Yeah! Some knowledgeable people are saying is happening this year during spring- early summer 😬😳. I just don’t know how to approach my two grown daughters about this. One is going through a divorce right now, how I’m going to place this on top of what she already has? 🥲😢
These times were made for saints. We were born for these times and God expects us to "get it together" spiritually and in the other areas of our lives...health, preparedness, our families, etc. It is an all-out war that is coming: spiritually and physically. Learn who your enemies are.

Thank you, Fr. Ripperger, for explaining that the retraction of grace and the increase and depth of sin and corruption thst we are seeing these days are actually part of the chastisement willed and announced by God. I find this a consolation and counterpoint to the immense sadness that the chaos in the Church and in all society causes me. It seems that the better response to sorrow or despair is continual contrition and reparation.
Thank you very much Father. I live in a part of China where there IS free unsurveillanced access for ordinary people to a Catholic priest. But even if there isn’t I am not at all worried. As long as we have fingers or toes (or can count in our mind) we can always, always say the Rosary. The Lord WILL PROVIDE for the needs of my soul as long as I have done absolutely everything I can to follow the teachings of the church. I am sorry but no one, no Pope, no Cardinal, no bishop no priest can persuade me otherwise on this point. The Lord and no one else knows whether I love Him, and whether I have a place at his banquet at the end. He is in charge of me, 100%.
I am 100 percent in agreement with you. God knows your heart. Do not worry about tomorrow. Just stay hopeful, faithful and be charitable with everyone.
I pray daily for the Underground Catholic Church in the world wherever they may be. Blessed to hear the Hong Kong story. May the Lord bless and protect you always.
@@marnatz5 Thank you so much my brother / sister. Let me share this thought with you: If God can turn pagan Rome Christian, why are so we worried about the state of the Christian faith in Communist China? Do we not have absolute faith in Him?

My turn around was during coivd lock downs , because I felt the physical separation from God via the closed doors of the Church, I now get daily mass as much as I can it sustains me .
Exactly. It sure opened my eyes to the devastation of being without Jesus in the Eucharist; and to having the blessing and nurturing the gift of gratitude of being able to recieve Him daily. 🙏🕊❤✝️⛪
It occurs to me that many a saint in past times has gone long periods with no priest available. But somehow they lived a holy life and died in sanctity. So I think we need to keep in mind that God's mercy is indeed limitless, if we ask for it and sincerely strive for holiness. There were some absolutely beautiful photos shown during this video - Thank you!
When the Pandemic hit in California and the Governor shut everything down, i was devastated when we couldn't receive the Eucharist for months and months. I ended up walking out of the parish i was part of, because i felt that our Priest was bowing down too much to the hype of the governor, and wasn't doing anything to make sure we received Jesus. Then i went to my former faith community, the Oblates of St. Joseph Shrine near me, and low and behold the Provential Priest there had managed to get the people there to contribute to these two huge covered tents, and folding chairs, and he had daily confession and Holy Mass Every week, rain, cold, wind or shine, and brought us the greatest gift we could recieve... the Holy Eucharist. I can't imagine this happening again. Yet this video talk by Fr. Rippberger is so very helpful, and i am deeply grateful. Jesus said: If you Stand firm in the faith until the end, you will be saved. Pray for each other brothers and sisters. God Bless you all 🙏❤🕊✝️⛪ The Cathedrals shown here are just MAGNIFICENT !
So you walked desperately to receive your savior that was there all along? For what? The rules of the church. Don’t need it don’t do it! Jesus Christ is all that is required. Give yourself to him and him alone. PLEASE.
@@bradleyjones7391 , No dearheart. You misunderstand. Non-Catholics have this strange concept that they know and are more faithful and obedient to Christ than are those who have been disciples of His for 2000 years. You have Jesus in your minds, which you profess with your words only. Apostolic Catholics receive Jesus Himself -- Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Sacrament of Grace called Holy Eucharist-- which Christ Himself instituted at the Last Supper, when He said: THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD. You can also find this Teaching and command of His in John 6. God Bless.
I’m in California and the same thing happened to us! We left our parish which you had to wear a mask and even sign up if you wanted to attend (for contact tracing) We found a small parish that held Mass next door to their church in a park. We attended in the extreme heat, rain or shine. We were such a close community. The priest had kneelers and encouraged everyone to receive kneeling and on the tongue. I miss those days.
@@mrs.h3779, Yes, in a way I miss them too, because there was usually only standing room left, outside in the gardens, because so many people came to attend. ❤
From the way Father Ripperger, I am afraid it is going to be worse than COVID. Imagine where the priest will be jailed/persecuted. It is going on in China, Middle East, Nicaraguan, and etc… pray for them and hope that it won’t happen in the US.
