Matt! It was an honor to be on your show. Looking forward to working with you on a testimonial for Gabi After Hours. Thank you all for watching. God bless you and Mary be always at your side. AVE MARIA!
Gabi, I want you to know that for 40+ years, praying the rosary was very difficult for me, but now I enjoy praying the rosary because of your videos. I am currently praying one each day, but I am working my way back to four per day! God bless you!
My son prepared a noose and went down to the creek to take his life. He told the doctor this while he was in the hospital. The doctor asked why he didn’t go through with it. My son said he had a rosary with him and started to pray. I believe Mary asked her son and our Lord to save him that night.
I never comment but we lost our son almost a year ago and I want you to know the Rosary was the only thing that got us through our days at the beginning. We always gained strength during and after saying the Rosary.
God Bless and may Mary comfort you in your loss. Listening to BishopBarrens Rosary helped me gain an understanding of the depth of Mary's grief as she walked the path alongside her son to Calvary, being at the foot of the cross 😪. Knowing that Mary understands has helped me in my own grief and loss of my son. 📿
I homeschool my 7 year old. He struggles with autism and ADHD. I recently started praying a decade with him after school, that decade is his most CALM out of our entire schooling that day.
Maybe you should start the school day with a decade and see if that helps his focus. I should try this with my teen that I homeschool. I have 3. A moderate functioning autistic 13 year old, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. All of them have genuinely extreme ADHD with no self soothing skills and are completely unmanageable during Mass. Every Sunday we are completely embarrassed by how hyperactive they are and we can't pay attention to the Mass because we're constantly "shhh"-ing the toddler, telling the teenager to stop being goofy, and wrestling with the 1 year old who wants to run around. Meanwhile all the other children there seem to be perfect little angels who are content to just sit still and listen. Our church is very small and doesn't have a "cry room". It's so difficult and I just pray they learn to settle themselves.
Something remarkable happens when my wife and I say the Rosary 📿 each day at 7pm. When we say it, my voice drops to a much lower tone. I usually have kind of a high pitch. But when I say the Rosary I relax and I speak naturally….❤ I believe I’m learning to and praying this mode begins to occur all day.
My brother was dying in 2012 with heart issues. He barely walked 5 meters. We made the 9 days Rosary novena. Now it's 2024, my brother is still kicking and healthy. Glory to God. I will give thanks to Him forever till my last breath. Thank you to our Blessed Mother for her intercession
But How can she intervene, the dead have no power ...they are Graved and Wait Jesus to come back so they can be resurrected, hey praying to dead people, they can't do wonders, only Jesus.
I agree. We can't apologize for truth. What does that make us if we do? At best, cowards. At worst, lukewarm. I don't want to be spit out of God's mouth. Gabi inspires me not to water down truth. .
Thank you Keith for The Rosary Crew, you have really helped me understand it. Funny story I was at my daughters house to see my grandson, my husband and I brought them dinner, I looked at my phone and realized I missed The RosaryCrew and I was a little sad so I moved over to a chair and I had touched my phone by accident and all of a sudden your face is on my phone. You were doing the rosary crew on Instagram and all I could do was smile. God works in mysterious ways
Watching Gabi on UA-cam led me to pray 4 rosaries per day. My life changed. I am now a Sacristan and attend daily Mass. I’ve had countless miracles in my life but also sufferings. Praised be Jesus!!!
@@MelissaDiFini yes all 4 mysteries. 1 on my way to work and the other 3 throughout the day. It takes effort but so worth it. So many signal graces. Try it for at least a week. 💕❤️
Yes all 4 mysteries. 1 on my way to work and the other 3 throughout the day. It takes real effort but worth it. Try it for at least a week. So many signal graces! 💕💕💕
What I love about Gabi is he isn’t ashamed to be Catholic and he doesn’t apologize or make excuses or give weak “(well most of the time except here and not everyone) “ statements. He speaks from the heart and means every word. It’s extremely rare.
Where does the Angel Gabriel exalt Mary to the place of any influence on The Church? Catholics can invent anything that makes them feel warm and fuzzy (like Mormons and the bosom burning) but it does not promote Mary to some kind of prayer location.
@@ChristoverMarxfortheWin The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” Luke 1:26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John 19:26-27
One of the BEST GUEST you have had on your little show Matt. No arrogance, no pseudo smoking a pipe I am an intellectual guy….pure Holy Spirit! He my friend…IS REAL!
I loved your comment…….”no pseudo pipe smoking”. It really bugged me to see Matt and colleagues doing it. Why? Because I did the same thing when I was Matt’s age …..it was only when I got a bit older that I realized how “posing” it was.
Christian Protestant here. What a tremendous interview! My spirit was uplifted and my walk with Christ strengthened as I listened to all the mysterious ways that He and the Blessed Virgin Mary work in this world. So grateful to have learned about the 3 Step mental prayer. I love learning more of how to communicate with my Lord and Savior. Though I don’t fully understand the role of the Virgin Mary in Catholicism, I have no doubt on the miracles that happen in Her name. Thank you both.❤✝️❤️
@@Paulo_Sa_Pereira Thank you for clarifying. I would appreciate if you can direct me to further information regarding Our Lady’s role in God’s plan for humanity. I have been Protestant all my life. I’ve not encountered the rosary or Our Lady in any form of Protestant or Orthodox Christianity that I have explored. I mean no disrespect, I’m truly seeking to understand the rosary and Mary. I would be grateful for any further I formation you may think helpful to my understanding. Thank you.
I am also a Protestant converting to the Catholic Church, Keith Nester does the Rosary live everyday on Instagram, UA-cam and I think Facebook.TheRosary Crew is awesome doing it with all these people is extra special and he is really good at explaining it. He was a Protestant youth minister in a big church. Others that helped me where Dr Scott Hahn, Dr John Bergsma And Steve Ray, may God bless your journey.
This is wild and amazing. Thanks for this. The first time I saw a clip from this video, it was the Short about Mary. I'm a protestant who's been searching for the Church for 5 years. I had been studying the reformation from a Catholic perspective that day and got overwhelmed. Gabi's short on Mary started playing and for the first time I came out with a cry from deep in my gut "Mother, help me!" That evening around 8pm, my wife remembered we had to go pick up a dresser we had paid for at a garage sale. It seemed late but I had a good sense about it so I texted the guy and he was home. When he was loading the dresser, I noticed a tattoo he had and said "nice tattoo, is that a crown of thorns!?" Long story shorter, he's a catholic and he asked if he could give me catholic books. He came back out not just with books but with rosaries for me and my wife. Twenty years as a christian, never touched a rosary. Asked the Mother of God for help, got given a rosary the same day. It gets better, the guy was on paternity leave. The next day, my wife and I brought dinner to their house and he answered a bunch of my questions about Catholicism. I left there knowing I was at the point of no return of joining the Church. Praise be to God and thanks to our Holy Mother! Please pray for my wife and I as we discern which parish with which to take RCIA.
