The most important and greatest miracle is the Holy Eucharist, the body of Christ, the Paschal Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, the living God risen from the dead. -St Sharbel ✝️

@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father." Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words. Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith. Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12). The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!” Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated. Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.
@@jpd4676 The priest in a way is like Jesus. He blesses the Holy Eucharist as a sacrifice for our sins like a priest. He intercedes to God on our behalf to forgive our sins. Father Goring gives us spiritual teaching that brings us closer to God the Father. The Holy Spirit is with us on Earth, but sometimes we need a representative of Jesus in human form.
@@jpd4676 thanks for your concern over my salvation. You are wrong I do need someone to help guide me to Heaven, so I can be a better person. Remember the people I look up to are the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise. As far as the sacrifice goes at mass goes, we are to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our salvation. The bread we eat is actually Jesus and the wine we drink is Jesus blood. Before Jesus, the Jewish priests would eat the animal sacrifices the people made to God in reparations for their sins. Look I tried I believe six different Protestant churches and I never found God in those churches. I did not find anything that I could believe in. In many of them, I was the only person who actually read the Bible.
Happy Father’s Day, Father Mark. Please keep shepherding us, your flock. Praise be Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have you with us during these very different times

All the scientific evidence in the world means nothing to those who have an obstinate refusal to believe. Lord, open the eyes of all your children. Give us all humility.
This highlights the stark fact that only the Catholic Church is so rich in miracles, revelation, visions, and signs; not to mention saints. As a former Protestant, I can say without question they're strongly biased against such things as sanguine hosts which have been transformed. If three Protestant children told their parents they'd seen the Virgin Mary, it's almost a certainty that they'd be shunned until they recanted. No priest or authority would take their side. These attitudes toward the Eucharist and the saints turned me to the Holy Church.
God converted me out of atheism like He converted Paul from Judaism. For ten years I wandered around Protestantism. Pastor after pastor, “that wasn’t God” “God doesn’t do that anymore” “God only speaks through scripture”, blah blah blah. Here’s what I say to that, if God doesn’t speak to you, how do you know your interpretation of scripture is correct?
I have also experience such complete shutting out of anything supernatural among these non-Catholic "Christians". My priest went so far as to tell me not to engage them in any discussions about the Virgin Mary or Eucharist, since most of them are not even Christian!
@@michaelibach9063 That's just it! Regarding the various "interpretations" of Scripture, there are--as of the most recent count I heard--35,000+ denominations (churches) in Christianity. How many did Christ found? ONE, that which we today call the Catholic Church. And as to interpreting scripture, you have to have someone to be the final authority in doing so. That would be the Magisterium, or teaching authority, of His Church--else you'll splinter off into another "church".
@@vinceschenden7349 my conversion to Catholicism was also like Paul’s. I was raised antiCatholic so I avoided orthodoxy and Catholicism, but spent ten years studying Protestant teachings. Finding no rest, finding no Protestant denomination that was actually agreeing with what the Holy Spirit was teaching me personally. God started pushing me towards orthodoxy and Catholicism. Surprise, surprise, everything I had been taught about Catholicism in Protestantism was wrong and Catholicism lined up very well. I intellectually converted to Catholicism on the feast of Saint Paul’s conversion and was confirmed Paul when I entered the church. I hadn’t selected a name by the time my confirmation came around. God whispered that to me when the priest asked what name I wanted. It was literally the only name in my head.
*Happy Father’s Day Father Mark!!* Thank you so much for being such a wonderful spiritual father, as you lead and guide us all to our Father in Heaven. Hugging you with my prayers. 🙏🏼 God bless you always!! ♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️

JPD, if you read Luke 15:11-32 you will see Jesus himself use the word father 9 times in the story of the prodigal son. Only one example of our Lord and savior using the word “father” in the Bible. A man will leave his father and mother an cleave to his wife, have you read Mt 1:2 “ Abraham became the “father of Issac, and so on through the Genealogy of Jesus. My 10:35. Or the reading of “what father would hand his son a snake. Plus many more references to earthly “fathers”
JPD correct that’s why when reading scared scriptures one must take into account context. As Jesus said to Peter you will head His church, when He gave him the keys, therefore the person at your local church would be the father of it, not the whole universal church that Jesus started. It’s a respect issue. Which by the way Jesus didn’t create many different denominations, just one universal church, and didn’t relinquish the keys to anyone else. Same goes for taking oaths, see Mt5:33. Do you swear to tell the truth…..

