I like his the idea for quiet time, spiritual reading time, prayer time. I have four kids under 6 years old. They’re getting baptized in January. We’re very excited.
I'm here Father, I will obey you. Thank you for caring about my soul Shepard. I don't want to be lost I want salvation for my eternity and not damnation. Thank you
I gave up Telegram and Twitter for my St Louis de Montfort consecration to Our Lady which ended on Sunday..... Honestly, I have never felt so much better! Thank you very much for this Father? Prayers + Rosaries from Sydney
I remember watching this video over 1 year age ago, And this special recollection more like a silent inward gaze leads me to experience such profound peace and joy ..Which leads to a certain kind of pride and what happened is stopped discursive meditation thinking I'm already in some kind of mystical level .. without proper guidance we can be deceived.. And fall into almost a year into such interior suffering lukewarmness , falling into deliberate venial sin, discouragement.Thanks be to GOD I was doing my daily Rosary It helped me to persevere..but I avoided mental prayer with meditation but always try to be still looking inwardly..later I understand that even one is higher stages of prayer to we must do some meditation and humility is always safe road to travel ..and for sure prayer needs silent time listening and to be with GOD but completely removing meditation is not a good idea..I hope this will help someone
The best time for me to sit with God is in the evening. That's when I pray my rosary. From now on after I pray it, I will sit in silence instead of getting back on my phone for news or whatever.
I always come back to this vision, even when standing in line for confession, of (when our Lord allowed Peter to walk on water after Him) Peter taking his eyes off Jesus, getting frightened, and then he started sinking. We do that. Whenever we take our focus off of our Lord, we fall or sink.
Titus as a Monk. I love this painting by Rembrandt! He used his son as the model. He was only 19 years old. But he died young, I don't remember the exact age, but still in his twenty's.
Really needed to hear this today. I've been battling w too much phone time for the last few months, this really set me on fire and gave me strength. God bless him.
Thank You for this video...Though I freely admit I did need my phone to view it but I am grateful that you took the time to make it and made it available to me...God Bless
Combine all our prayers to Holy Trinity of God holy family today . Shove Tuesday lent tomorrow also Valentine 💘 day . Thanksgivings fiat fiat fiat . Thank you Fathers talk.
Thanks a lot for this Father, yes it's true I spend a lot in social media so sometimes most of the time when I pray my holy rosary my mind is on that thing that I have saw in Facebook or the person whom I love. and it's really hard to focus if we put a lot in our mind. please include us in your prayers Father.
It would be good if we could all focus on ending abortion as a priority. This is the time, let's not miss it. We need to be teaching young people the truths of biblical faith and encouraging women to fulfill the self-sacrificing roles of being mothers. Fathers, also. Nothing much else matters if we do not take seriously our God- given role to have children and take care of them by raising them with attention, focusing on them.
Unfortunately, these thoughts are politically incorrect and wouldn't make it past the parish pulpits. There's too much fear to lose the remaining flock over controversial subjects such as abortion and motherhood which contradict social norms of feminism and communism as well as hedonism which unfortunately many even Sunday Catholics support. Our consolation is not in fixing society or even the members in the Church, clergy perhaps most of all, but only in the sacred heart of Christ.
@@MM22272 We are obligated to provide for our children. The Catholic Church teaches social justice. Consolation from the Sacred Heart is meant as a motivator. The Divine Mercy of Sr. Faustina is the Sacred Heart. He gave it to her to do something about stopping abortion. We do this by teaching our children. There are many teachings on the Theology of the Body. See Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life. He teaches how to be spiritual and take practical steps. Sister Faustina suffered the pangs of those undergoing abortion. She tried to wake us up. Marian apparitions exhort us to protect all children everywhere. Everyone can find a way to do that. Everyone can find a way to do more than they are presently doing. Just add 15 minutes a day to do prolife work. Even if it is prayer to the Sacred Heart. God is allowing judgement with sudden death by demonic covid. The Church includes laypeople. Not merely clergy. Laypeople are the parents. They are the ones responsible for their children. We do not fix the clergy. We fix ourselves. The Book of James states that Faith without Works is dead.
I could not AGREE more with you! Ending abortion, the SCOURGE of the whole world, must be our top priority! Abortion is an INHERENT EVIL...which means there is nothing good or "ok" about it. It is MURDER! God can NOT bless us if we continue to allow, permit this MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS. Read how Herod and his son died....HORRIBLE deaths. And people wonder why we are being hit with all types of natural disasters, the pandemic, cancer of all types, suicides, addictions, EVILS of all sort. We did not just open the door a crack, we opened it full wide and INVITED SATAN IN WITH OPEN ARMS! This will never end, and in fact will get worse...unless we pray, sacrifice, fast enough to END ABORTION! IMHO
@@maggiepatterson7949 Hi, Thanks, You said it perfectly. You understand the big picture. People in prolife work understand this. When we invited death in, it eventually destroys everything. When God lead the Israelites out of Egypt, He sent ten plagues before the Pharoah relented. But the Israelites also endured many of the plagues. They were complacent as slaves and not willing to leave Egypt. I will try to express your thoughts to others who do not see big picture. I am active in Catholic prolife work.
Thank you so much for posting this it could not be more on time!