Great story. I just started RCIA. I’m a baby Catholic. I didn’t even know how to cross myself. Raised Pentecostal and Lutheran, split family. I had the basics needed the rest of the story. This post makes me smile:
Praise God. In discerning your parish. I'd say find a priest who reverence's Christ in the Eucharist. Meaning is he truly recognizing Jesus truly present as he Prays the Mass. Does he pinch his finger and thumb together after consecrating the Host. Does he rinse well the cup of His precious Blood after Communion. In short does he truly believe that he is handling the body and blood of the Lord. Or is he just performing actions and going through the motions from habit. This said just know that even the most irreverent priest still acts in the person of Christ. Just as we receive an indelible Mark on our souls at our baptism as lay Catholics, so too a priest receives an indelible Mark on his soul as being a Priest. Priests holding the office of Priesthood are called by God and gifted by God with Christ Priestly authority. Aaron Moses Brother (and his sons) were priests of the old Covenant which was a type of the Priesthood of the New Covenant. But even angels in heaven, though they possess infused knowledge and dwell in the presence of God, They cannot Absolve a person of their sins in the sacrament of confession. Hebrews 5 : 4 + 5 says : "One does not take this honor on his own initiative, but only when called by God as Aaron was." Even Christ did not glorify himself with the office of high priest; he received it from the One who said to him, "You are my son; today, I have begotten you"; Through every priest, if they have great reverence or not they have the authority and office to "Forgive us our sins and to Transform bread and wine into the body and blood of the Lord Jesus. Jesus in John 6: 53 says ; "Thereupon Jesus said to them: "Let me solemnly assure you, IF YOU DO NOT EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YOU HAVE NO LIFE WITHIN YOU.".... JOHN 6 : 50 "THIS IS THE BREAD THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN FOR A MAN TO EAT AND NEVER DIE." JOHN 6 : 54 "HE WHO FEEDS ON MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD HAS LIFE ETERNAL AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY." Read 1rst Corinthians chapter 11 : 23 thru 32. Then Google search Eucharistic Miracles. When we receive our Lord in the Eucharist we are Touching the Body and blood of the Lord, not just touching the hem of His garment as the woman with a blood flow in scripture. Protestants often ask us "Have you received Jesus or asked Jesus into your heart". Yes this is good to do, but we have the ability to take Jesus into our Body Physically because of the most imperfect Priest. Many of us Catholics go through the motions. But how should we act in the Presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords? At every communion He is truly present with us Physically. We can't get any closer to Him than by consuming Him in the Eucharist. Find a priest that Truly believes these things and you will be where you need to be. God bless.
'When you die, you're going to regret not having prayed the rosary every day' has me in tears. I'm so thankful that I heard this may God bless you Gabi, and our Lady keep you.
@danielcrowe1335 I'm definitely going to take your recommendation. You're not the first person to recommend this book to me this week, so I'm guessing the Spirit is leading me to this book.
I pray the rosary everyday! Our Lady brought me to her Son and that led me to investigate and I found the Gospel of John and John 6 brought me to the Catholic Church, I converted to Catholicism on the Easter vigil in 2022! Praying the rosary daily makes me feel close to our Lady!
I was very fortunate to have a good spiritual father as a priest who INSISTED that I pray the rosary every single day - no matter what. It was Gabe’s videos that got me praying the four rosaries every day. I’ve been doing so for more than 9 months and I probably will for the rest of my life . I am very ill right now but I am sure that Mary will be there for me at the hour of my death. Thank you, Gabe, for your videos!
Just wanted to say an encouraging word to you. Bless you for praying four rosaries a day as the Lord guides you in His will and plan for your precious life! Like you, I also have been greatly blessed by Gabi's channel and message. In fact, I just did his Marian consecration this year and it has changed my life. I can't speak highly enough about how I have been specifically blessed through him via Mary!
Stay hopeful & close to the Lord & our Lady, they Will see you through in every stage of your life. Focus on the life to come where there Will be no sickness. Tell God He is able to heal you or prolong your life but May His Will be done just that He write you in the Book life. Thank you for the efforts of the Rosary, keep it up🙏❤️🔥🤗
I was crying before the Holy Eucharist during adoration because my youngest is now on his own 4.5 hours away from us and I was worried about who will take care of him. Jesus lovingly said in my heart “I’ll take care of him.” The tears stopped and the worry was gone! That day, boom, after a week of nonstop crying. God is great at all times!!
Was waiting for my wife to get out of surgery today and the thought “you should talk to the church about teaching youth how to learn video / graphic arts to promote Catholic teaching” but then was like…you don’t know anything about videography. Then I put this podcast on later and Gabi just saying God will teach you how (like he did for him) has me really thinking God was speaking to me today to make this happen. We really need to go back to our roots and grasp the arts again and triumph over the secular garbage that’s out there in our culture.
Stephen..... GO do what you were told: YOU HEARD IT: Heaven needs you for a reason: The world needs you for reason: I'm guessing you are Croatian: Stijepan Cunič ? Bog te Blagoslovio ❤
Hi everyone, I’m not sure why I came across this video but please pray for my family and friends. I converted to Catholicism in 2018 and it’s been a difficult journey. There’s a terrifying storm happening in Houston right now and I honestly never knew these people lived not too far from me. I want to pray more but I need help. I want to see the love of God reach the people I love. I’m doing art full time and I’m also planning to start a podcast. I don’t make a lot of money but I won’t let the fear stop me. I feel that God has been pushing for me to go for it. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
I did leave the church because of this Pope. But after listening to Dr Taylor Marshall and Michael Matt I learned to not let this Pope keep me from the Eucharist and to pray the Rosary daily. I came back to the church, went to confession and now I’m accepting the Eucharist again. My husband came with me and our daughter came back a month ago. It’s shows like yours that has also helped me. Thank you for what you do. 🙏
@@cocktailsquirrel I actually know what you felt 🥺 but Scott Hahn says the very first Pope too had a problem he denied Christ three times. Then he turned around after that. We don’t always understand what God is doing beyond everything that we don’t see. We just have to trust him that He is in control. The Gates of Hell will not prevail against it.
Bless you sweetheart, you have don't a Marvellous job out of all of this... YOU have been strengthened: You will go forward in your FAITH: You see we never leave the Roman Catholic Church because of someone...
The way I hear Gabi speak of Mother Angelica, Mother Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, and other strong women makes me realize femininity and strength absolutely go together in Catholic womanhood! I’m so encouraged!
This is true feminism. Not the washed down version that the secular people speak off. True feminism is Catholic femininity , to be who Christ called us to be , as humans.
Gabriel will be at my parish next month giving a Marian conference and I’m so excited! He’s a very good speaker you can tell God is truly working through him, God bless him.
Man, I need to get myself to a charismatic prayer meeting, like Gabi did. He is on fire! His humor is stellar- wish we could have heard more but his message is paramount. Loved his insight as to why JP2 introduced the Luminous mysteries. Spot on! Gabi is precious and exemplary.
I’m in by a considerable margin one of the most difficult seasons of my life and THIS was exactly what I needed. Divorce, drugs, lust, sexual sin, pride, sloth. It’s a wonder I’m even alive right now. I am not a practicing Catholic but I ask a lot of questions and I keep feeling drawn to Catholicism. This was such a blessing to hear. Thank you to you both and all your teams that made this video possible. And Matt huge fan of the channel for years and this might be one of my favorites. Gabi thank you for your candidness and sharing everything you did. Also Thursday in the background giggling made me crack the biggest smile each time. God bless you all 🙏🏻
I'll be praying for u bro. Gotta add, start reading Peter kreeft. Handbook of christian apologetics, prayer the great conversation, Jesus shock. Kreeft changed my life.
@@robertbreish8182 you will thank me big-time if u read Kreeft. but youll thank me not because of anything i am or said (i am foolish), but because of the God kreeft taught me about. I went to CAtholic school for 12 years and started reading Kreeft in college. He's the first person in my life who wrote so convincingly about Jesus i realized for the first time in my life that Kreeft didn't know ABOUT Jesus, Kreeft KNEW Jesus as a friend. Kreeft had actually met Jesus mystically. Anything by Kreeft is freaking gold. Catholicism is worth dying for and telling other people about. It's the only faith that was made by God.
@@robertbreish8182 Reachout to a priest near you, Will certainly guide you, sometimes it hard to manoeuvre alone.. if you have any prayer book in the House grab or check online & devote 1,2 or 3 prayer Daily .. you Can say 3 Our Father devotedly Daily and ask God to come to your Help. You have to make alittle effort for God to empower you. Nothing impossible to God, just Thank Him that He has given you another Day. Stay hopeful🙏❤️🔥🤗
Matt, seriously this type of testimonies of living faith is what we need at the moment! Please grab normal guys like Gabi, but spirit in fire! to your studio more often. At this time of chaos in the church, we need this ever more!!!
