I'm coming back to the Church after six years of practicing Buddhism. I even had my first meeting with a Vocation Director today. You've played a role in restoring my confidence in the Church and teachings. Thank you Father.
Casey, I am a priest myself, aged almost 80. I was particularly impressed by your presentation today; it expressed so decisively the vision of Christ’s Gospel. I keep you in my prayer. Oremus pro invicem.
@The Unapologetic Scientist it doesn't work like that. we have no evidence that it was originally written in aramaic. you don't get to assert it and demand evidence to the contrary. that is a logical fallacy.
@The Unapologetic Scientist there are small snippets and we don't know which way was what translated. we do know jesus would have spoken aramaic. i have not seen any scholarly consensus about the original being in aramaic. we have early fragments in greek as well.
louis cyfer stop arguing with this poor fellow. I stopped reading after his first comment. He is not willing to accept Christ as his savior, he does not want forgiveness.
@The Unapologetic Scientist You say you live as a Christian. But everyone needs forgiveness. We are all human. To be honest, I would not want to bump into you in life, as a Christian, because your manner seems unkind and I would be intimidated by your attitude, not by your knowledge. I do not question your evidence, opinions etc. because I am not as well educated as you. But I know gentleness and kindness when I meet it.
I'm a Catholic revert. Covid-19 made me realize that I really missed the Church. When I started watching videos from you Fr. Casey and others I started hearing the call to come home. I went to confession at the end of last year for the first time in at least 10 years, and I haven't missed a Sunday mass since. I'm so thankful for what you do, Father Casey.
Covid-19 affected me differently. It showed me that while God claims to be good and caring about all of mankind, he didn't care enough to stop this terrible plague from occurring and doing anything to help those suffering. Sure Covid-19 might make some people get close to God, but I just can't accept a God who can't design any other way to make people close to him besides the death of over a million people and shutting down the world for over a year. I'm sorry, but it just makes it clear to me that all-good God would have nothing to do with Covid-19, likely because this God doesn't exist or doesn't care about humanity.
@@tomandrews1429 1-Death in this mortal life is not the most important thing that God is working on or humanity’s happiness consist 2- God did not cause it God maybe allowing it for a reason .. for the hardness of our hearts ... or maybe there is no other way for some of us to see the consequences of our sins .. we don’t know exactly why But if you want to know ask God, tell God you’re angry & ask for an answer You’re here seeing videos, checking & answering comments... why not talk to God directly & let God know how you feel - God is big enough & can take it My best to you
@@TheSaraManal I have asked God and I did not receive a response. 1- Clearly your right, our lives mean very little to God. 2-God didn't cause viruses? How were viruses created if not from God?
I’m a new Catholic and was initially really worried about receiving the sacraments. Is my faith enough? Am I worthy? Little did I realize, the sacraments help grow your faith. My faith grew so much within a small time frame. And as for the “am I worthy?” question....the answer is no, but I think that’s the point. God bless everyone 🙏
@@jamesparson The Church Jesus founded will always have it's Judas. Judas was 1 of 12 or 8%. The number of worldwide clergy that failed is that or less. The devil was given extra power to take souls in the Church in the 20th century era. He has done well. Jesus gave him the power to also separate the wheat from the shaf. Too many have failed the test. Not only clergy who are going to hell without confession and change and penance; but all the lay people who have fallen away from Jesus Body Blood Soul and Divinity, Jesus' gift of Love to us. A gift beyond price. To leave Jesus because a priest in your or another parish succumbed to Satan is a special kind of self immolation. Yes the priest will suffer more for helping drag you to hell, but you are finally responsible for your soul. There will always be a remnant of Jesus' Church, no matter how corrupt the world and some church clergy destroy the natural and Bride of Christ's law. Pray for the conversion of sinners and of Russia.
Hi Sky! Do you ever wonder why so many of us take an interest in those considering the Catholic faith and newly converted Catholics? Is it because we love to see you become fully integrated into Jesus' Church and grow closer to him? That's certainly the essential part of it and the core of the great commission! But honestly, it sure helps a lot that you help us look at the faith through fresh eyes and see with wonder anew the beauty of all the grace that God chooses to offer us. Great running into you again as always!
I was extremely active in my church, and missed only a handful of Sunday masses my entire life.A few years ago, I totally lost my faith, not in God so much but fully in people. This past few months I have really felt the loss . You just helped me, more than I can say. THANK YOU
I am a Muslim but i love the Christian way of thinking and Christianity in general and the pacifist way that Christianity is carrying love to all Christians 💜
@billy kimber Billy, I can't believe what I'm reading, you are seriously off the planet and , the way I see it, an apologist to the most abhorrent of crimes. You'd be at home in Germany 1940 with that attitude! Shame
This is phenomenal. As a Catholic living in a particularly privileged part of the world, I *greatly* appreciate your care to not make those in less privileged areas feel bad for not being reasonably able to engage in our Church. I'm waiting on my second dose, but I think it's time I come back.
Even the first dose will protect you from suffering hospitalisation or death if you do catch it. The second dose will just further diminish your chance of getting it at all. And you will be less likely to pass it on too. Go back if you can with a clear conscience but still be as reasonably careful as you can.
Yes, I Never experience the sacraments ...this last year initiated this path of Catholicism. May God answer my prayer of the BEST ‘way’ (for me) to worship ABBA Father🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is a video that we all need to hear right now, Fr. For myself, I admit I keep having pitfalls and need renew myself all the time in Him. Thank you for sharing. Let us all return daily to Christ.
I like your openness, my friend! Being open-hearted is very important: mystery is part of our integral existential experience, I can guarantee you from my own. From a Brazilian Catholic friend!
The simple factt that you feel drawn to these videos should indicate that even though you do not believe in 'Jesus, Jesus believes in YOU. Open your heart and listen to the soft voice of Jesus. He is most definitely talking to you. I will pray for and with you. If God could show mercy for me, he will show mercy to anyone.