At some point we have to take that spirit and give it to others. If we focus so much on our own spirituality we forget to love others. I agree the world is consuming but take heart for Christ has over come the world. We have to give the people who do not believe the kindness that Christ gave to us on the cross. That to me is the hardest thing to do or the pinnacle of spiritual life. I agree safeguard yourself and engage people with love but if what they see isn't Christ then the truth of the word falls away like a dried up seed. That's what I'm thinking anyway. Thanks and God bless you.
Excellent, thank Father for the superb spiritual advice🙏✝️! Custody of the eyes is so important especially in these times where sexual temptation and stimulation is everywhere🙏✝️! I live in So. California area near West Covina. If anyone out there knows of a 3rd Order Catholic contemplative group please share that information with me🙏✝️
I'm alive today because of you Mike , you knew what the real medicine was. You were more than a friend . We were brothers and you prepared me for things to come. R.I.P. Mike I'm sorry. I remember when you got scared of me. You said "I love you Jesus" three times .
True Words, and I have some changes to make for my Soul 🙏 I need to go back to the old flip phone 🤔 Dear Holy Spirit please help me to shut the garbage out 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
Thank you father. Your talk inspired me to uninstall Facebook and Instagram from my devices. I never even like the way I feel scrolling through that stuff anyway so why did I even do it everyday. I will devote that time to prayer now. God bless you and all you brothers are in my prayers
I guess I just learned one good thing about me: I had no idea I am finally in the right path and maturing. God decided to take over and be my spiritual director. I can see how he did not want anything to get in his way with me. I don't want or allow anyone to get in my way with him. When I do stupid stuff, like Amazoning, I feel nauseous and just weird inside: Something ends up missing. I feel everywhere and yet nowhere.
I feel so incredibly blessed to have found this 🙏 Thank you thank you thank you. Praise God, my heart needed to hear this so badly 🕊 may Our Mother help me pray the rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet every day again 📿
1 rosary to Mother Mary/day and 1 Devine Mercy Chaplet to Jesus for their intentions so I don't worry about world's needs, Jesus and Mother Mary know best, do it for a few yrs now, was prompted once to do so, and I do
just one lifetime is not enough to reach true holiness, my life is full of wasted time, useless occupations, terrible delays, and unnecessary failures! i honestly need at least 150 lifetimes to compensate all my negligences, to advance a little bit on holiness.
I just inverted the color on my phone. It dulls and makes all images less inviting and very unattractive. Phones are nothing but soul destroyers! What an awesome video, thanks!
Thank you so very much for the excellent message! How much this is greatly needed now more than ever. God have mercy on us and on the whole world! Immensely grateful! God bless you for the work you do!🙏