Gabi I was so relieved to hear you say you actually struggle with praying the rosary. I converted to Catholicism in 2021 thanks to the daily 5 decades rosary. Your videos convinced me a year ago to pray the whole rosary everyday. However back in January of this year I decided to stop and go back to pray just one series of mysteries a day. The rosary had become such an awful burden in my spiritual life. It left me with no energy to do spiritual reading or lectio divina. My distaste of the rosary made me think my prayers could not possibly be pleasing to God. Turning back to one series of mysteries a day didn’t alleviate the dryness and mental fog however, I just felt a bit less burdened by it. I am about to become a mother and a week ago I started reading the Apostolate of Holy Motherhood, which is a book of private revelations (with imprimatur) of Our Lady and the Child Jesus to a young American wife in the 80s. Low and behold, the first rule of belonging to the Apostolate is to pray the whole rosary everyday! So I am back on the train because it seems to be Our Lady’s will for me. I also started to practice mental prayer during Lent for an half an hour everyday and so far I didn’t find it hard to combine both devotions in my daily life. I really hope I will push through when dryness comes, which I know it will. Living the spiritual life is not for the faint of heart. 🙏🏻
I’d like to invite you to an awesome online Rosary group: Rosary Crew with Keith Nester on YT M-F @ 5PM CST, Sat 8AM, Sun 945 AM. Keith gives a reflection on each Mystery & there is a chat to list your intentions.🙏📿 Congrats on your upcoming motherhood & prayers for a safe delivery.🙏
Thank you, Gabi for saying kind words about Bishop Barron. As a convert it’s such a challenge getting bogged down in all the strong opinions /voices online that don’t gather but scatter. You and Bishop Barron have taught me So much. Thank you for helping me, an ex Protestant, become gathered into myself, into the flock of the Catholic church, through Mary. Mary is so beautiful, so powerful, so humble, so behind the scenes yet ever present.
Gabe, I truly appreciate your ministry and your emails of encouragement to me over the years. I only hope The Blessed LORD and Our Lady let me thank you in person same day. From one dad to another thank you 🙏 for your example. As a 46 yr old former Marine I take more pride in being a soldier for Jesus Christ than I ever did as a Marine Praise be Jesus Christ Viva Cristo Rey 🗡️✝️🗡️
I'm 35 minutes in and I think this is my favorite episode ever. Gabi speaking into my soul. I've prayed the rosary daily since this past August, and I'll start giving it up for those I've hurt directly and indirectly. Also I will start working in many more holy hours into my life. Thanks for this.
Gabi is so right!!! I'm 1 of 5 kids and my mom made us pray the rosary everyday and we said it everyday at school. I'm the only one of my friends that is still a practicing Catholic . This gives me hope to bring some of my friends back!!
So cute his mother is Mexican! How he says it. I believe there is much grace on us Mexicans because we are very Catholic for generations. Viva Chisto Rey, Viva Maria. Viva Dios Padre & the Holy Spirit and all his Angels and Saints
I started praying the full rosary (4 mysteries a day) along with fasting from all sweets (I was nursing my son at the time and couldn’t fast from food) for about a month and a half last year. I did it at Gabi’s insistence for a critical intention regarding my marriage. I am still feeling the graces *to this day* from having done that. My love for Our Lady became effortless, and I felt God speak to me in a way I never had before - answering questions for me, lovingly showing me His Will. As hard as it was, I will never regret it. And the bonus, although by the time I was done with that period I didn’t even care so much anymore - I had my prayer request granted. God is so good for giving us His Mother. Still trying to get the willpower to get back into a similar habit of prayer today. Pray for me, please!
Practice telling yourself over and over, this is the devil trying to stop me from praying, pls Mother Mary cast that devil so far away, so far away from me. When you are lazy praying the Rosary, remember it takes only 20 minutes to pray the whole Rosary, yet we spend 12 hours thinking of useless things. The Rosary is a weapon that will help you fight the devil so you have to pray it at least once a day. Believe it or not now that I pray the Rosary daily and ask Mother Mary to please let me pray the Rosary once a day, if I sleep and did not pray the Rosary the whole day, I will be awakened before MN to give me time to still pray the Rosary before the end of the day. This happens so many times that by now, I know it is from Mother Mary.
I’m not Catholic, but have been walking with Jesus for 28 years. When I met Him, I was in my room and had a similar experience… cried like a mess… it’s so healing - the enemy prowls around seeking to devour, I too had some tussles with the enemy after meeting Jesus because I was into witchcraft for years. Renounced it all and my life has been radically different since - praise God that you have been set free! 🙏🏻💫 Go Jesus!
Gabe is such an amazing story teller (and videographer). His enthusiasm is infectious! He and Matt helped me decide that coming back to my Cradle Catholic roots after 40 years astray was possible! Thanks guys!!!!
I’m SO happy you had @gabiafterhours on this channel! Thank you! 🙏🏼 😊 I’m Coordinator for Confirmation, Youth and Young Adult Ministry in Southern California, and I started watching this interview last week and while watching it felt Inspired to take our young adults on the streets and pray the rosary publicly. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! Our Lady Mother of Mercy…Ora Pro Nobis!
This is my first video i ever seen from this channel. Ive been having trouble with my faith and wondering what was wrong and right. But this talk is so clear it just amazing. Glory to God!! God knew i needed to hear this.
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ I'm counting down to this one. Coming into contact with Gabi literally changed my whole life! I'm a Rosary prayer, I'm Mother Mary's baby and I'm so in love with Jesus ❤
I had a similar conversion moment on Good Friday at the veneration of the cross. I held it together for a bit but when I got home after the service I broke down and sobbed to my wife who wasn't Catholic and who didn't know what I was crying for but knew it was for something real. A year later, she became Catholic.
Thank you so much, Gabriel and Matt, for your missions. I can only confirm it. When you know, you know! I threw out thousands of dollars worth of crystals, books, equipment... within hours I got rid of it. What relief!! I have never regretted doing so. During quarantine 2 years ago I was begging the Lord to show me what to do to make up for my sins. Suddenly, out of nowhere there was a male voice above my head saying, "Pray the rosary!" I was overwhelmed. Still in quarantine, I started watching videos on how to pray - also came across your great videos!!! - and started to make rosaries. I ordered the necessary items, have not stopped praying the entire rosary ever since. I have been attacked lots of times, but Mother Mary has always interceded to help me. Once again, thank you so much! Praise the Lord! ❤
We have amazing priests in our parish today. We were quite worried before pandemic as there are alot of empty seats during Sunday mass. We’re very blessed with our new parish priest. He is soo active in the community, very dedicated, he knows everyone and reminds everyone. He invites and does not waver his faith and he does it with love. He creates activities and does birthday celebrations, created organizations, bible studies, youth, marriage, etc. What a blessing! Our parish is now full even Saturday mass is full. We have Children’s rosary, processions alot! Praying for good priests! Now, we have another priest helping our dear Father John, amazing as well! Truly a follower of Christ and loves our Mother Mary very much. Kodus to you, Matt and your channel!
This was by far one of the most heart warming and impactful conversations I have watched . God was truly glorified through this conversation . Thank you both.
My brother and I were super excited for this episode (ever since it was teased) and we caught the premiere, but I'm just coming back to tell you that this is now my favorite episode and both me and my brother can't wait for a sequel haha
Gabriel's interview resonated with me so much. Especially how he calls the people in the teaching resources he uses his friends. When I taught middle school, I did the same thing 😅. I was also fired from teaching a confirmation class for teaching the students how to pray the roasary and about Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mother Mary pray for us 🙏.
Jeez, you've had a lot...a lot of great guests, but this was, by far, the most special for me. Thanks. I saw your short featuring Gabi a few days ago, and something tugged at me to make sure to watch this. Now I know why. Thanks again @pintswithaquinas, and big thanks @gabiafterhours.
I love this story. I’ve heard it before, I thought about clicking off but just couldn’t. It was better this time than the last. I smiled throughout listening. God bless you both.
