A call to discernment, prayer, study and reflection for our Protestant bretheren
Protestant brothers and sisters, what if when Christ called us to eat His flesh and drink His blood He didn't mean it symbolically? What if He was speaking literally? And what if the way the consume His Body, Blood, Soul and Devinity is the the Eucharist consecrated and offered daily in the Catholic Church?
This short video isn't a defence of the Catholic belief of the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist, but a simple request to consider, what if He is?
With love and humility I would direct you to the following article for a better defense than I could make:
www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/how-to-defend-christs-presence-in-the-eucharist
And I offer you all the following scripture to contemplate:
John 6:51-69:
"I am the living bread which
came down from heaven; if
any one eats of this bread, he
will live for ever; and the bread
which I shall give for the life of
the world is my flesh.
The Jews then disputed among
themselves, saying, "How can
this man give us his flesh to
eat?" So Jesus said to them,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of
man and drink his blood, you
have no life in you; he who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life, and I will raise
him up at the last day. For my
flesh is food indeed, and my
blood is drink indeed. He who
eats my flesh and drinks my
blood abides in me, and I in him
As the living Father sent me,
and I live because of the Father
so he who eats me will live
because of me. This is the
bread which came down from
heaven, not such as the fathers
ate and died; he who eats this
bread will live for ever. This he
said in the synagogue, as he
taught at Caper'na-um."
"Many of his disciples, when
they heard it, said, "This is a
hard saying; who can listen
to it?"" But Jesus, knowing
in himself that his disciples
murmured at it, said to them
"Do you take offense at this?
Then what if you were to see the
Son of man ascending where he
was before? It is the Spirit that
gives life, the flesh is of no avail;
the words that I have spoken to
you are Spirit and life. But there
are some of you that do not
believe." For Jesus knew from
the first who those were that did
not believe, and who it was that
would betray him. And he said,
"This is why I told you that no
one can come to me unless it is
granted him by the Father." After
this many of his disciples drew
back and no longer walked with
him. Jesus said to the Twelve,
"Will you also go away?" Simon
Peter answered him, "Lord, to
whom shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life: and we
have believed, and have come to
know, that you are the Holy One of God."

It is out of love and appreciation for my brothers and sisters in Christ that I invite you to consider, pray, and research - from what the early Chuch believed, to the Early Church Father's, to the entirety of Christian history until the 16th century - the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and then, if you find the argument compelling, continue wherever that leads you. May God bless all who read this.

GINGER in WHEELCHAIR reviews Accessible HOTEL ROOM! How exciting ... kinda ... I guess
Переглядів 61Рік тому
If you're not someone who has ever had to use a wheelchair while traveling then it's most likely that you've never had to consider some of the inconveniences and outright problems booking and staying in an accessible room can cause. 9 times out of 10 there's always a problem! For myself, usually having to do with shower access. In this video I review a place that is basically the complete oppos...
A Day in the Life of a Wheelchair User: Minor Medical Emergency
Переглядів 2092 роки тому
A small look into a day where being a wheelchair using paraplegic ginger usurps all other obligations; outside of God of course. When the medical life interferes with the day-to-day it can be a hindrance, but more importantly it's an opportunity! An opportunity to thank God for what I have and what He's given me so I can offer up to Him for my sake or for the sake of others. And it's an EXCELLE...

Watch as I attempt a different kind of video while a loud fan runs in the background because it was so hot when I recorded. Will there be twists and turns?!

Overcoming a Challenge: Loading my Wheelchair into my New Van!

Some challenges can be overcome with a simple act out of love, kindness, and appreciation.

In this video I show you how I handle one of those smaller challenges: getting out of the car, and then talk about how I view this and larger challenges in life.

