@@michaelfleming213 1 Corinthians 14I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16Therefore I urge you, be imitators of me. 17For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord Here Paul calls himself a father to the Corinthians and to Timothy Either Paul is disobedient or you take things out of context.
@@michaelfleming213 Please remember, words have different meanings. In English, father has a few meanings - to paraphrase a few of them. Father - 1. A male who has children 2. A title of honor 3. A leader and 3. a male who created or founded something. Like the founding fathers
I have heard your testimonial before and it makes me cry with JOY and gratitude to GOD to have you drawing with beautiful truth SOULS to our LORD AND SAVIOUR who gives and gave so much for us Thank you Father I pray for you and your continuation of the wonderful messages 🙏
Thank You very much Rev Father Edward (Ed) Meeks • many many Thanks for giving the Catholic Faith believer follower to accept You again Blessings ! Blessings to You and All your Loved Ones The Family ...... fm Singapore paul chong your follower ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Once more Father, your Words are Edifying and Truthful. My Sad Regret is; Who will hear them. My Prayer is many Ears will hear and be activated to act on them. May God Bless and keep you and your Family safe from all Harm. 🕊🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊❤️
All Glory to God for the ministry He gives you to continue to shepherd and catechize. As you describe the Holy Spirit brings to mind a few things, “our silence is deafening”. The fable, “If you plunge them into boiling water they'll immediately jump out. But if you place them into room temperature water and slowly heat it to boiling, the frog won't notice and will slowly cook to death.” Lastly, Fr. Billy Kosko in his homily “decrying pro abortion Catholics” he says, “it’s snowing” as many on the bus trip to krakow couldn’t believe that “society” would allow this to happen (the atrocious incineration of Jews causing it to seemingly snow in summer) but “civilized society” allows the mass murder of millions of innocent babies in their mothers womb. Lord have mercy. Fr. Meeks, I pray daily for the conviction of doing what’s right and just. Asking God for an abiding will. “If we are not a part of the solution; then we are part of the problem.” I pray that we by the love for Jesus Christ and His Divine Mercy that we wake up each morning in thanksgiving putting on the Armor of God (Rosary in hand) ready for the Good Fight of His Greater Glory and Majesty. By God’s Grace may it be so. Amen.
God bless you Father. Thank you for your enlightening talks. You are the encouragement and truth that we need today. I look forward to your talk each week. God needs you in His army.
Great message. I once mentioned to a friend who is a bit of an agnostic, definitely not a Christian, that we are in a sense hard-wired to believe in God and crave a relationship with Him and even those who reject God seek out someone or something to satisfy that need. Well, that resulted in a rather heated exchange. I mention this because people are not only willing to accept lies, they often prefer them. This is not some new revelation. Plato wrote about this thousands of years ago in his Allegory of the Cave. When I was an undergrad I took a course in astronomy. We studied the origin of the universe and I was told that, at least at that time, theoretical physicists had determined that particles and elements emanating from the Big Bang had traveled faster than the speed of light, a phenomena they called hyper-inflation. Now, why did they believe the universe broke it's own speed limit, something that had been deemed a cosmological constant? Because they needed it to make their theoretical model model work. Just like there are many willing to accept the idea that there are multiple universes out there, we just can't see them. Why? It fits in with the rest of their theories. Now, they have no proof that the multi-verse theory or hyper-inflation are correct, but some are so wedded to the idea that science must prevail over religion that they will accept those notions as they scoff at the idea of a Creator, dismissing it as superstitious nonsense from an age less enlightened than the one they believe they have created. And why did the FBI identify the Catholic Church in particular as a potential enemy of the state? Because it poses the greatest threat to their plans for a better world based on secular principles. I'm not saying all Protestant