Thank you, Father, for your inspiring words. I am returning to the Church after a long absence measured in decades. A large part of the reason I am returning is that through your videos God has reached out to me. I am so happy. Thank you, Father you truly are a man of God. Bless you and I shall pray for you.

Thank you Father! If you wouldn’t mind, please pray for my friends that I lost this year, one friend passing from covid complications at only 32. I miss him very much. I miss them both. I would greatly appreciate it.
Fr. Casey your videos have been very helpful to me. Thank you! I've been considering converting to the Catholic church, and since everything has been shut down from Covid I couldn't even find anyone to work out my questions with, until I found you, Fr. Patrick, and Fr. Mike Schmitz. I am still on the road of contemplation and have much angst about what this decision would mean for my wife and 5 kids and how my previous concepts of faith are being challenged. Please pray for me and thank you for reaching out to me when I didn't know where to turn.
Me too! My husband is Catholic. But not a practicing one. I got saved two years ago. But a non denominational. But I start RCIA classes next tuesday. I keep praying for my marriage. The world say I have every right to leave even my church. But I have faith that the Lord is calling me to the Catholic Church and also my husband. We are going to get our marriage blessed at the church. I pray that this will help our marriage and that God will finally be in our marriage and help us.
You are a great man. I enjoy all your videos. Just letting you know, Father, I live in Australia and you are the best speaker who really speaks to each and every one of us. There is always something that I get out of your talks. Keep up the good work and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless
From the Philippines, your videos are a breath of fresh air, an oasis in the midst of confusion, a new ray of hope for those who are in constant search for answers. May God bless you more with good health and a robust spirituality so that you can help more souls the world over improve their relationship with God and grow in their Catholic faith.

I saw this come up in my feed when it was uploaded and didn't watch it because I know a Catholic was never going to get an informed protestant like myself. I was confirmed this past Sunday through the personal ordinariate of the chair of St Peter.
I came back to the church after 20 years and I have been attending Mass several times per week. I am so grateful for the Lord's forgiveness. Unfortunately, as of today, my province, Alberta, has restricted the number of parishioners in the church at one time to 15. This makes no sense to me because churches are not all the same size. I arrived for mass this morning, early, only to find the capacity of 15 had already been reached. So sad. Let us continue to pray for relief from the pandemic and especially for our brothers and sisters in India.
I’m a cradle Catholic and had a deeper conversion recently and it has given me real life. It’s about getting back to church...and then getting further into the faith. Praying, contemplating the mysteries... The Church is the fullness of Truth. Seek it.
Yes, i miss going to church especially inside the tabernacle where i always used to talk to Jesus through the Blessed Sacrament....Thank you, Fr. Casey, because of you, i became more and more proud being a Catholic....🙏🙏🙏
I've been together with my girlfriend for almost a year now, I am a roman catholic and she is a protestant. She is the most understanding, loving person I've ever met and she is pretty strong in her faith which really help me -who's been struggling with my faith and found it hard to believe that all this stuff exists- start finding my way again. She really used to (and still does) question the catholic teachings and as I explain everything to her with the help of your videos, I have such a warm feeling in my heart, I actually feel like I'm preaching the gospel and the true, full revelation of Christ. Thank you so much for this experience and I'll definitely keep following your videos so that I can finally find my way home :)
Thank you Fr. Casey for being a Good Shepherd, today marks the one year anniversary for me that I was allowed back in the Church to participate in Mass, I had a better understanding that by "Sacraments" it is not just the Eucharist. Although I wasn't going to Mass, a few parishes were offering the sacrament of reconciliation in the gardens around their campus, I was fortunate enough to be able to receive grace that way. I pray that we can all be courageous to get back home! Peace and good to you
I saw you uploaded this three years ago and I am just watching this now. I'm very inspired by you and your videos and what Jesus Christ does through you is special.
What amazing timing the Lord has. I've been avoiding watching faith-related videos for a while now. But I'm subbed to your channel and a notification popped "when is it time to go back?". I clicked, and now I pray I wont keep my distance from the Lord again. Thanks for this video! And please pray for me.

