- Опубліковано 6 лют 2020
- This month's Evening with the Merciful Jesus was recorded at the Shrine. Please tune in at 7:00 p.m. on our Facebook page ( / li.. ) or UA-cam Channel ( • "Trust" - Fr. Gabriel ... ).
Sr. Gaudia Skass, OLM speaks about the spiritual warfare in which all Christians are engaged, whether they know it or not. If our life’s goal is heaven and we want to help others to get there, then there will be a lot of fighting on the way. St. Faustina described many of her battles in her diary. She left us an amazing source of inspiration about how to win. In this talk Sr. Gaudia discusses this crucial topic of spiritual warfare for our lives in reference to the life of Jesus himself as well as Saint Faustina’s life and her writings.
Sr. Gaudia focuses in part one of her talk on the “first war zone”, so to say: fighting for others, for the salvation of souls. In the second part of her talk she emphases the “second war zone”: the battles within our own soul, the direct process of purification and sanctification. She shares the strategies on how to win all kinds of battles. Here is the link to that talk: • “Faustina, the Warrior...
What a Beautiful woman, beautiful daughter of God Almighty, beautiful bride of Christ. The love, passion, and reverence in her voice breaks through my soul with the compassion of Sr. Faustina, and ultimately, the compassion of Christ. May the Almighty continue to fill her with the Holy Spirit and continue using her as a tool to save many souls. I will pray for you Sister. Humbly, I ask that you pray for me as well, as a man, as a husband, as a father.
This sister is filled with the Holy spirit. Her speech
is fantastic. It just flows
from her mouth and heart.
We are all watching a Sister, who I am sure will be declared a saint someday. You are a beautiful soul.
She will be a saint. Look at her smile.
Ask God for discernement.
Amen
You’re right. One feels the joy of Holy Spirit emanating from her. Her smile is very infectious.
Yes Amen
Very angelic ❤️
I don't only want to go to heaven but I also want to be a saint but am a sinner God forgive all my sins
@@ChrisOakesCO We follow the magisterium of the Catholic Church - the teaching authority of the church which correctly interprets the word of God, this is composed of the Pope and his 5,000 bishops(all PhD in Theology and Psychology) and 400,000 priest - in this way we don't need to have hundreds of opinions on the bible - a priest will need 8 years of formal education on theology and philosophy just to get ordained - combined and backed up by years of education and experience, and a 2000 year history, they have a lot more qualification to teach than a bible preacher or you - and further more - they have not change their teachings on the sanctity of life and marriage as Christ has taught - unlike all other churches that has surrendered their faith to the secular world
Saints were sinners, you are on right path!
@@ChrisOakesCO old-fashioned narcissist
For the sake of His sorrowful passion Have Mercy on US and for the whole world
This dear lady represents one of the Reasons i abandoned the protestants.
MrPanchoak Welcome ❤️🎉🙌
Just wondering: why?
There were a lot of reasons. Not only one.
These are but a very few.
False accusations leveled against the Catholics. Such as; they dont know scripture, they worship saints, the Pope is the antichrist(i was born and raised Seventh day Adventist)
None of these things are true, yet the indictment is to this day leveled against them. Its alright with me to disagree. I get that. But the vitriol is indicative of something far deeper than simple disagreement.
Scripture simply doesnt work outside the Church. If all scripture is useful, and valid, what are we to do with certain passages? Throw them out? If we dont reject those passages, we have to reject the entirety of scripture. Im not ready to do that.
As for myself, id rather trust this blessed lady, than to trust the theological sophistry of the likes of Calvin and Luther. They studied scripture brilliantly. Yet by their friuts i know them as wolves among the flock. They did not actually know God. This dear lady clearly does know him.
@@MrPanchoak . God creates all life and makes no mistakes whether Muslim or Hindu or Mormon or gay or straight all will be in heaven! See u there
God bless all our catholic brothers and sisters....the church is always and still is universal. We have true believers in many places all over the world. The wind blows where it wants inside and outside the Catholic Church.
Dear Sister Gaudia, thank you for everything you do. You and all the sisters in your congregation.
Sis Gaudia, somehow you opened a part of what i am now. Thank you.
you prolly dont care but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
This is outstanding! "all our familiars wait for our halting"... We are ALL in the battle of life, there is NO ESCAPE FROM IT. The only thing that matters is, is the friends we pick in the battle. Familiar Spirits that beat us up and halt us in the battle, or the friends of The Father! I thought this was good enough to pass on! Fix our eyes on Jesus, lest we sink instead of walking on the water, the waters, the familiar’s that beat us up…. Includes me too!
"The war is real. I need your help, God."
Chris Oakes - you make an interesting and an unquestionably worthy point: maintain "an attitude of gratitude."
