Fr Daniel Reehil - A Wall Street banker who became a Catholic priest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Enjoying the lifestyle of a successful banker on Wall Street, Daniel was renting a house in Amalfi, Italy for the summer. When a friend expressed a desire to visit Medjugorje, a place of Our Lady’s apparitions just across the Adriatic Sea, Daniel decided to accompany her. Despite the privileges and luxuries of his job, Daniel had, over the years, become very unhappy. He had started having nightmares which ultimately lead to months long insomnia. After a full nights sleep in Medjugorje Daniel woke up with a tremendous sense of goodness. He says the word peace is not enough to describe the feeling he had. That day he sought out a preist who would hear his confession after 20 years way from the Catholic Church. In this Fruits of Medjugorje video, Fr Daniel gives his testimony of conversion and his journey to priesthood. #testimonies #fruitsofmedjugorje #medjugorje #testimony
I was raised Mormon. By mid-teens, I stopped attending. Up until 2019 no thought of going to church, but always kept thoughts of my Lord Jesus. I had a few angry explosions where I yelled at God (smh) & when calmed down, apologized greatly. He' my God. The last quarter of 2019 with a coworker, I started asking questions, as she was Catholic. I got curious and went to see the beautiful St John's Cathedral in Boise. And my Lord welcomed me. I was there for the architecture - or so I thought. Every time I tried to leave, something would catch my eye and I'd remain a few minutes more. Then it dawned on me as I saw people, that there was a Mass coming up, so I sat down. Jesus kept me there, to watch in complete awe the beauty of the Mass. I began crying at the Holy Sacrament, my heart breaking as the priest broke the bread and said 'Take this, all of you...' I became a Catholic Easter 2021. And now pray for my son' conversion, his children and my mother, sisters, & brother. It's been amazing. The anger I lashed out to God no longer is there. I get angry, but it's followed with His quiet touch to breathe and give Him the problem. He can handle it better than I can or ever could.
Beautiful well said you had great humility!
Very good, lovely to hear my friend. I love the big man and need to praise him
I am very much like you my friend. I was raised a JW but stopped attending at 16 as I believe a lot of young JWs do. I love the JWs and have never resented them even tho a few of my family do. Now I am 45 and realise I need to get back as you know when you have found something honest, pure and clean. I respect anything related to the big man. Really interesting video this and I want to understand all aspects of religion, good and bad. ❤️😊
God is great. What a wonderful testimony
This is beautiful brother, God bless you and your family.
To hear God's voice calling you, then quitting your job two days later - that's faith! I could listen to Father Reehil for hours.
*To the person reading this, may God take care of you, enlighten you and may God bless you and your family for life and eternity*
@thegiftsofgod Thank you! The same Blessing i pray God Bless you & your family with, Amen!🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Amen.
The same to you and your loved ones.
Amen and thank you. May our blessed Lord bless you and your family abundantly.🙏🏼🌹🙏🏼
Amen
I’m not Catholic, but Fr Daniel illustrates the faith with such depth and beauty - I can better see now the true intention of the Catholic faith
I invite you to get to know the Catholic faith with, Steve Ray, Scott Hahn, Catholic Anwers, Kieth Nester, Bishop Fulton Sheen, and Bishop Barrón, Deecon Alex Jones, father Donald Coloway, and many more, and you will find the truth. 1 Timothy 3,15 The church has the truth, but the only one founded al most 2,000. Years. May God bless you and your family.
@@denisealfaro915 Fantastic choices. I second all of these!
@@denisealfaro915 Barron told Dave Rubin or Ben Shapiro (think it was Shapiro) that Christ is the 'privileged' way. He also came up with the clownish 'Dare we hope that all men be saved?' But if he opposes Bergoglio's satanic attack on the TLM, I'll give him credit where it is due.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Bishop Fulton Sheen! Yes! He might be from the 50’s & 60’s but he’s a prophet for sure & a saint!
I am Catholic. I love listening to this man. He is very inspiring with his love for God and our Faith. God bless him!
