- In the sixth century, Irish monk Columbanus and his disciples established over one hundred centres of scholarship and spirituality throughout a European continent that was divided after the fall of the Roman Empire. A missionary and an outsider from Ireland, he built the monasteries which became Europe's first universities, established a writing system, and risked his life when he demanded leadership from kings and even popes.This beautifully shot investigative documentary travels in Columbanus’ footsteps through Ireland, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, uncovering his remarkable legacy and its relevance to contemporary Europe.

When I was a child I was raised Protestant. My Grandmother from Austria sent me to a Catholic Church in summer . I was put in the care of an old man named Father Burger. He was a good teacher he had this ability to love. I am 75 yrs and that priest touch my heart and soul for love of Jesus and mankind.🤗🇺🇸
Thank you. Some really good priests out there.
,Bravo , benvenuto tra noi cattolici , grandissimo e che Gesu' ti benedica !
I was taught by nuns all my life. First, Sisters of Mercy-with habits all in black; and then by Daughters of the Holy Spirit (in boarding school) and they were all in white. Though I am your age now, I remember each one and how kind and loving they were.
My priest was also Father Burger. Father Ham Burger showed me everything I know. Saucy.
Every Christian, and secular European , ought to observe that quoting the Bible is becoming a crime. Still, as it is written : JOHN 8: 31 "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
A fascinating documentary narrated by Mary McAleese, former President of Ireland
Columbanus, the courageous Irish outsider who arrived in continental Europe when it was fractured by tribalism and religious dispute.
I do not see eye to eye with Mary McAleese on some of the moral issues of our time (nor would Columbanus) but this is a much-needed film.
A remarkable man way ahead of his time.
Perfect for his time: God has Good Timing, you may notice .
How sad this information is almost being kept hidden from a world.
I have been to St. Gallon and had no idea of the importance and that beautiful city.
Thank you. May this Irish monk become the force again.
"Being kept hidden"? By whom? Reptilian Illuminati? Was this just a poor choice of words, or a conspiracy theorist like all the other conspiracy theorists who seem drawn to UA-cam like moths to a flame?
Because most videos on UA-cam don't want to admit that the Catholic church has contributed a lot of good to the world. Instead they focus on conspiracy theories and the few bad apples
@@starrchild1080 few bad apples? The whole catholic church is a rotten bag of apple, i say this as a new born christian. They didnt even keep the bible basic teachings. Maybe there were some good apples, as you say. But they were also persecuted by them. Actualy i think catholicism harmed the true christian cose more then anything else. Hoewer nowadays, as the church got weaker there more and more, honest and good people there, and hope that God see, and guide them.
It’s not a secret. Lots of books about it.
@@starrchild1080 An honest assessment of the Catholic church is US and Australia makes it little more than an organised gang of homosexuals and pedophiles. In other places it might be different and in most other times it was probably different. Maybe most priests were not involved but they must have known. And they did not stand up. Just to make my views clear I do not regard homosexuality as a crime but their own church most certainly did. People are as they are; as god created them if you will.
I lived for nearly two years in the village San Colombano near Milan, named after San Colombanus, went to Bobbio because of curiosity, but I never imagined that the Story of San Colombanus was this. How wonderful, thank you so much from a wandering European soul on this earth.
The concept of unity across diverse nationalities - a very powerful one. I was not aware of such a pivotal movement in history.
Isn’t that what Christianity always represented? That’s been the case ever since the gospel was spread to/adopted by the gentles
@@thebrocialist8300 Really? So WW1 and WW" and all the other wars never happened? The Crusades? Teutonic Knights? Thirty Years War? Alternative Universe much?
@@seanmccann8368 WW1 & WW2 had nothing to do with Christianity..
The Crusades were a direct response to four centuries of continuous Islamic military conquests into Christian lands..
The Teutonic Order was formed to aid Christians on their pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to establish hospitals..
