He was an amazing man.

It's really good to have you here my friend. Your support means a lot. Godbless

Yeah yeah yeah...

Thank you so much for your heartfelt message and support. It’s truly unfortunate when channels that share such valuable content are taken down, Fulton J. Sheen is an incredible orator and continues to inspire many through his sermons, leading people to a deeper understanding of the faith. We will continue our mission to share the richness of the Catholic tradition and the stories that strengthen our faith. May God protect us all in this work, and may Christ continue to guide you on your journey. Thank you again for your encouragement-Christ be with you! ✝️❤️‍🔥

Amen! 🙏 Thank you for your kind words! Blessings to you as well from France. May God’s grace and peace be with you always!

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It’s true that Jesus' death on the cross is the ultimate act of salvation and reconciliation between God and humanity. Catholics believe that Jesus is our one true mediator with the Father (1 Timothy 2:5). However, asking for the intercession of saints, including the Virgin Mary, is seen not as replacing Jesus, but as asking fellow believers to pray for us, much like we would ask a friend to pray for us. Ultimately, all grace comes from God through Christ.

Thank you for your comment! In Catholic teaching, Jesus is indeed the only one born sinless by His divine nature. However, the Church also holds that the Virgin Mary was preserved from original sin through a special grace, known as the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. This was not by her own power, but through God's grace, preparing her to be the Mother of Jesus. Both beliefs emphasize God's unique work in salvation.

Amen! 🙏 Blessings to you as well, all the way from France! May God’s peace and grace be with you and those around you!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! 🙏🏻❤️ Praise be to Jesus Christ, our Savior, and blessed be the Virgin Mary, our loving Mother. May God continue to bless you abundantly and keep you close to His heart! Stay strong in faith! 😇

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comment! Ukon Takayama is actually a historical figure and a real-life samurai who converted to Christianity in Japan during the 16th century. His story is quite different from the fictional characters in *Samurai Champloo* or the portrayal of samurais in video games. Ukon's faith made him stand out among his peers, and he even faced exile for his beliefs. It’s true that historical figures like him can sometimes be portrayed differently in media, but his legacy as a "Samurai of Christ" is truly inspiring! 😊

Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! 😊 It’s truly inspiring to hear about Ukon Takayama’s unwavering faith, even in the face of adversity. His story reminds us that the race we run is not in vain, and that our faith will be rewarded in the end. May his example inspire us to remain steadfast in our own journeys. God bless you, and may we all meet in the joy of His presence someday! 🙏

Amen! 🙏 Thank you for such a beautiful and touching message. Ukon Takayama's life truly exemplifies what it means to be a "good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21). May his witness inspire us to live our faith with the same courage and devotion. And may he now rest in the eternal joy and peace of God's kingdom, crowned with the reward of his unwavering faith. God bless you!

Thank you. God bless.

It was done with great love for Christ. Thank you

Thank you for the support and encouragement. It helps a lot. God bless

Thank you for sharing that! Yes, Plaza Dilao in Paco, Manila, holds a special significance, as it’s a reminder of Ukon Takayama’s time in the Philippines after he was exiled from Japan for his faith. It's incredible to see how his legacy continues to live on in places like this. Thanks for adding this detail to the discussion! 😊🙏

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that the content is helping strengthen your faith. It’s always a blessing to share stories and insights that bring people closer to God. Stay strong in your journey! ✝️

AI images, yes.

Thank you for bringing up this interesting point! You’re right that being a Christian and a samurai would have been a challenging balance, as the samurai code (Bushido) often emphasized values like loyalty to one’s lord, which could conflict with Christian teachings that prioritize loyalty to God above all. Additionally, practices like the ritual of *seppuku* (ritual suicide) were in direct opposition to Christian beliefs about the sanctity of life. However, Ukon Takayama managed to integrate his faith with his samurai identity in a unique way. After his conversion, he shifted his focus from serving earthly rulers to serving Christ, and he used his influence to promote Christianity in Japan. When faced with a choice between his status as a samurai and his faith, he chose exile over compromising his beliefs, showing where his ultimate loyalty lay. His story is a testament to the struggle many Christians faced in reconciling their old ways of life with their new faith, and it makes his witness even more powerful. Thank you for sparking such a thoughtful reflection!

Thank you. God Bless!!

It was a life full of meaning. It is difficult not to miss any important detail.

Always trying to improve here. God bless.

Saint Therese, please intercede for this family.