I absolutely LOOOOVED every moment of this video!! @gabiafterhours has changed my spiritual life COMPLETELY… so many fruits and I thank our Blessed Mother Mary for giving us her son Gabriel to lead us closer to her and her Son Jesus. I am praying for you gentlemen… keep lighting our spirituality on FIRE with love for our faith. God bless you both, and your families. Thank you 💕💕💕
Gabi is one of the many "organs of the Church" (including Matt Frad & team) that led me to Jesus. I was born of a Muslim family as of writing this we're celebrating the end of Ramadan. Because I had a hard time trying to understand who Jesus is, I would intentionally skip praying to Jesus and go straight to Abah and in most cases, to the Holy Spirit. And for whatever reason, I picked up the rosary and prayed nightly during my first five to six months in RCIA. It's through the rosary that it clicked who Jesus is and what He truly did for us. Not only that, I realise the role our Blessed Mother took part in the salvific history. And so, I share the same sentiment as Gabi (58:00) especially those who do not or will not want to understand who our Blessed Mother is. But I pray for them and while they're good people, it's only through the Church that we can be like-God. Ave Christus Rex, Ave Maria!
My brother, praise God you have found the Truth who is Christ!! Please be aware there are tons of incredible Evangelical Protestant Saints through whom our Lord is happy to work miracles, many of whom are former Muslims! So I'm sure all of Heaven including our Blessed Mother is rejoicing at this. Let's not get so caught up in extreme statements and focus instead on our Oneness in Christ
Thank you Gabi for your work! I love your st Maria Goretti video, I send it to many people and now I’m at the airport coming back from Italy where I visited Nettuno and St Maria’s Shrine🙏 Praise be to God🙏
Once after my conversion, I wanted to see the Holy Mother so bad (I was new and naive) so I spontaneously prayed “Mama, I want to see you …but let my husband see you and I will enjoy seeing you through his eyes.” That week, I walked in to the house & hI knew something had happened to him. I asked what was wrong. My husband said “you wouldn’t believe it anyway”. I asked again. He said. I came in to our bedroom & the Holy Mother was leaning over your side of the bed. I smiled and told him my story She really hears us. Even if it’s not miraculous like this.
I will start doing the same prayer daily for my husband. May his heart be pierced by her immaculate beauty 🙏🏼 Oh most beautiful and blessed mother Mary, I want to contemplate your immaculate beauty, but let Francisco see you and I will delight in seeing you through his eyes, in JESUS’s name. Amen. ❤️🔥
Thank you Gabriel for preaching on praying the entire Rosary. This changed my life. Love your Channel and your videos. Also your book recomendation of Life of Union With Mary was a game changer for me. Your preaching always touch my heart in a very practical way. I Can't thank you enough, because I feel that in many ways, I am who I am today spiritually because of your example. Thank you, and may the Blessed Mother protect you always.
Awesome about how you stood so firm on the rosary that if it meant you were fired from job so be it. And look at the immediate reaction from parents that got you a new job. Your life needs to be made into a movie to view on big screen theaters!!
With a long night of sewing costumes ahead of me, seeing this pop up on UA-cam lifted my soul. Thanks for being my sewing companions this evening and making tedious work more enjoyable.
My grandmother sewed a lot. I have many precious memories of her sewing things for me. And teaching me things in her sewing room. Cooking and sewing are a loving act for others ❤
I received my conversion before the blessed sacrament and I felt a huge need to learn the rosary to love Mary and I asked her to help me, since 2018 I’ve been praying the rosary daily but 2024 praying the rosary became hard, I wasn’t praying it daily, I couldn’t even finish one rosary. Sunday before holy Monday while meal prepping I found myself watching a video of Gabe on praying the whole rosary and these kids testifying to how much praying the whole rosary changed their lives, so I said for Holy Week I will pray the whole rosary for you Lord, I asked Mary to help me pray all 4 mysteries daily, haven’t stopped since, the moment I try to make excuses to not pray the rosary I feel this deep emptiness in my heart that goes away immediately once I start praying the rosary. God bless you both Matt and Gabe, I hope to meet you both some day. Don’t stop praying the rosary! 🙏🏻✝️❤️
I had something similar when trying to pray Rosary… I got real dizzy and felt like I wanted to pass out. Never told anyone about this.. thank you for sharing🙏🏻
Love to hear Gabriel not backing down in his Catholicism! His videos have convinced me of the fruits of praying the entire rosary daily, and I am currently preparing for Marian Consecration thanks to his videos on the topic.
I just drove across Washington State listening to this interview (usually I am praying but this just grabbed me and would not let go). Excellent conversation and hosting Matt. Going to Poland and Auschwitz in September. Will watch the documentary on St. Maximilian Kolbe. 🙏
He looks a lot like Dude Dad to me. Gabi's energy reminds me of Father Mike. He is on fire. I had barely heard of him before, but what a fantastic witness. He is spot on with expanding use and presence of Catholicism in media.
Matt! It was an honor to be on your show. Looking forward to working with you on a testimonial for Gabi After Hours. Thank you all for watching. God bless you and Mary be always at your side. AVE MARIA!
AVE MARIA!
So looking forward to this!!
❣️🕊❣️
Gabi, I want you to know that for 40+ years, praying the rosary was very difficult for me, but now I enjoy praying the rosary because of your videos. I am currently praying one each day, but I am working my way back to four per day! God bless you!
Ave Maria! From CT! (near Griswold:))
My son prepared a noose and went down to the creek to take his life. He told the doctor this while he was in the hospital. The doctor asked why he didn’t go through with it. My son said he had a rosary with him and started to pray. I believe Mary asked her son and our Lord to save him that night.
What a beautiful blessing.
Glory to God in the highest!
Amen To God be the glory ❤
I believe this is true. I had a similar experience. Prayer is heard.
Our Lady absolutely did. Thank goodness he was carrying her rosary.
I never comment but we lost our son almost a year ago and I want you to know the Rosary was the only thing that got us through our days at the beginning. We always gained strength during and after saying the Rosary.
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️🙏🏼💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your comment
i am very sorry for your loss. praying for you, may God be with you and your family and console you during this time.
God Bless and may Mary comfort you in your loss. Listening to BishopBarrens Rosary helped me gain an understanding of the depth of Mary's grief as she walked the path alongside her son to Calvary, being at the foot of the cross 😪. Knowing that Mary understands has helped me in my own grief and loss of my son. 📿
I’m sorry for your loss! Amen to the Rosary! “To Jesus, through Mary.” 👸❤️
I homeschool my 7 year old. He struggles with autism and ADHD. I recently started praying a decade with him after school, that decade is his most CALM out of our entire schooling that day.
Mine has that too. He is 5 and currently can't even go to mass because he's so hyper. I pray that by the time he is seven he'll be the same.
Beautiful!
Maybe you should start the school day with a decade and see if that helps his focus.
I should try this with my teen that I homeschool.
I have 3. A moderate functioning autistic 13 year old, a 3 year old and a 1 year old. All of them have genuinely extreme ADHD with no self soothing skills and are completely unmanageable during Mass. Every Sunday we are completely embarrassed by how hyperactive they are and we can't pay attention to the Mass because we're constantly "shhh"-ing the toddler, telling the teenager to stop being goofy, and wrestling with the 1 year old who wants to run around. Meanwhile all the other children there seem to be perfect little angels who are content to just sit still and listen. Our church is very small and doesn't have a "cry room". It's so difficult and I just pray they learn to settle themselves.
Something remarkable happens when my wife and I say the Rosary 📿 each day at 7pm. When we say it, my voice drops to a much lower tone. I usually have kind of a high pitch. But when I say the Rosary I relax and I speak naturally….❤ I believe I’m learning to and praying this mode begins to occur all day.
Same happens to thiusands of people and they never prayed once. Especially to statues and messing about with beads!
My brother was dying in 2012 with heart issues. He barely walked 5 meters. We made the 9 days Rosary novena. Now it's 2024, my brother is still kicking and healthy. Glory to God. I will give thanks to Him forever till my last breath. Thank you to our Blessed Mother for her intercession
Amen 🙏
That is amazing praise be to God and thank for Mary’s intercession 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️✝️❤️🙏🏼
It truly was a miracle, I'm so happy for you !
But How can she intervene, the dead have no power ...they are Graved and Wait Jesus to come back so they can be resurrected, hey praying to dead people, they can't do wonders, only Jesus.