Really helpful and supportive content. Thank you. Could there be a link between distraction, gratification - and dopamine? Being recollected, delayed gratification - dopamine decrease?
You can get a dumb phone that doesn't have internet access or functionality for a lot of apps. You can download podcasts onto a midi player that doesn't have internet. Or you can read the books these priests are reading.
Hmm. Lots to dwell on here. I would liken to the phrase iron sharpens iron.. recollection is taking that dim light of our soul and setting it ablaze for the glory and love of God.
Friends... I want moral perfection, glory and to live in beauty but, my bombastic young flesh reeks of disobedience, my tongue and teeth taste like vice and worst of all my licentious eyes. What words do father speak of concerning mine and our brother's hinder to a good life?
Plato's chariot and of a man controlling wild steeds, is a picture of man controlling his passions, so long as he keeps hold of the reins he has self control.
indeed if you allow it...you are the only one who can control yourself...even if God is obviously stronger, if you allow your phone to dominate your life, God can't help you much...that is called "idolatry"....
Many have a tendency to pick up the phone first thing and it sucks you in scrolling or searching for hours that result is no time for anything important, prayer holy contemplation, the things you ought to be doing and then never accomplish. With the TV we generally do other things and aren't planted in front of it but the cell phone you have to hold and control. He is just saying to set your ultimate purpose on the salvation of your soul because you have to actually work for salvation every day. It's all in perspective
I think he us saying this, but in translation, he means "Do not let the worries of the world live rent free in your head to the point where they distract you from God". It is good to be knowledgeable about the world events, but if concern over worldly things begins to crowd out God and faith then it becomes a problem (like thinking about Biden tripping on the stairs when he is supposed to be focused on prayer; it is concerning/funny but useless to think of in that moment).
Nirvana is not a joke. It's preferring ceasing to exist rather than exploring that a relationship with God could be a possibility. It's just the sin of pride, again, as in I will not bend the knee. An escape into transient psychosis. If a counterfeit peace can be found from being empty headed, rather than accepting God in your heart, then that's how souls are lost.
I heard that they have women lecturers in seminary who promote women ordination this is not right so what we do ? These feminist are destroying families and children and man
Minute 25: You have to have order in the family and the house. Great! How would that work if the father works long hours in the day and the mother works long hours through the night; and the children are left to their own caprice? Both parents working is normative. The family may need the money. The wife may be a feminist and want public adulation and from her friends or to impress people whom she'll never know. Yes, she may be an otherwise active Catholic. Anyways, what you say is good, but it's never articulated from the pulpits. So, it's nice to hear, but unfortunately only reaches a limited few, but still it's better than nothing.
Woah, why did you go straight to the woman being a feminist? Just because a woman walks, to help support the family does not make her a feminist. It makes her someone who supports her family. Or is this what you are saying about your spouse? Why do you think she wants adulation and not just a pay check. Is she helping to pay for the kids to go to Catholic school?
@@allyboballymomally7440 Many thanks for your heartfelt reply. You may be right. Let's consider some numbers. Wikipedia indicates but there are 600 locations where the TLM is offered out of just over 17,000 congregations. So, 600/17,000=3.5%. I have heard that the average percentage of nominal Catholics attending weekly masses about 10%. Wikipedia indicates that there are 70.4 million Catholics in the US. So, there's about 7 million Catholics going to mass. If 3.5% are those attend the TLM, as many as 246,000 attend weekly. If the US population is 335 million, only 7/1,000 or
Too many people want too much stuff instead of making sacrifices in order to allow the wife to stay at home. Everyone wants to biggest house they can afford instead of something smaller, they want the biggest most expensive car they can afford, the newest expensive phone, etc... people don't need all the stuff they have. People need to live more simpler and focus on their family and what Gods wants for them.
but these days women want to be like man and neglecting children, look how they try to do sports which are so brutal, and to put them in seminary is so wrong so wrong.
The material covered was excellent but the presentation of that material was MUCH less than excellent. He should know his material thoroughly before making a presentation.
Some of his talks that are put on here are not "formal" but instead are done in a more private setting, a very informal talk to a very small group of people. They are more of a type of discussion, with room for adding to, hearing questions, ect. He is so good at what he does... When he does do more formal talks to larger crowds, he most definitely is very thorough & is an excellent speaker.
I like his the idea for quiet time, spiritual reading time, prayer time. I have four kids under 6 years old. They’re getting baptized in January. We’re very excited.