I have been called back to the traditions of my ancestors since I've had had my daughters. I felt profound joy in praying the rosary and recieving the eucharist. I can only hope God can welcome me back after all my heresies.
I always love listening to this young Priest, God bless you, without Christ in the Holy Eucharist in our daily lives we are nothing, Jesus Christ are the love of my life, AMEN 🙏

I walked into a catholic church for the first time on the 2nd of May. The Deacon welcomed me and sat me next to his own wife and family. It was wonderful. I really want to go back. I am immunosuppressed due to a chronic illness. But I am yearning to find out more.

Do you have a local Catholic parish? Call their office and ask to meet one on one with a priest. Attend Mass and receive the Sacraments. Be vigilant in your spiritual growth. Seek and you will find. God bless!
This was the exact story that you shared from your homily last Sunday. If I am not mistaken, you also shared this story from one of your Upon Friar Review video (can’t remember which one). This reflection has been very helpful to me. I’ve read this passage (John 15:1-8) thrice since last week. It was also the passage I’ve meditated on twice through Lectio Divina in Hallow app. Truly, we must remain in Jesus. Whenever we sin, we must come back to him again and again. Only Him can truly transform us. I pray that this transformation will free us from the sins that we fail to detach ourselves from. May we also grow to become more like our Lord Jesus Christ, so that through us, others may know and grow closer to God. Thank you Fr. Casey for this wonderful reflection. Peace! 😊🙏🏻
There's so much truth here! I really appreciate the importance you place on drawing closer to God in order to deal with our sins. It can be so easy to run away from God when we're struggling with sin.

Your words hit my heart so hard!! You nail exactly how I felt ... I came back to church ⛪️ on October when they opened their doors in my city and I cried, my eyes out of sentiment when I had holly comunión after 6 months. I decided to go at least once a months. That way I wouldn’t expose my self to COVID so frequently but I wouldn’t go so long with out going to mass!!!
What a great connection to make to last Sunday's gospel! I appreciate your respectful approach to this question. We went to Mass from Sept to Nov. then the fall spike started and it was no Mass for us again. Now that I'm fully vaccinated and our parish is still maintaining their good protocols (social distancing, all parishioners wear masks) so I've been back at Mass. We still have a dispensation. Mass on the computer did very little for me spiritually.

I think Jesus is really working a mysterious way and amazing. I left Lord and lost myself in Buddhism for 3 years but until one day I found out that Jesus is always waiting on me. When I knocked the door really opened for me. And also my appreciation to Mother Mary. I heard her calls to me. Only I have practiced then I understand Buddhism is not for me only Jesus is the way and the salvation.
And I really think that was God’s action. He really let me to hurt him by leaving him for what I thought was right. But he is always waiting on the end of the road.

God's power is made perfect in weakness. You are loved beyond measure. God cannot stop thinking about you. He is concerned about every heart beat of yours, you belong to Him, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart your ABBA has overcome the world, you have nothing to fear. Cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you, He who made Heaven and Earth. Do not worry about anything, but take it to Him in prayer and supplication, and the peace of GOD THAT SURPASSES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS YOURS THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD. Just trust Him, He loved you first. And remember, you will never fall so far, that his mercy can't reach you, for He is abounding in mercy and slow to Anger. To the person reading this, no matter what storm you are going through today, just Be still, and know that HE IS GOD. God bless!♥️
I became catholic in 2019 & really enjoyed going to mass on Sundays. When covid hit, I stayed home & only went back once in the Fall of 2020. I was so scared that I would get sick or give it to someone that I just stayed away from everyone, including mass & the sacraments. And to answer your question, yes it's time I come back to the church. I can't hide at home for the rest of my life afraid of every bad thing I come across. I have Jesus on my side & like He says "do not be afraid for I am with you" & every time I pray about going back I always hear those words.
Very well said Fr. When I was assigned in the Parish I used to confess every once a week. Now my heart cries out of going back to my past practice but because of the pandemic this made impossible. Thank you Father for your fatherly reminder.

