I am praying for you Donna. That you have the Strength and Peace given to us by Jesus Christ, Our most Merciful Savior. I pray The Divine Mercy of Jesus, through the intercession of St. Faustina, (the Apostle and Secretary of the unfathomable Mercy of Jesus), give you the Peace and Strength that ONLY Jesus can give.

Praying for you Donna.

Thank you .I don’t really like people praying for me when I know there are others especially children whose need is greater than mine.

I was told that I had terminal cancer but my latest scan was negative. My church sent me to Lourdes and to meet the Pope in Rome

Prayers to you and family. 🙏🙏🙏

I'm proud of you, God continues to be with you always, it's us that we leave. Continue your path, prayer for you.

Amen

Well done Phillip! Greetings from Wales. IESU BENDIGEDIG! (Wonderful Jesus.)

Well done Philip. May God bless you. You are an inspiration to all addicts. It's almost impossible to turn one's life around without the help of Jesus.

And pray for gamblers.

Pray for all people who are addicted. There are so many types of addiction. God have mercy on us all.

It is so sad that protestants besmirch the Catholics who devoutly display the Corpus crucifix, and our religious statues as well. I am no longer a practicing Catholic because I will not embrace the post Vatican ll changes. Sadly, when I did find traditional Catholic churches that I could attend, only to discover that there was an almost bitter and jealous competition between them. The final blow was to discover that the lack of accountability led to other abuses of power. I am now a fallen away Catholic who truly believes that the Chair of Peter is vacant. My son is a Protestant and a pastor of a church. We do not debate the various differences, but I know he is adheres to a strict moral code and a deep love of our Lord. He is an amazing son, husband, father and pastor. The best we can do is to love the Lord with our whole hearts and to judge not lest we be judged.

😊😅

I'm in awe every time I think about what our wondrous Savior ✝ did for us.😞

Jesus walked up carrying the cross without shoes!! He suffered for the sake of us. Lord Jesus, you are the king of kings and the Lord of Lords. GOD Almighty FATHER PRAY FOR US 🙏❤ ✝️ 🇺🇸 🙏

I have a novena. It's a year long one. Our lord and saviour Jesus Christ give it to saint Brigid of Sweden. He's promised great graces with it. Those who recite it say 5480 prayers by the end of the year and that is a prayer for each blow he received! You truly pray for every blow during his sorrowful passion. However instead of just s year I'm considering it a lifelong novena.

Cuba and Haiti

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes, I've been praying for them 🙏🏽

Cuba and Haiti most of their people put their faith and practice Santaria. Prayers for those countries so they can turn their faith back to God.

Definitely!

I have a plastic rosary from Medjugorje that I take into the MRI machine (it’s not magnetic). It hangs on my bedpost and I sleep with it every night………

It was a gift of love and faith to you. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.

My favorite rosary is the little plastic one. I go to sleep with it around my hand

I have a plastic rosary from Lourdes. It came with a candle, prayer card for the rosary and a card touched to the stone of the grotto. I was there as a teenager, but those things were a parent's thing and didn't trickle down. Too expensive, probably. There were 5 children.

A plastic rosary is what got me back into the faith

May St. Anne , Our Lady , St. Felicitas , St. Symphorosa b with U at this time!!! Divine Infant Please Intercede for a Safe, Healthy Delivery!!!✝️😇😍

Love God and not your Religion it's a out relationship !😮

@@berdellfleming5074 .. she loves God through her faith . she has a relationship with the Lord

@@mikeonojo6789.. it is not contrary to the faith . so where is the harm if it increases ones love for God

I’ve really fallen in love with our Catholic Church and her Sacraments. I’m just a little younger than you and my faith is stronger now than ever. I couldn’t imagine life without our Church. God Bless you!

Which denomination identifies you? And how did you learn the rosary?

@@josephhabib7602 what is a denomination? You mean like Baptist, or Catholic, or something like that? No, I was called to Christ through His Mother, Mary. Christ is more than any denomination. I got Jesus, so, if the rules don't apply then they don't apply. LOL

AWESOME

My the lord God bless you.

If you are Christian you are Catholic ( look up the meaning of catholic} in this case these folk are Roman- as in Roman Catholic-

@Pickles No Mustard Alphonsus not Adolphus

Nice prayer

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.

What was cool was finding your post as I was seeking....thank you @Rick V my brother in Christ. 🙏❤

How beautiful. Thank you for sharing. God bless. 🙏🙏🙏

YES... that's VERY TRUE sign of the CROSS KEEPS YOU AWAY from any IMPENDING BAD SITUATIONS like car accidents etc etc

Me too.