As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith. Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12). The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!” Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated. Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.

Hence why the Eucharist deserves to always be handled with the utmost reverence hence no one but a priest certainly not your neighbour and not not in our hands.
Was in town visiting from Montreal today and made a special point to attend mass at your church. Wonderful service father. So much strong energy. I loved it! Your parishioners are lucky to have you and you them. And it Was nice saying hello in person
Many thanks with important Sunday reflections, may we all enjoy our day with the gospel, and appreciate the thoughtfulness Father Mark shares & inspires here, greatly enhances our love of daily prayers 💞🕊
We -- my wife and I -- love you and your work. You are remembered in our Rosary daily. ... And, still, the most impressive Eucharistic Miracle is our reception of Jesus at Mass today... not to diminish these others, of course. 🖒🤠
So much of the world, especially our Protestant brothers and sisters, are missing so much by having discarded the truth about the Eucharist. Pity. Come Holy Spirit and renew every human's heart.

Thank you Father for explaning about the Eucharistic miracle in Mexico. About 25 years ago, I read the book titled " Wonders of the Mass" by Fr. Paul O Sullivan. It taught me that the Holy Mass is the Calvary Sacrifice performed on the alter by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I attended daily Holy Mass and I fervantly receive the Holy Eucharist. I cannot explain the inner peace and joy when I start the day with Holy Mass. Our present Assistant priest, at the beginning of the Holy Mass says " Let us participate in the Calvary Sacrifice fervantly". If all the priests can say it, the fervour of the participants will increase. Thank you Father for all you do to bring us closer to the love and mercy of Jesus, our Saviour.
I believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist 100%, body, soul, blood and Divinity. i receive the Eucharist daily for the graces this offers-the strength to get thru life and the spiritual intimate connection with Jesus.
I started coming back to the Church about 24 years ago and *always took Communion in the hand* It wasn't until the pandemic hit that I began to know more about the Sacred Body of Christ and Eucharistic miracles that opened my eyes - I began to feel nervous and uneasy thinking that small pieces of His Body stayed in my hands and would fall to the floor so I stopped, completely, receiving Holy Communion since everywhere around me was given in the hand... Thankfully, after months, I found a Mass where I can receive with devotion and on the tongue His Sacred Body. I have read many comments of people witnessing or knowing of desecrations : the Holy Eucharist on the heel of a shoe (!!!) people swiping churches finding Holy Eucharists on the floor, one story involved a First Communion where the Host was on the floor with the teeth mark of the child (it's not the child fault but apparently, the child bit the Host didn't like and threw the Host on the ground) _It is scary so many sacrileges_ . Our Blessed Mother warned us in Garabandal : " *less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist* " May God help us✝️🛐
I dropped the eucharist once. I was horrified. I took communion in hand and took down my mask to put the Eucharist in my mouth. As I raised my hand, the eucharist hit my mask and broke in half. I picked it up right away and put it in my mouth. I made sure there was no crumb left. I spoke to the priest after mass. He didn't seem too concerned after I told him that I made sure there were no pieces left on the floor.
What a beautiful, inspirational story! Praise be to Jesus Christ now and forever! Thank you Father Mark for all your thought provoking videos. Viva Christo Rey! ❤️🙏
Upon learning about these miracles, reading the Bible fully, and focussing on everything said in the New Testament about the Eucharist, I was finally able to understand, appreciate, and believe in the Real Presence! The Holy Spirit has worked wonderful blessings into my life, and this understanding is one of them, what a gift, thank you God! Thank you Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus!
I've been to the Church where it happened... because of that miracle I met my husband. But the most amazing thing about the Church is that it has many statues, but I think maybe one or two are of Saints, the rest are of His Mother. And the biggest one was of our Sorrowful Mother. I smiled at our Lord, the most Powerful mamma's boy I know! 🥰 Like St. Maximilian Kolbe said , not to be afraid to love her with all our might, because we will never love her as much as Jesus does.
Dear Fr. Goring, We were lucky enough to attend Mass this past Sunday at your parish and hear your preach about this Eucharistic miracle first hand!! We felt truly blessed to be there. What a beautiful congregation, the faith and church were visibly thriving! And the Communion rails, just amazing! God bless you!!

Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.
@@jpd4676 The priest in a way is like Jesus. He blesses the Holy Eucharist as a sacrifice for our sins like a priest. He intercedes to God on our behalf to forgive our sins. Father Goring gives us spiritual teaching that brings us closer to God the Father. The Holy Spirit is with us on Earth, but sometimes we need a representative of Jesus in human form.
@@jpd4676 thanks for your concern over my salvation. You are wrong I do need someone to help guide me to Heaven, so I can be a better person. Remember the people I look up to are the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise.
As far as the sacrifice goes at mass goes, we are to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our salvation. The bread we eat is actually Jesus and the wine we drink is Jesus blood. Before Jesus, the Jewish priests would eat the animal sacrifices the people made to God in reparations for their sins.
Look I tried I believe six different Protestant churches and I never found God in those churches. I did not find anything that I could believe in. In many of them, I was the only person who actually read the Bible.
@@jpd4676 hopefully you never called your biological father "father".
Happy Father’s Day, Father Mark. Please keep shepherding us, your flock. Praise be Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have you with us during these very different times
@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father."
Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words.
Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.
Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12).
The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!”
Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism.

Viva Christo Rei Eucharist and Sacraments should never be locked away from Jesus's People... Fr. MARK FOR BISHOP...
The Bishop for Companion of the cross which would be Father Mark's Bishop is amazing too. I was blessed to have him as a Priest at my church for a year. Bishop Christian ✝️
I can anyone not believe? Jesus is trying to show us he is here...
Keep on glorifying the blood of Jesus that gushed forth as a fountain of mercy for all of us .
All the scientific evidence in the world means nothing to those who have an obstinate refusal to believe. Lord, open the eyes of all your children. Give us all humility.
This highlights the stark fact that only the Catholic Church is so rich in miracles, revelation, visions, and signs; not to mention saints. As a former Protestant, I can say without question they're strongly biased against such things as sanguine hosts which have been transformed. If three Protestant children told their parents they'd seen the Virgin Mary, it's almost a certainty that they'd be shunned until they recanted. No priest or authority would take their side. These attitudes toward the Eucharist and the saints turned me to the Holy Church.
Welcome!
God converted me out of atheism like He converted Paul from Judaism.
For ten years I wandered around Protestantism. Pastor after pastor, “that wasn’t God” “God doesn’t do that anymore” “God only speaks through scripture”, blah blah blah.
Here’s what I say to that, if God doesn’t speak to you, how do you know your interpretation of scripture is correct?
I have also experience such complete shutting out of anything supernatural among these non-Catholic "Christians". My priest went so far as to tell me not to engage them in any discussions about the Virgin Mary or Eucharist, since most of them are not even Christian!
@@michaelibach9063 That's just it! Regarding the various "interpretations" of Scripture, there are--as of the most recent count I heard--35,000+ denominations (churches) in Christianity. How many did Christ found? ONE, that which we today call the Catholic Church. And as to interpreting scripture, you have to have someone to be the final authority in doing so. That would be the Magisterium, or teaching authority, of His Church--else you'll splinter off into another "church".
@@vinceschenden7349 my conversion to Catholicism was also like Paul’s. I was raised antiCatholic so I avoided orthodoxy and Catholicism, but spent ten years studying Protestant teachings. Finding no rest, finding no Protestant denomination that was actually agreeing with what the Holy Spirit was teaching me personally. God started pushing me towards orthodoxy and Catholicism.
Surprise, surprise, everything I had been taught about Catholicism in Protestantism was wrong and Catholicism lined up very well. I intellectually converted to Catholicism on the feast of Saint Paul’s conversion and was confirmed Paul when I entered the church.
I hadn’t selected a name by the time my confirmation came around. God whispered that to me when the priest asked what name I wanted. It was literally the only name in my head.
Our God is an awesome God...
God is mi Idol and only HERO AMÉN
Jesus promised to be with us to the end of time. He is with us in the eucharistic miracle of the mass
*Happy Father’s Day Father Mark!!*

JPD, if you read Luke 15:11-32 you will see Jesus himself use the word father 9 times in the story of the prodigal son. Only one example of our Lord and savior using the word “father” in the Bible. A man will leave his father and mother an cleave to his wife, have you read Mt 1:2 “ Abraham became the “father of Issac, and so on through the Genealogy of Jesus. My 10:35. Or the reading of “what father would hand his son a snake. Plus many more references to earthly “fathers”
JPD correct that’s why when reading scared scriptures one must take into account context. As Jesus said to Peter you will head His church, when He gave him the keys, therefore the person at your local church would be the father of it, not the whole universal church that Jesus started. It’s a respect issue. Which by the way Jesus didn’t create many different denominations, just one universal church, and didn’t relinquish the keys to anyone else. Same goes for taking oaths, see Mt5:33. Do you swear to tell the truth…..
If I remember correctly all the Eucharistic miracles that have been studied, the tissue was shown to be of a male human heart, of the left ventricle.