Dear God, make us all prudent, humble, and wise to face all trials that are ahead of us. Praise the Lord for fr. Ripperger. Saint Michael the Archangel, we beg you for your protection and guidance. Amen.❤
Pray, pray, pray. Pray the rosary with Father Riperger! Attend any and every mass that you can. Stay in a state of grace! Catholic men, please join the Knights Of Columbus.
You are right Father about perfect contrition! I have been praying for perfect contrition for years and have not been graced with it. Its not a prayer formula that we can just say and all is good. Perfect contrtion is truly a gift from God.
Read Bso. Athanasius Schneider’s book, Christi Vivcit chapter 1 in which he describes his own experience under Communism with his family as they were denied Mass, access to a priest. He describes his deep closeness to Our Lord through Spiritual Communions.
TYVM! I have been “seeing” an Armageddon for over a year now. Our Lord is offended. We must come back to Him. We must call on the army of Heaven to help us.
Thank you for this spiritual toolkit as we begin to prepare for a very difficult chapter ahead in Church history. It honestly made me weep as I watched, feeling the desolation that comes with not having access to the sacraments that we all take for granted - weddings, baptisms, mass, confession, extreme unction. This is what the people of Ireland endured during the time of Cromwell's suppression of the Church, and I assume happened in 1780s during the French Revolution, in China, and wherever the Church was suppressed. In the turmoil of the past year in the Church AND global political events this information is feeling very much like spiritual direction for Catholics who recognize the reality of the situation. Thank you, Fr Ripperger,
1) daily spiritual communion 2) learn emergency baptism (Padre Peregrino had a good video in explaining it) 3) prep physically, get some supplies/food but don't go crazy if you don't have the means 4) say an act of contrition after you have committed venial sin...do daily examination of conscience 5) don't commit mortal sin 6) rosary and devotions 7) start practicing small suffering now....accept a long stoplight or grocery line, do some fasting....sorry if I missed anything
I think it is “Universalis” on-line (free) and has an App. that has Mass readings for the whole year, and for the Hours. Also The Little Office of the Virgin Mary for the year. but if the power is out, a hard copy is prob a good idea. or a solar charger for phones and devices. if wifi goes down, then IDK ❤
My son who was a very premature birth was baptized twice, by Catholic priests. Once in the NICU and then again in the church in the formal baptism. Praying that this is ok!!
@@euchariambachu2543 It was not two baptisms. The second was rectifying the NICU lay baptism. A lay person cannot give the exorcisms, etc. But had the baby not survived, he’d have gone straight to Heaven. Since that did not happen, he will need the extra graces assuming he lives to the age of accountability. It’s actually Church law to present such a person to the priest in a Church according to the normal means.
Nothing stops you from saying the rosary. Even if you don't own one. If all the physical sacrament went away, it doesn't change your faith, or it shouldn't
Agh.. I baptized my son when he was an infant. He is adopted and I called the church and they wouldn’t Baptize him until the adoption was final. So as not to potentially cause a problem. I was heart broken and my mother said you can baptize him until we can have his actually baptism. So that’s what I did??? I hope I didn’t make a mistake!! He was formally baptized by the church once the adoption was all done and closed but yes,, I did my best and I baptized my son when he was a baby for his safety is why I did it..
You did right. But, if you have anxiety about it, find a good, holy, faithful, obedient and knowledgeable Catholic Priest and make an appointment to discuss it. Confession is still very important; but the Priest can advise you better outside of the Sacrament of Reconciliation/Penance/Confession. God Bless you 🙏❤🕊✝️⛪
You did your best...with the knowledge and understanding you had at the time...trust in God in all things - He is faithful! If you used the correct matter and form and valid intentions, then your child was validly baptized. All you need to do - I believe - is meet with your parish priest to explain the date, place and reason for the emergency baptism. From what you've said here - you have no moral culpability as far as sin.
He was in fact formerly baptized into the Catholic Church after the adoption became valid when he was just over a year old.. yah sometimes it takes awhile..
Over the last 5 years, I’ve been promoted to gather books for nurturing my faith. Why? Perhaps for these times. P.S. "Promoted" was the wrong word choice. Must have been tired.
When Fr. R talks about Fortitude, the image that comes to mind is Rocky Balboa...going 12 rounds and sustaining blow after blow, after blow. Lol. The blows coming for us are going to be much worse, but fasting and moritifcation now are certainly key because they're effectively "preliminary rounds" of suffering to develop our pain tolerance for what's coming. God bless.