It’s a great point, and I’m glad you’ve been sharing it. It’s an important part of understanding Ukon’s story and his struggle to balance faith and culture.

Why you should pray yourself with a true strong conviction mate also have a open mind plus don't believe all the crap you've been fed mate ?

May Saint Therese intercede for us.

Amen ❤​@@CatholicJourneyy

Coincidence. I'm still getting acquainted with AI images.

Only God knows what is really going on in the heart of each one.

Sounds good. God Bless.

@@CatholicJourneyy Touche' (smile) Amen.

Say a prayer for me when you get there. I love her story.

@@CatholicJourneyy I certainly will friend.

Glad you liked it. God Bless

Ukon Takayama’s story would indeed make for a fascinating character in a game, given his unique blend of samurai heritage and deep Christian faith. It’s a story full of conflict, sacrifice, and conviction.

Stop watching RCC if youre not interested in RCC, Troll!

@@zippynapoleon808 God says to reject false religion

i don’t think you realize there’s a difference between Saint and saint. saints are anybody whose in heaven Saints are people who lived a christ life like and are designated by the church to have done so.

@@justwilliam4802 only God says who are saints, not the rcc or orthodox

I understand your perspective and respect your concerns. The Catholic Church believes that miracles can be signs of God’s work in a person’s life, but ultimately, it's God who makes a person a saint. The Church’s role is to recognize those who lived in a way that can inspire others. As for the crucifixion wounds, the Church teaches that the stigmata, like those of Padre Pio, are a mystery and not meant to replicate Christ’s wounds exactly, but rather to remind us of His suffering. These topics can be complex, and it’s always good to explore them thoughtfully.

I hear your concerns, and I respect that this is a sensitive topic. The Catholic Church’s process of canonization is seen as a way to formally recognize those who lived exemplary lives of faith, but the Church acknowledges that only God truly knows the heart and appoints His saints. Regarding the stigmata, there is indeed debate among historians and scholars about the precise nature of crucifixion wounds, but the stigmata in the Catholic tradition are not necessarily understood as exact physical replicas-they are seen as a spiritual sign. Padre Pio's stigmata were mysterious and deeply personal to many who witnessed his devotion. These differences in understanding are significant, and it's important to have open, respectful conversations about them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

@CatholicJourneyy according to catholic standard, not biblical. dont call them saints. according to medical testing, through the palms will not support body weight in koine Greek hand includes the wrist. Pio's stigmata and all the others are fake. plus all way through, not just the entry point. nothing to debate

Amen, that’s so true! It’s amazing how God’s love can reach anyone, no matter their background. Ukon’s story is proof of that!

Thank you for sharing that! It’s wonderful that your relative studied in a school named after such an inspiring saint. Santa Rosa de Lima’s life of devotion and sacrifice truly serves as a beacon of faith for the Americas. May her example continue to spread love for Christ and inspire many to follow His light!

I get what you’re saying. There are so many fascinating stories like Ukon’s that could make great games. It would be interesting to see more of these historical figures represented!

Haha, I get what you mean! Ukon’s story almost sounds like a legend-mixing the samurai spirit with deep Christian faith. It’s like history made a plot twist!

Haha, I get it! The title and visuals can definitely give off those vibes. But nope, this one’s about the real-life story of Ukon Takayama, the Samurai who embraced Christianity!

The enemy always bothers with work for God. God Bless

St Therese is portrayed in the intro as if she was a Hindu goddess. No way is that appropriate.

@@CatholicJourneyyWe have the real photo of St Therese,why do you use this kind of AI photos?

We each have a choice. Will our comment bring goodness and support or just act as a trivial complaint that bring down those around us?

Beautifully said! Ukon truly left behind his old life and became a new man in Christ. His courage opened the way for many to follow the Gospel, even in the toughest circumstances. God bless his legacy!

Beautifully said! 🙏 Indeed, the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory belong to God forever. Our role is to trust in Him and continue to pray, knowing that He guides us in all things.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s true that Japan's rich cultural and religious history, including Shintoism and Buddhism, offers deep insights into its past and traditions. The Catholic Church, while evangelizing, seeks to respect and engage with the local culture. History shows that many missionaries, including Ukon Takayama, aimed not to erase, but to integrate the faith with existing cultural values, promoting peace and understanding. The Catholic Church does not seek to erase history or culture, but rather to offer Christ’s message while respecting the diverse backgrounds of those it encounters. Japan’s history, as with all nations, remains a unique and valuable part of the world's heritage. God bless!