I was raised Catholic, but became protestant at age 20. I'm 63 now. Your testimony was beautiful. I've learned more about catholicism in the last 3 years than in the first 20.
Come home to the Church Christ founded and receive the body of Christ. Enrich your Catholic parish with the gifts you have gained in your life as a Protestant.
Protestantism does not lead you to repent and believe.
Offering Mass for all Ex Caths looking to come back Home. May God's Grace abound un your lives.
Thank you for opening your heart to the Lord. I pray one day you join the fullness of faith Brother 🙏🏼
Have you considered returning to the faith?
Fr. Reehil belongs to my diocese. I’ve been told by numerous communicants in the diocese that he’s very good at his vocation. 👍🏻✝️
I'm not surprised. Glory to God.
that seems to be obvious😊
Watch the interview he did with Michael Knowles….he’s an exorcist priest…amazing interview.
@@hubari I thought I saw the youtube pic. I will surely watch it.
@@hubari I just watched that yesterday!
After suffering an extreme panic attack/existential crisis, I turned back to the Lord and I experienced exactly the peace he talks about. It's indescribable, He gave me my life back.
I don't want to be dark, but I have a similar story. Chances are you'll get more of them eventually. Just remember God will carry you through it. Our hearts find no rest until they rest in Him.
Amen!!!.. Glory be to God.. 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing
Wow, I also had a similar experience! For me my experience of severe panic attack came as a result of having been practising New Age and “inviting” things into my life that wasn’t of the good. Praise God for carrying us through those moments of experiencing darkness pushing in on us. He allows it for a reason I’m sure - it’s for the sake of our conversion, and sometimes he has to show us “where we are” spiritually, and the places where we still need to invite Jesus in, in order to make us desire greater holiness and faith. 🙏 I will pray for your continuing faith journey!
Also, reading John 14, 1-6 might be uplifting to you!
@@AylaHeimly absolutely agree. It made me realize I wasn't living for Him and that I was coveting the wrong things. God bless.
Came here after Father Daniel's podcast with Michael Knowles. His amazing! Mu heart fluttered when I heard his story of his conversion back to Christ. ❤🙏🏻
Same here😇
me too, I just watched that, well it took me twos days
Me too
Haha, same here. It took me a day!
Fr Reehil 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Please pray for my 3 sons to overcome drug, alcohol, gambling addictions, also for our deliverance in Jesus Holy Name. Amen. From Melbourne Australia.

Could listen all day to Father Reehil such a peaceful serene feeling he brings while being so grounded and worldly
Please pray for my granddaughter Lauren; she doesn't practice her faith, she has a teenage daughter, who is negatively affected by her moms lack of faith. Thank you. 🙏☘️✝️
Indeed, let us pray for each other and all families who face spiritual struggles. Amen.
Excellent witness to the vocation of the priesthood and answering God's call. Powerful!!
Please, Father, pray that my daughter and I go to Medjugore. It is a financial impossibility for us but God can do anything and will give His Mother all she asks of Him. Ask her to bestow this Grace upon us. Life is like a Perpetual wedding feast at Cana as where Our Lady never stops interceding on our behalf ‼️
If God want you there, He will take you. I’m a witness to that!
I hope you get to go to Medjugorie, God willing 🙏✝️
Hello Julie, i am living in the Netherlands. By the grace of God, I have also visited Medjugorje with my daughter and mother. Hopefully you will find a way!
@@kathycarpenito Kathy, I want to go to. Not just to visit, but to live there. This will require even grater miracle. Also my adopted name was Kathy Carpenter! Please pray for me.
@@cathyoconnor9590 Kathy Carpenter, nice name!!!! I lead the rosary each morning after mass and will offer you up in prayer each day. I’ve been to Medjugorje 3 times and the first time was under the strangest conditions ever. That’s why I say ‘ if God want you there, He’ll get you there’. The first message I heard from the Blessed Mother was ‘you didn’t come on your own, I called you’. That sent shivers up my back…………
Father, were you a lifeguard? I think we guarded together. Same high school, as well. I, too, became a priest.
Are you Todd? I remember you.