Living and praying in the Divine Will are also good. Mary through the visionaries has said we need to establish a close relationship with ALL the Angels for this time coming, pray the Chaplet of St. Michael daily. Excellent talk Father, we really needed this as I like others were wondering what exactly do we do as we will not have been through this before here in the US, not like Communism. Any other prepatory talks will certainly be welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to get us up to speed. God Bless! 😇🙏💕
I’m glad to find this. I’ve been feeling anxious over the fact I just found out I’ve got a deadly disease, but I can’t go to mass because I had surgery, and I can’t get anyone at any of the 4 parishes I’ve contacted to respond to me about anointing of the sick or planning for death. The Protestant chaplain at the hospital said a prayer with me, and followed up after I returned home. Sadly, my mom’s Protestant pastor is retiring at the end of this year too, so she will be without anyone to reinforce her faith during all this too. She lost her mom year before last, my dad last year, and now faces losing me, so of course I worry about her. I’m a convert, so I wanted to arrange my funeral to relieve her of trying to fulfill Catholic customs, but I know as little as she does, but now she won’t even be able to get her Protestant minister to officiate. Not to mention that I’d just like to do as much as I still can to die in a good state. I pray God forgives me, because all I can do is privately express my sorrow for all the times I’ve sinned against him, and the church has nothing to offer, not even simple human contact. It’s pretty stark to realize you aren’t part of a Christian community. You’re just alone, and the church can’t bring you any closer to the Lord than your simple faith and love can bring you.
My uncle was actively dying of seven kinds of leukemia from his time in the military doing nuclear testing in Nevada. He was given up by the doctors and was back home in a hospital bed in the den, where he wanted to die. My aunt called all over including to her own parish and couldn’t get a priest. A neighbor lady whom she didn’t know all that well somehow heard of my uncle’s illness. She came over with several casseroles so my aunt and disabled cousin didn’t have to cook. It turned out she was a Maronite Catholic and her priest was glad to come to him. He was literally there in an hour. My uncle made his confession, received Holy Communion, and Last Rites. My uncle passed away peacefully two days later. After this experience, my aunt, cousin, and two of my married cousins all found the SSPX and have gone there ever since. It’s a 90 minute drive, but well worth it. Two of the adult grandchildren do the driving. My aunt is now 92, but rarely misses Mass.
Thank you Father Ripperger for this very informative video about the Sacraments which is very much needed during this tumultuous times in our Churches and in the world. Your video is being forwarded to other people and is saved to listen again. One more time Thank you 🙏
Courage will be so needed.. as it was for the Martyrs! If we love God tenderly every day ..and ask Him to give us whatever we will need to carry out His will ..He will most certainly be with us as he was with the three men in the fiery furnace and every Martyr .. We have to make the most of every day while we are still able,to grow closer to Him,Our Lady and the Saints..and Angels.. and keep our eyes on HOME
My UA-cam choice for tonight - Fr. Ripperger vs. Jordan Peterson, Bishop Barron and Fr. Mike Schmitz - I choose Fr. Ripperger! Thank you for saving my soul Father. 🙏🙏🙏
@@mirandamarie84 I actually personally met him and Tucker in Calgary a couple of weeks ago. I just feel that he is wrestling with his intellect and submission to God with the help of Tammy he will get there in the end. Also he has been under an enormous amount of stress since 2017. But still would rather listen to Fr. Ripperger (sorry Jordan). Haven’t actually watched the panel discussion yet it is on my list.
My mother and I recently had Covid. When I called our pastor and asked if someone could bring the holy Eucharist to our home I was told that he didn't feel comfortable asking anyone to do so. He then suggested that I notify him when we were cleared by our doctor.
Can't hear the people's questions Father - I do wish you would repeat their questions so we can know what is being asked and answered. Thank you for your teaching.
Father is right that there will be temptation to distraction during chastisement, as it says in scripture. "I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted" Psalm 88:15
Not necessarily, since the Internet allows us to have, at the very least, a glimpse or sense of the level of malfeasence and evil existing in our time. The truth is easily accessible, yet obscured by much distraction, distortion and obsfucation, by much of the present media machine.
I know that things will only get worse from here on, so I've been asking myself a lot lately - what will I do to get absolution from my sins when the persecution to the Church tightens - when Churches close, when priests either leave their vocations or have to go into hiding or captivity. How will we go about confessing our sins and be forgiven? Because by then we will certainly be without the Eucharist, unfortunately.
Search online for a PDF version of "Perfect Contrition: The Golden Key to Paradise." It will suffice if you find yourself without a priest in the lead up to or during the reign of the antichrist.
There is a " Sacramental " called the Pardon cross. Search for it online, and get a Latin Mass Priest to bless it. The cross will come with a Prayer, which you need to say if you're near death. This only works when a Priest is not available. It was recommended by Pope Pius X. Your sins will then be forgiven. God bless you 🙏
Dear fr Ripperger, I am not a Catholic but a Christian Orthodox. Even so I often offer my sufferings to Our Lady for the sake of pope Francisc to the best of my poor ability. Today I trust she has shown me the pope as a great fire which brings the Light to the entire church and I was left with a strong conviction that his level of Holiness is not something I will ever comprehend. I know she loves him in a different manner then any of us. I need you to know that no "draconian" thing can be born from such a fire of God. Father please bless my weak soul.
