Father Mark, you hit the nail on the head. This watered-down Catholicism is perhaps the biggest problem in the Church. Please keep preaching about it. And, thank you for preaching about it.

"If God does not offer you sweetness, then you must still be content, patiently eating your bread, even if it is dry, doing your duty without compensation, for the present. By doing this our love of God is selfless, and one loves and serves God in this way at one's own expense, a behaviour that pertains to perfect souls." (Letters 111) St Padre Pio "We are all called to be saints. Don't miss the opportunity. " (Mother Angelica) Thank you Fr Mark for your videos.

Powerful. And yes spiritual warfare is real. Thank God we have the saints and angels defending us. St. Padre Pio pray for us. Have a blessed day Father Mark.

I was born and raised Catholic, however I drifted from religion in my 20s. Now in my 30s I have come back to Catholicism due to multiple experiences i had. Exploring the religion again, I find spiritual Warfare fascinating and disappointed it wasn't emphasized more when I was younger. I may not have drifted away if things weren't sugar coated to me, not because it scares me into listening but because its more interesting and real.

Spiritual warfare is very much real. Presently, in my family, I am the only one attending TLM, exploring more of my Catholic faith. My children were raised Catholic. I have stressed the importance of returning to their faith, especially in these times. They have strayed away. The younger generation does not want to suffer or carry their Cross. It is too much of a burden. I was speaking to my younger two kids. I tell them I carry my Cross, I suffer for a reason. God makes your faith stronger through these aspects. When we face the next obstacle, through God's grace we can get through it. My daughter calls me a strong woman and I told her only through God. My oldest doesn't listen to anybody, calls himself Catholic but does not practice his faith in any way shape or form. Deliberately chooses the wrong thing to do. I pray for him especially. We are not automatically saved for being Catholic. We all have to carry our Crosses. We are all a work in progress. What really needs to be taught in our Catholic Churches is spiritual warfare. Especially with the younger generation who are more easily swayed to choose the wrong path. They don't realize that there really is a battle for their souls. Please pray for my kids. God Bless!

St. Padre Pio pray for us!

Thank you father Mark. I’ve visited padre Poi’s tomb many times. It’s always very emotional.

Timely video, Fr. I am searching for true, and timeless Catholicism that does not conform to the zeitgeist. There is not only a conspiracy of silence to contend with but also the preaching of a false Gospel. Dear servant of God, Padre Pray for our holy priests.

Thank you Fr. Mark, this is exactly what I was talking about last week, that my Catholic education had been way watered down compared to my parents and that this had put me and my generation in grave danger. I spoke about the same thing to the Pastor at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral here in Montreal, and he said “Watered down with honey”. That generation of Priests kept saying “God is love! God is love!”, never talking about Hell or sin, or Devil, Demons and the Battle for our Soul. This not only makes me angry but very upset, and I’m reminded of Matthew 18:6! We must put our generation back on track!

This sums everything up. Pope Pius XI said: "These manifold evils in the world were due to the fact that the majority of men had thrust Jesus Christ and his holy law out of their lives; that these had no place either in private affairs or in politics: and we said further, that as long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations.

Conspiracy of Silence … now more than ever our voices need to be heard. Saint Padre Pio pray for us ! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

...conspiracy of silence...yes, indeed...and when I speak up, truly with love & concern...I'm the "bad one."...but, at the very least, I sleep well & know I tried to sow a seed for our Savior. ✝️

Dear Father Mark God truly put you here on Earth especially for this time. THANK YOU❣ AND GOD BLESS YOU❣🕊🕊🕊🙏

Thank you, Fr. Mark. I follow your brief messages everyday. I cannot put into words what they mean to me and what you have helped me through. You are a man of God; may He bless you now and always. Salutations from Panamá.

Fr. Mark, I'm so grateful for your words to us each day! God bless you!

Love St. Padre Pio

My children age 27 and 30 have both left the faith. They were raised in the Church but changed after returning from college. I My husband and I have long talks with them to no avail. I am heart broken and pray for them daily. Today is a bad day...I am very sad and cried this morning. I worry for their salvation. Thanks for you inspiration Father Mark. Our crosses come in different forms but are difficult none the less !

This Fr. Mark is a blessing for the world. It is fantastic to listen to him. His Faith is shining bright and with true colours.

Thank you Father Mark for sharing a beautiful message.