@@directorrmusa5766 yup, that’s me. Good to see you doing well. Or rather, it’s good to see you doing good.
What a beautiful story! Praise be to God for raising you up to the priesthood, Father. May He continue to bless you all your life>
Hello how are you doing?
In the name of G..d of what relevance is it to any person that this gentleman says he was a banker and now a priest?
I am so blessed to be a parishioner at this beautiful church in Tennessee, and having Father Dan as our Pastor - truly a man of God, reverent and faithful. I’m often moved to tears during Mass as I bring my failures and sadness, my wayward children, my frustrations and anger with the world as it is now, and all my “unanswered prayers” and impatience to the altar and the foot of the cross. God Bless and Mary keep you, Father … you remain in my daily prayers as Saint Faustina wrote in her Diary (1052) for protection and an increase in holiness and mercy.
Hi Karen. Can you please tell me what church you attend in Nashville with Father Daniel? I live in Knoxville & attend All Saints. I'd very much like to drive over to Nashville one weekend & attend one of his services. Thank you & God Bless!
@@redcross6963 It is actually in Columbia, south of Nashville - Saint Catherine of Siena. We live 25 miles south of Columbia… worth every mile to commute for Mass and special events. God Bless you ❤️
@@karenlombardi8242 That's good to know you sound like a good Christian and would be very delighted to know more about you. I'm from California, hope everyone there's in a safe hand of God?
Father Dan, so great to see you again. You and I were together at holy apostles for a couple of years. I’ve was ordained for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in 2015, where I remain today. I’ve been in Medjugorje twice now since ordination, and so perhaps we’ll cross paths again there. God bless your continued ministry. God be praised for your witness.
God bless you Fr. Yaksich.
I first heard about Fr Dan Reehil during an interview wirh Michael Knowles (shared by a cousin) and what he shared then was really quite interesting but I didn't know there was so much more to his conversion story, which was more interesting than about him being an exorcist. There were so many takeaways from this. Indeed, there is depth in it, and you see how God loves and calls each one personally. And how our Lady intervenes and how God uses priests as instruments for His Purpose, how He draws good out of bad experiences. .I wanted to listen more..I felt like this ended so quickly! Amazing experience
I never met a priest that became priest after being abused by a priest. In my mind this doesn't make any sense. I wish father Daniel could explain this to me. I would really like to know. His story is incredible. Need some answers as I have being going through lot of issues with my faith for years. This is a first for me. Whatever made him turned back to God it was powerful and beyond human reason.
It is called forgiveness. God freely forgives anyone who asks and we in turn do likewise .
Only with healing from our Lord. It can’t happen on a natural level without Him.
Father Dan, please pray for my brother who has also been working in a bank and has meanwhile lost his faith completely. Now, being totally immersed in the sin of fornication he also took up some addictions and doesn't want to hear from the family at all. Poor soul! Help us please set him free from the devil's claws! His name is Anthony.
Perhaps you should have some Masses said for ANTHONY? I will pray for him!
You should pray a Rosary for him every single day until you saw him to be converted.
If you can't do yourself the conversion, let God do his own thing and God will send someone who'll convert him.
Do you live in Croatia?
I agree with Connor Drake. I was saved by Mama Mary from my sinful occult and new age practices. My mother did not confront me but she prayed the rosary with dad everyday. One day, by God's grace I realized that I was living in sin and just like that I turned away from the occult. I went to confession and started praying the rosary. Also, you can use sacramentals like exorcised salt to season your food especially on family gatherings.
Pray the,7 sorrow of Mary rosary please
I am a Catholic by birth & thanks to my Mom for inculcating in me the good practices. Now that I am a Mom I am happy to have a daughter who is God fearing & never fails to do her obligations as a devoted Catholic. In our lives everything happens for a purpose & to what Fr. Reehil just shared is such an inspiration! Anything is possible with God. Just trust Him because He knows what is best for you. 🙏
Fr. Reehil, how lucky is Tennessee to have you!