@niklassalazar your thinking is a protestant thinking. FYI the Rosary's content is Jesus's life.
As a protestant this might be the best conversation on Mary.
Gabriel is the best. Not a dry dead academician who doesn’t actually pray or practice their faith.
You're cool I'm really glad you liked it God Bless you
I agree. We can't apologize for truth. What does that make us if we do? At best, cowards. At worst, lukewarm. I don't want to be spit out of God's mouth. Gabi inspires me not to water down truth. .
Thank you for this interview. Very inspiring. God bless.
Come home. God Bless you
Love this! Gabe is such an inspiration and having spent time with him off camera, I can tell you he is the real deal. Great interview, Matt.
Love your work too brother Keith! God bless your ministry ✝️📿🙏
You are one of the truth seekers and God bless you for your work as well.
Keith- as a Protestant currently in RCIA Inquiry, I have appreciated your channel. Also, your interview on Pints! Thank you! God Bless you! ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Keith, you’re pretty good yourself! You have a great testimony which is leading many people to Jesus and the Catholic Church.
Thank you Keith for The Rosary Crew, you have really helped me understand it. Funny story I was at my daughters house to see my grandson, my husband and I brought them dinner, I looked at my phone and realized I missed The RosaryCrew and I was a little sad so I moved over to a chair and I had touched my phone by accident and all of a sudden your face is on my phone. You were doing the rosary crew on Instagram and all I could do was smile. God works in mysterious ways
Watching Gabi on UA-cam led me to pray 4 rosaries per day. My life changed. I am now a Sacristan and attend daily Mass. I’ve had countless miracles in my life but also sufferings. Praised be Jesus!!!
I want to pray 4 rosaries a day but it’s a challenge for me; I’m going to pray for the grace to be able to do that 🙏🏻
Are you praying all of the mysteries 4 times a day or just the mysteries of the day?
@@MelissaDiFini yes all 4 mysteries. 1 on my way to work and the other 3 throughout the day. It takes effort but so worth it. So many signal graces. Try it for at least a week. 💕❤️

do it!
What I love about Gabi is he isn’t ashamed to be Catholic and he doesn’t apologize or make excuses or give weak “(well most of the time except here and not everyone) “ statements. He speaks from the heart and means every word. It’s extremely rare.
It’s funny God picked someone named Gabriel to announce Our Lady just like St Gabriel the Archangel ❤
THANK YOU for that connection
This is not funny, this is calling ;)
Where does the Angel Gabriel exalt Mary to the place of any influence on The Church? Catholics can invent anything that makes them feel warm and fuzzy (like Mormons and the bosom burning) but it does not promote Mary to some kind of prayer location.
@@ChristoverMarxfortheWin The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” Luke 1:26
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John 19:26-27
The Holy Spirit was described to me once by a monk as "the laughing man". I think this sort of thing is what he meant.
One of the BEST GUEST you have had on your little show Matt. No arrogance, no pseudo smoking a pipe I am an intellectual guy….pure Holy Spirit! He my friend…IS REAL!
Yes!! I agree.
Yes!! I HATE the cigar!! 🤮
I loved your comment…….”no pseudo pipe smoking”. It really bugged me to see Matt and colleagues doing it. Why? Because I did the same thing when I was Matt’s age …..it was only when I got a bit older that I realized how “posing” it was.
@@suzannebeck8277he is an excellent guest, but hey now on cigars
hmmm and doesnt want admit he's Mexican ? do not respect him!
Christian Protestant here. What a tremendous interview! My spirit was uplifted and my walk with Christ strengthened as I listened to all the mysterious ways that He and the Blessed Virgin Mary work in this world.
So grateful to have learned about the 3 Step mental prayer. I love learning more of how to communicate with my Lord and Savior.
Though I don’t fully understand the role of the Virgin Mary in Catholicism, I have no doubt on the miracles that happen in Her name.
Thank you both.❤✝️❤️
Loved your comment., just want to say that Our Lady's role is not in Catholicism but in God's Plan for humanity. Thanks for your contribution.
@@Paulo_Sa_Pereira Thank you for clarifying. I would appreciate if you can direct me to further information regarding Our Lady’s role in God’s plan for humanity.
I have been Protestant all my life. I’ve not encountered the rosary or Our Lady in any form of Protestant or Orthodox Christianity that I have explored.
I mean no disrespect, I’m truly seeking to understand the rosary and Mary. I would be grateful for any further I formation you may think helpful to my understanding. Thank you.
I am also a Protestant converting to the Catholic Church, Keith Nester does the Rosary live everyday on Instagram, UA-cam and I think Facebook.TheRosary Crew is awesome doing it with all these people is extra special and he is really good at explaining it. He was a Protestant youth minister in a big church. Others that helped me where Dr Scott Hahn, Dr John Bergsma And Steve Ray, may God bless your journey.
@@jennypucci7118 Thank you so much for the suggestions and the encouragement.❤️✝️❤️
The miracles happen in Jesus’ name through Mary’s intercession 💙
This is wild and amazing. Thanks for this. The first time I saw a clip from this video, it was the Short about Mary. I'm a protestant who's been searching for the Church for 5 years. I had been studying the reformation from a Catholic perspective that day and got overwhelmed. Gabi's short on Mary started playing and for the first time I came out with a cry from deep in my gut "Mother, help me!" That evening around 8pm, my wife remembered we had to go pick up a dresser we had paid for at a garage sale. It seemed late but I had a good sense about it so I texted the guy and he was home. When he was loading the dresser, I noticed a tattoo he had and said "nice tattoo, is that a crown of thorns!?" Long story shorter, he's a catholic and he asked if he could give me catholic books. He came back out not just with books but with rosaries for me and my wife. Twenty years as a christian, never touched a rosary. Asked the Mother of God for help, got given a rosary the same day. It gets better, the guy was on paternity leave. The next day, my wife and I brought dinner to their house and he answered a bunch of my questions about Catholicism. I left there knowing I was at the point of no return of joining the Church. Praise be to God and thanks to our Holy Mother! Please pray for my wife and I as we discern which parish with which to take RCIA.
Prayers! Bless you! Thank you for sharing that beautiful experience
Great story. I just started RCIA. I’m a baby Catholic. I didn’t even know how to cross myself. Raised Pentecostal and Lutheran, split family. I had the basics needed the rest of the story. This post makes me smile:
Praise God. In discerning your parish. I'd say find a priest who reverence's Christ in the Eucharist. Meaning is he truly recognizing Jesus truly present as he Prays the Mass. Does he pinch his finger and thumb together after consecrating the Host. Does he rinse well the cup of His precious Blood after Communion. In short does he truly believe that he is handling the body and blood of the Lord.
Or is he just performing actions and going through the motions from habit.
This said just know that even the most irreverent priest still acts in the person of Christ. Just as we receive an indelible Mark on our souls at our baptism as lay Catholics, so too a priest receives an indelible Mark on his soul as being a Priest.
Priests holding the office of Priesthood are called by God and gifted by God with Christ Priestly authority.
Aaron Moses Brother (and his sons) were priests of the old Covenant which was a type of the Priesthood of the New Covenant. But even angels in heaven, though they possess infused knowledge and dwell in the presence of God, They cannot Absolve a person of their sins in the sacrament of confession.
Hebrews 5 : 4 + 5 says : "One does not take this honor on his own initiative, but only when called by God as Aaron was."
Even Christ did not glorify himself with the office of high priest; he received it from the One who said to him, "You are my son; today, I have begotten you";
Through every priest, if they have great reverence or not they have the authority and office to "Forgive us our sins and to Transform bread and wine into the body and blood of the Lord Jesus.
Jesus in John 6: 53 says ; "Thereupon Jesus said to them:
"Let me solemnly assure you, IF YOU DO NOT EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YOU HAVE NO LIFE WITHIN YOU."....
JOHN 6 : 50 "THIS IS THE BREAD THAT COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN FOR A MAN TO EAT AND NEVER DIE."
JOHN 6 : 54 "HE WHO FEEDS ON MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD HAS LIFE ETERNAL AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP ON THE LAST DAY."