God bless you father for preaching the truth we appreciate your strength and courageousness

Thank you Fr Mark for being the perfect priest for these times

Dear Father Mark, thank you for your videos! You give us good solid Catholic teaching and, spiritual direction on our journey toward Christ ...You are always in my morning and, night prayers although I do not always comment on what I listen to.... Thank you for your Yes, to the priesthood. South Dakota USA❤🙏

Amen thank you father. I pray St. Pio accepts us all as his spiritual children

Evening father I appreciate your daily message. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Praise the Lord, Fr. Mark, your dad got to go to confession with St. Padre Pio! 😇👏🏼❤️🙏🏼💙📿 Luke 10:19, “Behold, I have given you the power ‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.” Amen. 😇🙏🏼👏🏼❤️✝️💙📿🌷🔥🕊

♥️ “If people knew the value of the Mass, there would be policemen at the door, to regulate access to the church, every time that a Mass is celebrated. The earth could exist more easily without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.” - St. Padre Pio Thank you Father Mark for being a true shepherd of the Lord, just like St. Padre Pio. ♥️ You are a Catholic Warrior. God bless you always!! St. Padre Pio, pray for us! 🙏🏼 ♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️

Padre Pio’s feast day is coming up later this month. Pray his novena leading up to it. What a great gift from God in him! Padre Pio, Ora pro Nobis! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏✝️💟😇

Oh do we need to hear these TRUTHS! Thank you Father for speaking them to us! ❤

Bless you father, in these stressful times your relaying these messages are so needed and appreciated.

Fr. Mark is charitable and scholarly. And most importantly: he is Totally Christ’s !!! Somebody fly this guy out to the States!

Nice one Fr.Mark Padre Pio intercede for us sinners amen

Lord, give us faith to move mountains; faith to walk as Catholics in the light of day in the midst of the world.

What a *GIFT* I was given to be able to venerate the relics of Saint Padre Pio. I got to touch my rosary to the relics. His love for the rosary is inspiring. *VIVA CHRISTO REY*

God protect us against the evil and give us the strength to face our end in the same way that the saints faced their end.

God bless Father Goring a true priest of God

Thank You Jesus for the beautiful council of Fr. Mark! Love and prayers Fr for you and all your holy intentions 🙏

Thank you so much for addressing this. As a retired academic, I truly understood why parents worried that college would take religion away from their children. They were wise to pray much for their precious children. I continue to pray for my former students, and for all students and their parents. Bless you Father, Dr. Francis-Clare Fischer

Thank you once again, Fr. Mark, for clearly and succinctly sharing this tremendously important yet very simple truth! St. Padre Pio, you said "My real mission will begin after my death."....please pray for us and our Catholic leaders. Viva Cristo Rey!!

Obedience, humility and chastity - these are needed now more than ever. Pray without ceasing. Great video Fr Goring.

St. Padre Pío 🙏 pray for us. VIVA CRISTO REY!!

Thank You Father Mark Viva Cristo Rey!

Sadly, there is a great deal of that going around right now......"conspiracy of silence".

St. Pio brought my wife and I together! We love him and we know he loves us and is praying for us!

Great message, well-presented - calling us Catholics out for not being Real in Faith, from lay folk thru the ministry and hierarchy. Back to Basics of Doctrines, Liturgy & Worship, Devotions, Works of Charity is truly what we all need more of, and less politics and empire-building.

St Pius Padre Pio is one of my favorite Saints! We pray for him to pray for us all the time. Thanks Fr Mark! God bless you

Amen Father Mark🙏🙏🙏✝️👍. I love St. Padre Pio and he performed a miracle for me when I went on my 1st pilgrimage to San Giovanni Retondo. He's my other spiritual Father after St. Joseph🙏🙏🙏✝️

Thanks you Mark for helping me start another day with the Lord. It makes my days go so much better. Thank you for taking the time to make such inspiring videos.

Praise God for giving our world Fr Mark😇🙏

Thank you father Mark for the message 🙏

As always Father, thank you so much for your devotion to your flock, which is absolutely learning humility without feeling the need to forever be a doormat! May His peace be always in you...your light without fail burns any bushel basket!

We need more Padre Pios and Father Marks in this world.

Hi Fr Mark my name is Karen from Ireland thank you for your great videos l really think your doing a wonderful job Fr God bless you many thanks

The conspiracy of silence regarding abortion and contraception on the part of our bishops is deafening.

Padre Pio , priest for his time, Father Goring, a priest for a time like this !! Love you Father Mark keep preaching and sharing ,!!🥰✝️

Viva Cristo Rey!

Blessing you Father Mark.

Fr. Mark, I am a Spiritual Warfare Warrior; I am constantly trying to tell my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ (that means all of them, both Catholic, Protestant, and non-denom) how serious and important it is for us to realize the reality of all that you just spoke about. Unfortunately, many think that's "too over the edge", and a bit "crazy"; I've been told, "I know you love God, Jeannette, but you take it (the Bible) too seriously." 😳🤦‍♀️ Really? I guess if they don't get a loving chastisement from the Lord before they go Home to see Him, they'll find out the hard way that ALL who name the Name of Christ is supposed to take ALL of what the Bible says, and what we were taught, seiously! Praise God for priests like St. Padre Pio, who was an awesome example of a selfless servant of God! God bless, brother!💖🙏

Thank you Fr. Mark

Thank you, Father Mark.