We agree. Greetings from Medjugorje
What a beautiful testimony. Father Dan is so inspiring and motivational. God bless him and his ministry! May God bless all priests! ❤️🙏
Beautiful testimony, very inspiring
Every priest has a vocation story to tell but Fr. Daniel is exceptionally good in narrating the details in his journey. May God bless him more and dmore
God Almighty is always calling people for his church. Thank you father Daniel for responding to the call
This story is miracle after miracle after miracle, like many other stories. Lovely.
How can we not believe?
Thank you for sharing father.
Thank you for watching. Hello from Medjugorje
❤❤❤So happy listening to this POWERFUL grace of God in father Reehil’s life. Will pray for him!
No words we can only praise God 🙏. Beautiful conversion story of Fr Reehil. Ma Maria of Medjugorie pray for us 🙏
2 days ago, 28-Dec- 2022, I watched this video for the first time. Nothing 'blowing-away' or 'phenomenal' about it - which is probably the reason why it was so effective. Anyway, because of (nothing particular in) Fr.'s story, I decided to visit my local shrine to the Holy Mother after nearly two decades. Again, nothing phenomenal about my visit today - other than that I finally got myself my first scapular - but it did feel like a start; and of many things, praise God! I can understand how wrenching it must've been for Fr. to confront the environment in which the unthinkable happened to him... but it's miraculous that the unthinkable happens again when he not only fully returns to that environment but goes on to humbly serve it. (TAKE THAT you post-scandal Church-haters! Glory to our Father in Heaven!) Thank you Mother of Medjugorje for drawing me to you through this story and for the graces bestowed on me today at your shrine. I also thank the Holy Family (not least our beloved Papa Joseph, to whom I am especially devoted) in advance for all my intentions. I know You will all intervene in our lives, amen! And thank you Fr. Reehil - I loved your story and your delivery of it so much! Much love back to you ✝❤🌹
I love your story. It helped me realize how much being catholic and honoring God is so important
I really love to hear this Catholic Priest tell his life story. Truly inspirational in reminding people of the spiritual dimension and goodness of God.
That was an AWESOME interview! Now I have another GREAT Priest in my sites to guide me on YT. LOL, one foot in hell the other on a banana peel! Fr. Dan...thank you for your journey of making the 'catholic walk' more approachable for people like me. God bless you!
What an amazing story. God bless you Father Daniel 🙏
Fr. Reehil has such a great blessing!
God has His plan on everyone of us!
God bless all! Pray for all! 💪🙏👌
Dear Fr Reehil, I hail from the west coast of Ireland ! My initial encounter with you was on your brilliant interview with Christine Watkins; and then just now , I came across your amazing testimony! More than any shot of high octane caffeine it truly lifted my spirits!
Even though I am a lot farther down the line than you Fr Dan, Medjugorje was the real catalyst in turning my life around. God bless you !🙏📿⚓️
Thank you for this powerful testimony, Fr. Daniel. God is good ❤
Wow, what an amazing testimony. His life made a full circle. God is amazing with timing.
Respect, thank you for your time and work Father Daniel, we the people appreciate it, bless you.
Praise God! A soul saved, a blessed testimony & example of obedience.🙏🌹📿🕊☘🕯
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Fr Reehil radiates His deep faith in our Lord. I have met a few priests who like Fr Reehil display a quiet humility and totally surrender to God. That’s hard to do. I am trying to get there. I know God’s power but I also know I have little faith in myself.
Our God is Great!
Alleluia!
Amen..
Praise be His Holy Name...❣️
Too much. No words. You became priest despite all of the scandals going around in Boston and you alone being abused. And all other aspects of your journey, precious walk with Jesus, Because of testimonies -like you are- I stay catholic. Sometimes it is hard. Thank God.
All to Jesus....
How refreshing, a very approachable priest.
What an absolute joy to listen to. Thank you Jesus and Mary'🙏💖 x
God really takes us on some detours sometimes to bring us to where He wants us to be.
What an amazing journey! God bless you Father!
I wish Fr. Reehil strength and courage to carry on with the Lord's work. Over the years, I have seen real evil close up.