There are none so blind as those who will not see ; none so deaf as those who will not hear! See the SIGNS OF THE TIMES! I personally woukd not want to be an ostrich burying my head in the sand, pretending it is not happening!
We must learn from our Japanese and English brethern as they had to endure terrible persecution and were regularly unable to have any sacraments, rosaries, scripture, or worship. We as Christians are a flower that grows under stress
Thank you, I truly needed to see your comment. Lately I've been impelled to go to the sick/dying. I'm no Priest, but I am a child of GOD & can't stand before the Holy Sacrament with empty hands anymore !!!
Remember the promises of the Rosary and the Brown Scapular. I say, very humbly, develop absolute confidence in Mary! With the Rosary, we're assured that if we pray daily, Our Lady will ensure we get the sacraments before dying or at least obtain the grace of final perseverance. That is one of the 15 promises. And The Brown Scapular's Sabbatine Privilege means Mary will intercede to free us from Purgatory quickly if we've lived up to that devotion's conditions. As I understand it, Her help in the hour of death is guaranteed. Nothing replaces sacraments! Yet these special devotions are like spiritual lifelines in desperate times. They tap into the Church's teachings on God's mercy, the communion of saints, and Our Lady's roles. Staying faithful to them helps me trust that even without access to a priest, God's grace can still reach us extraordinarily through Mary's hands. And Fr. Ripperger has been invaluable to me. His books are essential. (Check out Dominion if you have not.) Ave Maria! 📿
@@bradleyjones7391Read in John about the wedding of Cana. Mary was the one who asked Jesus to perform his first miracle. Jesus said,”Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.” Then Mary said to the servers, “Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.” Then he performed his first miracle and started his ministry. The point is, he listens to his mother, and she can intercede for you. Can you go straight to Jesus, obviously yes. But the prayers of the righteous availeth much, and there is no human creature that has existed more righteous than Mary! Who is he going to respect a request from more? You, or the most holy human to ever live?
@@bradleyjones7391it's the graces of Jesus on the cross conferred through Mary. We do not think Mary has any power of Her own, only the power given Her by Her Son. Please at least know what our theology is before criticizing it.
That is a great question I've been having trouble with lately. Here in Brazil we almost don't have T.M, it's mostly Novus Ordo. And since the priests in the different parishes have become aware I prefer Catholicism prior to Second Vatican Council II it's been tough on me to get to confession. Also they have been pushing forward in ways to dessacrate even the Novus Ordo like putting the Eucharist Minister to lead Mass, and the priest will be absent.
This is heart breaking, i now we have to be atrong and accept Gods will but im already suffering with the collaps of america i pray God delivers us from such horrendous times but i dont think my prayers matter 😏 Father im so afraid and i can't bear to see my small children suffer 😭💔 God forgive me because im weak 🫤😪
As I believe Padre Pio said we could live without the sun better than we could live without their eucharist. And we can't live without the sun so ... what to do?
The fact that Fr. Ripperger is giving a talk about this, it is telling me that the time is getting nearer. He is preparing us already. Pray.
That's exactly what I thought! Pray!
Yes , I am thinking the same thing.
Thats why our Lady has been appearing for the past 41 yrs in Medjugorie.

Yeah! Some knowledgeable people are saying is happening this year during spring- early summer 😬😳. I just don’t know how to approach my two grown daughters about this. One is going through a divorce right now, how I’m going to place this on top of what she already has? 🥲😢
I pray for the gift of final perseverance. I hope I can have sufficient freedom from distraction so I can offer up my suffering
I need the same grace sister

There's a difference between voluntary suffering and involuntary suffering. It's the difference between knowing of JESUS & knowing CHRIST.

Listening to Father Ripperger helps me prepare for suffering
After seeing what took place at St Patrick's Cathedral on Thursday this is expected to happen. Repent Pray, make Reparations
What happened?
“Thursday, pews at the historic Catholic church were packed with mourners for Gentili, who at one time professed to be an atheist in her off-Broadway show. Many Catholics have expressed outrage, saying the funeral made a mockery of the faith, including by some of the language used during eulogies.”
There was a eulogy which Catholics don't allow, using words such as whore and so much more
That was so horrific, I stop watching it right away, I couldn't believe why they allowed this to happen ,
Boy, is that the truth! What a horrific event at St. Patrick's Cathedral. What a mess. So, yes, we are in for a very rough ride.
My turn around was during coivd lock downs , because I felt the physical separation from God via the closed doors of the Church, I now get daily mass as much as I can it sustains me .
God be praised! 🥰🙏🏼

If you Stand firm in the faith until the end, you will be saved.
Pray for each other brothers and sisters.
God Bless you all 🙏❤🕊✝️⛪
The Cathedrals shown here are just MAGNIFICENT !