If Jesus was kill by an axe would a pendant of an axe protect you. The bible warns against using any images in worship.

@@stevei1761 Who said we worship the images? Do you not display photos of your loved ones? Have you ever looked at a photo of a deceased or absent loved one and spoke to that photo to feel a closeness to that person? Come on! Lighten up...Catholics do not worship graven images. “Let he who is without guile cast the first stone.”

Thank you for sharing this information with us all and to share with us . Thanksgiving fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤❤❤God bless us all and Jesus for dying on the cross his crucifixition for us all thank you . 3 different woods fiat fiat fiat imir wood above Jesus head king of the Jews 3 languages .

I'm sorry I'm 29 and I always think about that day hopefully I see him for enternity when I leave this world.. god bless you

That’s a sweet and thought provoking answer. When Catholics look at the Crucifix we get a reminder of the essence of salvation, victory over evil, Gods love for us, our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Shalom,Haleluyah,The true name of God is Yahweh,&Elohim,god love human beings because all human beings are sinners and god became man through Mariam the holiest woman always pray to god Yahweh,and when he became man his name is Yeshua Hamashiach&Jesus and died on the Cross for the Remission of our sins,for whom ever believe on him will surely got forgiveness of sins,and we must ask Abba Yahweh for his Ruach Haqodesk to guide us So that became strong faith in god Yahweh through his son Yeshua sela Amen,we are save and we must be Baptise in god name Yahweh,and in Yeshua Hamashiach name,and in Ruach Haqodesk&Holy Spirit,sela Amen.if we won't get Baptise in this way,none hope in salvation,sela Amen,Thanks to all believers in Yeshua Hamashiach the real name of god's son,Amen.

@@luischinyung3891 Jesus Christ IS God!

@@southernlady1109 The real name of Jesus is Yeshua Hamashiach mention in Hebrew Bible,not Jesus,we must use his real name guys,Jesus is invented name change by Lucifer followers,sela Amen,god real name is Yahweh&Elohim he became man and his name Yeshua not Jesus,his name was change by Roman Catholic,so if you don't believe you check on Hebrew Bible the original Bibles so you check the Bible before you believe the real name of Yeshua Hamashiach,Praise Yeshua, Amen.

@@luischinyung3891 Jesus Christ is God The Sons name. His name came from God The Father and it means Savior. The Catholic Church gave The Holy Bible to the world. This is history. I don’t converse with KZfaq trolls.

Point taken. Always best to look at the big picture. Never through a keyhole. I like this interpretation. Highly plausable. Besides which, Egos played a huge part. Just like today

To say that Pilot initiated the death of Jesus is true; after being egged in by the Sanhedrin. You have your facts right, although the Jews have never wanted to admit that it was they had Jesus crucified. In fact, the average jew had no say so...it's always the honchos who make the big decisions, in this case the Sanhedrin who were actually the law of the land & were generally the most wealthy.

Glad I read through the comments- as mine would have mirrored yours. I always thought Pilate gets somewhat of a bad rap- he was in a position of no win- his job was to keep order. He personally spoke to Jesus, had him scourged to appease the mob, offered Barabbas as a substitute, then washed his hands- all seem to me to be saying Jesus did nothing to deserve crucifixion. He also refused to change the sign to appease those who hated Jesus, which to me was flipping a finger to them. The REAL irony here if you listen to Dr. Brant Pitre's lecture on the hidden identity of Jesus and Joseph, in which he explains why the Gospel of Matthew starts out with genealogy, is that Joseph, and then Jesus were in direct lineage of King David. This would mean that in fact, Jesus truly was the king of the Jews, which would even magnify the slam on the Jewish leaders- more so than Pilate. Unknown to Pilate or the Jewish leaders- they forced him to have their own earthy king crucified! The richness of our catholic faith is sometimes almost overwhelming!

They said “ don’t make it say He is King of the Jews , but rather that He SAID He was king of the Jews “ Pilate said “ what it says is what it says “ ( don’t care if you don’t like it )

Does anybody know what it means to become a follower of Christ ? How to deny themselves? AND how to take up their Cross daily ? How to follow Christ ?

@@fritula6200 Put God first and foremost, not the other earthly things that make our lives, and to hold on to and stand with the truths of the Lord's teachings even if it means you are persecuted.