Wow! What a journey! Thank you Father for sharing such an important life story. It is so life affirming. God definitely has a plan for us. We just need to be open to Him to see it. God bless you!
Beautiful...🙏
I think my son will soon be following in your footsteps...rather in the footsteps of Jesus.
He is very successful in business, but it seems that he is called to the Franciscans...a little more time will tell...
Patience and listening and obedience..and prayer...🙏
Beautiful story, I wish my son would go back to our Catholic faith, I have been praying for him for a long time and I am scared that I would pass away without seeing him back in the church.
Have faith! Nothing is too hard for the Lord.
Say this FAITH AFFIRMATIONS
VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Say it on your Rosary everyday
Also listen to Logos Healing Adoration Deliverence n Anointing from Bangalore Karnataka India...very powerful..n very miraculous
ABBA FATHER THY WILL BE DONE
MOTHER Mary beseech Your Son JESUS
For d fulfillment of all our intentions
AMEN Hallelujah Ave Maria 🙏🏻
Keep praying for your son as am I for my son to comeback to the faith .May our Good Lord Bless you !🙏
What a amazing story Father. God is InCharge of everything isn't He Father? I pray for all the priests every day. Because Mother Mary told us so.
Amazing testimony may God bless you richly Father Daniel
Thank-you for sharing, it was 17 minutes of heaven.x
God truly works in mysterious ways. Father please include my brother in your prayers. Ty. God bless.
I have never been to medjugorje. I hear so many people having beautiful experiences. Maybe one of these days my husband & I can go there on a pilgrimage with you, Fr. Dan!
This wonderful testimony of guidance of the Blessed Virgin and the Holy Spirit.. God making althings good..
Oh Father, I hope that you will see my message.
I pray that God will allow our paths to cross one day. I truly believe that you could help me draw closer to God. You are the most amazing and humble priest.
We love Fr. Daniel!!
Maria Rosa Mystica Bless and protect our priests.
Thank you for your ministry!
God bless you richly ~
Amen and AMEN!
What an astoundingly beautiful and profound testimony. Thank You, God, thank You Mother for the immense gift of converting the hearts of Your children and forming them as our shepherds. Blessed be the Divine Will forever.
To be Catholic is the greatest treasure, the greatest of all treasures to know.That we received the glorified body of Jesus Christ.It's an inspiration to listen to this priest.God bless him.We must pray for holy holy holy priest and for the priest that are heading against the church also
What a great testimony! Thank-you for sharing about yourself Father. It gives us hope that God will continue to give us good priests!
Praise God for moving in your life! God is good!
Father's Daniel story is absolutely amazing. It has inspired me ❤️ I was crying 😭 Thanks for your priesthood, father!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless all of our Catholic Priests and May our Blessed Mother Mary protect and guide them all forever!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
May God bless you and continue to pray for the church.
Have been seven or eight times to Medjugorje, first time in 2002, last in 2016. It has been an important part of my journey, but not the only one. Like somebody posted before, we carry Jesus in our hearts, and his and his Mother's love has been revealed to me in the most unexpected places and circumstances of daily life.
The fact that you were able to be receive formation in contemplative prayer is a huge blessing. I have been listening to presentations by Basil Pennington, William Meninger and Thomas Keating and trying to practice centering prayer.
If i ever go to Tennessee will visit you. Thank you for this testimony and your life.
God heals Fr. Reehil. 👍
Not focus on our sins and the past but focus on His merciful healing ❤️🩹 for all of us! Tough I know! 💪🙏💪🙏💪🙏
I have watched two videos of this man now, and I cant get enough. The way he speaks and explains things, its awesome. I could listen to him for hours. Wonderful Godly man 🙏
Dearest Fr. Daniel, when heard the words "I think you have a vocation to be a priest", I laughed n laughed but not at you... but of me! Oh, the Lord has a wonderful sense of humour! When I was 18 yrs old at school, my friend said to me that they always thought I would be a nun. I replied, 'what? NAH?' B ut inwardly felt it to be a truth n then at age 46 I became a consecrated diocesan hermit! Goes to show, God definitely has a wonderful sense of humour! Love Him every second of the day please everyone. I can identify with you Fr. Daniel! God bless you n all.