So you walked desperately to receive your savior that was there all along? For what? The rules of the church. Don’t need it don’t do it! Jesus Christ is all that is required. Give yourself to him and him alone. PLEASE.
@@bradleyjones7391 ,
No dearheart. You misunderstand.
Non-Catholics have this strange concept that they know and are more faithful and obedient to Christ than are those who have been disciples of His for 2000 years.
You have Jesus in your minds, which you profess with your words only.
Apostolic Catholics receive Jesus Himself -- Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Sacrament of Grace called Holy Eucharist-- which Christ Himself instituted at the Last Supper, when He said:
THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD.
You can also find this Teaching and command of His in John 6.
God Bless.
I’m in California and the same thing happened to us! We left our parish which you had to wear a mask and even sign up if you wanted to attend (for contact tracing) We found a small parish that held Mass next door to their church in a park. We attended in the extreme heat, rain or shine. We were such a close community. The priest had kneelers and encouraged everyone to receive kneeling and on the tongue. I miss those days.
@@mrs.h3779,
Yes, in a way I miss them too, because there was usually only standing room left, outside in the gardens, because so many people came to attend.
❤
From the way Father Ripperger, I am afraid it is going to be worse than COVID. Imagine where the priest will be jailed/persecuted. It is going on in China, Middle East, Nicaraguan, and etc… pray for them and hope that it won’t happen in the US.
Dear God, make us all prudent, humble, and wise to face all trials that are ahead of us. Praise the Lord for fr. Ripperger. Saint Michael the Archangel, we beg you for your protection and guidance. Amen.❤
Pray, pray, pray. Pray the rosary with Father Riperger! Attend any and every mass that you can. Stay in a state of grace! Catholic men, please join the Knights Of Columbus.
God Will be with us. Hard times is the spyglass God uses to get to know the heart of men❤
Jesus Jesus Jesus 🙏❤️
You are right Father about perfect contrition! I have been praying for perfect contrition for years and have not been graced with it. Its not a prayer formula that we can just say and all is good. Perfect contrtion is truly a gift from God.
You don't know that you don't have perfect contrition.
Read Bso. Athanasius Schneider’s book, Christi Vivcit chapter 1 in which he describes his own experience under Communism with his family as they were denied Mass, access to a priest. He describes his deep closeness to Our Lord through Spiritual Communions.
TYVM! I have been “seeing” an Armageddon for over a year now. Our Lord is offended. We must come back to Him. We must call on the army of Heaven to help us.
Thank you Fr. Ripperger!
Thank you for this spiritual toolkit as we begin to prepare for a very difficult chapter ahead in Church history. It honestly made me weep as I watched, feeling the desolation that comes with not having access to the sacraments that we all take for granted - weddings, baptisms, mass, confession, extreme unction. This is what the people of Ireland endured during the time of Cromwell's suppression of the Church, and I assume happened in 1780s during the French Revolution, in China, and wherever the Church was suppressed. In the turmoil of the past year in the Church AND global political events this information is feeling very much like spiritual direction for Catholics who recognize the reality of the situation. Thank you, Fr Ripperger,
A brilliant summary of what lies ahead ! Thank you and God bless and protect you Father.
Lord, help me to not lose my faith in the face of my enemies.
Pray pray pray. We need much prayer to have the courage needed for upcoming times.
Do you know what's sad about this is that most Catholics don't know about this because we were never taught it
I am praying for my son Luke who is newly married, that his marriage is successful!
This is the most helpful Fr Ripperger talk I think I've ever heard (and that IS saying something)
Lord God help me to carry my cross🙏🏻❤️
Please make this a pamphlet for people to download and print
Please don’t!
@@CatholicWhisperwhy?
1) daily spiritual communion 2) learn emergency baptism (Padre Peregrino had a good video in explaining it) 3) prep physically, get some supplies/food but don't go crazy if you don't have the means 4) say an act of contrition after you have committed venial sin...do daily examination of conscience 5) don't commit mortal sin 6) rosary and devotions 7) start practicing small suffering now....accept a long stoplight or grocery line, do some fasting....sorry if I missed anything
And maybe get a church missal so you can read the Mass on Sundays if you have no priests available
I think it is “Universalis” on-line (free) and has an App. that has Mass readings for the whole year, and for the Hours. Also The Little Office of the Virgin Mary for the year. but if the power is out, a hard copy is prob a good idea. or a solar charger for phones and devices. if wifi goes down, then IDK ❤
I say the Holy Rosary every day. Plus the Chaplet of Divine Rosary.
You meant to say...the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, i believe!
My son who was a very premature birth was baptized twice, by Catholic priests. Once in the NICU and then again in the church in the formal baptism. Praying that this is ok!!
Yes it is
@@seemashalini4187 No, you can't be baptize twice. It is in the Catechism of the Catholic church.
@@euchariambachu2543and?