Read 1rst Corinthians chapter 11 : 23 thru 32.
Then Google search Eucharistic Miracles.
When we receive our Lord in the Eucharist we are Touching the Body and blood of the Lord, not just touching the hem of His garment as the woman with a blood flow in scripture.
Protestants often ask us "Have you received Jesus or asked Jesus into your heart".
Yes this is good to do, but we have the ability to take Jesus into our Body Physically because of the most imperfect Priest.
Many of us Catholics go through the motions. But how should we act in the Presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
At every communion He is truly present with us Physically. We can't get any closer to Him than by consuming Him in the Eucharist.
Find a priest that Truly believes these things and you will be where you need to be. God bless.
'When you die, you're going to regret not having prayed the rosary every day' has me in tears. I'm so thankful that I heard this may God bless you Gabi, and our Lady keep you.
Read the secret of the rosary by St. Louis de Montfort.
@danielcrowe1335 I'm definitely going to take your recommendation. You're not the first person to recommend this book to me this week, so I'm guessing the Spirit is leading me to this book.
I pray the rosary everyday! Our Lady brought me to her Son and that led me to investigate and I found the Gospel of John and John 6 brought me to the Catholic Church, I converted to Catholicism on the Easter vigil in 2022! Praying the rosary daily makes me feel close to our Lady!
Praise God! You are the Springtime of the Church, esp for us cradle Catholics!
Amen! Continue to allow Our Lady to lead you 🌹
Oh Mama Mary LOVES you so much!! You are her beloved disciple!! And by taking her to your home ( heart) she only guided you to JESUS!!!
I totally agree with you ! He was such an inspiring guest. Both Matt and Gab were great. There was such a good energy between them, don't you agree ?!
Glory to God & welcome Home🙏❤️🔥🎉✅

Love them both
Me tooo!!! And I have a third favorite, the channel Uniquely Mary. You should check it!
I was very fortunate to have a good spiritual father as a priest who INSISTED that I pray the rosary every single day - no matter what. It was Gabe’s videos that got me praying the four rosaries every day. I’ve been doing so for more than 9 months and I probably will for the rest of my life . I am very ill right now but I am sure that Mary will be there for me at the hour of my death. Thank you, Gabe, for your videos!
God bless you 🙏
Just wanted to say an encouraging word to you. Bless you for praying four rosaries a day as the Lord guides you in His will and plan for your precious life! Like you, I also have been greatly blessed by Gabi's channel and message. In fact, I just did his Marian consecration this year and it has changed my life. I can't speak highly enough about how I have been specifically blessed through him via Mary!
Four per day?! I can barely get through one.
I hope you get well, keep praying and maybe also turn to Archangel Raphael for your healing. God bless you and protect you !
Stay hopeful & close to the Lord & our Lady, they Will see you through in every stage of your life. Focus on the life to come where there Will be no sickness. Tell God He is able to heal you or prolong your life but May His Will be done just that He write you in the Book life. Thank you for the efforts of the Rosary, keep it up🙏❤️🔥🤗
I was crying before the Holy Eucharist during adoration because my youngest is now on his own 4.5 hours away from us and I was worried about who will take care of him. Jesus lovingly said in my heart “I’ll take care of him.” The tears stopped and the worry was gone! That day, boom, after a week of nonstop crying. God is great at all times!!
Was waiting for my wife to get out of surgery today and the thought “you should talk to the church about teaching youth how to learn video / graphic arts to promote Catholic teaching” but then was like…you don’t know anything about videography. Then I put this podcast on later and Gabi just saying God will teach you how (like he did for him) has me really thinking God was speaking to me today to make this happen. We really need to go back to our roots and grasp the arts again and triumph over the secular garbage that’s out there in our culture.
God doesnt call tge equipped, he equips the called.
Keep knocking on God's door, he'll ope
Have at it, brother. I will be praying for you both.

Hi everyone, I’m not sure why I came across this video but please pray for my family and friends. I converted to Catholicism in 2018 and it’s been a difficult journey. There’s a terrifying storm happening in Houston right now and I honestly never knew these people lived not too far from me. I want to pray more but I need help. I want to see the love of God reach the people I love. I’m doing art full time and I’m also planning to start a podcast. I don’t make a lot of money but I won’t let the fear stop me. I feel that God has been pushing for me to go for it. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen
I prayed that Hail Mary with you
May your love ones walk in the safety of our Lord and your heart don’t fear and seek for refuge the arms of our Lord.
@nochew praying with you 🙏 📿 🙏
😮am trying to be all,,, *!..
I did leave the church because of this Pope. But after listening to Dr Taylor Marshall and Michael Matt I learned to not let this Pope keep me from the Eucharist and to pray the Rosary daily. I came back to the church, went to confession and now I’m accepting the Eucharist again. My husband came with me and our daughter came back a month ago. It’s shows like yours that has also helped me. Thank you for what you do. 🙏
Praise God! The church needs you and your prayers

@@cocktailsquirrel I actually know what you felt 🥺 but Scott Hahn says the very first Pope too had a problem he denied Christ three times. Then he turned around after that.

The way I hear Gabi speak of Mother Angelica, Mother Mary, St. Teresa of Avila, and other strong women makes me realize femininity and strength absolutely go together in Catholic womanhood! I’m so encouraged!
This is true feminism. Not the washed down version that the secular people speak off. True feminism is Catholic femininity , to be who Christ called us to be , as humans.
I’m literally weeping over Our Blessed Mother’s intercession for Gabriel. She did the same for me. Our Lady of Guadalupe is an exorcism.
Gabriel will be at my parish next month giving a Marian conference and I’m so excited! He’s a very good speaker you can tell God is truly working through him, God bless him.

Man, I need to get myself to a charismatic prayer meeting, like Gabi did. He is on fire! His humor is stellar- wish we could have heard more but his message is paramount. Loved his insight as to why JP2 introduced the Luminous mysteries. Spot on! Gabi is precious and exemplary.
This conversation might have rekindled something in me. God bless you guys!
This is so exciting! My love for the rosary was inflamed by his talks. Love Gabi!
Same here! I bought a miraculous medal , got it blessed by a priest and now I wear it 24/7

I’m in by a considerable margin one of the most difficult seasons of my life and THIS was exactly what I needed. Divorce, drugs, lust, sexual sin, pride, sloth. It’s a wonder I’m even alive right now. I am not a practicing Catholic but I ask a lot of questions and I keep feeling drawn to Catholicism. This was such a blessing to hear. Thank you to you both and all your teams that made this video possible. And Matt huge fan of the channel for years and this might be one of my favorites. Gabi thank you for your candidness and sharing everything you did. Also Thursday in the background giggling made me crack the biggest smile each time. God bless you all 🙏🏻

Anything by Kreeft is freaking gold.

Going super hard every video as well!
Matt, seriously this type of testimonies of living faith is what we need at the moment! Please grab normal guys like Gabi, but spirit in fire! to your studio more often. At this time of chaos in the church, we need this ever more!!!
EXACTLY YES 🎉
Gabi I was so relieved to hear you say you actually struggle with praying the rosary.
I converted to Catholicism in 2021 thanks to the daily 5 decades rosary. Your videos convinced me a year ago to pray the whole rosary everyday. However back in January of this year I decided to stop and go back to pray just one series of mysteries a day. The rosary had become such an awful burden in my spiritual life. It left me with no energy to do spiritual reading or lectio divina. My distaste of the rosary made me think my prayers could not possibly be pleasing to God. Turning back to one series of mysteries a day didn’t alleviate the dryness and mental fog however, I just felt a bit less burdened by it.