churches are more in-line with the post-modernist agenda or that all Catholic parishes are beacons of virtue in a world getting crazier by the minute, but the Catholic Church has always been a target of authoritarian regimes and dictators. A simple examination of Stalin's takeover of Eastern Europe in the aftermath of WWII reveals that. And what kept resistance alive in places like Poland and Czechoslovakia once the state became supreme? The underground churches, many of which were started and led by Catholic Priests. Modern-day wannabe rulers who are striving for a one-world government, or at least consolidated power in the West certainly understand the threat, so does their spiritual father who has fought the battle against God for our souls for a very long time. And since we are prone to believe lies, and often prefer them, that leaves us in a precarious position. Stay strong. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you strength and trust in God. Believe the words of Christ, not his archrival. The times will only get worse before they get better. As Father Meeks says, gird your loins, we are on the front-line whether want to be or not. A time for choosing.
In the middle of January 2024, I and 50 plus people are going on a tour organised by a priest. My first pilgrimage! We will be going to Rome, Assisi, Rotondo, Milan, Fatima, Paris, Lourdes, and many more places. 18 days. I am very excited. How wonderful you are able to travel so often. 👍😁 Peace be with you and keep safe during these uncertain times. 🙏🏻💕🤗
@@sharonthompson8061 Sharon thank you ! Also you have a beautiful pilgrimage. Take it all in and plan return visits. Sacrifice things here to travel there. A lifetime is not enough andRome is our second home now . Just there in Nov and went to Abbazia delle Tre Fontaine in Rome where St. Paul was beheaded AD 66. He’s buried in St. Paul’s Outside the ancient Aurelian walls. At some point do the SCAVI under St. Peter’s look it up . We’ve done it 3 times. Takes about 50 minutes and it’s life changing. You go right to St. Peter’s tomb !!! We could be guides in rome. Feel free to write to us anytime. Good luck in 2024 !
Amen Fr Meeks I pray for you and for the Perseverance of My brothers and sisters to hold close to the truth of Jesus Christ and His church handed down through the apostles. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
They are still married and have grown children, as well as grandchildren. It is unusual, but Pope Benedict allowed this, for which Fr. Meeks is grateful. Should his wife predecease him, he cannot marry again.
I love Fr.Meeks...he speaks the truth...always..😊
Sincere thanks fr. Meeks for your weekly podcast. Always inspiring & encouraging. God bless you from Ireland.
So very inspiring, a beautiful conversion. Thank you for sharing Father. May Almighty God continue to bless and keep you.
God bless you Fr Meeks 🙏 thank you!
God Bless you Fr Meeks for your efforts to continue your teachings of the Church, even in your pastoral retirement 🙏🏻🕊✝️🕊🙏🏻
Dear father, another beautiful message,nourishing us in truth, God bless you and your family.
Father , your encouragement and clarity is much needed as we face an increasing crisis in the Church and a world aflame in evil. God bless.

An extraordinary journey of a great man. An extraordinary priest who was called back by Jesus Christ. There's no doubt. He keeps me going.
Excellent talk Father. Thank you Jesus for bringing this priest back into the true Church. 🙏Louise. Australia
Thank you Fr. I look forward to these.
Thank you for helping us learn and seek the truth in an understanding and loving way. God bless you Father.
We go to Rome 2 times every year. ! 32 times now and counting. Fr. Meeks is spot on about Rome !!!! Every non Catholic must go there

Well said Father
But yet we hear none of this in our church.
As always, you are a great companion on the journey home. Thank you Father Ed.
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Did he, or did he not say he was married while outside the Church proper?
Then reinstated back into Catholic Church?
What happened to his wife??
They are still married and have grown children, as well as grandchildren. It is unusual, but Pope Benedict allowed this, for which Fr. Meeks is grateful. Should his wife predecease him, he cannot marry again.

We are so blessed to have Fr Meeks explain the scriptures and encourage our faith to be stronger.

@@sharonthompson8061 We really are!
Very good father. However, I believe that all this is the result of this dirailed from the Truth papacy of Borgolio.