Fr. Casey raises an interesting and very relevant issue about our physical presence at the Eucharist. The early church asked the same question about baptism. If a convert, a sincere believer who is being prepared for baptism, is martyred by the government before he is baptised, then what is his spiritual status? The mainstream answer is that there is a spiritual baptism. Early church fathers use words such as "baptised in his own blood" to describe such martyrs. In my opinion, there is a similar spiritual communion for those who can only attend Eucharistic services via computer. Whether or not one can is (of course!) known to God. And Fr. Casey is absolutely right to talk about legitimate reasons why one can not. God knows all of those reasons.
I can’t wait to get back to mass and celebrate the Eucharist with the parish community I love. The priest in my hometown is an absolute gift! The children are schools chant his name, he goes above and beyond all the time, I wish I could say his name publicly. He deserves the accolades hundred percent, but does gods work quietly. Love from 🇨🇦 Canada
The people in Canada need to protest the unlawful and unjust lockdowns and mandates for a fake virus. Their was no need to close the Churches or businesses.
This is one of the most reassuring videos you have done. If it had not been for the streaming Mass of our parish, I do believe I would have felt "lost" (even if we did do the spiritual communion each Sunday). But when we were able to start going to Mass (although under limited conditions) on Palm Sunday, it felt like I'd made it back home. The best moment was to once more take that consecrated host in my hand--and thank Jesus for being able to bring him (literally and actually) into my life again. It was very much like being with family again--and feeling our joy in once again being together.

I haven't been active in the Church for almost 3 years, and I admit to missing the Sacraments very much. I just abhor the thought of attending Mass in any of the parishes in my area that have been as unwelcoming and cliquish communities as I've ever encountered. I also pray for the day when the Church no longer protects clergy who abused their positions, authority, and privileges to take advantage of vulnerable people who sought them out for spiritual guidance and facilitates their participation in the civil justice system so they can face the social consequences of their actions. I know that I'll never convince my wife and kids to return to the Church due to their treatment by so-called Brothers and Sisters in Christ, but I continue to hold onto hope that the RCC bureaucracy will mend its ways and once again become in my life the beacon of hope, love, and goodness that you describe.
I looked up this video to come up with a good letter for my grandmother to take her grief that's isolating her back to the altar and come back to church before it's too late. I might even stick in because of the very good questions you pose at the end even though she's Protestant (actually some of my Catholic practices have rubbed off on her, lol). Pray that she sees the light and returns and pray that I deliver the message well. Story time: When I find myself avoiding the Sacrament, I go to this specific priest who is like a jolly grandfather. I like to think both Jesus and St. Joseph (relevant to my habitual sin that leads to my avoidance and technically he's our jolly grandfather, LOL) are there, one forgiving and one supporting.

