    Father l go to sleep every night with you on my phone. I wake up in the middle of the night ridden with anxiety. I turn on any one of your catholic preaching and I get calm and fall asleep. God bless you and May you live on for a very long time doing these teachings. Im able to hold on to what you say while I'm in court fighting for my life in a horrible divorce. Pray for me. Im a good person and evil was around me.

      I’m only a few years younger, and I’m learning more and more. My mother tried to always explain to me why the Church teaches what she teaches, but she wasn’t a theologian. She told me “There’s always a reason, you just have to look for it,” and that’s the reason I always am.

      I’m 73 and recently talked to a priest about getting baptized Catholic bc your talks enlighten and inspire me. The Marian Divine Mercy members prayed for me, and I asked Mother Mary to help guide me. This morning I dreamt of the sacred heart of Jesus, which reminded me of St. Faustino. Then I received a petition to sign regarding St. Faustino. I also found my grand parents sacraments, including the green one you mentioned. I’m so excited that my prayers are being answered. Thank you for helping me get my train back on the track.

    I have considered other Christian religions, but due to the power of the Eucharist and true Bible scripture, I feel drawn to learn more. This particular lecture is very enlightening and powerful.

    I grew up without anyone explaining to me but I knew then that images are images...statues are statues. I understood at a young age that all of these are visual representations. Protestants accusations of us Catholics are nonsense. I was only 2 years old when my father died and I have no visual memory of him, so that when I, already in my teens, first saw his picture I was extremely happy. I felt so complete having seen my father in picture. It's like it was not him but it was him :) I placed the picture in my heart. Thank you, Fr. Chris.

      @@anthonyfernandez5016 It's doesn't matter if we know exactly how Jesus, Mary or the saints looked like. God is not that petty! The use of images, in statue or picture form is to help us turn our focus on Him or feel closer to God during prayer, worship or life events. God created us with five senses INCLUDING sight, so he expects us to reach for visual symbols as a means to get closer to Him. The rest of your arguments, just listen to the video and if don't agree, feel free to keep it moving.

    Awesome! Now I know why people find it hard to go to Confession. The evil spirits don't want to encounter Jesus in this Sacrament because He sends them on their way, leaving the penitent free to love and serve Jesus. Not only does He heal, He also frees us from these sticky little pests. Regular Confession sounds like a great plan. Thank you Fr Chris!! God Bless you. TM

      My sister and I visited our niece in the hospital, she had a cyst in her stomach she couldn't be fed normally, she was only two months old. She was in so much pain, She had to be fed through the machine. Anyway, my sister and I and two other sisters knelt down and prayed the divine mercy chaplet, after that I annointed her with the holy water. My niece scream a little bit, as my brother no longer Catholic, so his daughter is not yet baptized. On our way home he sent a video of his daughter been fed normally without any tube attached to her.

    I have a 1.5 foot statue of the Blessed virgin on the altar in my bedroom. There are two green scapulars around The statue. I don’t know where they came from. One is new and one is old. I bought the statue many years ago and I do not recall putting those scapulars there. Though I am sure I did at one point. However, my husband at 83 was a new convert to Catholicism. At the foot of his deathbed in that bedroom he saw A woman in a blue cape. He had been very slow to accepting Mary. I saw this as a sign that Mary had accepted him!
    Until hearing about the green scapular, I did not know that it would impact his belief and experience. Praise be to God!

      I bow to somebody I truthfully respect. I bow to greet our parish good morning. I bow to elderly when I greet them or to acknowledge their presence. I bow when I pass between 2 people talking in the hallway. Bowing is respect.

    Thanks Fr Chris , joining with you from Australia. It is a blessing for me every time when I listen to you. I am always so thankful to you. You explain our faith so beautifully and in a simple way. We are so greatful for the Priest like you. I am so thankful for for the Almighty Father my parents , grandparents and greatgrandparents passed and taught the Catholic faith which is so rich and gives joy and inner peace. I am born in India. I am so greatful for my Catholic faith. I can't stop thanking my Lord for this faith and I pray for all the protestant Christians and other religious the nurishment of Catholic faith which they are missing due to they are mislead or they do not know. God bless them and open their heart to comeback to the Motherhood Church , the only true and Appostolic church.🙏

    I wear the green scapular. People should not be scrupulous about which one to wear. Select one that is in accord with your spiritual sensibilities and be faithful to it. In the end it’s about Grace.

    • @paullukasik8698
      @paullukasik8698 3 роки тому +4

      The green scapular is for someone that you are trying to bring to the faith, or possibly convert them. If you are going to wear only one, and are Catholic, it should be the brown scapular.
