How beautiful, Fr. Joey.

Incredible story

That is a wonderful story. Tragic but contains great blessings too. I hope your grandmother lived long enough to see you become a priest?

Father Joey, what a beautiful story. Grace has truly blessed your family!

please pray for my son Paul

Absolutely true! Most of the time we are presumptuous that they're already with God, 'cos we're too lazy to pray for them. We cannot presume to judge them by our standards. God is the only judge who says who gets into Heaven so we must keep praying and doing penance.

As a hospice nurse at a Diocesan facility I am so discouraged by 99.5% of our caregivers- every one of them uses " he/she went to heaven" for when our patients pass away. I try to say as often as I can " no purgatory". No one responds either way when I say this

“Love them into heaven”… exactly!

Well said

Yes, this is why I pray for the souls in Purgatory.

Remember, GOD exists outside of space and time, so any prayers today or tomorrow can be for someone that died 20yrs ago or for a future sense. I'm glad your father is in heaven now. Now both your fathers are in heaven! GOD bless you!

@@salvadorramirez4114 I starting to pray for those forgotten in Purgatory as well as my own relative.

Ephesians 2:8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

@@ElCid48 there are No Souls our Good Shepherd could ever forget John 10:11-18 New International Version 11 “I am(A) the good shepherd.(B) The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.(C) 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.(D) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd;(E) I know my sheep(F) and my sheep know me- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father(G)-and I lay down my life for the sheep.(H) 16 I have other sheep(I) that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock(J) and one shepherd.(K) 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life(L)-only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.(M) I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”(N)

Eric R so??? Families can and do forget. Our prayers and sacrifices for the souls in Purgatory are one of our DUTIES and an honour for the Church Militant.

This is a Pagan belief....Wake up.........Study Your Bible...........Paul

@@paulholterhaus7084 St Paul referenced the cleansing by fire; study your Bible. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble - each man's work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. [1 Cor 3:12-15]

Yes! We also do that, continuing the tradition of my husband’s family

Our family has always done that as well. It is good to pray for our deceased.

If they were faithful they are in heaven now.

Good idea

If you pray for others (living and dead) while you're still alive, people will pray for you too in this life and in the next life because what we do to others in this life whether good or bad will return to us or will happen to us too. In short, we will reap what we sow. So if you want many people to pray for you and to help you in other things, pray for many people also and help them too in other things.

That's because they no there is NO PURGATORY. JESUS SAID and speak of heaven, hell and the lake of fire ONLY. ALL THAT RCC trash is just that BALONEY

Amen ❤️

Thank you for your kind & thoughtful request & encouragement! I will!

Amen

Yes pray for souls after rosary. Thank you for reminding me.

So true. Qe all need prayers to get to heaven 🙏 ✨ 🙌 ❤

Beautiful. I have often wondered if God would have mercy on atheists, agnostics, etc because of the prayers/masses of the faithful. Thank you for sharing.

@@marcihf217 you are welcome

Wonderful to hear. That cheers me up about members of my family who have no faith.

Wounderfull! 🙏

I say this prayer every day when I say my morning prayers.

I also recite St. Gertrude's prayer on a daily basis and have included it in all group recitations of the Rosary. I wrote a letter to the Bishop from Our Diocese asking for the recitation of the powerful prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after each Mass and thankfully he approved it. VIVA CRISTO REY!

@@juans6639 Wonderful Juan S. I hope your bishop listened to your letter. The mass that I go to the priest says the St Michaels prayer before the mass and after the mass, which I think is very appropriate considering the times we are in. We are indeed in a spiritual battle and the best way we can arm ourselves is to pray.