@@euchariambachu2543 It was not two baptisms. The second was rectifying the NICU lay baptism. A lay person cannot give the exorcisms, etc. But had the baby not survived, he’d have gone straight to Heaven. Since that did not happen, he will need the extra graces assuming he lives to the age of accountability. It’s actually Church law to present such a person to the priest in a Church according to the normal means.
Nothing stops you from saying the rosary. Even if you don't own one. If all the physical sacrament went away, it doesn't change your faith, or it shouldn't
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST !!!!
They just don’t get it. So sad. Jesus please love them and forgive them they do not know what they do.
@@bradleyjones7391,
Tell us then please...what don't they get?
Agh.. I baptized my son when he was an infant. He is adopted and I called the church and they wouldn’t Baptize him until the adoption was final. So as not to potentially cause a problem. I was heart broken and my mother said you can baptize him until we can have his actually baptism. So that’s what I did??? I hope I didn’t make a mistake!! He was formally baptized by the church once the adoption was all done and closed but yes,, I did my best and I baptized my son when he was a baby for his safety is why I did it..
I wouldn't be worried about sinning mortally if I did that, since you did not know it is a mortal sin.
Even a heretic or a pagan can baptize a person. in an emergency.
You did right.
But, if you have anxiety about it, find a good, holy, faithful, obedient and knowledgeable Catholic Priest and make an appointment to discuss it.
Confession is still very important; but the Priest can advise you better outside of the Sacrament of Reconciliation/Penance/Confession.
God Bless you 🙏❤🕊✝️⛪
You did your best...with the knowledge and understanding you had at the time...trust in God in all things - He is faithful! If you used the correct matter and form and valid intentions, then your child was validly baptized. All you need to do - I believe - is meet with your parish priest to explain the date, place and reason for the emergency baptism. From what you've said here - you have no moral culpability as far as sin.
He was in fact formerly baptized into the Catholic Church after the adoption became valid when he was just over a year old.. yah sometimes it takes awhile..
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Over the last 5 years, I’ve been promoted to gather books for nurturing my faith. Why? Perhaps for these times.
P.S. "Promoted" was the wrong word choice. Must have been tired.
I have been doing the same thing we have to know our Catholic Faith in these times so we don’t fall into false teachings
As have I.
Me too
Same here. I've learnt from them what is taught no longer by the Church and the priests.
Me too. Just found a lovely used Baltimore Catechism.
May God continue to Bless you in all that you do. 🙏
Make sure to wear brown scapular as long as possible every day. I try to only have it off in the shower since i don't want to get it wet.
It'll dry quickly or have two, new one for wearing always, older worn one for washing.
I wash in shower while it's on and it dries very quickly!
It's not as if the graces aren't there if you aren't wearing it in the shower. The Carmelite order has even said this.
I wear mine in the shower. Dry myself off, put a new Scapular on and hang up the wet Scapular to dry.
Father Issac Mary Relyea mentioned put on an old scapular for the shower. That way you're protected at all times.
I made an act of perfect contrition this year. And I think I’m restored to my baptismal grace.
Thank God I baptized all three of my kids as an emergency in the hospital!
My priest told me to keep praying for my sons, as well as my daughter and to not ever give up
When Fr. R talks about Fortitude, the image that comes to mind is Rocky Balboa...going 12 rounds and sustaining blow after blow, after blow. Lol. The blows coming for us are going to be much worse, but fasting and moritifcation now are certainly key because they're effectively "preliminary rounds" of suffering to develop our pain tolerance for what's coming. God bless.
Living and praying in the Divine Will are also good. Mary through the visionaries has said we need to establish a close relationship with ALL the Angels for this time coming, pray the Chaplet of St. Michael daily. Excellent talk Father, we really needed this as I like others were wondering what exactly do we do as we will not have been through this before here in the US, not like Communism. Any other prepatory talks will certainly be welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to get us up to speed. God Bless! 😇🙏💕
I’m glad to find this. I’ve been feeling anxious over the fact I just found out I’ve got a deadly disease, but I can’t go to mass because I had surgery, and I can’t get anyone at any of the 4 parishes I’ve contacted to respond to me about anointing of the sick or planning for death. The Protestant chaplain at the hospital said a prayer with me, and followed up after I returned home. Sadly, my mom’s Protestant pastor is retiring at the end of this year too, so she will be without anyone to reinforce her faith during all this too. She lost her mom year before last, my dad last year, and now faces losing me, so of course I worry about her. I’m a convert, so I wanted to arrange my funeral to relieve her of trying to fulfill Catholic customs, but I know as little as she does, but now she won’t even be able to get her Protestant minister to officiate. Not to mention that I’d just like to do as much as I still can to die in a good state. I pray God forgives me, because all I can do is privately express my sorrow for all the times I’ve sinned against him, and the church has nothing to offer, not even simple human contact. It’s pretty stark to realize you aren’t part of a Christian community. You’re just alone, and the church can’t bring you any closer to the Lord than your simple faith and love can bring you.