Your response suggests to me that you've not been exposed to spiritual warfare.
I was a 30-year atheist. Unlike most atheists, who seem to carry a very large chip on their shoulder towards religion, I always felt religion had its value - even if it had no substantiation in scientific knowledge - as a human construct for coping.
Then one day I experienced the most bizarre sustained sequence of events, unexplainable & against all laws of physics (_meteorology, thermodynamics & aerodynamics_, to be precise,) I had no choice but to become Christian.
Once I digested this event sequence and accepted Jesus, I was beset with vicious, anti-religious thoughts, the likes of which I had _never_ considered in all my decades of atheism. This burst of thoughts came from no obvious source and was as bizzarely novel as my religious experience a few nights before.
My point: This was my first exposure to the spiritual warfare.
So: psychology is real, but spiritual warfare is as real as one's devotion to God.
If I could attribute "spiritual warfare" events to psychology (or neurology, for that matter,) I would love to do so. Unfortunately the only correlation I see in the spiritual domain.
Best!
Chris Oakes - Okay. Happy to be wrong. I expect I was reading too much into your comment. Also, my experience is a little different - less absolute, maybe - than you describe. Probably due to the nature of our personalities & our different experiences. (Perhaps you have not let corruption into your life as I did.)
In any case, good for you!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The friend of my friend is my friend.
👊🏼
@@ChrisOakesCO - I believe people thinking you're crazy. it's an odd business, this spirituality... It's so much more than saying prayers & tossing money into a basket every week. So much more.
you said earlier, "_God is already with you, and all people need is to Know that because when you Know God is with you you face the enemy without fear!"_ So true. Most folks seem to panic & forget God first thing in a crisis. I can't blame them, because everything in this modern world seems meant to distract us from God in the 1st place.
Anyway, I'm so glad you can help others with their trials. That is a blessing.
Keep praying!
When you see the temptation- TURN YOUR FACE and WALK AWAY. Solid & most simple advice to avoid sin!
I’m get distracted many times in my prayers but I keep going in my prayers .thank you for letting me know that God knows .I must continue to pray for the world .amen
Saint faustina has changed my life for the better ❤🙏
Your talk adds to recent messages pointing to the power of prayer. My personal sin/failing has been to tell myself, "I don't have time to pray...today...I have too much to do. Maybe I can pray...tomorrow." You are revealing my self-importance with such gentleness, but with great force. It will help me to turn to prayer as my first commitment. God bless you!
Your English is quite understandable Sister. .........
Thanks for your Ministry.
I do not even feel like wearing any make up anymore, look how Jesus has made you sooooo beautiful!! Perhaps HE may do the same for me, I hope
oluwaninSola
Me too! Powder and light eyeshadow & lipstick when I go to special occasions-sometimes not even! is enough for me!
He will.
I try to teach my daughter about how so many things in the world, even in the benign grocery store, are meant to catch consumers up in the pitfalls of worldliness. Women in particular are susceptible to this, with their natural inclination to cosmetics. (In the interest of equal victimization, tho, the cosmetics companies are making inroads to men's psyches, too.)
Start with contentment & confidence, trust in Him, and your inner beauty will show through.
Bless you my dear friend for your honesty. Jesus's joy will emanate from you and people will love being around you, for the right reasons and not for lust which is from the work of the enemy. No perfume can do that, only Jesus. God Bless you and your family. Steven.
We all seek beauty...whether it be cosmetics, clothing, surgery, fancy cars, etc....
We will never be satisfied looking for beauty in this world.
Jesus is the true fulfillment of beauty...and we are promised that beauty in the next world!
God bless! 💠
I started appreciating the Bible a lot more thanks to Saint Faustina's diary. Jesus communicated with her constantly. I never heard Jesus' words, advices, and desires were relayed to any saint to the extent He did with Saint Faustina. His messages are to all of us! Make time to read her diary. You learn a lot about God! His teaching is extraordinary to say the least. As I was a sinner and consequently as I applied few of his teachings in my life, I can feel His presence in my soul and am no longer afraid of my past. Unimaginable peace reigns in the heart who embraces Him. He truly forgives all your debts. This is what I experienced. I encourage you to take a spiritual dive. You will be amazed!
The our Father if understood and prayed slowly each day leads away from evil and makes us willing to do GOD'S will.I, a sinner and so too i must believe in HIS mercy .I had a profound spiritual experience in 1987 ,One that left me in no doubt of GOD and his mercy .St faustina was a true soldier who suffered for her army of souls .