God love you JJ…I say the St Gertrude the Great prayer too!! Everyday 4 the Holy Souls especially the ones that no one prays for…my dad died last year of heart failure, but b4 he passed he received the sacrament of the sick & an Apostolic Pardon from Fr Greg M…I was very grateful to him 4this…but I too hope 1day I might see my dad during mass/consecration?! But if not I know he’s there when we are ushered into heaven during the celebration! Peace of Christ to fr Mark G & all those subscribed to his channel! ❤️❤️❤️

Amen🙏

Amen! ❣

Lol. Y'all wish. Mass is NOT IN THE BIBLE and seriously neither is purgatory. Why do you all believe mess that even Jesus NEVER SPEAK OF?????? ALL THAT IS MADE UP BY THE FALSE RCC

@@TriciaRP I am a Roman Catholic. You are not. Why does any of this concern you? No one is saying anything to you. It's curious that you would go out of your way to insult someone else's faith. You do you. And by the way Purgatory is real Matthew 5:26. Purgatory means hope for no one dies perfect and nothing unclean will enter heaven...so chill with your rudeness

so the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross wasn't enough?????

@@shaunconniff Jesus said take up your cross and follow me. Of course it was enough! There is a basic misunderstanding of what Catholic teaching is, which is fine but to go about the issue attacking people on you tube is bizarre. No one is going on your Church's page and being nasty. Go away if you reject Catholic teaching. Why can't you just look away? What does it matter to you? If we are so mistaken, then pray for us...May God reveal truth to you. This anger makes no sense.

LOL what evil trash!

Amen 🙏

YES! Psalm 8:2 "Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger."

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God

We all need prayers TO GET TO HEAVEN. LORD HAVE MERCY ON US 🙏

Great idea. I will do likewise!!!

For you are saved by Grace through faith, not of works lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8.... 1 John 5:13...I have written these things that you may know that you have eternal life. .... and Martin Luther's conversion voice... Romans 1:17 The righteous shall live by faith. Read Romans Chapter 4... just read it. And Galatians 1 & 3.... and see what it says.

@@Golfinthefamily Zach, do not read part of the Bible and not the whole. 1 Tim 3:15. The BIBLE says FEW are saved. Jesus said this. Don't ignore this. Matthew 7:14. Many who say, "Lord, Lord" will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 7:21. You have to do more than just believe. Yes, my brother is right, you must work hard. Read what Jesus says will happen to you if you don't feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned, etc. Matthew 25: 42-43. Do you really think you will enter Heaven? You're fooling yourself. Read how effective "faith" is without WORKS. James 2:14-26. Martin Luther was a HERETIC. Stop following him. He was a lapsed Catholic Christian who tried to change the Bible, and did. His followers stopped him from taking out the Book of James. Thank God for you, Protestant, or you'd be even more ignorant of the Word of God. Luther didn't like James for the verse I just showed you. He believed in "solo fide" or "faith alone." The BIBLE does not preach solo fide! Faith without works is DEAD. You must "work out your salvation with FEAR AND TREMBLING." Philippians 2:12. Stop being so presumptuous. You are putting your soul at risk. I pray for Protestants to come to the light of Truth.

I can ask for a mass to be said for Andrea. Is he your son?

@@cindyrobertson3798 Hello Cindy. No. I know his mother-in-law (in her senior years). A devout woman. She is with her daughter at the moment but forced to return, medical conditions. I'm surprised she managed the journey. She and I live in the UK. We have the NHS here (for now anyway). Her grief is great. In another couple of weeks her daughter and grandchildren will be completely on their own with their grief. So hard for them all. There are systems in place in the UK (at present), to help people in many unfortunate situations but I'm not sure about other countries. I know Andreas himself was concerned for his little family being without him. This being the case. I feel sure, that any prayers or/and masses celebrated for him, will be much rewarded by him, when it's our time to embark on our final journey. God Bless you Cindy. I will remember you in my prayers this evening. Warmest regards Anna

Thanks Anna may God reward you and bless you always yes a prayer will lift the whole family they in need for that kind heart thoughts and prayer amen

Hi Anna....this story touched me and I immediately prayed three Hail Marys for Andreas. I will also remember him and his family in my daily prayers.