Never heard of a consecrated diocesan hermit. If you're truly happy and at peace with your vocation, I'm glad for you.
I have a life-long enmity with God. I also have quite a bit of unconfessed mortal sins. Life has always weighed heavily on me. I have a whole litany of unanswered prayers. For everyone involved (I'm not a good person), including myself, it'd be better if I wasn't around. Would God honor a sincere prayer to cut my life short? I'm not getting better with time, I'm getting more angry, more selfish, more resolved to do things my way. I know I can't reconcile with God because life has a 1000 ways to hit me, get me down, reactivate deep-seated wounds. I can't do life, period. Does God honor prayers like that, or am I on my own in that aspect as well?
@@phoenixaz8431 Dear Pheonix, if you only knew how many times i am fed up with my life! Even at this moment. I have had a rotten life... actually, its starting now... spent 53 years caring for my parents. Am an only child. Now my dad has gone, i feel lost n yet, i know i have to hang onto God. Your anger is the hurt you feel inside. I lived through domestic violence n narc dad. But God sustainef me in my darkest moments. He is with you. Please believe me. I found Him at age 6... looking up at the mountains on my grandparents meadow near italian alps on my first visit there. I find Him in nature, in the little things. When you think He doesnt answer your prayer, He has. You are asking for your destruction, but He is answering you by giving you life... i know, because i asked for same in my darkest moments. When you see a cloudy day, remember the sun is shining above the clouds. This life is hard, but please, forgive yourself. If you take the first step towards Him, He will open His arms to you. But He cant do it unless you open yourself up first. I was full of mortal sins too, but it didnt stop me from seeking Him. Try, try and take the first step and be ready for how loving and merciful He is. Start little, dont worry about setbacks, try. My dad was a narcissist but in the end... he came round and i now miss terribly the one who hated me most. I will pray for you with all my heart. Sr. C
@@carolpreved6055 Sr. Carol, something is going on spiritually these days. I have written God off because he wouldn't heal me, fix my life how I wanted to be healed, it to be fixed. I listen to sermons/preaching online, often it's as if I was listening to my autobiography!
Rejection is my primary wound. i've never been able to reconcile hearing that God loves me with the idea that he would snatch me out of the peace of nonexistence for a brutal life. Growing up, I mostly assumed God was on my side, waiting for the opportune time to come through and set my life on a different trajectory. God is omnipotent, so helping me comes at zero cost for him. It's very hard to go to God for help now, because I see him as the ultimate source/author of my misery. Thank you for taking the time to read my lamentation, and for your prayers for me. I've been prayed for before, but it's the 1st time someone has added 'with all my heart'.
@@phoenixaz8431 Dearest Pheonix, guess what my wound also is and was, and i will tell why now 'was'? Rejection!!! Just like you. 58 yrs worth. The author of that wound was my dad from day 1. He dragged mum to have me aborted. I need not tell you that he rejected to know me, anything i did etc. Its a horrible way to live and really you end up hating yourself and rejecting yourself. And it affects your life with others. Plus... my mother kept me almost locked up... i wasnt even permitted to go and buy milk at age 41 on my own and it was only up the street. I was her carer but also her body guard. I couldnt even go in our backyard, or laugh etc. We lived in terror 24/7. 'Was' because, a few weeks before dad died, seeing that he was slipping away, i asked my parish priest to give me a minor exorcism to break the curse of abortion which was my root cause of rejection. He agreed. It only took a few minutes. I left, and didnt feel any different and thought oh well... but, by the time i got to the end of the street in my car.. i suddenly began to feel different spiritually. Like something being lifted out of me. Well, it was rejection and all the hurts suffered. I felt free. My dad afterwards would say nasty things anyway but they no longer hurt me whereas before i would cry. Then, to really break the tie, I had him exorcised a week or so before he died. I felt rejected by God too though I loved Him and became a hermit. But once this minor exorcism was done, I no longer felt that. It healed me. But dear Pheonix, we have to take the first step in love, humility and trust towards Him from