I'm coming back to the Church after six years of practicing Buddhism. I even had my first meeting with a Vocation Director today. You've played a role in restoring my confidence in the Church and teachings. Thank you Father.
Welcome home! The Church is more loving than men that sit beneath trees all day.
Welcome home
Welcome home :)
Welcome back home
Welcome back! From one revert to another *hugs*
Casey, I am a priest myself, aged almost 80. I was particularly impressed by your presentation today; it expressed so decisively the vision of Christ’s Gospel. I keep you in my prayer. Oremus pro invicem.
@The Unapologetic Scientist it doesn't work like that. we have no evidence that it was originally written in aramaic. you don't get to assert it and demand evidence to the contrary. that is a logical fallacy.
@The Unapologetic Scientist there are small snippets and we don't know which way was what translated. we do know jesus would have spoken aramaic. i have not seen any scholarly consensus about the original being in aramaic. we have early fragments in greek as well.
louis cyfer stop arguing with this poor fellow. I stopped reading after his first comment. He is not willing to accept Christ as his savior, he does not want forgiveness.
@@Clarkcanepa why should anyone?
@The Unapologetic Scientist You say you live as a Christian.
But everyone needs forgiveness. We are all human.
To be honest, I would not want to bump into you in life, as a Christian, because your manner seems unkind and I would be intimidated by your attitude, not by your knowledge. I do not question your evidence, opinions etc. because I am not as well educated as you.
But I know gentleness and kindness when I meet it.
I'm a Catholic revert. Covid-19 made me realize that I really missed the Church. When I started watching videos from you Fr. Casey and others I started hearing the call to come home. I went to confession at the end of last year for the first time in at least 10 years, and I haven't missed a Sunday mass since. I'm so thankful for what you do, Father Casey.
Aww you missed your weekly feel huh
Covid-19 affected me differently. It showed me that while God claims to be good and caring about all of mankind, he didn't care enough to stop this terrible plague from occurring and doing anything to help those suffering. Sure Covid-19 might make some people get close to God, but I just can't accept a God who can't design any other way to make people close to him besides the death of over a million people and shutting down the world for over a year. I'm sorry, but it just makes it clear to me that all-good God would have nothing to do with Covid-19, likely because this God doesn't exist or doesn't care about humanity.
@@tomandrews1429 God never did anything THAT is the truth
@@tomandrews1429
1-Death in this mortal life is not the most important thing that God is working on or humanity’s happiness consist
2- God did not cause it God maybe allowing it for a reason .. for the hardness of our hearts ... or maybe there is no other way for some of us to see the consequences of our sins .. we don’t know exactly why
But if you want to know ask God, tell God you’re angry & ask for an answer
You’re here seeing videos, checking & answering comments... why not talk to God directly & let God know how you feel - God is big enough & can take it
My best to you
@@TheSaraManal I have asked God and I did not receive a response.
1- Clearly your right, our lives mean very little to God.
2-God didn't cause viruses? How were viruses created if not from God?
I’m a new Catholic and was initially really worried about receiving the sacraments. Is my faith enough? Am I worthy? Little did I realize, the sacraments help grow your faith. My faith grew so much within a small time frame. And as for the “am I worthy?” question....the answer is no, but I think that’s the point.
God bless everyone 🙏
Beautifully said, and WELCOME HOME!
No you are Gods play toy forced to pray to a mass murdering hypocrite
@@jamesparson The Church Jesus founded will always have it's Judas. Judas was 1 of 12 or 8%.
The number of worldwide clergy that failed is that or less. The devil was given extra power to take souls in the Church in the 20th century era.
He has done well. Jesus gave him the power to also separate the wheat from the shaf. Too many have failed the test. Not only clergy who are going to hell without confession and change and penance; but all the lay people who have fallen away from Jesus Body Blood Soul and Divinity, Jesus' gift of Love to us. A gift beyond price. To leave Jesus because a priest in your or another parish succumbed to Satan is a special kind of self immolation. Yes the priest will suffer more for helping drag you to hell, but you are finally responsible for your soul. There will always be a remnant of Jesus' Church, no matter how corrupt the world and some church clergy destroy the natural and Bride of Christ's law.
Pray for the conversion of sinners and of Russia.
Hi Sky! Do you ever wonder why so many of us take an interest in those considering the Catholic faith and newly converted Catholics? Is it because we love to see you become fully integrated into Jesus' Church and grow closer to him? That's certainly the essential part of it and the core of the great commission! But honestly, it sure helps a lot that you help us look at the faith through fresh eyes and see with wonder anew the beauty of all the grace that God chooses to offer us. Great running into you again as always!
@@John_Fisher I would say you love the corruption and lies more
I was extremely active in my church, and missed only a handful of Sunday masses my entire life.A few years ago, I totally lost my faith, not in God so much but fully in people. This past few months I have really felt the loss . You just helped me, more than I can say. THANK YOU
Faith in people? Christ wouldn't have to come to rescue us if we could have even the very slightest, the most miniscule faith in people
I am a Muslim but i love the Christian way of thinking and Christianity in general and the pacifist way that Christianity is carrying love to all Christians 💜
Glad you're here and watching these videos - Fr. Mike Schmitz is also a great priest to listen to on youtube :D
I’m open to all sorts of religion. Is there a channel that is open about Muslims?
@@comicozy8786 the yaqeen institute is a good channel

@billy kimber Billy, I can't believe what I'm reading, you are seriously off the planet and , the way I see it, an apologist to the most abhorrent of crimes. You'd be at home in Germany 1940 with that attitude! Shame
This is phenomenal. As a Catholic living in a particularly privileged part of the world, I *greatly* appreciate your care to not make those in less privileged areas feel bad for not being reasonably able to engage in our Church. I'm waiting on my second dose, but I think it's time I come back.
Even the first dose will protect you from suffering hospitalisation or death if you do catch it. The second dose will just further diminish your chance of getting it at all. And you will be less likely to pass it on too. Go back if you can with a clear conscience but still be as reasonably careful as you can.
No one should be taking the vaccine. The whole pandemic is a scam.
Yes, I Never experience the sacraments ...this last year initiated this path of Catholicism. May God answer my prayer of the BEST ‘way’ (for me) to worship ABBA Father🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is a video that we all need to hear right now, Fr. For myself, I admit I keep having pitfalls and need renew myself all the time in Him.
Thank you for sharing.
Let us all return daily to Christ.
Though I am atheist.. I have great love for Jesus . I like him very much.
that's okay i guess
search your heart, friend.
come home.
What a blessing from Jesus Himself! That's His invitation to you, He's calling you to do great things! Love and peace to you! 🕊
He love you too even before your where Born 🤗🤗🤗🤗
He love all of us😌😌
Why do you have a love for Jesus even though you are atheist?
I'm not christian in the slightest but damn you're nice to listen to.
I like your openness, my friend! Being open-hearted is very important: mystery is part of our integral existential experience, I can guarantee you from my own. From a Brazilian Catholic friend!
continue watching this wonderfull words
There are good people everywhere
@@voidremoved I really do not have an opinion on it...
The simple factt that you feel drawn to these videos should indicate that even though you do not believe in 'Jesus, Jesus believes in YOU. Open your heart and listen to the soft voice of Jesus. He is most definitely talking to you. I will pray for and with you. If God could show mercy for me, he will show mercy to anyone.
Thank you, father, for your words. You are a gift from Heaven. The work you are doing is very important. God bless you.