Thirty Years War was another in the long line of European Imperialist wars. While most modern commentators accept differences over religion and Imperial authority were important factors in causing the war, they argue its scope and extent were driven by the contest for European dominance between Habsburg-ruled Spain and Austria, and the French House of Bourbon. The first phase from 1618 until 1635 was primarily a civil war between German members of the Holy Roman Empire, with support from external powers. After 1635, the Empire became one theatre in a wider struggle between France, supported by Sweden, and Emperor Ferdinand III, allied with Spain. This concluded with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, whose provisions included greater autonomy within the Empire for states like Bavaria and Saxony, as well as acceptance of Dutch independence by Spain. By weakening the Habsburgs relative to France, the conflict altered the European balance of power and set the stage for the wars of Louis XIV.
Columba means Dove , means Peace...this is most important legacy of this Irish Saint....in my view....
A dove is a germ infested bird. It's symbol is Masonic. Do your research!
@@wildyblissjazzOk...Thanks for correction....So Pigeon is more suitable....
@@danicornea since you seem to have an IQ around 80, I'll help you with your challenge.
Dove according to the Roman Catholic church is the daughter of Saturn, the wife of Jupiter, the mother of mars, vulcan, bellona & juventas & represents juno taking over the Holy Spirit.
None of this will ever make sense in your fried brain. Thus your inadequacy to understand.
@@wildyblissjazz I am deeply grateful for your concern of my IQ, thanks a lot....If you are smarter than me, prove it by not insulting me....This kind of behaviour is undermining your intelect....Capisci!?
@@wildyblissjazz
Chris, you go around insulting people when you haven't a clue as to what you are talking about.
You personify the Dunning Krueger effect.
The Roman Catholic Church has no such teaching.
Ignoramus.
Many thanks for this video....A true actual lesson for everyone in Europe and beyond...I respect Ireland & Irish Nation a lot...Columbanus...The Peace Pigeon...
An Excellent Program... I do my Best to Follow History and had Never Even Heard of this Great Man. Thanks for Sharing
Are you the guy who helps Muslims to faith in Christ, Jesus?
Surprisingly never heard of this guy, thanks for uploading!
I hadn't either. Not until I moved to Ireland.
@@amandabeaty1492 He is part of the culture of Ireland. I think this culture is possibly being lost in our brave new world ..
@@emcc8598 Maybe I'm an exception but I learned so much about the history of Ireland when I lived there. I know more about the history of Ireland than I do about my own country. I don't think the culture is lost in Ireland. But maybe that's just because I come from a place with no culture whatsoever.
He is well known amongst people of Irish heritage.
Great documentary and intro to Columbanus. Seems like a person worth knowing about whether your religious or non-religious!
Fascinating. Makes one proud to be Irish. But at the end, Pres McAleese blends religion and politics and misreads the one in service of the other. This, along with a muddled and confused understanding of the evolution of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession) puts some little bumps in the journey. Watching, my leg muscles and flat feet got achy even as my Irish heritage got stronger. All in all, not bad.
I did not know who the narrator was until reading comments, but I was having similar questions about McAleese's interpretations and conclusions. The man's fervor for spreading the Love of Christ, The Gospel, and building the integrity of His Church was clearly Colombanus' motivation, not just sharing intellectual gifts to unify diverse peoples.
There is hardly one leader anywhere that one can trust. They virtually all stink to high heaven. One exception is Archbishop Vigano . And there is one contemporary holy woman who promotes Mary the Moher of Salvation. These two are of vast importance How lovely is this Irish woman narrating this documentary I owe nearly everything to Ireland and its saints.
The continent isn't struggling with the diversity of its own people. It is struggling with a large group from completely separate culture coming en mass
Spot on! You cannot co-exist with a people who are deeply rooted in a "faith" whose stated goal is subjugation of all on Earth.
In the US, at one time, there may have been some struggle with a large group of Irish, viewed as a completely separate culture then, though striving to assimilate. One suspects they may have brought some of St. Columbanus with them.
@@daneaxe6465 Just like christianity then?
The irish monks did a tremendous endeavor to preserve greek& latin culture in dark ages of western Europe... they went to Alexandria in Egypt to the biggest library in the known world and bring back to Europe classical works from antiquity....
