannaí Dia dhuit agus go raibh maith agat as seo. An-cheart agat i ngach a raibh tú á rá.

I'm part Irish and I went there in the late 90s. Ireland is God's country. Its so beautiful. I do think the greatest sin id taking things for granted. You don't know what you got til its gone. Or maybe some foteigner can get you to appreciate it.

well said Father.

I am from the US. Not all Catholic schools here are the same. There are many good faithful schools...others Catholic in name only. Instruction and education in the faith begins with the parents...and reinforced in school. You cannot abbrogate your responsibility as a parent, you must pray and lead by example in your family and find a good orthodox Catholic school that reinforces those Catholic values and beliefs. I grew up in the 80s...we actually had nuns teach us...now you be hard pressed to find a Catholic school with nuns...we need more sister teachers.

I’m from the US and the last time I was in Ireland Bobby Sands was alive in prison and there was British soldiers everywhere. I was just a stupid young man but it was obvious something remarkable and horrific was going on.

The Irish Catholic Church is instructive. Faith that is an extension of national identity can only hope to be vibrant when the national identity is vibrant. Additionally, when you make yourself vassals of the state so that you might enjoy its sponsorship and protection, the state can turn on you at will, and use your dependence upon it to subjugate you.

Good video

Unfortunately Father, You are so Correct.

West Yanks we are. Time for another interview with John Waters father. That was brilliant

God bless you father we need more and more priest's with the same attitude as you....🙏🙏🙏

The explanation for why the suicide rate is so high is spot on here

God bless Father thank you

Thank you Father, You may tell a chilling tale, but TRUTH is always a healing balm. On a positive note, as well as prayer, we retain the great gift of HOPE.! There are difficult times ahead surely, but God will send us good young men and women to rekindle the faith, even from the ashes of the fading embers of what once was. I expect the tech giants will abandon the Emerald Isle soon enough (even sooner than we might think) and that will bring a great poverty shock soon enough, but from the hardship that will ensue, the Irish people will see the glaring errors of their ways and learn again to plead the Mercy that springs from Almighty God. A great Purification you might say? God help us! 🙏🏼

Well said Fr Brendan!

Eye-opening 😢

The Word of God says in such a time as this: "If My people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Choronicles 7:14. If the Church sinned, has it repented? Of course, the secular world does not understand things of God, but if the salt of the earth lost its saltiness long ago what do we expect other than more and more degeneration ~ a foolish society that does not know when life begins and killing of the innocent becomes a human right and a people who believe men can become women and women can become men by the power of their imagination?

Well said Fr.

The speed in which Ireland declines is unprecedented in modern history.

I mourn the failure of Education in Ireland, to lead people to identify, analyse and discern good for themselves. Not all Catholic Educators but sadly many have raised their pupils to go along with the New Ireland value of material things above all else. This is admittedly, under severe pressure for many “Catholic Parents and Grandparents” who see the pursuit of points and material advancement as the primary fruit they want from Education for their children. But we should have known better!!!!!! As a result many under 55ies though they want to be “GOOD” do not know how to discern what good truly is! They are incredibly easy to manipulate with emotional/dramatic stories. They believe it is better, even virtuous, to allow the killing of Children in the womb, lest they be intolerant! For tolerance of anything is the supreme good in Ireland today! They do want to be virtuous. But they think they can be so without the grace of God. However, without God’s grace to enlighten our minds, we are the playthings of Evil. They are unaware of their absolute need of God’s Sanctifying Grace and how to actively pursue a Life of Holiness in union with the Trinity. What a mess!!!!! Thank you and Immaculata Productions for your courageous and creative imputes which trouble me deeply. Thank you. This is not the first time in history that the Church & society was in such a sorry mess. With Christ and his Blessed Mother, we shall rise and the gates of Hell shall not prevail. By God’s grace let us continue to fight and witness for the Glory of God and the dignity of Mankind made not in our fallen image but in Christ Glorious & Risen image. By his grace we shall conquer, “+”, In hoc signo vinces.

Well said....

If things carry on like this many European countries will be Islamic in few decades. God help us.

So true. The most Irish thing they can do nowadays is act like leprechauns. We act like the leprechauns of Europe and love a pat on the head for it from our European masters...

☘☘☘ 🙏🙏🙏

Boy, you turned that around real quick!! I thought this was about the sins of the church.

I enjoy your allusions to Irish literature.

The first person to mention the great Irish failure " Blame everyone execpt ourselves" Yes the Brits were always handy and now the Church will do. Best way to play the blame game.

The abandonment of the Irish language by the Irish has been the first stage in cultural self-capitulation. No language - no nationhood.

lot of unsolved problems in society been allowed to fester since 1990s, besides faith the countries is going sliding into a conflict or state similar to the north years ago, Younger people who do attend mass they fall off going to mass in late teenage years, many apostates once they go to college , ignorance is very prevelant also because the faith isnt being taught or explained to these people , older aswell fall in that category

Powerful and depressing presentation of the state of Irish culture we have sold our sovereignty and our souls to the alphabet people

Bracing

Solution >> make REPARATION to God!! Pray the DEVOTION TO THE HOLY FACE to make REPARATION for the crimes of Communists, blasphemers and the profaners of God's Holy Name and of the holy day of Sunday. We continue to mock God in countless ways, even having this pope leading the flock astray. Without reparation, God will chastise the world severely. Pray, pray, pray!!

Fr, how on earth did you make this talk about abortion? Yes, you did go very far, very low!