This was today's homily at mass. Thanks Fr Casey for reinforcing this message it is so important to get people back to church.
Hopefully without wearing the masks. It's demonic to wear masks. It's like worshiping the virus.
Thank you Father! If you wouldn’t mind, please pray for my friends that I lost this year, one friend passing from covid complications at only 32. I miss him very much. I miss them both. I would greatly appreciate it.
Fr. Casey your videos have been very helpful to me. Thank you! I've been considering converting to the Catholic church, and since everything has been shut down from Covid I couldn't even find anyone to work out my questions with, until I found you, Fr. Patrick, and Fr. Mike Schmitz. I am still on the road of contemplation and have much angst about what this decision would mean for my wife and 5 kids and how my previous concepts of faith are being challenged. Please pray for me and thank you for reaching out to me when I didn't know where to turn.
If the Catholic Church means a lot to you, I'm sure your family will be inspired by your faith and follow your lead.
Search for the videos of Mother Angelica, she teaches a lot, and she has answered almost all my questions. :)
Me too! My husband is Catholic. But not a practicing one. I got saved two years ago. But a non denominational. But I start RCIA classes next tuesday. I keep praying for my marriage. The world say I have every right to leave even my church. But I have faith that the Lord is calling me to the Catholic Church and also my husband. We are going to get our marriage blessed at the church. I pray that this will help our marriage and that God will finally be in our marriage and help us.
You are a great man. I enjoy all your videos. Just letting you know, Father, I live in Australia and you are the best speaker who really speaks to each and every one of us. There is always something that I get out of your talks. Keep up the good work and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless
From the Philippines, your videos are a breath of fresh air, an oasis in the midst of confusion, a new ray of hope for those who are in constant search for answers. May God bless you more with good health and a robust spirituality so that you can help more souls the world over improve their relationship with God and grow in their Catholic faith.

I am so pleased that I have a priest who was able to commit to keep our doors open... thank you Father 🙏🏻
Dear Father Casey, thank you so much for this great video. God bless you! Greetings from Italy
I came back to the Church this last Advent after 23 years of absence.
Reminds me of St. Mark Ji, he did not let his failures steer him away from the blessed sacrament of confession.
I'm praying for the day when I'm allowed to return to Mass and the life of the Church.
I saw this come up in my feed when it was uploaded and didn't watch it because I know a Catholic was never going to get an informed protestant like myself.
I was confirmed this past Sunday through the personal ordinariate of the chair of St Peter.
Wonderful video, thanks a lot to you Fr Casey and everyone else who is envolved making them possible
I did , back in January . You were a part of that . I love your series of videos on Understanding The Mass btw .
I came back to the church after 20 years and I have been attending Mass several times per week. I am so grateful for the Lord's forgiveness. Unfortunately, as of today, my province, Alberta, has restricted the number of parishioners in the church at one time to 15. This makes no sense to me because churches are not all the same size. I arrived for mass this morning, early, only to find the capacity of 15 had already been reached. So sad. Let us continue to pray for relief from the pandemic and especially for our brothers and sisters in India.
I’m a cradle Catholic and had a deeper conversion recently and it has given me real life.
It’s about getting back to church...and then getting further into the faith. Praying, contemplating the mysteries...
The Church is the fullness of Truth. Seek it.
Yes, i miss going to church especially inside the tabernacle where i always used to talk to Jesus through the Blessed Sacrament....Thank you, Fr. Casey, because of you, i became more and more proud being a Catholic....🙏🙏🙏
I've been together with my girlfriend for almost a year now, I am a roman catholic and she is a protestant. She is the most understanding, loving person I've ever met and she is pretty strong in her faith which really help me -who's been struggling with my faith and found it hard to believe that all this stuff exists- start finding my way again. She really used to (and still does) question the catholic teachings and as I explain everything to her with the help of your videos, I have such a warm feeling in my heart, I actually feel like I'm preaching the gospel and the true, full revelation of Christ. Thank you so much for this experience and I'll definitely keep following your videos so that I can finally find my way home :)
Thank you Fr. Casey for being a Good Shepherd, today marks the one year anniversary for me that I was allowed back in the Church to participate in Mass, I had a better understanding that by "Sacraments" it is not just the Eucharist. Although I wasn't going to Mass, a few parishes were offering the sacrament of reconciliation in the gardens around their campus, I was fortunate enough to be able to receive grace that way. I pray that we can all be courageous to get back home! Peace and good to you
I saw you uploaded this three years ago and I am just watching this now. I'm very inspired by you and your videos and what Jesus Christ does through you is special.
What amazing timing the Lord has. I've been avoiding watching faith-related videos for a while now. But I'm subbed to your channel and a notification popped "when is it time to go back?". I clicked, and now I pray I wont keep my distance from the Lord again. Thanks for this video! And please pray for me.
Will be praying for you my brethren.
@@silentknight2329 thank you 🥺. I'm praying for you too!
Went to my first Mass in over four years last Sunday. Still unsure, but this video was definitely encouraging and will take my time. God bless.
Stay strong in honoring God!🙏❤
Thank you for this message.