I am sure so many ignored and "ordinary" people are now great saints in Heaven. May we follow them.
Amen , well said . I was thinking the same thing the same moment I happened to start reading your comment.
If I could be a saint, anyone can be a saint.
Only ordinary to fellow humans, not God
She is correct,reading the BIBLE in your right hand and on left hand the Diary of saint FAUSTINA is our guide to holiness.JESUS I TRUST IN YOU....

“Protest”ants / always trying to make it “easy” to get to Heaven just by memorizing Scriptures
I saw mother faustina in you sister... You will be the next saint in Jesus name alleluia amen
Sister!
I am so glad I found you....I watch Father Mike and there you came up on my screen.
I am a St Faustina follower and my husband and I have great devotion to her.
Love seeing you in the traditional habit Sister...I was taught by nuns from K-Catholic College in the 50’s and 60’s.

FR ED BROOM OMV CHANNEL- he has also deep devotion on ST FAUSTINA’s teachings........ ❤️🙌🏼⛪️💐📖 he teaches from the parish of St Peters Chanel Church in Hawaiian Gardens CA
parish has a hall namedAfter St Faustina....❤️😊
Sometime in the 60s, with women's liberation, there developed the conclusion that female vocations were worthless. Perhaps they had been taken for granted.... In any case, I think the Sisters of OLM are in the vanguard of the restoration of female vocations.
I feel the same and get grate comfort listing to the wisdom of sister fostina. I have found her at a time when I needed her wisdom to teach me to become closer to god an Jesus. God bless you an keep you n your family safe and healthy. 🙂🙏🏿❤️
Beautiful Sister. Beautiful talk. Praise the Lord.
My heart burned with in me. Thanks be to God.
I pray for conversion of the foolish, mislead souls that gave her a thumbs down. May they discover the love of GOD.

Dear Sister Gaudia, l have met you many years ago. I hope to meet you again someday. Love you Sister.. Lucia
Thank you! With all my heart I thank you. I need to listen to what you have to say regarding spiritual warfare, since I deal with so much internal and intense fear. Ceaseless prayer. Ceaseless prayer. I love the advocacy to pray hard, everyday, in every moment I can do so. Thank you.
@Fred Flintstone Trust in the Love of Christ and the fear will go away brother. Pray, "Lord Jesus son of God son of Mary have mercy on me and on the whole world." Amen
Thank you Sister, please continue praying for us that we may learn from you and apply the teachings in our life. God bless you and your congregation.

I am over my head at the moment with trials ,the temptations are there,it's so easy to leave my rosary when I'm so tired,have so little time,feel unwell,distracted to the point of complete irritation.So I use my will and sometimes it's so difficult,I just keep fighting ,it never gets easier.Jesus forgive me.and help me.
If you’re still going thru temptations, a good way to deal with this is daily Mass and Eucharist. God bless
I truly enjoy listening to Sister Guadia..She speaks very clear & takes lots of time with inspiration to translate with great emotion.Shalom & praise to God for giving us a awesome Sister.. 🙏🙏🙏
Youir videos and messages are life saving. thanks . I have benefited so much from this, Glory be to Jesus. Sister, thanks for allowing our lord to use you, God bless you, amen
I am convinced this kind soul speaks with 100%
conviction . Beside her I
feel 2 inches tall, maybe shorter. Thank you Sweet
Mary for bringing her to me
and to all of us.
I love st Faustina. She loved Jesus so much. She was such a good girl. I am mesmerized by her diary. I can't put it down. It soothes my soul. It is so interesting.
I am reading St Faustina's diary. It's great since you get the perspective of what Jesus wants from us. It gets to be painful often to read about Christ's wounds but it is necessary for everyone to read it. It really is.
Thank you.
What a precious sister she is!!
Lovely soul !!!!
You must be like a child to enter the gates of Heaven, as the Lord Jesus expresses it to His Own. I love this incredible woman as a Protestant Evangelical man. How could I not? She's a beautiful Christian woman in the Body of Christ.
After 30 years 6 months and 26 days in the military I can say this makes sense. There is honor in commendable service… adversity for others is never easy or pleasant but I have seen many who don’t mind trouble. It is now a new mission, a new commander
Sister Gaudia you are a great teacher and speaker. Keep up this mission of yours.
I believe you’re sent by Our God Sr. Gaudia . Hoping every month you can share us more Spiritual talk . Praise be to God
.🙏🙏. God bless you all Sisters . Thank you for praying for the whole world 🙏🙏🙏. I’m praying as well
Thank you so much Sister Guadia for sharing the good news.
Great treasure I bumped into. Watching from NAIROBI KENYA 🇰🇪 Sister you are a great speaker, He speaks through you.
God Speaks through her ❤️🙏