My uncle was actively dying of seven kinds of leukemia from his time in the military doing nuclear testing in Nevada. He was given up by the doctors and was back home in a hospital bed in the den, where he wanted to die. My aunt called all over including to her own parish and couldn’t get a priest. A neighbor lady whom she didn’t know all that well somehow heard of my uncle’s illness. She came over with several casseroles so my aunt and disabled cousin didn’t have to cook. It turned out she was a Maronite Catholic and her priest was glad to come to him. He was literally there in an hour. My uncle made his confession, received Holy Communion, and Last Rites. My uncle passed away peacefully two days later.
After this experience, my aunt, cousin, and two of my married cousins all found the SSPX and have gone there ever since. It’s a 90 minute drive, but well worth it. Two of the adult grandchildren do the driving. My aunt is now 92, but rarely misses Mass.
Thank you Father Ripperger for this very informative video about the Sacraments which is very much needed during this tumultuous times in our Churches and in the world. Your video is being forwarded to other people and is saved to listen again. One more time Thank you 🙏
Thank you to this Holy Priest Father Ripperger We need more Priest like him! May God Bless you Father 🙏✝️❤️
Courage will be so needed.. as it was for the Martyrs! If we love God tenderly every day ..and ask Him to give us whatever we will need to carry out His will ..He will most certainly be with us as he was with the three men in the fiery furnace and every Martyr .. We have to make the most of every day while we are still able,to grow closer to Him,Our Lady and the Saints..and Angels.. and keep our eyes on HOME
Father please consider writing a book with all of this info in it….😊
Thank you Fr Ripperger! Your guidance is truly appreciated and needed. Keep ‘em coming!🙏🏻✝️
My UA-cam choice for tonight - Fr. Ripperger vs. Jordan Peterson, Bishop Barron and Fr. Mike Schmitz - I choose Fr. Ripperger! Thank you for saving my soul Father. 🙏🙏🙏
Jordan Peterson should be taken off the list lol. I don’t trust that guy.
@@mirandamarie84 I actually personally met him and Tucker in Calgary a couple of weeks ago. I just feel that he is wrestling with his intellect and submission to God with the help of Tammy he will get there in the end. Also he has been under an enormous amount of stress since 2017. But still would rather listen to Fr. Ripperger (sorry Jordan). Haven’t actually watched the panel discussion yet it is on my list.
Unfortunately Tucker is controlled opp. Owned by the Talmudic bankers
Where can this be located. Thank you
Should watch them all!
My mother and I recently had Covid. When I called our pastor and asked if someone could bring the holy Eucharist to our home I was told that he didn't feel comfortable asking anyone to do so. He then suggested that I notify him when we were cleared by our doctor.
Can't hear the people's questions Father - I do wish you would repeat their questions so we can know what is being asked and answered. Thank you for your teaching.
Found this extremely helpful. Thank you, Father and team. God bless you, Mary love you! Ave Maria.
Thank you Father for your great teachings.
Thank you, Father.
❤✝️Thank you for all this Priesthood is helping us 🙏❤️ Prayer for all faithful Priesthood
What an extraordinary talk. Thank you so much.
Father is right that there will be temptation to distraction during chastisement, as it says in scripture. "I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted" Psalm 88:15
Totally agree that we don’t know the amount of moral corruption that is really present in this world.
Not necessarily, since the Internet allows us to have, at the very least, a glimpse or sense of the level of malfeasence and evil existing in our time. The truth is easily accessible, yet obscured by much distraction, distortion and obsfucation, by much of the present media machine.
I know that things will only get worse from here on, so I've been asking myself a lot lately - what will I do to get absolution from my sins when the persecution to the Church tightens - when Churches close, when priests either leave their vocations or have to go into hiding or captivity. How will we go about confessing our sins and be forgiven? Because by then we will certainly be without the Eucharist, unfortunately.
Search online for a PDF version of "Perfect Contrition: The Golden Key to Paradise." It will suffice if you find yourself without a priest in the lead up to or during the reign of the antichrist.
There is a " Sacramental " called the Pardon cross. Search for it online, and get a Latin Mass Priest to bless it. The cross will come with a Prayer, which you need to say if you're near death. This only works when a Priest is not available. It was recommended by Pope Pius X.
Your sins will then be forgiven. God bless you 🙏
Devotion to The Holy Face. Present The Holy Face to the Father to obtain mercy.
We are already in that time in some places.
Dear fr Ripperger,
I am not a Catholic but a Christian Orthodox. Even so I often offer my sufferings to Our Lady for the sake of pope Francisc to the best of my poor ability. Today I trust she has shown me the pope as a great fire which brings the Light to the entire church and I was left with a strong conviction that his level of Holiness is not something I will ever comprehend. I know she loves him in a different manner then any of us. I need you to know that no "draconian" thing can be born from such a fire of God.