Same here. God bless you
I have been called back to the traditions of my ancestors since I've had had my daughters. I felt profound joy in praying the rosary and recieving the eucharist. I can only hope God can welcome me back after all my heresies.
I always love listening to this young Priest, God bless you, without Christ in the Holy Eucharist in our daily lives we are nothing, Jesus Christ are the love of my life, AMEN 🙏

Yes I agree we will be verry verry happy
Not even one minute in and I RELATE SO HARD 😭😭😭
Man, I wish I had a spiritual father to help me.
Do you have a local Catholic parish? Call their office and ask to meet one on one with a priest. Attend Mass and receive the Sacraments. Be vigilant in your spiritual growth. Seek and you will find. God bless!
This was the exact story that you shared from your homily last Sunday. If I am not mistaken, you also shared this story from one of your Upon Friar Review video (can’t remember which one).
This reflection has been very helpful to me. I’ve read this passage (John 15:1-8) thrice since last week. It was also the passage I’ve meditated on twice through Lectio Divina in Hallow app. Truly, we must remain in Jesus. Whenever we sin, we must come back to him again and again. Only Him can truly transform us. I pray that this transformation will free us from the sins that we fail to detach ourselves from. May we also grow to become more like our Lord Jesus Christ, so that through us, others may know and grow closer to God.
Thank you Fr. Casey for this wonderful reflection. Peace! 😊🙏🏻
Yes Father,
you're right
It is Time to come back !
We never know, when the day of our lord is here...
All time- be ready, be ALERT👍
The Churches should never closed been lockdown in the first place.
This was awesome!, thank you!
There's so much truth here! I really appreciate the importance you place on drawing closer to God in order to deal with our sins. It can be so easy to run away from God when we're struggling with sin.
Thank you, Fr. Casey! You pulled a string in my heart. I felt God speaking to me through you. Daghang salamat! God bless you!

Baton Rouge Diocese dispensations for missing Mass end on June 6. Father you really got to the point with this. Thank you!
Hopefully they will tell people not to wear the masks. And tell the people who missed Mass to confess this sin.
I think it’s NEVER time to leave. No matter the circumstances.
thank you father . I ask for a prayer to get past my brokenness.
Your words hit my heart so hard!! You nail exactly how I felt ... I came back to church ⛪️ on October when they opened their doors in my city and I cried, my eyes out of sentiment when I had holly comunión after 6 months. I decided to go at least once a months. That way I wouldn’t expose my self to COVID so frequently but I wouldn’t go so long with out going to mass!!!
A beautiful reminder of God’s love
Thanks for acknowledging how difficult it is to maintain a prayerful life without the support of the Church.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION .I'M IN RELIGIOUS LIKE MYSELF . I FOUND SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT IN WHAT YOU SAID . VERY HELPFUL MUCH APPRECIATED .BR SEAMUS .
Our Pastor at Saint Lukes in Ho HO Kus NJ showed this at mass this morning thank you
What a great connection to make to last Sunday's gospel! I appreciate your respectful approach to this question. We went to Mass from Sept to Nov. then the fall spike started and it was no Mass for us again. Now that I'm fully vaccinated and our parish is still maintaining their good protocols (social distancing, all parishioners wear masks) so I've been back at Mass. We still have a dispensation. Mass on the computer did very little for me spiritually.

I think Jesus is really working a mysterious way and amazing. I left Lord and lost myself in Buddhism for 3 years but until one day I found out that Jesus is always waiting on me. When I knocked the door really opened for me. And also my appreciation to Mother Mary. I heard her calls to me. Only I have practiced then I understand Buddhism is not for me only Jesus is the way and the salvation.
And I really think that was God’s action. He really let me to hurt him by leaving him for what I thought was right. But he is always waiting on the end of the road.
If your church offers it, go to confession during or after the mass. All the sacraments are important. Please make use of them.
It should be before Mass only.
"Lord, whom shall we go to"
I'm going nowhere. I'm getting rid of lies and false assumptions, and I'm much happier and less confused by so doing.

