Thank you for this wonderful homily for the truth. The great thing about UA-cam is I can re watch it over and over . Praise be Jesus Christ and Mary. God bless you Father.
God loves us immeasurably, but he does not need us, we need Him. Work out your salvation in fear and trembling. If ever we take words seriously, it should be these. Our Blessed lord's passion was too horrific for words to express. He took our salvation this seriously, so we had better too..... His life was no walk in the park, not by a long shot. God bless you Fr. Tradcat
Truth is always a nice thing to hear. Pray for priests to never be afraid to preach truth at Mass. Priests must preach homilies like this and not try to water down the faith in fear of offending the Sunday Catholics.
Wow 😮 the most complete and truthful video I have seen!! Pray Jesus and Mary!!🙏🏻 No matter the sin in this world, the church will always prevails!! Jesús founded it. He prometed to keep it safe until his return!! 🙏🏻📿Amén 🙏🏻 ❤️🇵🇷
Thank you for the excellent homily, that is reality we have to be attached to the body of Christ, and prey to follow His teaching to persevere til the end. God bless you father.
Wow. I'm getting so tired of hearing Our Lord referred to as "our Saviour" but never a mention about what he's saving us from. Too many homilies these days are "horizontal", dealing only with our day to day lives rather than building up our supernatural faith. Thank you for this, and I'll continue to pray for my protestant family members and for my fallen away spouse.
I help with sacramental formation of children in our small parish. My role is to talk with the parents and go over what they should be teaching and helping their children with in their formation. From talking with them and my own general impression from the parish at large is; most deny many go to Hell (except maybe Hitler and Judas, etc); that few go directly to Heaven (except the named Saints); and that the other 99.9999% of us end up in time-out (purgatory) before entering Heaven as no big deal. I don't think they realize that being graced with Purgatory means being saved and thus is as hard to reach as Heaven itself is. Thus Purgatory makes up a part of 'The Few' Jesus is talking about in the parable of the narrow and wide paths. Keep the Faith.
A minute into the homily and already I like it. Any priest who quotes Cornelius A Lapide has my attention. Boy, oh boy! Outstanding from start to finish. The three types A Lapide gives - that is, the deluge, the 2 out of 600,000 who entered the promise land, and I can't remember the first one he gave - most definitely makes me want to work out my salvation with trembling. Fortunately, I also watched Fr. Manfredonia's homily on the Divine Mercy just before this!
There's a home run! I cannot recall such an honest representation of the truth of salvation possibly ever from the pulpit - or at least not in many years that I can recall- not since the Baltimore Catechism in the 1960's can I recall it being mentioned maybe once or twice. In all that time it is buried - I think mostly due initially to the grave decline in catechesis generally and from the pulpit, and do doubt due to the uncomfortable reality for those in mixed marriages and other reasons. Much thanks and kudos for this most needed refresher to invigorate the need for repentance, holiness, and evangelization. God bless!
Years ago when I went on retreats, with the teachings of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and the spiritual exercises. St. Robert Bellarmine, his theology came up at this time.. that if you weren't Catholic you weren't saved at all.. I've heard many sermons from priests that say "all roads lead to Rome" and we really don't know at that last moment who is really saved cuz God will come to that individual at that last moment..
Considering that most masses are the Novo's Ordo. They can be a holy one but it's up to the priests to not worry about offending and preach the gospel starting with the scriptures that deal with our outward appearance. I am still amazed how many come to church dressed immodest or as if they are going to the beach instead of coming to meet Our Lord and King., Jesus Christ.
What a beautiful homily! May God grant Fr. the grace to give endless homilies.
A very powerful homily. Thank you father for making your message so clear. May God bless you and everyone who hears these words.
Let’s pray all off us to God to have more priests like him !!! Thanks Father for speaking the truth!!!

Ask Our Lady.
I was saved 2,000 years ago (Jn 3:16), I am being saved (Philippians 2:12) and I hope to be saved (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46).

When God didn't let Moses inter the promised land for not following his command to a t. It showed how strictly he wants things done.
Wow!. and to think this is at a Novus Ordo mass!.... Unless I'm mistaken

Yep, and despite the NO it just goes to how how God works with those who have their hearts turned to him.
Peþeledog, go figure out what 'vincible ignorance' means...Until you understand what it means, you will not understand what this priest is saying.
