      I am a Catholic and I've really appreciated the work Fr. Cole has done to present the faith attractively and in its essence to the masses (no pun intended) here on UA-cam. I'm sure he'd love to engage you in convo, and if I can be of service to you, I'd love to be!

      That was a beautiful statement, Alexandra. I’m Roman Catholic. Without the Holy Land of Israel 🇮🇱 the home of the Chosen Ones, there wouldn’t be a Holy Roman Catholic Church. Your God the Father is my God the Father. Catholics believe in 3 persons in 1 God - God the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit. Over 2,000 years ago, there were people who believed in Jesus as the Messiah; there were those who didn’t. The Jewish persons who believe in Jesus as the Messiah, are called “Messianic Jews”, & don’t want to be considered Christians. The Almighty God created ALL of us, & loved us unconditionally. As is said in my church ✝️ “Peace be with you!” As is said in temple ✡️ “Shalom!” Amen! 🙏🏼

    So interesting... I was ordained on the exact date and year, yet on a different side of the globe, in Slovakia (central Europe) with two other brothers of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD).
    It was an amazing day for me as well. My tears were streaming during the laying of hands, as several of the priests that have deeply influenced me were present and young people sung an amazing song of Isaiah 61: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me... Thanks God I had a handkerchief in my pocket. So grateful and overwhelmed by God!

      The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, just like a human family. (Humans are made in the "image" and "likeness" of God according to Genesis 1:26) In the Book of Job which is part of the bible,the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb. "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens"--Job 38:29. Because God can also be thought of like a mother (Isaiah 42:14,Isaiah 66:13,Matthew 23:37), all three roles (father,mother,progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying that the "Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit" is simply another way of saying that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic Church teaching for centuries. According to the Catholic Church, the Son is begotten from the Father. If this is true, the Father is the Father (Parent) of the Son. According to the Church, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.If this is true, the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit. According to the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" paragraph 264, "The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as the first principle and...from the communion of both the Father and the Son" Of course, the scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 2nd Person of the Trinity--whichever of these is true,the First Person and the Second Person may be the Parents of the Third.
      Parent definition 1a from Merriam-Webster dictionary: one that begets or brings forth offspring.

    This morning when I woke up I was thinking that at the end of the month (May 26, to be exact) I will be celebrating my 47th anniversary of ordination. I am Pastor Emeritus now, and many thoughts crowded my mind as I started my day. During these 47 years, I have had some difficult days and days of both positive and insecure wonder. I am grateful for both. I learned from everything! I started out a bit rocky! I walked very worried into the Newark Sacred Heart Cathedral because I was on very heavy antibiotics for pneumonia! But my Mom had called the cloistered Dominican nuns at the Rosary Shrine in Summit the night before and told them “ Girls get on your knees, he’s sick.” I was nervous walking up that incredibly long aisle until I saw my sister sitting right at the aisle. Then, I was okay . So the Sisters and my sister gave me the strength! I was also very calm. It all felt right. And so I began my journey in the priesthood. As I have said, I have had my “moments” , but I can honestly say, never a regret. I hope and pray that it will be the same for you. I really enjoy your posts. I would probably debate you young rascals on some points, but ultimately I pray only that you love God’s People with all your heart that you have already given to Him. Just do as you know what Jesus would do, and most of all, be kind. Chuck McDermott

The peace and joy that it brings with it is truly something else. Keep listening to His voice and keep leaning in, He will lead you in the right way. Dont push Him away, just ask Him to reveal Himself.
      This were the verses that came to my mind:
      John 6: 37
      New International Version
      All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
      John 10: 27- 30 (New American Standard Bible 2020)
      My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

    Congratulations Father Casey! From your first days as an intern at St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Greenville, SC, to now as a Priest in the Catholic Church, is a great testament of what happens when someone puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. You allowed many of God's people to come alongside you to guide and support you to a vocation that is already building God's Kingdom here on earth. I am inspired by what God has done, and will do, in and through your ministry, and will pray for your ministry daily. And remember, the only way that any of us can be the Christ-like role models needed by those in our environments is to daily put Christ FIRST in our lives!

    FATHER Casey! I finally got around to watching this video, I'm a newly confirmed catholic and watching this video brought me to tears. I was reminded again why I made this decision to enter the church, I was so happy to see all those women during the mass, and I was in awe of the symbolism that is seen in the parts of the mass that you had to do (such as laying down). I'm so thankful for your videos and all that they have done to encourage me in the faith! Keep it up and may God bless you!

    On my ordination day to the Permanent Diaconate, 28 June 2015, I was keeping it together, not easy for someone of Irish descent, until my brother, who went to God in 2018, arrived. He held me and said “Dad (who we lost in 1996) would be so proud”. That was it, tears poured down my cheeks and kept going, on and off, until the end of the ceremony. I agree that those few minutes, prostrated on the floor, calling on the saints was a wonderful moment allowing time to compose myself ready for the Holy Mass to continue. I also had the privilege of distributing Holy Communion to my family, whilst my 3 colleagues, ordained in the same day, were given a chalice each by the Archbishop.
    God bless.