Hi bro,Is it possible to get drivers permit using portable hand control? DMV allows it for disabled?
I don't see why not as long as they're safely secured. I got my permit and license while using these exact ones in the video. Of course I would call the DMV to be absolutely sure and I would check your state laws. The most important thing is to make sure they fit the vehicle without obstruction and, again, that they are tightly secured to the pedals. I practiced in empty parking lots when I was first learning and my father used them first to make sure they worked well. Don't do anything unchecked and untested, and then double checked and double tested before using them.
@@holyroller. Sure,thank you verymuch for the response .I live in pennsylvania.
Thank you for an insider look at how this works. Vroom vroom. ❤
No problem. It's a little different but not drastically so
TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH!!! Great video, cuz!! John 6 is INDEED what people need to read and meditate on!! Also, look at Jeremiah 31:31-34 And look at Malachi 1:11 And something else to reflect on... Dr. Scott Hahn has pointed out that the Jews at the Time of Passover offered unblemished lambs as sacrifices. What did they do with "the sacrifices?" They "ATE" them!! Jesus is The Unblemished Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world, and He has called us to "EAT The Sacrifice" ... i.e., EAT His Body and DRINK His Blood. Jesus made His Sacrifice "once for all," BUT that "SAME SACRIFICE" is "RE-PRESENTED" (note - not "REPRESENTED") to The Father at Masses said all over the world each and every day!! Jesus is not Crucified again at each Mass. But The Sacrifice Jesus made at Calvary is "RE-PRESENTED" to The Father (refer back to the verses mentioned in Jeremiah and Malachi).
Amen brother, I know of John 6, however if I may, please read just a few verses forward and you'll see that what the Lord talks about is of the spirit. Flesh profits nothing. We also eat the communion as a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice, not as a re presenting of his literal flesh and blood.
I would suggest to you that you re-read "ALL" of John 6 and ask The Holy Spirit to help you see what The Early Church believed, and what The Early Church Fathers taught regarding The Holy Eucharist. Please, pay special attention to the "murmuring" among Jesus' Disciples, as they regarded Jesus' Words as a "hard saying." They understood EXACTLY what He was saying; they KNEW He was talking about eating His ACTUAL Body and drinking His ACTUAL Blood; that's why they "murmured;" many of His Disciples stopped walking with Him after this; they couldn't handle His literal meaning in what He was saying; Jesus didn't stop them and say, "No, no, wait, wait; you don't understand; don't go; don't walk away; here's what I ACTUALLY meant." No, He let them walk away because He meant EXACTLY what He said ("For My Flesh is True Food, and My Blood is True Drink"). I will also ask you if you take Jesus at His Word at The Last Supper when He said, "Take this and EAT it; this is My Body;" and when He said, "Take this and drink of it; this is My Blood" (paraphrasing). At The Last Supper, was Jesus offering His Apostles His ACTUAL Body and Blood (His Words; also, go back to John 6). If you believe it to be His ACTUAL Body and Blood ... at The Last Supper, then you have to ask yourself WHAT="THIS" when Jesus told them, "As often as you do "THIS," do it in remembrance of Me. WHAT="THIS???" DO "THIS;" what had He just done? Refer to a comment I made earlier today, and visit the verses mentioned in Jeremiah and Malachi.
❤️🔥BEST VIDEO EVER!!!❤️🔥
Thank you. God bless you, Ursula.
Very informative and I pray this helps many have more accommodating and helpful tips all needs. Excellent job!!!!
You’re not quite ginger but I still love you .❤️
I’m in love ❤️
Nothings up , why do you ask ?
Good testimony! Do you have feeling below your injury?
Praying for you and so proud of you @Holy Roller at the elevation your soul has grown. Praise be His Holy Name! Hope to connect soon, but ping me with an update. 🙏🏻📿🕊❤️🔥
I crack up everytime I hear that chair getting heavier and heavier. Great attention getter. Fun . Must have felt like that first time.
What a beautiful gift suffering is my friend and what an intimate union with Jesus we are called to!!! Thanks be to God!!!❤👑❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family!!♥️💒🕯️🎄🌟🍭🎁🧸❄️☃️☕🫖🔥🥂💫♥️
You KNOW I agree. God bless you. Thank you for your continued support and prayers. A very merry and blessed Christmas to you as well. 🎄🙏✝️
Woot! Looking forward to more content!
Well you're in luck because another one is up. Haha
Good to see you up and running again!!! Do not keep silent as that is pleasing to the devil!!! Speak out Gods glory in a thousand tongues!! God bless you my friend!!!
Really well said. I'm still here fighting. 🙂
Very keen observation and analysis on your experience. Well said.
Best video yet!!! Perfect balance of definitive faith explained with a light twist of your ginger humor! 😉 Awesome job!!!👌🏻 Proud of you!
Very smooth presentation! To the point and clear in content!!
So proud of you, your growth and your journey!!! The only song you need to remember is "Jesus loves me this I know!"😉 Keep growing and deepening your union with God!! Suffering is the most beautiful and glorious gift!!! How many billionaires save souls? A life or 2 perhaps, but really save souls? Oh, not to be nit picky, but what about a thank you to nuns and Consecrated religious also.☺ Keep moving to God! He is the ONLY WAY!!!!!
I can't believe I forgot nuns! I have aunts who are nuns. 😬 And thank God for nuns and Consecrated religious. And thank you, Ursula, for your words of encouragement. God bless you.