I am about to become a mother and a week ago I started reading the Apostolate of Holy Motherhood, which is a book of private revelations (with imprimatur) of Our Lady and the Child Jesus to a young American wife in the 80s. Low and behold, the first rule of belonging to the Apostolate is to pray the whole rosary everyday! So I am back on the train because it seems to be Our Lady’s will for me. I also started to practice mental prayer during Lent for an half an hour everyday and so far I didn’t find it hard to combine both devotions in my daily life. I really hope I will push through when dryness comes, which I know it will. Living the spiritual life is not for the faint of heart. 🙏🏻
I’d like to invite you to an awesome online Rosary group: Rosary Crew with Keith Nester on YT M-F @ 5PM CST, Sat 8AM, Sun 945 AM. Keith gives a reflection on each Mystery & there is a chat to list your intentions.🙏📿 Congrats on your upcoming motherhood & prayers for a safe delivery.🙏
Thank you, Gabi for saying kind words about Bishop Barron. As a convert it’s such a challenge getting bogged down in all the strong opinions /voices online that don’t gather but scatter. You and Bishop Barron have taught me So much. Thank you for helping me, an ex Protestant, become gathered into myself, into the flock of the Catholic church, through Mary. Mary is so beautiful, so powerful, so humble, so behind the scenes yet ever present.
Glory to God & welcome Home🙏❤️🔥🎉
Just listen to the "good voices and good opinions ",
they will lift your "Spirit" sweetheart ❤
Gabe,
I truly appreciate your ministry and your emails of encouragement to me over the years. I only hope The Blessed LORD and Our Lady let me thank you in person same day.
From one dad to another thank you 🙏 for your example.

Beautiful! God bless you and your family!
I'm 35 minutes in and I think this is my favorite episode ever. Gabi speaking into my soul. I've prayed the rosary daily since this past August, and I'll start giving it up for those I've hurt directly and indirectly. Also I will start working in many more holy hours into my life. Thanks for this.
Gabi is so right!!! I'm 1 of 5 kids and my mom made us pray the rosary everyday and we said it everyday at school. I'm the only one of my friends that is still a practicing Catholic . This gives me hope to bring some of my friends back!!
So cute his mother is Mexican! How he says it. I believe there is much grace on us Mexicans because we are very Catholic for generations. Viva Chisto Rey, Viva Maria. Viva Dios Padre & the Holy Spirit and all his Angels and Saints
Amen. It’s very sad that the evil new liberal culture is claiming that our Virgin de Guadalupe is some Aztec goddess 😭
Yes!! I bet you anything he had a rosary praying ancestor to get all that grace of conversion dumped on him
More people like this man. The Church and the WORLD need more real believers like this man. The real gospel will always be offensive to the lukewarm.
“Am I learning more or am I being a coward” VERY REAL CONSCIOUSNESS
I started praying the full rosary (4 mysteries a day) along with fasting from all sweets (I was nursing my son at the time and couldn’t fast from food) for about a month and a half last year. I did it at Gabi’s insistence for a critical intention regarding my marriage. I am still feeling the graces *to this day* from having done that. My love for Our Lady became effortless, and I felt God speak to me in a way I never had before - answering questions for me, lovingly showing me His Will. As hard as it was, I will never regret it. And the bonus, although by the time I was done with that period I didn’t even care so much anymore - I had my prayer request granted. God is so good for giving us His Mother. Still trying to get the willpower to get back into a similar habit of prayer today. Pray for me, please!
Practice telling yourself over and over, this is the devil trying to stop me from praying, pls Mother Mary cast that devil so far away, so far away from me. When you are lazy praying the Rosary, remember it takes only 20 minutes to pray the whole Rosary, yet we spend 12 hours thinking of useless things. The Rosary is a weapon that will help you fight the devil so you have to pray it at least once a day. Believe it or not now that I pray the Rosary daily and ask Mother Mary to please let me pray the Rosary once a day, if I sleep and did not pray the Rosary the whole day, I will be awakened before MN to give me time to still pray the Rosary before the end of the day. This happens so many times that by now, I know it is from Mother Mary.
Mother Angelica is a saint in our home. God has worked miracles through her!
I’m not Catholic, but have been walking with Jesus for 28 years. When I met Him, I was in my room and had a similar experience… cried like a mess… it’s so healing - the enemy prowls around seeking to devour, I too had some tussles with the enemy after meeting Jesus because I was into witchcraft for years. Renounced it all and my life has been radically different since - praise God that you have been set free! 🙏🏻💫 Go Jesus!
What happened when you met Jesus? Was it a vision? Did you see him??
"Our Lady has a plan. She's going to be the one who brings in Christ." Amen!!!
This interview fascinated me. I wasn’t planning on watching it all in one sitting, but couldn’t turn it off. 💕
Gabe is such an amazing story teller (and videographer). His enthusiasm is infectious! He and Matt helped me decide that coming back to my Cradle Catholic roots after 40 years astray was possible! Thanks guys!!!!
I'm not catholic but I am really enjoying learning about your faith.
I’m SO happy you had @gabiafterhours on this channel! Thank you! 🙏🏼 😊 I’m Coordinator for Confirmation, Youth and Young Adult Ministry in Southern California, and I started watching this interview last week and while watching it felt Inspired to take our young adults on the streets and pray the rosary publicly. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!
Our Lady Mother of Mercy…Ora Pro Nobis!
Gabriel, You have ignited my fire for Christ. Thank you.
Gabriel Castillo, you are a gift to so many. God bless you! 🙏🏼🥰
This is my first video i ever seen from this channel. Ive been having trouble with my faith and wondering what was wrong and right. But this talk is so clear it just amazing. Glory to God!! God knew i needed to hear this.
You were led to the best. Pray the Rosary DAILY
Best guest EVER! No apologies is what we all need to do!
I’ve listened three times. I ran out of adjectives…astounding, amazing, inspiring, jaw-dropping, etc. etc. THANK YOU for this conversation.
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ I'm counting down to this one. Coming into contact with Gabi literally changed my whole life! I'm a Rosary prayer, I'm Mother Mary's baby and I'm so in love with Jesus ❤
I had a similar conversion moment on Good Friday at the veneration of the cross. I held it together for a bit but when I got home after the service I broke down and sobbed to my wife who wasn't Catholic and who didn't know what I was crying for but knew it was for something real. A year later, she became Catholic.
Gabi is amazing. I did my 33 days total consecration to Mary with him , that was wonderful.
Me too !!
Me too!! It was so powerful 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Gabriel and Matt, for your missions. I can only confirm it. When you know, you know! I threw out thousands of dollars worth of crystals, books, equipment... within hours I got rid of it. What relief!! I have never regretted doing so. During quarantine 2 years ago I was begging the Lord to show me what to do to make up for my sins. Suddenly, out of nowhere there was a male voice above my head saying, "Pray the rosary!" I was overwhelmed. Still in quarantine, I started watching videos on how to pray - also came across your great videos!!! - and started to make rosaries. I ordered the necessary items, have not stopped praying the entire rosary ever since. I have been attacked lots of times, but Mother Mary has always interceded to help me. Once again, thank you so much! Praise the Lord! ❤
God bless both of you.❤❤
36:00😂😂 I needed this today! That is a wonderful story praise the Lord!
God bless Matt and Gabi 🙏🏽
Blown away by this show. Kind of speechless right now. ❤
We have amazing priests in our parish today. We were quite worried before pandemic as there are alot of empty seats during Sunday mass.
We’re very blessed with our new parish priest. He is soo active in the community, very dedicated, he knows everyone and reminds everyone. He invites and does not waver his faith and he does it with love. He creates activities and does birthday celebrations, created organizations, bible studies, youth, marriage, etc. What a blessing! Our parish is now full even Saturday mass is full. We have Children’s rosary, processions alot! Praying for good priests! Now, we have another priest helping our dear Father John, amazing as well! Truly a follower of Christ and loves our Mother Mary very much. Kodus to you, Matt and your channel!
Alleluia
This video has changed the lives of myself, my wife, and my family since we heard it only two weeks ago. God bless you both
Thank you Gabriel. Loved listening to you at St. Peter’s this past weekend. Loved hearing your testimony on this show.
“Unleashing the lion that is the teachings of the Catholic Church”--YESSS!
The teachings of MEN
This was by far one of the most heart warming and impactful conversations I have watched . God was truly glorified through this conversation . Thank you both.