The Library of Alexandria was destroyed before 300. Monastic establishments arose in Ireland in the sixth century. What you suggest doesn't ad up.
@@TrudeHell are you sure? i thought it went up w the arival of the mohamedans maybe aD 675? burn baby Burn. shshsh a secret.
@@TrudeHell Indeed..the Library was destroyed, long before irish monks journeys to Egipt...Still they found enough ancient works in Sinai first christian monastery Saint Catherine in the second part of 6 th century ad.That library hostes more than 3000 ancient greek , siriac, arab manuscripts with all ancient culture preserved .So I think I am not so wrong about the issue....
@@TrudeHell That Monastery in Sinai Saint Ecaterina which is greek ortodox one was partially financec by romanian rules of Modovia and Valachia principalilties in late 16 th century .
More books in one library of Muslim Spain than all of Europe combine. Europeans tends to try to avoid these facts. Muslims saved our culture. They are haveing there dark ages now.
Very interesting. I'm proud to be part Irish.
Sono italiana fiera di esserlo ma ho sempre stimato e amato la cultura irlandese , ricordo la storia potente di Bobby Sands !
As a American viewing this awesome presentation of the old world Europe and the building of Christianity.
Many "attractive" people remove themselves from the world to pursue a monastic life. Another example would be American nun Doris Hart who starred in the first Elvis Presley movies....Do looks have to do with a person's love and devotion to God? I think not.
Very well presented historical record of Columbanus. Beautifully filmed.
However, I disagree with the illustration of modern globalism encouraging a better life for all. The Ancient Roman ideology of totalitarian rule, agreement or banishment, mastery or slavery, is more a mirror of modern techno globalism. Globalism does not encourage diversity of culture, systems and ideas. It favors control, monopolies, totalitarianism. I think techno globalism has done more to destroy spiritual life, inner peace, individuality of thought, and intellectual curiosity than any other development in history.
It will take tremendous courage today for leaders to askew materialism, global totalitarian system, moral duplicity we face.
This documentary is even worse than that. St. Columbanus would tear out his hair to watch this because it doesn’t even mention the gospel that he was following and endeavoring to spread throughout the world. They refuse to mention the name of Jesus whom Columbanus loved and followed. Jesus is the reason he did everything he did. This piece is an effort to brainwash people.
@@ruthmaryrose You are so right Ruth. Very good analysis of the post modern propaganda we are all dealing with in a godless, materialist marxist based world.
Finally, someone else noticed it, too. It’s definitely not made from a Christian worldview.
@@connornicholas8628 It’s all part of the plan to destroy the Christian faith. They acknowledge the great things Columbanus did but conveniently forget to mention that he was relying on God to give him the strength he needed.
@@ruthmaryrose In the first few minutes, I knew this was "woke" oriented. I watched it to learn a bit more of Columbanus. I knew of him already. How can you separate the man from his faith in God? These globalists gave it their best try.
What a wonderful presentation! The point is so clearly made of how the building blocks upon which we stand in this day were lain by someone with such courage, determination, depth of character and faith. St. Columbanus' love of the world echoes what I know of other reformers whose personal quests brought change on the global level. I hope that my humble prayers of gratitude might reflect the awe I feel at this moment in the knowledge of the life of this amazing person. Just think of what one person can do!
I guess it all depends on what "reformers" you speak of. If any coming from the school of Calvin, Luther or Zwingli, or their descendants, then definitely not change that was good, as the modern world, steeped in the chaos and corruption and filth that it is today, comes from the protestant de-formation.
Mary McAleese makes some good points. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, the European Union doesn't seem much in favor of diversity, wanting to homogenize people according to leftist and even woke principles.
