You said it for all of us, we aren't leaving either!!!!!!

Amen!

Love your enthusiasm, I'm no leaving either.

Came back to the Catholic faith after taking a detour of sin. 17 years away. Jesus Christ entered into my heart and am now back. It will take more than satan to get me away from the faith.

@@stpatrick614 welcome home! 🙏

I will pray for them. You must not discouraged. God can do anything.

Praying.

Mine too, with my daily rosary I bind all my children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This gives me great peace of mind.

@@christophe5238 I read that Saint Augustine's mother was repetitively going to her priest and begging him to help with her son. Saint Augustine was drinking and gambling and chasing women. The priest finally told her that she needed to talk MORE to GOD about her son and less to her son about GOD. Well, there must be something to THAT bit of advice, because, Saint Augustine is not only a SAINT he is a doctor of the Catholic Church!!!! I gave each of my children to our Dear Lady, when they were born, a couple of them THOUGHT they were going to leave the church, when they were younger, but Our Lady had other plans!!! She is so very GOOD to us, how I love HER!!! PRAY, GOD BLESS!!

Every day I try to pray the Stations for the Poor Souls and ask them to also intercede for my intentions. Your children are now one of those intentions.

Amen

How can a priest leave the lord What else do they have to do Your church is full of nonbelievers just faking it

@@waltermromanoff349You mean hypocrites.

@@waltermromanoff349 What are you talking about?

Tom, I am trying to do what you do, wake up every morning and read a snippet of bible, or at least an ancient prayer, or listen to a homily from Franciscan Friars or Sensus fidelium. You are so right, the Catholic faith and salvation "It is not to be toyed with or taken lightly. " so so true. Ave Maria.

@@Dean-qt3rp God will help us with all our spiritual goals on only one condition: we ask for His grace to accomplish them. "Not of works lest any man should boast..."

@@tomsaltsman Yes Tom. That is the exact point of today's gospel. Heading to Latin Mass now. Preread last night. Ave Maria.

For tomorrow, read the ten commandments in the bible and then in the Catechism!

Tom Saltsman where can i get the CCC

Marie Dobbins it’s a gift , really. This man is APPOINTED.

@@immaggiethesenilegoldenret7918 Amen!!!#

Yes... Cooperate with GRACE. Sounds simple... But I fear that we all suffer from "varying degrees of belief", which can plunge us into lukewarmness.. The man is blessed !

@@paulg.9256 Oh yes, it's not simple. But knowing what I know now, needless to say my life would be different. Fr. Mark at such a young age has a tremendous life. I subscribe to all of his channels & have watched, listened & learned from his earliest videos. What I see is a Godly, Spirit filled man who " chose and chooses the better ". Despite all of my failings. God has blessed me beyond anything that I deserve even when I rejected His Grace.

Wow, you people are blessed with such a priest. Mass, Adoration, Confession every day!

I'm from Ireland to. Can I ask what church and were it is. God bless

We're all sinners but must always pray for forgiveness.

Tu Dinh I’m an addict in recovery; believe me-I GET the “struggling with sin.” You’re HUMAN. Were the reason why Jesus died on the Cross. He had a special place for the likes of us in His heart.

Angelikka X and NOT to repeat the same sin. We do that by living as Jesus wants us to.

Sometimes it feels like I’m taking two steps forward and three steps backwards. I go to confession deeply embarrassed and ashamed of my sin just be weak and commit it again. I’m going to attempt to visit Eucharistic adoration chapel from now on to ask for more grace and strength to overcome the daily temptations.

Tu Dinh don’t be hard on yourself, keep perservering. God will perfect you if you seek Him. Trust and peace.

AMEN!!!

Paul Beduhn We participate in the sacrament that Jesus instituted. Read John chapter 6. To deny Jesus's command is to deny eternal life that it brings. Jesus is a priest of the order of Melchizedek. Heb 5:6. A priest offers sacrifice. Jesus is both priest and sacrifice, offering sacrifice daily. 1 Cor 11:23-26, Malachi 1:11.

Paul Beduhn Which part do you not understand/believe? Of Jesus's own words. You too, with the disciples who left him do not believe him. We must eat his flesh for everlasting life. He told us his flesh is REAL food we are to eat. Christ's sacrifice on the cross DID atone our sins. Opening the gate to heaven. But it doesn't PUT us there. HE SAID we need to feed on his eternal life. You don't have a quarrel with me. I didn't say that. Jesus did. Go ahead refuse his infinite gift of eternal life at your own peril. David chapter 9 relates the time of the destruction of the temple and temple sacrifice. AD 70.

Paul Beduhn Do you take the Bible literally or figuratively? No six days of creation, no Flood of Noah, not a literal devil, not a literal hell, not a literal death on the cross, not a literal Resurrection. What criterion do you use to interpret Bible verses? The Bible itself? Or an external authority? Your own interpretation? The Holy Spirit? Each has different interpretation. Some say Baptism is essential Mk 16:16, some say not. Does Baptism remove sins? Is the Bible the pillar of truth? No. The Church is the pillar of truth. 1 Tom 3:15. Bible says no to private interpretation. 2 Pet 1:20. Christ gave us his Church, the Magisterium to keep us on the straight, so we don't follow everyone's own revelation. You are picking verses to different events to postulate your own beliefs over the Bible. I'm glad Jesus established his Church to protect the Bible from wrong interpretation. He knows what he's doing. You deny the very heart of Christ's Church, the sacrifice of the Mass. A Holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 Pet 2:5.