Great Blessing for You! I gave up FB but never had twitter nor telegram. So much better with out them. ✝️🙏⛪🌿💜
I love hearing the truth! This is brilliant. I pray for people and myself to come to the realization of the time we waste with things that are nothing

This is the best talk!! He is 100% correct on everything he spoke about! Every Catholic needs to hear this.
The best time for me to sit with God is in the evening. That's when I pray my rosary. From now on after I pray it, I will sit in silence instead of getting back on my phone for news or whatever.
This is a great message on how and why to detach from the world.
I always come back to this vision, even when standing in line for confession, of (when our Lord allowed Peter to walk on water after Him) Peter taking his eyes off Jesus, getting frightened, and then he started sinking. We do that. Whenever we take our focus off of our Lord, we fall or sink.

Who is Titus? I'm intrigued, there is more to this painting it seems than the ignorance of my eyes has perceived on first glance.
Titus was Rembrandts son

When I was in the seminary, my superior - founder would read Time magazine or newspaper wearing the vestments just before celebrating Holy Mass.
That’s so sad and disturbing.
just one lifetime is not enough to reach true holiness, my life is full of wasted time, useless occupations, terrible delays, and unnecessary failures!
i honestly need at least 150 lifetimes to compensate all my negligences, to advance a little bit on holiness.
I just inverted the color on my phone. It dulls and makes all images less inviting and very unattractive.

I'd love to give up my phone, but then how would I listen to sensus fidelium??
At home on the pc. Also, even sensus fidelium can be a distraction.
You can get a dumb phone that doesn't have internet access or functionality for a lot of apps. You can download podcasts onto a midi player that doesn't have internet. Or you can read the books these priests are reading.

❤
Plato's chariot and of a man controlling wild steeds, is a picture of man controlling his passions, so long as he keeps hold of the reins he has self control.
Is this different from the transforming union?
Fr.Ricardo, i think
Who is this priest? ???
Great retreat.
Now we have pinterest....😕
I got kicked off tweeter and will go off Gab. You r right, its a waste of precious time
Chaos, fear, and division are the hallmarks of Satan.
Having a bit of a struggle right now and this is the last thing I needed to hear
Is this guy saying my mobile phone is stronger than god ???
No I don't think that he is saying your phone is stronger than God
He is a priest not some guy, he is a Shepard Not a hierling
indeed if you allow it...you are the only one who can control yourself...even if God is obviously stronger, if you allow your phone to dominate your life, God can't help you much...that is called "idolatry"....
Then don’t listen to him my friend.

My dear friar has just described the entirety of Buddhist practice
What book is Fr. reading from?
I found this because...my phone 😏
I wouldn't be surprised if someone could buy a car with the money that too many women spend on magazines in the checkout aisle.
What’s the book..?
10:40
The enemy definitely uses our "smart" phones and technology as tools to tempt us to separate ourselves from God.
What's the name of this priest?
Who is the spiritual writer Francis.......? Name please
Francisco de Osuna, The Third Spiritual Alphabet.
I don't get it people get upset about news and it can be distracting so we shouldn't watch it?

Some of his talks that are put on here are not "formal" but instead are done in a more private setting, a very informal talk to a very small group of people.

Thanks!