Feast day: September 23rd ❤ St. Padre Pio pray for us! Viva Cristo Rey! Amen.

Thank you Father. You have such great messages to share with us in these times. God Bless You!

The true church of Our Lord and the reason the evil one attacks it. ❣️🙏

I sorry lord for my sin, I’m weak I am sorry, I love you brother.

We do not have access to Holy Mass and most Blessed Holy Eucharist for two months now... please 🙏 pray for our Cardinal and bishops so they will have courage to Feed the 🐑🐏 protect the Sheep's and lead them to ONE and ONLY True GOD ALMIGHTY 🙏🙏 pls pray 🙏🙏

God Bless You Fr. Mark. Thank you for your Wonderful and Powerful and inspiring🕊️ video Since i was Young ive always liked St. Padre Pio. Over the years I've given to many people his Relics❤️ because I have great belief in them Pray, Hope and Don't Worry, St Padre Pio. St. Padre Pio Pray for us The devil is mighty but Our Lord God is Almighty🙏💙 St Pope John Paul ll Pray for us St Maryam of Bethlehem Pray for us Viva Cristo Rey🕊️

I went with my sister to her new house and could not find my keys for 2 hours for my car. I finally said let me have time and I will pray I prayed to St. Anthony and guess what I found my car keys! All Glory to God, I actually told the Bell guy and my sister let me go and pray and she witnessed it. She let me go and pray as my family thinks I am the NUN of the family. My parent's would actually say I was.

Thank you for this video Father Mark, we truly needed to hear this! Many blessings 🙏

And Jesus gave us YOU!!

How I love Saint Padre Pio! ❤ And I love when Father Mark says his name. Praised be Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Thank you Father Mark.

As a “mature Christian my prayer of Padre Pio is “Give to God the remaining years of your life Beg God to use them in a kind of life that is pleasing to Him “ Amen

since he brought up penance, I ask all who read this to fast bread and water on Wednesdays and Fridays for our Lady's intentions. Of course, if you cannot due to to medical or health reasons, you can do a spiritual fast, and give up tv on those days. Don't forget: Our Lady has asked us to pray for Fr. Mark and all priests, she says that they are the most tempted. Choose a priest and pray for him day and night. ❤️💙💛 Viva Cristo Rey!

You are so correct. Lukewarm clergy and laity moves the Faithful away from Holy Mother Church . St. Padre Pio was so spiritually alive, he was a good Shepherd and his inspirational life motivates others to Christ Jesus.

Thank you father mark....as the trials are increasing.......i needed this today! And the one yesterday! Thank the Lord.....he has made you such a good sheperd and i hope to hear his messages trough your mouth ( and heart) in these crucial times as long as possible. May the Lord keep you in lifted spirits and may you not loose your wonderful humour (hold my beer!)...... Love and "Viva Christo Rey " barbara from bavaria, germany

Father Mark! Thank you for this video! Powerful! Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!

Good words amidst a world that Fr. Goring would say has gone BONKERS.

Needed to hear this Thank you Father.

Thankyou Fr Goring 🙏

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ST. PADRE PIO....OFTEN GO HIS SHRINE,,,,,I DEFINITELY FEEL HIS PRESENCE EACH TIME I GO.....

You're so right, Fr. Mark God bless 🙏.

Father mark I thank God for you. I appreciate all that you do for us your words are greatly needed

Whenever you water down anything that is good, you always get something inferior to the original.

Thank you Father🙏🙏

Fr Mark, you are a blessing. Thank you so much for the perennial message of the Traditions of the church,

Thanks, Fr. Mark

“The gospel lives in communication with the culture. If the church falls silent, the gospel falls silent. We must be fearless in the information revolution.” John Paul ||

For many years here in England the churches I frequent do not in their homilies make mention of the existence of Hell and very little mention of Purgatory. We need to wake ourselves up sometimes to realise YES they do exist. God bless you all 🙏

St padre pio pray for us all

An inspiring reminder

Excellent, yet again, Father. Right on every count. Thank you s much for your strong voice shouting the Truth in the wilderness of modernism.

When I listen to this I get terrified. Judgement day will be terrible. We are so thirsty for worldly approval. We are truly the virgins without oil in our lamps.

We need more priests like Padre Pio!

Amen thanks be to God

Thanks Father Mark!

Thank you I concur wholeheartedly