Paul Beduhn YES. The Apostles did literally eat the flesh of the Son of God. Jesus said my flesh is REAL FOOD. REAL as in REAL. God says so, you say no way. God is a Liar. You say He didn't say it? It right there. You're blind. Blind in your heart mind and soul. And again you say the opposite, the church is not true. THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR OF TRUTH. 1 Tim 3:15. You must be standing on your head. Your god is not the real God. Your god is a figment of your imagination. A small god with no church and no gift of eternal life of real food for the soul to fit in your small imagination. My God is more powerful and loving than your god.

Paul Beduhn Christ is the head of his church and he appointed a man to lead it on earth. Matt 16:18,19. Who says Christ speaking metaphorically in John 6? You? WRONG. Church teaches Christ means what he says. You or the Church? Easy one. The Church.

I agree... my kids go to catholic school and hardly any catholic education. They don’t teach them morals.. etc..They don’t even have a bible as part of their school books.. very sad... 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

It’s the same in college No leadership or guidance That’s why 90 percent of Catholics don’t practice If Jesus is the way why pray to Saints Mary and idols

Walter M Romanoff 🙏🏻💛🙏🏻

We (parents and students) must demand these schools stay accountable. Many Catholic Universities preach more heresies than they do actual practice of church dogma.

Sarah Brennan Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior Have you been born again Do you praise and worship Jesus Do you love reading the Bible Do you look forward to going to church Then you are on your way to heaven

Catholics are blind and can’t see Lost and not found You need to be born again A spiritual rebirth Except Jesus as your lord and savior He is the way not a church from Italy Learn your bible Find a church with a pastor and good Christians Stop worshiping Mary the pope statues idols and praying to the dead 💀 in purgatory That’s the occult You really think Jesus died on the cross so evil popes in Italy can change his teachings and mislead his people

A Catholic Wife. Yes, beauty and worship from the Traditional Latin Mass. Sung High Mass is best!

Marc Crotty yes!! We are so privileged to have the High TLM offered every Sunday. We drive 3 hours round trip to attend the Extraordinary Form. It is worth every minute & mile to worship the Lord in such a beautiful way. I pray that one day the Ordinary Form will be returned to what it was always supposed to be. Pax Christi ~ ✨ Deena

Need some good sources?

wow good luck!

sanalzam1 I agree with your comments

This is indeed what is missing in the Catholic Church, organizing systematic Bible studies straight after confirmation. Currently, the confirmation is like the end of everything, people being abandoned to themselves and nobody caring about their journey of faith when it should be the moment of deepening.

Now, that will never happen, the ones on top know, if they start to study scripture, a great percentage will leave the RCC, because they finally see the truth!

No man is Holy We are all sinners Jesus died for our sins He did not die so we could pray to his Mommy and rot in purgatory You have been deceived The gates to heaven are narrow Jesus said my people perish for lack of knowledge or for following false teachings The Catholic Church worships Satan and the occult Look it up Vatican is decorated to worship Satan The Catholic Church tells us Mary is queen of heaven They tell us she is our mother Jesus never said these things If he did he would have been stoned as a false prophet He fulfilled old teachings in the Old Testament Jesus said come to me with the faith of a child Search for the truth you will find it Learn the Bible Open your mind and question things you were taught Good luck

Exactly my thought!

Do you have a relationship with Jesus or with th Roman Catholic Church? Jesus said follow me I am the way The Catholic Church says follower the mother goddess worshiping cult Pray to Mary Saints idols Statues and the dead in purgatory

Get out of the smoke, You are right in the Center!

Bless you. Dint beat yourself up. Declare scripture as fir ne and NY house we will ser e the lord. Pray God reveals the way for them and makes there paths straight. At least they're in church I wasn't until in my 30s raised catholic and v anti and rebellious as a tern. God showed his prescience and fascination a plan for our individual journeys. I still van strain at the ropes bit thank God he never leaves me and it doesn't mean I let go. We have to wrestle our faith out with the lord individually I'm sure that will happen. Pray doe my brothers as they do not acknowledge jesus as lord and saviour all middle class raise Catholics. God bless you hope you dont mind my message

I too was a fallen away catholic turned big screen evangelical for years. I would go, loved the music, people, felt inspired and uplifted. I even tried to get my mother, a catholic, to go, and she would say, "ok, I will go with you, but Im going to church afterward" lol. Meaning the real church, a catholic mass.. I reverted back to the 1 true church after years of feeling inspired yet still hungry and thirtsy in the evangelical world. And i never looked back. I am now a traditional catholic, attending a latin mass church, or reverent novus ordo churches. Get your kids green scapulars and st benedict medals, have them blessed by an fssp priest. And just continue to pray for their conversions. They will come back.

As a child I always asked my mum and dad... if it’s a calling from god... why do they have to get a degree 😀

@@sarahbrennan1342 Off the cuff so they can understand what we teach and keep up with the Lord who doesn't need a PhD. Its like the Queen of England, she doesn't need a license or passport because she is the Queen, seriously and chuckle, chuckle.

Jesus is a doctor, though. He's the Great Physician. : )

@@sweetnsourchick1761Yes he is that's my point. They are making a point that our Lord doesn't have a formal PhD. That's what they were referring to. Our Lord is phenomenally gifted without a piece of paper. God Bless.

Catherine Yarton they haven’t got enough priests here to run parishes... they have priests traveling to do masses outside town... have a good week 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Interesting times. Trump, Republican, non-Catholic = Pro life. Biden, Democrat, Catholic = Pro death. Majority of US bishops = Democrats. CATHOLICS FOR TRUMP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@tonytony131 Yes these are interesting, inexplicable times, with a black mass openly being said this evening Saturday Aug 17, 2019 in Ottawa canada. Majority of Bishops - dead silence. I would expect our democrat friends to be totally down with this, "its freedom, right!?" even though it is Canadian...with democrats, all is good, if you can call it 'freedom'.