Father please bless my weak soul.
Fr. Ripp is Gold and whatever he said should not be taken with a grain of salt
At the end of every EWTN mass there is a format for spiritual communion.
God knows what’s in your heart
❤People dont really think this is going to happen..
There are none so blind as those who will not see ; none so deaf as those who will not hear! See the SIGNS OF THE TIMES! I personally woukd not want to be an ostrich burying my head in the sand, pretending it is not happening!
We must learn from our Japanese and English brethern as they had to endure terrible persecution and were regularly unable to have any sacraments, rosaries, scripture, or worship. We as Christians are a flower that grows under stress
The Irish, too! Ireland is dotted with Mass rocks, rocks that served as altars for secret Masses.
I was in the ER twice this week, I called for a priest more than once, and had no answer.
May God Bless and Heal you of your ailments.
Thank you, I truly needed to see your comment. Lately I've been impelled to go to the sick/dying. I'm no Priest, but I am a child of GOD & can't stand before the Holy Sacrament with empty hands anymore !!!
Pray for more good and holy priests to fill seminaries
Call your priest before going to ER
Not surprising
Remember the promises of the Rosary and the Brown Scapular. I say, very humbly, develop absolute confidence in Mary! With the Rosary, we're assured that if we pray daily, Our Lady will ensure we get the sacraments before dying or at least obtain the grace of final perseverance. That is one of the 15 promises. And The Brown Scapular's Sabbatine Privilege means Mary will intercede to free us from Purgatory quickly if we've lived up to that devotion's conditions. As I understand it, Her help in the hour of death is guaranteed.
Nothing replaces sacraments! Yet these special devotions are like spiritual lifelines in desperate times. They tap into the Church's teachings on God's mercy, the communion of saints, and Our Lady's roles. Staying faithful to them helps me trust that even without access to a priest, God's grace can still reach us extraordinarily through Mary's hands. And Fr. Ripperger has been invaluable to me. His books are essential. (Check out Dominion if you have not.) Ave Maria! 📿
Do you hear yourself? Mary. JESUS DIED FOR YOU! Not her
@@bradleyjones7391Read in John about the wedding of Cana. Mary was the one who asked Jesus to perform his first miracle. Jesus said,”Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.” Then Mary said to the servers, “Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.” Then he performed his first miracle and started his ministry. The point is, he listens to his mother, and she can intercede for you. Can you go straight to Jesus, obviously yes. But the prayers of the righteous availeth much, and there is no human creature that has existed more righteous than Mary! Who is he going to respect a request from more? You, or the most holy human to ever live?
@@bradleyjones7391 Protestantism is heresy from hell
Also the promises of the five first Saturdays
@@bradleyjones7391it's the graces of Jesus on the cross conferred through Mary. We do not think Mary has any power of Her own, only the power given Her by Her Son. Please at least know what our theology is before criticizing it.
Thank you Fr. Ripperger, this information is fabuliys
Danke!
That is a great question I've been having trouble with lately. Here in Brazil we almost don't have T.M, it's mostly Novus Ordo. And since the priests in the different parishes have become aware I prefer Catholicism prior to Second Vatican Council II it's been tough on me to get to confession. Also they have been pushing forward in ways to dessacrate even the Novus Ordo like putting the Eucharist Minister to lead Mass, and the priest will be absent.
Go to confession regardless of N.O. or TLM. God will hear you.
Find a Melkite Church
Does the extraordinary minister of communion do a mass or a lay service?
I pray for you brother and sister amen our lord Jesus 🙏
Going to now say a decade as per Penanceware requirement for viewing this valuable teaching. Thanks be to God.
Deo Gratius father Chad
All get blessed miraculous medal and scapular
This is an amazing message ....
I can hear the voice of Holy Spirit in the message. I feel the battle happening in my soul already.
Devotion to St. Michael the Prince of Angels...Archangel and of course The Rosary are 2 basics for me❤
Add the Divine Mercy Chaplet to your devotions....
Beautiful
Live in the Divine Will.
I appreciate your presentation here very much, so important and relevant.
Thanks
This is heart breaking, i now we have to be atrong and accept Gods will but im already suffering with the collaps of america i pray God delivers us from such horrendous times but i dont think my prayers matter 😏 Father im so afraid and i can't bear to see my small children suffer 😭💔 God forgive me because im weak 🫤😪
Of course your prayers matter to God. Pray and trust God completely. Pray with your family, especially the rosary every day . God bless you and yours.
Very informative and helpful
SENSUS FIDELIUM !👍💪🙏⛪
As I believe Padre Pio said we could live without the sun better than we could live without their eucharist. And we can't live without the sun so ... what to do?
Our Lady of Revelation is coming true!