EU structures are infested with Commies and they hate Christianity
I believe we still have incredible Christians today that have those same qualities, but not the ones we see on tv. During the Dark Ages not all Priests we’re corrupt! The Catholic Church kept the Baptism of the Holy Spirit alive and gave him to believers!🤗🇺🇸
My uncle is a Catholic priest and he runs a soup kitchen, taught himself braille so he could teach bible classes to the blind, runs a club for senior citizens once a week where they can get a hot meal and socialize, he puts on a Christmas dinner every year for anyone with nowhere else to go with presents, games, carols etc and every winter he opens up the church hall for the homeless to sleep at night
@@starrchild1080 unsung Hero🤗
@@starrchild1080 Great priest, your uncle..and a model for our Catholic Church.
Please pray for us dear Saint. Amen 🙏🙏🙏🌹

Besides this being a very good documentary, I am impressed how well this lady speaks french and italian. And I love her way to present. Great documentary!
I LOVE HISTORY
Anch'io!
Thanks for the diversity training - she was straight in there giving "Africa" the credit
Seriously, that was so dumb.
No diversity training . It's all about the Irish. But the truth is Irish people knew about and probably met people from other places.
",Africa" is the roman/latin name for the ROMAN PROVINCE of the south mediterranean sea northern sahara desert - very prosperous until the arrival of the mohamedans then very poor. (Clearly so marked in red in the map shown ) i guess you did not know that. "Asia" was the area now called "Turkey", alao part of the Roman Empire -- later called Asia Minor. learning "Old Geography" is a great idea. i cringe when i hear "turkish ruins", or even "palestinian ruins" gimme a Break how misleading. ( ps secret: that is why the arab "palestinians" Freak at archeological digs in Judea and Original Israel -- truth is to be Destroyed . unless some palestinian can illegally sell antiquities on the black market. don't fret though - unless you wanna learn Why egypt don' welcome them . . . : antiquities . btwi "Palestina" is actually Also a Roman name: they Really got pissed at the jews! palestina is an ancient area in syria - and the syrians don' wanna use that name . . .
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 Yes, I did know - Africa Proconsularis . She did not put it into the context of a province and made like the continent
Ex Irish president to tell this story! This deserves to be taught in schools I barely heard a mention of Columbanus during school
I learned about Columbanus in primary school. Did you go to school in Ireland? If so, maybe you were there later than me, I was in primary school from 82 to 89?
St. Columban and St. Francis have much in common in their way of thinking.

Saint Patrick arrived in Ireland in the fourth century. He survived and converted most of the population.

Having spent some time on Iona I have wondered about this man. This video has gone a long way to answering my questions. Very informative and deeply inspiring. A beautifully presented piece of work. Thank you.
Confusingly this man is Columbanus, who is different from Columba of Iona who evangelized Scotland. I also thought they were the same until I looked it up.
Hilarious 😂 pro gay, pro same sex union, pro women priest Mary MacAlese calls for the most orthodox of medieval monk's to return 🤣
I don’t think you were listening.
@@bcent5758
I heard her just fine Barbara, she clearly said we could do with St.Columbanus returning today.
As long as he doesn't insist on remaining True to the Gospel and Orthodoxy!
The globalism is a bit much in this one. And there’s a distinct lack of Christianity, too.
You forgot Alban or Scotland he is still well celebrated here!
Irish hermits made it to innis tile (Iceland) Faroes, did they make it to Tir nan Og, North America the continent is full of Ogham.
The Irish became masters of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, they absorbed knowledge from all around Mediterranean culture, became the greatest Mathematicians in the world.
Her: Did they actually do anything with this knowledge?
They invented spaces between words.
I appreciate the humor in your comment. It was probably a poor editing choice to pair those two comments. They revitalized literacy in Europe in more ways than by inventing spaces on the page.
I like the part about Columbanus bringing a freer idea of forgiveness, something that wouldn't have caught on except with a very rigorous intellectual and spiritual defense, drawing on his mastery of all the relevant texts and commentary.
Concerning her little lament that Columbanus is all but forgotten in Ireland, there is none other to blame than the Catholic clergy, presuming to hold the keys to the kingdom while neither entering themselves nor allowing others to enter. My sources are Frank McCourt and Dylan Moran.