God's power is made perfect in weakness. You are loved beyond measure. God cannot stop thinking about you. He is concerned about every heart beat of yours, you belong to Him, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Do not worry about anything, but take it to Him in prayer and supplication, and the peace of GOD THAT SURPASSES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS YOURS THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD. Just trust Him, He loved you first. And remember, you will never fall so far, that his mercy can't reach you, for He is abounding in mercy and slow to Anger.
To the person reading this, no matter what storm you are going through today, just Be still, and know that HE IS GOD.
God bless!♥️
This video is just perfect timing for me. I'll try my best to repent, I was lost but now I'm found.❤❤
I became catholic in 2019 & really enjoyed going to mass on Sundays. When covid hit, I stayed home & only went back once in the Fall of 2020. I was so scared that I would get sick or give it to someone that I just stayed away from everyone, including mass & the sacraments. And to answer your question, yes it's time I come back to the church. I can't hide at home for the rest of my life afraid of every bad thing I come across. I have Jesus on my side & like He says "do not be afraid for I am with you" & every time I pray about going back I always hear those words.
The pandemic is a scam. Their was no pandemic. The media over hyped the regular flu.
I appreciate the evenly measured statement on this.
Thank you Father. Timely and topical. Made for sharing 🙏🏾
Very well said Fr. When I was assigned in the Parish I used to confess every once a week. Now my heart cries out of going back to my past practice but because of the pandemic this made impossible. Thank you Father for your fatherly reminder.
The pandemic is a scam. The virus is over hyped by the Media and the Church.
I enjoy your teachings Father. Have you considered posting your weekly Homilies?
Wow, Father, you really punched me in the face at minute 8. I needed that, thank you.

@@shilatozier4254 thank you I pray everyday
This is exactly what I have been experiencing this past few weeks. I went back to confession yesterday.
Thankyou Father. God bless us all to be attached to the vine.

Fr. Casey raises an interesting and very relevant issue about our physical presence at the Eucharist. The early church asked the same question about baptism. If a convert, a sincere believer who is being prepared for baptism, is martyred by the government before he is baptised, then what is his spiritual status?
The mainstream answer is that there is a spiritual baptism. Early church fathers use words such as "baptised in his own blood" to describe such martyrs. In my opinion, there is a similar spiritual communion for those who can only attend Eucharistic services via computer.
Whether or not one can is (of course!) known to God. And Fr. Casey is absolutely right to talk about legitimate reasons why one can not. God knows all of those reasons.
Bless you Fr Casey
I love going to masses but my social awkwardness makes it harder than it should be...
Go with your heart set on worshipping God, focus on Him
It is really not such a social activity for me, but time to focus on God🙏
Normal. Jesus came for all strange, awkward, sort of funny, lonely etc. people, even for me - and of course for you.
you are going for god, not to be judged by men.
That's awesome. It means going is a greater sacrifice for you than it would be if you were a gregarious person.
Awesome Fr Casey, thank you
I can’t wait to get back to mass and celebrate the Eucharist with the parish community I love.
The priest in my hometown is an absolute gift! The children are schools chant his name, he goes above and beyond all the time, I wish I could say his name publicly. He deserves the accolades hundred percent, but does gods work quietly. Love from 🇨🇦 Canada
The people in Canada need to protest the unlawful and unjust lockdowns and mandates for a fake virus. Their was no need to close the Churches or businesses.
I am going to the "Church of the Amalekites".
This is one of the most reassuring videos you have done. If it had not been for the streaming Mass of our parish, I do believe I would have felt "lost" (even if we did do the spiritual communion each Sunday). But when we were able to start going to Mass (although under limited conditions) on Palm Sunday, it felt like I'd made it back home. The best moment was to once more take that consecrated host in my hand--and thank Jesus for being able to bring him (literally and actually) into my life again. It was very much like being with family again--and feeling our joy in once again being together.

Remember what St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans, it is through faith that we earn salvation. We are praying for you Father 🙏🏼
This is great thank you Father Casey

I haven't been active in the Church for almost 3 years, and I admit to missing the Sacraments very much. I just abhor the thought of attending Mass in any of the parishes in my area that have been as unwelcoming and cliquish communities as I've ever encountered. I also pray for the day when the Church no longer protects clergy who abused their positions, authority, and privileges to take advantage of vulnerable people who sought them out for spiritual guidance and facilitates their participation in the civil justice system so they can face the social consequences of their actions. I know that I'll never convince my wife and kids to return to the Church due to their treatment by so-called Brothers and Sisters in Christ, but I continue to hold onto hope that the RCC bureaucracy will mend its ways and once again become in my life the beacon of hope, love, and goodness that you describe.
I looked up this video to come up with a good letter for my grandmother to take her grief that's isolating her back to the altar and come back to church before it's too late. I might even stick in because of the very good questions you pose at the end even though she's Protestant (actually some of my Catholic practices have rubbed off on her, lol). Pray that she sees the light and returns and pray that I deliver the message well.
Story time: When I find myself avoiding the Sacrament, I go to this specific priest who is like a jolly grandfather. I like to think both Jesus and St. Joseph (relevant to my habitual sin that leads to my avoidance and technically he's our jolly grandfather, LOL) are there, one forgiving and one supporting.
Father Casey... missing the Sacraments so much... I am in India.. everything is closed and the situation is absolutely heartbreaking .