@@holyroller. All Gods glory not my merits!!! Praise be Jesus Christ!!! God bless you!!!🕊
I'm glad you have a vehicle that adds some ease to your life 🙂
Me too. Things are changing in my life and I feel like this is just the beginning. St. Junipero Serra once said "Always forward, never back." I'm going to keep moving forward. 🙂
The new van makes an appearance!
Didn't know it was decked out with all the cool attachments, looks pretty sick, might want one in my car too. My best friend's family has a dodge grand caravan and that thing has transferred a family with 3 boys (4 if you include the time I lived with them) all over the country. Great car, hope its just as great for you U Mike.
@@charlesremlinger6650 Yeah it's pretty good so far. It's a 2006 but only has 34,000 miles on it. Should last a long time.
Do you get dressed in your wheelchair? Would be good to see that in a vid
No I don't and I wouldn't show that process out of modesty. Maybe I'll explain the process in an upcoming video. Good question though. 👍
Clarification at about 9:30 mark: Anyone with an SCI who comes across this video and may think my comment about only having a bad day in regards to my disability every 3 to 5 years please know it's not meant to lessen your experience. We are all at different stages of our injuries and in our lives in general. I was born paralyzed. I've been disabled for over 30 years. Most of my struggles, questions, and depressive days having to do with my disability came when I was a LOT younger. As a child I had very little self-worth or self-esteem, especially when I started school, and I had to build it up through the support of family, friends, and most of all through faith. Don't let my personal experience undercut your own but if you are struggling, and if you can find faith and hope within my experiences, I pray the good Lord unburdens you and transitions your spirit from survive into thrive. God bless.
Clarification at about 14 minute mark: We ARE praying to Mary and we DO hold her up in esteem. What I was trying to relay is that we don't hold Mary up as an equal to Christ Jesus. He is her savior and salvation just as He is ours. When Catholics pray to Mary or saints they are intercessory prayers. Praying to those in Heaven to intercede for us to the Blessed Trinity directly. www.scripturecatholic.com/saints-and-intercessory-prayer/ I may be a little off on some of this dogma so, if I am, maybe a more knowledgeable Catholic can correct me. I am NOT an apologist (although I'm studying apologetics on my own), theologian, or any kind of expert in all things Catholic. I am a layman and lifelong Catholic trying my best to explain what I know about the faith. Take what I say about Catholic dogma with a grain of salt.
Praying with you for all the evil infiltrating the USA and its leaders! Please rest well and heal strong in the arms of Jesus and under the loving Mantle of our Mother Mary. 🙏🏻📿🕊❤👑💙💒
Great to see how you adapt, would be good to see more and how your unique perspective as paraplegic allows you to see God’s divine will. What’s your SCI level?
T3-T4. A high injury para. I've a semicircle of scar tissue between the 3rd and 4th thoracic vertebrae. It's an interesting injury as I'm considered a "complete" SCI but God has blessed me with more ability than I should be able to have. Thank you for your kind words. I'm working on the next video on "gratitude." More to come!
Great video, Michael!! Many of us can learn (a lot) from you!! God Bless, and keep 'em comin'!! Can't wait for the next one!! ❤️
My dad was a paraplegic for the last 4 years of his life and it was a very difficult task for me, as his daughter and caregiver to load and unload him into a regular vehicle. However, like you said you adapt and you just do it! 💪🏻 Thank you for sharing your challenges to dispel ignorance and create love and compassion. I pray that many ask to help you and execute the virtue of patience. I also pray that many learn from you to be kind, compassionate and patient! Thank you for giving hope to thousands who suffer the challenges you also do and teachings them that they are heroic victories!
EYE-WITNESS 👁 HERE. This process is no joke!
That's a fact. But that's to be expected coming from The Bola Report.
I appreciate what you shared, all 13 mins and 47 seconds of it. I look forward to the next one.
Solid Update, really strong to talk about the graces in your life while listening to a hospital machine beep. Haha, keep it up, we'll keep on listening
Hahaha Didn't even think about it but it really drives it home, doesn't it? What do you think of the name change?
Love it. Thr last one was good too but this one is perfect
PRAISE GOD!!! You are looking STRONG 💪🏻 and JOYFUL ☺!!!! Keep up the good work clinging to Jesus! 🤗❤👑 Congratulations on your microphone and your Van!!! Jesus has even more rewards ahead for you my friend! Praying for you! 🙏🏻
You have it my friend...HOLINESS!!!🕊
Just found your UA-cam channel and subscribed my friend and what a warrior for souls you are!!!💪🏻😇🕊
Way to go, Michael!! Keep 'em coming!! 👍🏻
Great video, Michael!! Maybe, some day down the road, I hope you will do a video on explaining The Mass!! Keep up the good work and may God Bless You and keep you in perfect peace!!
That's a great idea! Especially since there are so many Protestants AND Catholics who don't understand it. ESPECIALLY the true sacrifice offered at the Mass. It'll probably be a little further down the road
Well spoken
Was expecting the name to be "The Holy Roller". Regardless, very cool intro, very cool start, excited for the next video
DEFINITELY using that for one episode. 😆
@@holyroller. I am so incredibly proud of you! Moreover, Jesus is so proud of you and Jesus and Mother Mary love you dearly!
Well done
Best Intro Video Ever!!!