Spaces between words had a monumental effect on the modern world, permitting things like this comment section to exist. Words without breaks are read only slowly, and essentially have to be read aloud. In the ancient days when scribes were at work you would hear them all speaking out the words they were copying because that's the only way to make sense of the stream of letters.
You forgot to mention that another Irishman James Joyce put words back together in parts of Ulysses. The term given to this was called "streams of consciousness".
Seriously though putting appropriate spaces between words, making sentences, etc was an enormous achievement in writing both as a presentation skill, and as a communication tool.

He was awesome ! This is magnificent , thankyou x
Wish this lady would lighten up
I wouldn’t say I believe but I wouldn’t say I don’t either, but I love what he stood for, he was a man ahead of his time and for that I can respect what he believed. Being from NI, I know his name but not very much about him, which is such a shame, I didn’t know about him being in Bangor. Sometime I forget how fascinating our history can be.
Harmony and diversity. We still strive for this in the world today. Thank you, Columbanus for your gift, way beyond your time.
Columbanus = love and forgiveness… very strong message..
I love these documentaries!! Soo good!
This documentary is wonderful!!! God be blessed and exalted for Saint Colombano's life of courage and example of faith!!!
Thanks for this insightful program!
Fascinating. I'm in the middle of a business proposal & this has inspired me beyond measure. Many thanks!
Have read all about this amazing man. Now it is good to watch a great film about him to refresh my memory on him! Thankyou!
A fascinating documentary about a monk I knew next to nothing about! Thank you for enlightening me.
Interesting and thorough. Precious history that deserves to be remembered better. Thank you
Great man. Great documentary 👏
Great video 😃❤️

I'm interested in the History of Columbanus and found the video very useful, subscribed!
Nice delivery and pleasant travels..reforest the lands !!
This was fascinating and my little treat was that he was pro European believing in harmony in diversity.
As a devout follower of Christ, he would - but not at the cost of canceling the Commandments and Tenets of Christ's Church.
great timing and remarkable man
Excellent presentation
What a cool video.... 1000 years before the medieval era. As stated, the story is relevant today.
What are you talking about? He was slap dab in the beginning of the early medieval period..whole of the medieval period, generally speaking..500-1500AD
Ughhh did you have to start of with “Europeans are bad we killed people sorry!” Just to have a positive discussion about its history?
We should all learn from this man ! Here or not he has Gods view of our world and how we should be , embracing our fellow humans for our differences. Amen 🙏🏼
He is describing the Orthodox religion
Wow, Cannot believe I have never heard of Colambanus! The vast amount of history I have learned from this channel and some others has been
really eye opening!
Great Work. I think we need to hear about Iona and Lindasfarne and Dinooth....
Love this.. :}
"He came from the *only* country in Western Europe to stay outside of the Roman Empire" 3:20 - just after showing a map where Scotland is and talking about the wall of Hadrian. And also leaving out the whole of Scandinavia and Iceland. That is really bad geography and history for ya.
As often happens when they try to shoehorn their social engineering into the narrative.
They don’t count
It is rather silly to not count what impacted both Ireland and Europe,@@AnnhilateTheNihilist.
But I guess closing ones eyes to Scandinavia is what enabled the Vikings to do what they did a bit later. Silly southerners.
@@TrudeHell they’re basically provinces… hardly countries.
Yeah....And, all the claims of enclosing all diversity sure got lost along the way with innumerable inquisitions and crusades. Diversity was then damned and hunted down and extinguished wherever possible, often by the very descendants of the ideologues represented here. The four hundred years of religious wars since Hus were hardly an exemplar of acceptance of diversity. Methinks this is merely hagiography.
Emerald island rocks. Always.
A Anam Cara a Spiritual guide is a wonderful idea. So much better than repentance in public . And I love taking retreats away from so called civilisation.
Lessi un libro su Anam Cara scritto da un sacerdote cattolico irlandese , meravigliosa calda spiritualita' di gente che amava anche Madre Terra e le sue creature .