YES 🙌🏻 ME2!!! ❤🎉😊🥰
We glorify God for His wonders & His faithfuness & for giving us Many helpers🙏❤️🔥✝️✅
FINALLY!! Gab is Absolutely Great❤God Bless him and protect him Always 🙏
My brother and I were super excited for this episode (ever since it was teased) and we caught the premiere, but I'm just coming back to tell you that this is now my favorite episode and both me and my brother can't wait for a sequel haha
Definitely my favorite episode ❤ thank you for sharing Gabriel.
The Rosary brought me to the church, our lady brings us to Christ!!💕
Gabriel's interview resonated with me so much. Especially how he calls the people in the teaching resources he uses his friends. When I taught middle school, I did the same thing 😅.
I was also fired from teaching a confirmation class for teaching the students how to pray the roasary and about Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mother Mary pray for us 🙏.
R u serious?!😢😢
@@kristinecarlin4925 how sad. The Smoke of Satan shall not prevail. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Jeez, you've had a lot...a lot of great guests, but this was, by far, the most special for me. Thanks. I saw your short featuring Gabi a few days ago, and something tugged at me to make sure to watch this. Now I know why. Thanks again @pintswithaquinas, and big thanks @gabiafterhours.
I love this story. I’ve heard it before, I thought about clicking off but just couldn’t. It was better this time than the last. I smiled throughout listening. God bless you both.
I absolutely LOOOOVED every moment of this video!! @gabiafterhours has changed my spiritual life COMPLETELY… so many fruits and I thank our Blessed Mother Mary for giving us her son Gabriel to lead us closer to her and her Son Jesus. I am praying for you gentlemen… keep lighting our spirituality on FIRE with love for our faith. God bless you both, and your families. Thank you 💕💕💕
"When you got a problem, Our Lady will rescue you" - She rescued me ❤
It's impossible to watch Gabi and not see his love for Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Thanks Matt for having him on your show. Love your work Gabi!
Gabi is one of the many "organs of the Church" (including Matt Frad & team) that led me to Jesus. I was born of a Muslim family as of writing this we're celebrating the end of Ramadan. Because I had a hard time trying to understand who Jesus is, I would intentionally skip praying to Jesus and go straight to Abah and in most cases, to the Holy Spirit.
And for whatever reason, I picked up the rosary and prayed nightly during my first five to six months in RCIA. It's through the rosary that it clicked who Jesus is and what He truly did for us. Not only that, I realise the role our Blessed Mother took part in the salvific history.
And so, I share the same sentiment as Gabi (58:00) especially those who do not or will not want to understand who our Blessed Mother is. But I pray for them and while they're good people, it's only through the Church that we can be like-God. Ave Christus Rex, Ave Maria!
My brother, praise God you have found the Truth who is Christ!! Please be aware there are tons of incredible Evangelical Protestant Saints through whom our Lord is happy to work miracles, many of whom are former Muslims! So I'm sure all of Heaven including our Blessed Mother is rejoicing at this. Let's not get so caught up in extreme statements and focus instead on our Oneness in Christ
Glory to God for His doing & welcome Home 🙏❤️🔥✝️✅🎉
Blessed Brothers in Our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for this glorious, powerful and heart-warming gift of a reminder of His Eternal Love and Grace 🙏💕
Took 3 days, but worth watching every minute of it.
😀😀😀😀❤❤❤🎉
I was born into our Lord's church in 1952 and had the blessing to be raised in the Extraordinary form of the Eucharist, Traditional Latin mass.
I've been praying the 4 mysteries daily for almost a year now because of Gabriel's videos.
Thank you Gabi for your work! I love your st Maria Goretti video, I send it to many people and now I’m at the airport coming back from Italy where I visited Nettuno and St Maria’s Shrine🙏 Praise be to God🙏
This was my favorite ever episode ever. God bless you both.
Once after my conversion, I wanted to see the Holy Mother so bad (I was new and naive) so I spontaneously prayed “Mama, I want to see you …but let my husband see you and I will enjoy seeing you through his eyes.” That week, I walked in to the house & hI knew something had happened to him. I asked what was wrong. My husband said “you wouldn’t believe it anyway”. I asked again. He said. I came in to our bedroom & the Holy Mother was leaning over your side of the bed. I smiled and told him my story She really hears us. Even if it’s not miraculous like this.
What a blessing! ❤️
I will start doing the same prayer daily for my husband. May his heart be pierced by her immaculate beauty 🙏🏼
Oh most beautiful and blessed mother Mary, I want to contemplate your immaculate beauty, but let Francisco see you and I will delight in seeing you through his eyes, in JESUS’s name. Amen. ❤️🔥
What a miraculous blessing. You are so blessed.
Thank you Gabriel for preaching on praying the entire Rosary. This changed my life. Love your Channel and your videos. Also your book recomendation of Life of Union With Mary was a game changer for me. Your preaching always touch my heart in a very practical way. I Can't thank you enough, because I feel that in many ways, I am who I am today spiritually because of your example. Thank you, and may the Blessed Mother protect you always.
Awesome about how you stood so firm on the rosary that if it meant you were fired from job so be it. And look at the immediate reaction from parents that got you a new job. Your life needs to be made into a movie to view on big screen theaters!!
Gabi is an incredible man, and his love for Our Lord and Our Lady shows in his dedication. Ave Maria.
With a long night of sewing costumes ahead of me, seeing this pop up on UA-cam lifted my soul. Thanks for being my sewing companions this evening and making tedious work more enjoyable.
I love sewing and I wish I could help you! God bless you. I am keeping you company in spirit!
My grandmother sewed a lot. I have many precious memories of her sewing things for me. And teaching me things in her sewing room. Cooking and sewing are a loving act for others ❤
Excellent guest. Gabriel is a wonderful witness and I appreciate him so much ❤️ 🙏🏼
This interview flew by. It was SO enjoyable. Praise God! So many books to read now.
Wish more Catholics would watch this video.
I absolutely loved every minute of the discussion.
Can't wait to watch it. Gabi has wonderful way with words
I received my conversion before the blessed sacrament and I felt a huge need to learn the rosary to love Mary and I asked her to help me, since 2018 I’ve been praying the rosary daily but 2024 praying the rosary became hard, I wasn’t praying it daily, I couldn’t even finish one rosary. Sunday before holy Monday while meal prepping I found myself watching a video of Gabe on praying the whole rosary and these kids testifying to how much praying the whole rosary changed their lives, so I said for Holy Week I will pray the whole rosary for you Lord, I asked Mary to help me pray all 4 mysteries daily, haven’t stopped since, the moment I try to make excuses to not pray the rosary I feel this deep emptiness in my heart that goes away immediately once I start praying the rosary. God bless you both Matt and Gabe, I hope to meet you both some day. Don’t stop praying the rosary! 🙏🏻✝️❤️
I had something similar when trying to pray Rosary… I got real dizzy and felt like I wanted to pass out. Never told anyone about this.. thank you for sharing🙏🏻
Love to hear Gabriel not backing down in his Catholicism! His videos have convinced me of the fruits of praying the entire rosary daily, and I am currently preparing for Marian Consecration thanks to his videos on the topic.
This was such a fantastic interview!
I just drove across Washington State listening to this interview (usually I am praying but this just grabbed me and would not let go). Excellent conversation and hosting Matt. Going to Poland and Auschwitz in September. Will watch the documentary on St. Maximilian Kolbe. 🙏
Praise God for this beautiful testimony. It brought me to tears. What a blessing!
Am watching this for the 3rd time(a little slower at almost 80!) Sent to many!Love Gabby! Inspired more each time!
He looks a lot like Dude Dad to me. Gabi's energy reminds me of Father Mike. He is on fire. I had barely heard of him before, but what a fantastic witness. He is spot on with expanding use and presence of Catholicism in media.
He is nothing like father Mike except in their zeal for God and the Church
@catholicconvert2119 Umm, yeah, that. Not sure what else that comment would mean.
@@kristinwannemuehler9757 I was just surprised you connected them because how different they are
I love “dude dad”, I know what you mean, yea! Nice to see someone else who knows ❤ Good reminder for us to pray for “Dude Dad” and his family 🙏🏻