@@fritula6200 These are GOOD questions to contemplate always. It would be a good exercise to discuss these with others without judgement or pride. I think that the answers to the specifics changes as we change. Here are some ideas. To be a follower of Christ is to have ACCEPTED what he has done for the removal of our sins. To take this gift of new life seriously, with deep gratitude in our hearts. Saying “Thank you Jesus!Thank you Jesus!” always, under our breath. Dedicate yourself and everything you are and do toJesus first thing in the morning, with a sign of the cross. Ask Jesus for his help in drawing closer to him. Know that all prayers that are asked according to his Will are answered. Seek to be changed. “Seek first the Kingdom of heaven, and all will be given.” Jesus takes us just as we are, sins included, but for own good, we need to remember that he came to take away the sins of the world which are blocks to our relationship with him. In the end, we cannot serve 2 masters. To be a follower of Christ means to strive to be like him. So we do as he did. We get away from the crowd regularly and talk to His and our God. We do this to get help, strength, direction, rest, and to feel His Love. I have to run now. Hope this helps. Thank you for the opportunity. I hope others answer too. There is much more . . . .but following happens in an instant. The Kingdom is close at hand!

According to the gospel writings Jesus may not have carried a ‘ wooden cross ‘ even 10 feet, yet none the less Jesus indeed did ‘ carry His cross ‘

I am an Adorer of the Christ of God, our Main Man, and him the risen Word of God. 3AM for an hour on Friday-Saturday nights in Immaculate Conception of Cedar Rapids, IA. We don't worship the Bible, or the cross... or Mary, super nice as all these and many other people and things of this place are. We worship the Creator, the Son and the Soul of God aka the Holy Spirit.

The cross was the traditional way of execution in those days and not a symbol of Christianity. If Jesus was executed by electric chair would you have worn that on your neck and hung that on your walls?

@@Natalie-fj7fs The Christian wears the symbol of the Cross of Christ, a symbol of God's free gift of eternal life with Him to all through Jesus Christ. The cross was a symbol of torture and death. But Jesus, by what he did on that cross, turned it into a symbol of self-sacrifice, salvation and glorification of God. Christians are identified with the Cross of Christ as a Jew is identified by the Star of David and the Muslims the Crescent and Star. Your "if" scenario is moot as Jesus died on a cross.

Very beautifully put.

I was taught that we venerate the cross and adore Jesus by prayers said

@william Ferrell I was away from church came back and I'm so so in love with my faith. The more I learn the more I feel closer to God. May he bless you brother and always keep you close to the one true church!

@@empackmanmueller1725 Welcome Home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Am also a mature revert. I have decided to invest time in learning my Catholic Faith. The more I learn, the more am falling in love with my beautiful Church..

Yah I cud jst imagine this one-- been like carrying this cross over the 4 decades alredy n I have been carrying his cross up to the present moment. 😢😢😢

There is a beautiful prayer @ to JESUS most Excruciating pain on His shoulder

Old loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most sacred wound of thy shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore thy Flesh and laid bare thy bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other wound of thy most Blessed Body I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful. I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most Sacred and painful wound; beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the way of Thy Cross. Amen

How could the wound in His side ‘ hurt ‘ when it was inflicted after He had been dead for some time?

Great idea!

🔥❤️

Wow amazing!! God be praised

Wow what a awesome way to surrender our lives in the hands of Jesus

That was a wonderful action on your part. What comfort for her.

What a beautiful memory. Sorry for the loss of your mom...thoughts & prayers🙏❤❤

Read The Incredible Catholic Mass. This book reveals all. The Mass is completely wonderful after reading this book. God Bless

@@williammann6198 I know the all the items and their purposes and names but I thought it would make a good episode.

When I was growing up I knew the names of the Priest and Nuns robes.I knew the names of everything that was used in Mass and Benediction.I knew everything that needed to be known. Do you think God will remember all these things ? I’m sure he will now that I’m coming to the end of my life….

When I was young I was taught about the robes worn and of all different colours . I was also taught about all aspects of the Masses.I’ve forgotten now that I am 75 but no doubt I will remember when I see them or when I am prompted.

​@@donnamachugh9493 I think we will be judged on our acts of faith, hope and charity. Hopefully we will have enough acts of those virtues to offset any faults.❤❤❤

@Dianna when a friend of mine once worked for an insurance Co. She told us the loudest in court were usually the guilty ones"

Why are you mocking another denomination? 😒 There are 3 reasons that I am questioning my Catholic up bringing. I went to Catholic school from 1 - 12. I'm still a Catholic but with what the Church has become makes me upset. 1st - These Priests that raped our children just got moved to another Parish. Everything was hushed up. 2 - The Vatican knew all about this. These Priests should have been stripped of their Priesthood and put to jail. They are no better than any rapist that belongs in jail. The Vatican covered it up. This bothers me. Also, to me, the Catholic Church services are mundane, Week to week. Never really getting deep into Our Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe your church is different. Don't get me wrong I have Jesus in my heart. My Father in my heart. The Holy Spirit and Our Mother in my heart. I pray daily, I say the Rosary daily. My Love for my Lord Jesus overwhelms me. I don't know maybe my Priests just don't how to be Priests. That's why I stopped going. I'm learning about Born again.

