Whoa. I so needed this. Bless you

Your so right but somobidy forgot to tell your brother preists and Biahops. The so called lies are much more of a reality. I have read and studied LG especially chapter 4. Unfortunately cannon law contradicts much of chapter 4. In no way does a typical catholic preist act as if the layity are coequal in carrying out the great commission.

We need more teachings like this!!!!! Thank you!

Depression and anxiety/panic disorders are horrible. I try to offer it up

I heard from people when they go online to search for God they feel painful n attack from these call words of God.

Hi Gopher Catholic, you might want to review my books "Best Christian Art" or "Medical Reformation. I'm making videos about the books at my YT channel, Peter Rogers MD. Best wishes.

I needed to hear this, I cannot emphasis how much I needed it. Thank you

I had situational and/or postpartum depression before Effexor (SNRI). 10 years later and off this poison, I am a husk of a human. I don't want to live. Afraid I'm sinning because I can't feel love and I can hardly do anything - because of overwhelming fear and anxiety. There is no help. Prayers not really helping. Or maybe without my pathetic prayers I'd be dead already...

What a beautiful, touching insight! Thank you for sharing, Father:).

If we don't have hope for the future, we just don't have any power in the present ❤️ Hope is oxygen for the soul; It keeps us going

As I gaze upon my double fisted 5’s I reflect on the many birthdays of my children, when I told them to proudly hold up their handful of fingers when they turned 5 years old. I look at the two hands that I hold up and they hold a lot more years than just what my hands represent. There has been a lot of years that have been lived in those hands. I gaze upon the picture and I can still see a glimpse of the little girl that I once was when I too held up my one fisted five. But I also see the wearing of time on my face and hands which is a reminder of the beauty of a life that has been lived. One full of love, happiness, work, sacrifice, joy and some sorrow. All life contains these elements and all life leads to an older self. I can focus on this deterioration of my outward self or I can look at all the beauty that has happened in my life that has allowed myself to mature and make me into who I am today. As I age I often question and ask God, what His purpose for me is and am I being shaped into what He intended for me? The beauty in aging has been growing in relationship to understand and see what God is trying to do in my life. I have discovered that I am and always have been like soft clay in His hands and He is shaping me into His masterpiece. All I have ever had to do was allow Him to do the work. In my younger years I didn’t understand this process, but as I age, He is revealing to me, that this is what He has been doing my whole life with all the events, good and bad, shaping me into His masterpiece. Even though on the outside, I may be looking a little worn and distorted, I can feel on the inside He is creating something that is for now being hidden by the roughness and weathering of the process of His artistry. Someday when the timing is right, He will take away the veil of His finished product and reveal His masterpiece; the work of His hands of who He created me to be. All I had to do my whole life was to be the putty and allow Him to shape me into His beautiful creation. Thank you God for choosing me to be in your gallery. Thank you for being the great artist of who You are. I love you. ❤️ Hi Father! I loved your homily! I just wrote this on June 10th on my 55th birthday! I thought it went well with your homily! Have a great day and God Bless You!

Sometimes it just creeps up on you, especially with trauma. That’s just a way of God telling you wants you too love him more

Thank you very much for this. I needed to hear it. God bless you

Well, it's REALLY difficult to find that three things for people like me living in Turkey as a Catholic Christian. I've been in huge existential struggle since I know myself. In 2013, I found Jesus by totally his grace. I'm still in that struggle yet I realised anymore it is my cross for penance of mine and others in the world. I have a HUGE pain. But I AM SURE everything is in God's control. This has to be this way. So thank God for this amazing Cross=Grace God help me, and you my beloved siblings in Christ, please pray for me to our Holy Mother and our Holy God ✝️

Thank You Fr! Makes perfect sense. Baby step it. Start by making small habitual prayers same time every day that gradually increase until eventually we pray w/o ceasing w/o even thinking about it. As a bonus this method will most likely increase the virtue of humility. Instead of making a big change all at once (something my pride wants) we do it in small increments. I'm hoping to someday get to the point that my self-talk during the day and what the day brings my way to be transformed to prayers of listening to the counsel of The Most Holy Trinity.

Thank you Fr. Jake.

great guidance Fr balance is so improtant

Bring back Altar rails

No problem with me being traditional and charismatic. My understanding of being Catholic is being universal or all-embracing in our expression of our faith and love for the Lord just as his love for us is boundless and eternal. So we should tread every avenue that would lead us to Christ whether it's in the left, right, center, above, below, front, behind or within.

Lovely Homily Father! Jesus I trust in you! Hi from the Gockowski’s :)

If you are under spiritual attack, then research to Rosary, and learn to pray it everyday. As Fr Gabriel Amorth Vatican chief exorcist said “anyone who goes to Mary and prays Her Rosary cannot be touched by satan” Learn this exercise early in life and life will go so much easier on you, trust me I’ve learned the hard way.

Its so long, so chronic...unending. And yet he keeps receiving. Thank you

by the way it is metaphysically inappropriate to receive on the hand and the Novus Ordo is scandalous and all priests must return to the latin mass. the NO was designed by a Free Mason Bugnini and 8 protestants to most likely water down the idea of the eucharist and welcome in the culture of pluralism into the Church- hence why 80%+ of Catholics are in mortal sin and reject fundamental teaching of the faith- because they want pluralism

Nice video, thank you.

great reminder for me

Fr. Did not one of the saints say that not all of us are not called to be Trappist Monks or blessed Hermits.

I didn’t really get your point. You are either humble or prideful there isn’t any other explanation.

6 out of 5 stars

Thank you, Father Jake! I love this message.

Good video Father Jake…

Profound!

4:28 Can we agree that "right to employment" and "right to a good wage" are not the sole ways to care for the rights of workers, as not all workers are someone else's employees? Self employment as a writer is a thing. Now, I could understand a Catholic parish that said "your writing stinks, you are schismatic, even heretic, and we won't support you for that kind of work" ... what I can't understand is one that pretty obviously feels that way, but hides all of that under a veneer, "you know, you are poor, we care for you" ... they prefer caring for me as for a pauper over seeing me in print. AND they do that on such an organised level, it colours the neighbourhood.