@@agnesaj9199 Hello Agnes. Thank you so much. And, I will remember you in mine. Also I will tell his mother-in-law. I'm sure she will remember you in hers. God Bless.

will see it on thursday thanks for the comment

Which film is this? I had a look on KZfaq and there’s a few different movies of this name, can you send me a link or let me know the actors names please so I can find the right one, thank you so much in advance 💛

My husband & I saw it last night as well. Highly recommended, indeed.🙏🏻

@@MissFeline kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8ifa9WdyLbTdn0.html The movie is playing in over 1200 Theaters this week. I recommend it I took my teenage boys with us and they very excited about as well.

@@churchmom3936 My teenage boys enjoyed it as well. Please pray for an increase vocation in our young children, they are the future of our church. I offer my 4 sons, Christian 29, Gerardo 25, Christopher 17, and Brandon 15 to the service of our Lord Jesus Christ everyday. What a blessing it would be that our sons and daughters say yes to God. In Jesus Christ Holy Name we pray. AMEN AMEN AMEN

There is No purgatory. FALSE RCC DOCTRINE. I be glad when God wake y'all IGNORANT behinds up. Believe that garbage they teach. Sorry but it is the truth.. Stupid. Jesus blood and the HOLY SPIRIT is not enough on this side of HEAVEN...... IT WON'T BE THEN. JUST IGNORANCE. FULL OF BALONEY.

@@ShelaghDonnellyMinist7567 always Shelagh! Thank you 🙏

I say this prayer regularly 🙏. Thank you for posting it here!

Who was the Catholic Mystic ? Is it possible she was wrong?

​@@TheNarrowGate101 My aunt who is a nun met the mystic while she was running a centre for the mentally ill and homeless. She would come in to pray and help as she lived nearby. According to her she can only see souls in purgatory and can't see them if they went to Heaven or Hell. My aunt unfortunately was diagnosed with uterine cancer and was reassigned to another convent to be cared for and has since lost contact with the mystic. I wish I could contact her in some way as i really want to know where my Fathers soul is as he passed away in 2018. Also, she could be wrong, but in my grandmother's case, her devotion to God and her receiving the final rites and confession before she died gives me strong hope she is saved. I also had the grace of reading about sermons from St Leonard and St vincent Ferrere here is a brief segment of it. The following narrative from Saint Vincent Ferrer will show you what you may think about it. He relates that an archdeacon in Lyons gave up his charge and retreated into a desert place to do penance, and that he died the same day and hour as Saint Bernard. After his death, he appeared to his bishop and said to him, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this number, Bernard and myself went up to heaven without delay, three went to purgatory, and all the others fell into Hell." So from this its clear that unless your a living saint, the few that are saved will have to go to purgatory.

If they were holy they wouldn't be IN PURGATORY. YALL believe anything the RCC say. IGNORANT

Trisha Perry - don't be so intolerant. We believe and pray for others who passed that God forgive them and welcome those prayed for into His Kingdom. God can decide the value of those prayers in His mercy.

After they die.....It is too late to PRAY. YOU ALL are told lies by the RCC. It is A lie. The dead is that.....

"He is not the God of the dead, but of the living"

Amen Matthew 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.

@@TriciaRP No, it's never too late. God is the author of time. There is no beginning or end with Him. He can apply a prayer you say today for someone from 100 years ago...because He saw you would pray it for them, and apply it in advance. He is GOD! You have been told lies by mistaken Protestants who do not have the truth. Christian faith is originally CATHOLIC. There is no one "dead" in Christ. The ones who die with CHRIST are alive. They may not be seen by you or me. But yes, they live. And yes, they benefit from prayers. I'm so sorry that you are deceived by the heresies of Protestantism which were taught by folks before you were born that you inherited. But if you know the Truth, the Truth will set you free. And God will hold you to your ignorance, if you could have done something to learn more and failed to, due to laziness or complacency. I suggest you meditate on 1 Tim 3:15. Then, I suggest you read the excellent books, "Where We Got the Bible: Our Debt to the Catholic Church" by Graham, and "Unabridged Christianity" by Romero. Jude 1:2.