Sr Gaudia, please pray for me that Jesus show His mercy up on me inorder to be filled with His Spirit . I am greatly in need of it. Thank you.....
Thankyou.... Love this talk!!!!
Thank you Sister Gaudia (Grace upon Grace)!
Winning spiritual warfare thru the only JESUS CHRIST THE truth. The way the light and the KING. Jesus the only saviour . Seek him and he shall recieve you . Jesus is love and the light . the light shall destroy all darkness of this world . the kingdom is at hand the kingdom of the one and only Jesus Christ. The only saviour
Great talk. Thank you Sister
What a delight to find you Sister…God knows we are hungry for inspiring words delivered so beautifully.
She was beautiful inside and out sometimes people don’t see the true beauty of the people it’s the person not what on the out side so she was very beautiful .xxxxx
Yes, she is gorgeous
Another great talk. Thank you Sister Gaudia. Looking forward on your 2nd part and your talk on 'distractions'. God Bless you and may you be filled with Holy Spirit!!!
Thank you for an amazing description between trials, and temptations. The one that makes sense is to turn away and not speak to the enemy. Jesus was always silent.

Sister Gaudia Skass is herself very sincere and saintly. She has a beautiful angelic voice.
So, so amazing teaching / preaching sister God bless you. I am so thankful for you serving our church. I have lately been praying for the soul of my stepfather Victor Hernandez, my uncles Oscar, Lao, Bartolo. I know that they need prayers for their souls. I am also praying for the souls of my two rfiends Alba Figueroa and Nidia Pineda. I ask to our Merciful Father in Heaven to forgive their sins so their souls can rest in peace in Heaven and glorify our Father Lord God and Jesus Christ. I am also praying for the conversion of my family and friends....especially my daughter, my son, my husband may God use them for his kingdom. Thank you so much for the beautiful message. God bless you all. And peace be with you always.
Thank you Sister!!! Amazing
Wow! A few days ago I asked you to pray for me and to ask the sisters at the Divine chapel to pray for me, I believe you honored my request and I just want to thank-you and let you know I have much love for you being a wonderful, most wonderful woman of God. I am feeling much better most of the debilitating hip pain is gone and I can walk now without collapsing from the pain Thankyou. If you didn't pray for me thank you for the teachings because I am doing much better spiritually since I started studying the diary of sister faustina concerning the Divine Mercy picture through your ministry, so I thank you anyway, much love to you, God bless you and keep my little sister safe from the enemy.. As of today I am officially your much older brother in Christ Jesus.
God bless you Sister Glaudia you speak the words that we need at this times. I love your teachings and your sense of humor. I was blessed 20 years ago when my dear aunt was about to go meet the Lord. Seeking comfort I went to church and a group of people there were praying the rosary. I asked if they could pray for my aunt and a lady let me borrow her Divine Mercy prayer book. I fell in love with my Devine Mercy and there's not a day that goes by that I don't ask God for the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and the whole world. I'm so blessed that I came across your videos ❤️. I also have the diary of saint Faustina and I am reading it with an open heart. I pray for you sister and may Jesus come to you and you reveal his messages to us. God bless you 🙏😇. Sincerely I pray for our world now dealing with suffering from this pandemic ✝️✝️💫😇😇🙌
Wonderful advice , thank-you so much , blessings to you
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!
Sister, I'm a Sinner I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do,but instead I do what I hate. When the devil tempted me the tools I used Hearing religious songs until I can sleep.
Dear Sr. Gaudia,
Thank you for this beautiful talk!
You surely are a gift from above and a beautiful gift from God to His Church. I will pray you continue this beautiful work that you share so beautifully with us. Thank you for being a prophetess for God and for sharing your wisdom and storie. Bless you and your beautiful heart and vocation and love for God and for all us weak sinners.🙏🏻❤️✝️
Your talk will help us prepare and win our spiritual battles 🙏🏻😇🕊📿
May Jesus and Mary be blessed
Yes Sister Gaudia, I am a Soldier of God and prayer is just one of the weapons I use in fighting my spiritual battles and fighting for the father-son mother God and Holy Ghost, but I must do more than pray and Good Deeds are good and good teacher important and I know neither one of these two things is what it's going to get me into heaven. Prayer and Good Deeds alone I'm not to you have to be pure of heart. How do we Attain being pure of heart I doing the best we can everyday and if we fall we get up and if we fall again we get up again! Don't know how much you've inspired me and I can't thank you enough my dear beautiful Sister you are a Godsend, Amen!
Your Prayers were answered!
Thank you so much Sister