Splendida Anam Cara 💖💛💜
I generally consider myself well informed, but had never heard of him until today. Amazing that as stated here apparently he devised the standard catholic practices of confession. Not a simple men though judging by his burial, that is the sarcophagus of a very wealthy man. Thank you.
Or well loved and honored by the people, a Godly man.
Just like Budha....to give up an easy life in pursuing more important things ....This is very audaxious way to get through....A good example of ancient stoicism of Epictet adapted to christianity....
I was just thinking that.
I pray that everyone in the whole world will come to believe as Columbanus did. We have come far, but we still struggle with our differences. As long as we see "different" as "bad", we will continue to fight & make the whole world miserable. May acceptance of diversity bring us unity & peace.
Amen
You pray for everyone in the world to believe like you do and Columbanus... y
So it seems you are not tolerant to differences either. You want to make all the same thinking your way of thinking is superior.
@@Boro87 I'm sorry if you feel that I'm intolerant, but I won't apologize for praying that people "agree to disagree", & work together for the peace of all. Thanks for your comment.
@@TwoMiceOnMyBookshelf And amen, friend! Thanks for your comment.
My daily prayer!
it is extremely egregious to apply the culturally marxist idea of diversity to Columbanus' teachings. the very last thing he would've advocated for is a miscegenated Europe.
Rubbish. The race ideas you've allowed yourself to get polluted by hadn't even occurred to people then. Founding fathers of Christianity were of various colours, mostly shades of brown. As for "marxist ideas of diversity", have you ever even read any Marx? Just the pamphlet, "Socialism, Scientific and Utopean" maybe? If you had you would know that the kind of social democratic/liberal ideas that Far Right nutters call Marxism were what Marx denounced as utopean unreality. Marxism is a moribund, discredited 20th Century idealogy. Humanism (of the type espoused by, say, the French revolutionaries) that starts off with an assumption that people should have equal rights is far older and has outlasted it - and libersal humanism will see your lot off too, as it did between '39 and '45.
This monk faith and lifestyle is EXACTLY what moderns need. More modern people (and it will continue to increase) are alone and there is a current loneliness and mental anguish epidemic, not to mention drug abuse particularly amongst the young. They need to study this for monastic life tips and apply to the modern secularist world.
"Geniuses never pass. They just act deceased"
Columbanus preached that unity in God’s Church transcends nationality. The EU preaches unity as a European transcends nationality. It’s not the same.
“Columbanus was never shy in asserting his Irishness, differences of nationality and ethnic origin but for him, these differences were subordinate to the collective unity that comes with faith in Christ: ‘Fathers, pray for us as we also do for you, wretched though we be and refuse to consider us estranged from you; for we are fellow members of one body, whether Franks or Britons or Irish or whatever our race may be’ (Letter II, 9).
For Columbanus and for the early Church, there is but one mission entrusted to the Church of Christ - to ‘go teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit’ (Matt. 28:19-20). The mission of the Church is to gather people of all nations into community and into communion with the one Lord. The unity of God’s Church transcends all distinctions”.
9:00 Wait, what does Africa have to do with this?
It seems to be a reference to the Desert Fathers like St Anthony the Abbot. Egypt would have been a better description than Africa for sure.

@@kafon6368 Der Stern magazine quotes Merkel. "Desantis next American president"
I think she put a spin on theology at the end. She left out God, which is the basis. Just saying.
Europe conquered the world but failed to conquer itself, since 1945 to 1998 Europe lost her sovereignty all important decisions were made in Washington and Moscow.
The real Columbanus is the Saint. He is Catholic, He did miracles. Call him Saint Columban. This is the problem of European. They think they can preserve their culture without Chrurch Teachings.
Correction. The Catholic Church did not exist in his time. He was orthodox linked to the east.
This documentary taught me that there was a Columbanus people in Ireland. One of them was named ‘Columbanus.’ He discovered America (he named it ‘Columbanus’ - in homage to the Columbanus people) in the Year of Our Columbanus, 492. His son, Columbanus, carried the Columbanus tradition forward until the Columbanus people were finally recognized and freed.
12:06 - Sounds like being an archaeology doctoral student...