I ask all who are reading these replies to please offer a mass for my son Vito who committed Suicide last November 27th I’ve been praying and having masses said for him almost a year and beg for a sign God had mercy on him and give me a sign he has been called to heaven 💔💔💔💔💔I will continue praying for all the souls in purgatory every day with the knowledge that they will pray for me also 💔💔😫

Nello,please know I am on it right now in prayer. Stand strong. Jesus will hold you.

I will , thank you

No purgatory ma'am. That is a LIE I WISH they wouldn't tell such a foolish lie. Jesus NEVER SAID PURGATORY.... NEVER

@@TriciaRP are you Catholic? If so you should research why we believe in Purgatory and where in scripture we base our belief. Plus the Churches approval of more than one message/revelation from Mary and other Saints on Purgatory. What do you think God's Word in scripture about the cleansing fires is referring to? I for one believe in my Salvation through Christ, but I also know that the life I've lived on this earth is def not equal to others, some much better, some much worse. I will always be grateful that there's a place for cleansing before I'm before the beatific vision of God, and I would think even those who lived the worst of the worst life, think hardened criminals, would be especially grateful if their conversions don't come until soon before death or death bed. I hope you will consider these things, and look up Purgatory in Catholic Answers.

My stove came yesterday and I saw the same movie last night!

In my area there’s only two shows one was yesterday and the next one is Thursday I’m hoping to be able to go see it 🙏

@@lindahall3546 yeah, given the vid I just watched on shortages, including Coal co. CEO saying likely blackouts this winter on electricity, not to mention propane, nat gas and oil...that stove could be a lifesaver, I need to investigate too!

@@Alma.- Def don’t miss it...it really left an impact on me, to pray and offer up more for the dead, including relatives. Padre Pio is one of the featured, and I sat there in awe with my recent 3rd class relic touched to his (i.e. my Rosary), in my hand. We had visited his incorruptible? Remains at San Giovanni Rotunda, and walked many of those same halls shown, spellbound now.

where is that movie being being played?

Fr Mark .in 1998..I was sitting in church alone and a womans voice spoke in my left ear..she said " please pray for just one soul a day"... ever since that day ..as I'm waking up or going to sleep I am given first and last names of people I have NEVER met on earth..i keep their names in a journal and have masses celebrated for each individual. i put their names in the prayer book at church and offer my sufferings for them. God is sooo merciful!❤🙏🙏🙏🙏❤

If they were holy they wouldn't be in purgatory! Rubbish. FALSE RCC DOCTRINE. Fools

Nope. You wasting your time. The Bible is our example. Find quickly where they PRAYED TO THE DEAD? said they were going to purgatory? NONE. YALL BELIEVE FALSE DOCTRINE Don't ask a Priest or a POPE. Find it in the Bible where there is a purgatory and they PRAYED to the dead, for the dead????????

Wear scapular!!!!

Not about purgatory. It is about the people that die in the tribulation.

@@bcalvert321 IKR...there is no purgatory. This is another reason why RCC is FALSE. FALSE DOCTRINE. No purgatory.... Lord Jesus help us.

@Kevin Nablus that quote hardly proves purgatory. It simply means everyone will have their faith tried. Fires and furnaces are just metaphors.

@@TriciaRP of course it is true....read Maccabees ...oh wait

Very true!

A bunch of FALSE DOCTRINE spewed by lying demons. JESUS SAID HEAVEN OR HELL. Yes they have so MANY FALSE reassurances BY the RCC. liars. Y'all better get the HOLY SPIRIT and read the Bible for YOURSELVES. THEY WILL NOT BE WITH YOU judgment DAY. LIARS

@@TriciaRP The one true Church is the Catholic Church. Protestantism was begun by Luther (a fornicator) and King Henry VIII (adulterer) two men who broke away from the Catholic Church because they wanted to sin without guilt and to steal beautiful Church lands and property especially the monasteries.