Where is the rosary in the bible

​@@alberthaguapi1785 it's not. But why would it need to be? It's just a tool for counting prayers. It's not magic. And the prayers are either from scripture or based on scripture.

That’s not funny.

It is hilarious. Kids say the darndest things....

Thanh you. I will replay this episode so I can absorb it more fully

I so very much can relate... dnt u jst LAAAAAVVV these 3 Kings (I mean 3 Fathers). I do have a question tho to ask the 3 Fathers, can anyone of u answer this question "Is saying or uttering 'Que-o-ror' really a mortal sin?" As far as I know it's not as BAD as saying a bad word like madda F or son-of-a-B**** its jst a figure of speech, am I right or am i RIGHT?

God bless you amen

Hello Barb and Bert. I am praying for you in the powerful name of Christ Jesus, our loving Saviour and Lord. I too value the Catholic Talk Show. From Anne L

How is your husband today ? My husband is alive in heaven waiting for me . Heaven is sooo BEAUTIFUL!!!

Very good of you! Keep it up, especially during temptations. Lives of saints can help you a lot to stand by your decision. One of these saints was St John Bosco. I’m publishing a weekly KZfaq video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you

@@chrisjohnson5640 I am a catholic I love Mary I believe in God. I follow the true church I have the sacraments I am good . That is protestant garbage not scripture at all

I'm so sorry that you had a terrible example of a priest. Please know that our Blessed Mother wants to help you pray. When you say the rosary, you are holding her hand as she shows you her Son. On behalf of that bad priest, please except my apologies. You are in my prayers and I hope that you will find peace in prayer

Keep praying the rosary. It is powerful. It changes us and those we pray for in ways we do not know. That priest, was trying to get you to be married in the Catholic Church - his manner was wrong, but his intent MAY have been good. The end never justifies the means. Praying the rosary is a good/God thing. I am sorry that you were hurt.

That’s appalling!! Pope Francis does not say that. He welcomes you and asks his priests and us to welcome you - that you should feel part of the community.

Strike a blow for poor catechesis. Please forgive this ill informed priest. Mary wants all of humanity to pray the rosary.

Praying the rosary is sacrificial prayer. Saying the same words over and over seems boring. Why not say it once and done. That’s the sacrifice part. Will not God just need one time? Why don’t we ask Him?

Type the first few words of the prayer in your browser and it should come up.

Buy the Pieta prayer booklet, so many wonderful prayers and Novenas plus the prayer honoring the shoulder wound of Jesus. I gave that booklet to all of my family for Christmas.

The Pieta, here, too.

Very good observation. I agree.

agreed!!

exactly. He was handing Jesus back to the jews, as them crucifying Him, because he washed his hands of the whole affair and understood his wife's warning from her dream. He handed the injustice he knew was happening, back to the people who yelled, "Let His blood be on our heads and on the heads of our children". Pilate was washing his hands of 'it', the curse, yet again.

Some crosses have ІНЦІ or ΙόΝόΒτΙ, depending on the language of worship.

Good afternoon from Texas!

Good afternoon from Calgary

Listening from Ireland, too 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪

According to what I read in the gospels, Jesus may not have carried a ‘ wooden cross ‘ or even the crossbar, as much as ten feet. Simon the Cyrene carried it for Him.

Oh i like that! "Why do you have Jesus still on the cross?, he was resurrected!" Reply "why do you have a cross without Jesus, did the wood of the cross die for you?"

@@Navygrl58 If I may step in, it sounds very much like Ducky was agreeing with you. When Protestants ask you that question about why we still have Jesus on the cross, there's a good reply to give to them.

@@julieelizabeth4856 You very well might be right and I read it out of context and for that I’ll apologize to Ducky and will delete my comment. Thank you good friend!

@@mrsducky3428 Good response.

Yes Diane, seeing Jesus on the cross reminds us to take up our crosses. I am less likely to complain about insignificant life circumstances when I see his example and love. Complete surrender is manifested in Jesus.

Why not try reading the Bible?

@@mariosaagius7971 : Your comment makes no sense! Catholics not only read the Bible, we PRAY the Bible.

Thank you for the info.

How terrible