Hey Kevin, if you’re interested, check out “Inspired By Carlos Acutis - Scientific Evidence of Eucharistic Miracles” by JoyofFaith on UA-cam. This video explains the studies and results from doctors/researchers who analyzed various Eucharistic miracles. God Bless.
The channel is actually called “The Joy of the Faith”
@@kevinkelly2162 indeed there have been many- I have seen some even with my own eyes 😍 The dna indicates the gender. They have been very well checked and verified. Do a little research- you just may be surprised. In fact scientific study is a necessary part of any event being determined a true miracle. Pretty amazing. God bless!
@@kevinkelly2162 Tissue contains DNA. DNA makes up our chromosomes. Chromosomes determine your gender. Every single cell in your body contains your entire genetic code. If someone could map out the entire genome of those tissue samples, you could tell the race, eye color, hair color, etc of the person.
@@kevinkelly2162 Hi Kevin, did you get a chance to watch the full video? It isn't based on the UA-cam channel's own personal opinion… he is relaying facts, pictures, videography, and findings from scientific studies conducted by doctors, some of whom he even interviews in this video. He also provides links in the description to the full interviews with doctors and published papers of the miraculous findings. It is all pretty amazing!
I showed one for decades Fr. Mark!

The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12).
The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!”
Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated. Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.

Amen🙏🏻I am blessed to receive the Body & Blood of Christ Bless You
Praised be Jesus Christ forever!! ❤🙏🙌🙏
Hence why the Eucharist deserves to always be handled with the utmost reverence hence no one but a priest certainly not your neighbour and not not in our hands.
More reverence was shown for Most Holy Himself 🕊🔥🕊🔥🕊🔥🕊
Was in town visiting from Montreal today and made a special point to attend mass at your church. Wonderful service father. So much strong energy. I loved it! Your parishioners are lucky to have you and you them. And it Was nice saying hello in person
🕊🙏🏼♥️
Happy Corpus Christi Father Mark
Happy Blessed Corpus Christi
Praise Jesus fully present in the Blessed Sacrament!
Awesome God. Thank you Jesus!
Many thanks with important Sunday reflections,
may we all enjoy our day with the gospel, and appreciate the thoughtfulness Father Mark shares & inspires here,
greatly enhances our love of daily prayers
💞🕊
Blessed and happy Corpus Christi, and happy Father’s Day Father Mark, we love and appreciate your inspirations ✝️🙏🥰
Happy Father's Day!
Happy Corpus Christi. God bless you.
We -- my wife and I -- love you and your work. You are remembered in our Rosary daily. ... And, still, the most impressive Eucharistic Miracle is our reception of Jesus at Mass today... not to diminish these others, of course. 🖒🤠
So much of the world, especially our Protestant brothers and sisters, are missing so much by having discarded the truth about the Eucharist. Pity.
Come Holy Spirit and renew every human's heart.
Praise be Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Why is this not front page news every day? (Rhetorical)
The obvious is that it's the devil that controls the media.

Sacred heart from God.. Viva Cristo!!

@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father."
Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words.
Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.

