I am a Roman Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Washington (DC), ordained in 2003 and currently serving as Pastor of St. Mary of the Mills Catholic Church in Laurel MD. I'm passionate about preaching and teaching the Catholic Faith and leading people deeper into the adventure of a relationship with our Creator and Lord. I firmly believe in orthodoxy and fidelity to the Magisterium. I have a special passion for the Bible. My hobbies are cars, hunting/fishing and rock climbing.
If we've already died, why are we terrified!?!
The Love of Christ hold us together. We have already died with Christ and we ought not have a dread fear of death.

Hi Fr. Larry. I recommend for your intros to match the meditation, this provides perfect looping or re-watching for sleep and rest. Your intros should be included in the meditation in the same relaxing voice and music so it's not so jarring. :) Thank you and I hope to see more mediation videos in the future with more soothing intros. lol thank you. God bless ya!
Good suggestion! Thanks! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
I love this Catholic guided meditation so much!! Thank you and God bless you fr Larry!!
You are welcome and thanks for the encouragement! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Thank you!
You are welcome! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Hey Fr. Larry, I listened to this today. It's amazing! Like the Father was speaking directly to me... appreciate it!
Cool! Great to hear! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Great Video
Thanks! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Thank-you Father. Love your videos. I had watched a video by Fr Gregory Pine where he said we cannot wound (offend) God, which I found confusing since we say in the Act of Contrition, "O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee." So I found your explanation of the Latin root of offend very helpful. But now wondering, if we do not offend (standard usage) God does it follow that we cannot please Him either? In other words, since God already loves us at a God level, how could we possibly increase that? Our small attempts at doing good are not pleasing?
Something pleasing has more to do with pleasure, which is something we typically associate with bodily creatures that have sensible and emotional appetites. We speak anthropomorphically in this way about God in the Scriptures, "God is at work in you, both to will and to work in you, for his good pleasure" (Phil 2:13). However, God does not have sensible or emotional appetites, which are properties of bodily creatures. He does however have intellective appetites, which we also have. Our intellective appetite is another way of referring to our will. God has a will or intellective appetite for the Good. Of course God himself is the perfection of Goodness. He is Goodness itself. When his creatures reflect his infinite goodness he does not find pleasure in it, but something more profound, joy and delight. St. Thomas Aquinas states that God, "God takes joy in every good... God properly delights in himself, but he takes delight both in himself and in other things" (SCG, 90)
@@fr.larryyoung4222 Thank-you Father. I'll bring this to my Tuesday night bible study group. We'll be back.
Please make more healing videos Father
Thank you for your encouragement! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
You should do a new series. These are great. Dr. Greg with Mindful Catholic should add these to his app. Thank you. 🙏
May I suggest some ideas? 1. Meeting Jesus Ina garden or special place and a bit of quiet time for an internal conversation. 2. Same idea, with God the Father. 3. Same idea with Father, Son and Spirit. Thanks!
Another amazing peaceful meditation to calm the fear and anxiety during my medical crisis. If your parish has a prayer ministry to pray for people for healing or holy hours I would appreciate being included on the prayer list. Your prayers are appreciated. God bless
Thank you father. I have an upcoming surgery and found this meditation very calming. If you could please pray for me for a successful surgery and treatment plan with guidance for my doctors I would be grateful. Thank you
My prayers are with you! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Great work

Following. Love from Ireland...
Hello Ireland! Thank you for subscribing and God Bless Ya's!
This is so flipping accurate. I’m trying to break free since becoming catholic but it’s hard. My parents used it near my since I was a kid - that’s a huge problem with this too, infantile parents
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your feedback! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
So beautiful Father you just reaffirmed how much we are beloved and blessed to be God’s children all glory and honor to our Father in Heaven. Amen 🙏🏻
Thank you for your kind words! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
I love the photos with words of guidance Thank you this is what I was looking for God bless you 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Thanks very much for your feedback! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Am i the only one that broke down crying during this?
Thank you, Father. I needed that. God bless you.
You are welcome! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Wow. I’m glad I found you here. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Ave Maria!
Thanks! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
It needs to be repetitious to get this simple idea through our thick skulls.
Amen! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
That was beautiful. Thank you and God bless you, Father.
You are welcome! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
I love this message! We already participate in the Heavenly life of the risen Christ! Help us Lord, to do this well, and for Your Glory! (Fr. Larry - is there a Catechism you recommend for home use? I’m a cradle Catholic and want to become more acquainted with the Church’s teachings.). Husband’s favorite t-shirt is one he had made with the quote “Mt. Zion or Bust” 😂
Get the big green one with the index off Amazon or Ignatius Press. Hard back. Go all in. Get Ya some highlighters and mark that thing up! That is my recommendation. Highlighting, underlining and making notations gives you a sense of ownership of your Bible or Catechism. They enhance memory and give the text a certain topography.
More please.
Amazing homily, Father. People need to find you and listen to you. God bless you. Ave Maria!
Yo Dave! Thanks! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Thank you Father - beautiful meditation

Thank you Father, what a beautiful and powerful meditation. As well as healing for myself I am placing all my familys names before God as I listen.

I needed this. I so desperately am trying to find a relationship with God
There is tons of hope! Open you heart to the Lord more and more! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Firmly believe The Shroud of Turin is authentic. Thank you, Lord!

Thanks Father. I’m writing a paper on Joel 3:1-8 for my masters and was looking for a Catholic talk on it!
Excellent! I hope you crush that paper! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
Do you have any suggestions of commentaries or other resources to exegete this passage?
@@jowardseph I recommend using the interlinear feature on Biblehub to analyze the original language of Hebrew. That could lead you to make connections to other passages within Joel and elsewhere in the Bible through common language, imagery, places names, etc. Use the Parallel feature on Biblehub as well to connect each verse with as many other texts as possible. Gather as many chain references you can. For example, I would go deep into the word 'restore' in verse 1. 'Restoring the fortunes' is a common phrase in the Psalms and prophets. What does it mean? If you can find out how the Septuagint and Vulgate translate that word or any other word you choose to press into that could be extremely beneficial as well because it could lead to New Testament connections. I use Verbum for access to the LXX and Vg. Utilize the commentaries on Biblehub. Not sure if you are Catholic or not. Biblehub is Protestant, but if you are Catholic they are still of tremendous value. There is some 'popish' and 'romish' bashing in some of them, but I just ignore that. I love their passion for the Word of God and their seriousness about studying it. If you are serious about in depth Scripture study I would say it is unavoidable that you will supplement your Catholic resources with Protestant ones as well. This requires solid formation in the faith in order to exercise discernment. There is a lot in that passage! You will need a good historical grasp of the context. I would be interested in how the Old and New Testaments are woven together here. There is rich history here, but perhaps it also reaches all the way out to the eschaton?

More meditations please!!!
One thing I find interesting is that Samson's strength comes from the Nazarite symbol of faith (his hair). However, it could be surmised that because his heart was changed that became the true testimony of faith. Similar to how we've been called to circumsize our hearts.
Father Larry is based ngl.
Thanks! I like that expression! Peace of Christ, Fr. Larry
This is going to be a favourite go-to ... Thanks