1:21 - that’s gotta be a record for noping out due to intolerably heavy narrative service.
Me too! They constantly ruin things that would otherwise be great. I gave it a thumbs down and turned it off
Wow all the way through and not a mention of The One true Faith in CHRIST as the source of his ideas what a joke not a single reference of Jesus Christ or Orthodoxy
The production value of this documentary is fantastic..this may be a stupid question, but who made this/these documentary(ies)..this is the first one I've watched..is it from people from this channel or somewhere else?..It really is great!
where did columbanus' ideas come from? from within.
From Christ to whom Colombanus devoted all his life and being
From the Church, via Christ
Got some nice cars for this documentary
You suggesting a bonfire of the vanities, Savonarola?
Lots of connotations to St. Paul
Europe is calling their countries states now?
Europa had wrongly done with the current borders,as they do not represent any singularity,just a mere forced and repressive unification that makes no sense.
Europe is based on regions, no longer in countries,because democracy have to keep developing and countries are just the opposite.
I enjoyed and appreciate the work into digging deeply into the life and works of St. Colombanus. It seems to me, though, that "the key" to his relentless motivation must have been that of Sts Peter & Paul: zealous love of Christ which propelled him to use his God-given talents to spread that love with all others and growing The Body of Christ among all nations. St. Colombanus, pray for the Peace of Christ among all peoples.
Not a bad response, William. But the saints now dead are beyond our praying. Should we pray only to Jesus himself?
@@joeboudreault2226 if you’re not a Christian, I can understand your question re Saints beyond our prayers once dead. But Christians know our souls are eternal, go to Heaven or Hell after this earthly life, and will be reunited w our resurrected bodies at the End of Time. Souls in Heaven are our Family who, with God’s Grace are aware of us & can hear our prayers & go before Our Lord to petition for us. I’ll pray for you, & I ask you to pray for me. We are doing our duties within the Body of Christ to pray for each other. Those in Heaven are still on active duty - thanks be to God.
@@joeboudreault2226 of course, anyone should pray directly to Jesus - as well as to the Father and to the Holy Spirit. If one is Christian, with any desire of faith, it is imperative to pray to God directly. But this does not exclude the value of asking friends to help with their positions of ‘influence’ in Heaven, and some ‘guidance’ they might share. The Saints in Heaven and our Guardian Angels are active in our lives!
@@williamgibson2760 No.
Only Jesus is able to intercede for us (John 14:6). The Holy Spirit may help us and interpret our prayers(He's part of the godhead). But the saints in heaven? No. Get familiar with your scriptures, forget the traditions of man. May God bless you that way.
@@williamgibson2760 William, I have been a born again Christian for almost 40 years. As I said in my previous answer: our prayers are only through Christ, who died fir us. All the saints in heaven are eternally out of reach. All prayers go to the Father, through Jesus. No other way. You are correct only on the first part of tour reply here not the latter part.There is a barrier fixed. Luke 16:27-31.
I first became aware of columbanis from reading the sister fidelma books by Peter Tremaine also known as Peter Beresford Ellis.
Amazing! I have heard the story before but never knew his name, now I do! Rip columbannis!🇨🇦
Ireland was actually highly literate during the Dark Ages (or at least it's monks were) to the point where they were not only literate in Latin and Greek, but also in their native language and did a decent job recording ancient pagan stories (if only in a somewhat Christianized form).
Saint always been about preventing the chaos of war and death
I very much like Columbanos.
An interesting documentary spoiled by degenerating to the blatant politics of the narrator .
I GUARANTEE you that the current anti God, anti Christian values EU was NOT what Colombanus had in mind.
Has he told you this or do you just 'KNOW'?
He appeared to me and told me himself of course!!!! DUH!
@@archangelliii2536 That's great, I always respect those whose delusions are truly deluded.
in vedanta he would be understood as clearly God-empowered. not a regular guy . . . a tremendous Mission Columban carried through. and of course his friends also. notice St Patrick was Not Once mentioned.
St. Patrick was a gentleman
He came from dacent people,