Beautiful moment to start my day. Thank you Fr Mark
Thank you Father for explaning about the Eucharistic miracle in Mexico. About 25 years ago, I read the book titled " Wonders of the Mass" by Fr. Paul O Sullivan. It taught me that the Holy Mass is the Calvary Sacrifice performed on the alter by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I attended daily Holy Mass and I fervantly receive the Holy Eucharist. I cannot explain the inner peace and joy when I start the day with Holy Mass.
Our present Assistant priest, at the beginning of the Holy Mass says " Let us participate in the Calvary Sacrifice fervantly". If all the priests can say it, the fervour of the participants will increase. Thank you Father for all you do to bring us closer to the love and mercy of Jesus, our Saviour.
Be happy always brother
Happy Father's Day Fr. Mark and have a glorious Corpus Christi.
Happy Corpus Christi father.. Viva Christore
Stories of eucharistic miracles brought me back to the faith.
From what I understand the blood in the Eucharistic Miracles is type AB, which is also the blood type on the Shroud of Turin.
With only a Y chromosome- yet most still have doubts - oh WE of little faith. Should all change our name to Thomas...✝️🕊✝️
@@billyhomeyer7414 Really? Wow. Not XY, just Y?
@@cosmicexaminer1600 yup, look it up. Plenty of places to find out. The shroud and examined hosts all have only the one chromosome donated by Mary
I believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist 100%, body, soul, blood and Divinity. i receive the Eucharist daily for the graces this offers-the strength to get thru life and the spiritual intimate connection with Jesus.
I started coming back to the Church about 24 years ago and *always took Communion in the hand* It wasn't until the pandemic hit that I began to know more about the Sacred Body of Christ and Eucharistic miracles that opened my eyes - I began to feel nervous and uneasy thinking that small pieces of His Body stayed in my hands and would fall to the floor so I stopped, completely, receiving Holy Communion since everywhere around me was given in the hand... Thankfully, after months, I found a Mass where I can receive with devotion and on the tongue His Sacred Body.
I have read many comments of people witnessing or knowing of desecrations : the Holy Eucharist on the heel of a shoe (!!!) people swiping churches finding Holy Eucharists on the floor, one story involved a First Communion where the Host was on the floor with the teeth mark of the child (it's not the child fault but apparently, the child bit the Host didn't like and threw the Host on the ground) _It is scary so many sacrileges_ . Our Blessed Mother warned us in Garabandal : " *less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist* "
May God help us✝️🛐
I dropped the eucharist once. I was horrified.
I took communion in hand and took down my mask to put the Eucharist in my mouth. As I raised my hand, the eucharist hit my mask and broke in half. I picked it up right away and put it in my mouth. I made sure there was no crumb left. I spoke to the priest after mass. He didn't seem too concerned after I told him that I made sure there were no pieces left on the floor.
Happy Fathers Day to God Our Father & to all our Fathers & Spiritual Fathers especially you Fr Mark!
Awwww 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 I love you my Jesus !!
We are Wash by The BLOOD ,Protected by BLOOD ,Saved by the BLOOD!!!Jesus We Love with all of Our Hearts!!!
We are so blest that when we receive the Eucharist we are receiving the body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Happy Corpus Christi, Father. 💕💖🕊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼📿✝️🎼🎶I hope you have a joyous day! Viva Christo Rey!
My Lord and my God! ALLELUIA!
Thanks be to God

Thank you 🙏🏻 FATHER MARK GORING, THANK YOU 🙏🏻 🕊
Lord Jesus, present in the most holy Eucharist, have mercy on us sinners 🙏
Thanks father
What a beautiful, inspirational story! Praise be to Jesus Christ now and forever! Thank you Father Mark for all your thought provoking videos. Viva Christo Rey! ❤️🙏
Upon learning about these miracles, reading the Bible fully, and focussing on everything said in the New Testament about the Eucharist, I was finally able to understand, appreciate, and believe in the Real Presence! The Holy Spirit has worked wonderful blessings into my life, and this understanding is one of them, what a gift, thank you God! Thank you Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus!
The Eucharistic Heart of God is the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Amen! Oh my beloved Jesus!!! 🙏❤️
Happy Corpus Christi ❤ Father Mark.🙏
I've been to the Church where it happened... because of that miracle I met my husband. But the most amazing thing about the Church is that it has many statues, but I think maybe one or two are of Saints, the rest are of His Mother. And the biggest one was of our Sorrowful Mother.
I smiled at our Lord, the most Powerful mamma's boy I know! 🥰
Like St. Maximilian Kolbe said , not to be afraid to love her with all our might, because we will never love her as much as Jesus does.
Which church is this ?
Love this video.
God bless you
Viva Cristo Rey!
Viva La Virgen!
Thank you Jesus! ❤️
Dear Fr. Goring,
We were lucky enough to attend Mass this past Sunday at your parish and hear your preach about this Eucharistic miracle first hand!! We felt truly blessed to be there. What a beautiful congregation, the faith and church were visibly thriving! And the Communion rails, just amazing! God bless you!!
Happy Father’s Day Fr Goring May this be a joyful and wonderful day and always 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Happy corpus christi.
Happy Father’s Day!!!! God bless you!!!