the heart. He is not the author of our miseries. Someone else is. Remember, Jesus dies a horrific death... He suffered. I saw years of illness, hunger, poverty, brutality, blood of my mum coming out and going through a dialysis machine etc. I wanted to commit suicide too. At the moment I am stressed as well and keep thinking what my purpose of living now that I have no one to care for. But I have a childhood dream... to go and live in the mountains. Suddenly, this is something I can do but am afraid. For the first time, the cage door is open, but the bird inside, standing on the perch is afraid to fly out. It needs courage. Hang on Pheonix. Please do not give up. Its so easy to. When we hang on to God through rejections etc it makes us stronger though we dont feel it. I am a broken person but I hang on. I dont expect God to fix me. Yes, I am confused when He doesnt help me know where or what I need to do. I spent nearly 59 years waiting for my dream. I have to start life now instead of in my 20s like everyone and alone. I can sense your hurt. Try if only you want, to have a minor exorcism as I did. It takes 5 mins. Its a simple prayer. Go to confession first. Thats the most powerful. Or just find a good holy priest to talk to. That, isnt easy these days to find. I will continue to pray for you. I really want the best for you. I want you free. Take care dear Pheonix and yes I say it with all my heart. Because i felt my love for my dad rejected by him and thats a painful wound. Hang on!
@@carolpreved6055 In today's christianity, you hear everything and its opposite. The prosperity preachers think any kind of illness, hardship, financial strain needs to be rebuked. Others think we'll have to wait for our resurrection for God to wipe our tears and make us whole.
I went to a (Catholic) charismatic retreat years ago. I had been prayed over abundantly, and it seemd that my conception was not from a consensual, loving act. My father was at the worst of his alcoholism when my mother was pregnant with me. Never had confirmation from my mother, nor is it something that I'd feel at ease bringing up with her. She did tell me, however, that due to my father's alcohol problem, lack of support, aloofness, and the fact that my older brother came down with a contagious disease possibly harmful to the fetus (me), that my mother wished she'd miscarry. Did that set me up for rejection, or was being raised by an angry, volatile, unhinged father enough to make me a fertile soil for emotional wounds. One of the ladies at the retreat who were responsible for me told me that she had a mental image of a young child whose body was partially *in* the floor from being domineered by and terrified of my father. I went there with an open heart, but I shut down during the retreat. Some of the stuff going on, I wasn't comfortable with. Every day, there was a different theme. One day, it was occult ties. The two ladies prayed over me, I remember wanting to open myself as much as possible, they said I had ties to the occult. The priest came a few minutes later, prayed over me, and said I had no ties to the occult. I'm very analytical and overthinking everything. That made me doubt the whole thing.
Protestant preachers often speak of generational curses, adn I think that's biblically sound. Esp. on my father's side, it's a very troubled line, with despair, suicide, mental illness problems, alcoholism, incest etc., I like the romantic idea of a new born baby being a clean slate, but it's far from reality.
Enough about me. I"m sorry to hear about the predicament that you've found yourself in. I can also understand that new-found freedom can be fear-inducing. What would living as a hermit on a mountain be like? Does it have to be a hermitage linked to a religious community? Are there hermits (or saints) in the history of the Church that you feel particularly drawn to?
Hi father, I didn't know you before you were a priest but there's a very peaceful expression on your face , you can almost see that you're free of greed money anger etc
I loved listening to your testimony, please pray for my daughter, thank you , Conor
All Glory be to God. We have an awesome God. Nothing is impossible with Him .
God’s grace be with you Fr.
Thank you Father, today I been very sad. I have a difficulta family . Lot’s of fifhts between brothers and sisters and makes me very sad. Today I needed to hear and remember that God never goes away from us. I just arrived from Medjugoje one week ago. God bless you!
What a witness! Thanks Father! We pray for you and all priests!
United in prayer
Awesome story
It's an amazing testimony. God's time is the best time. Love from India ❤❤
Thank God for your past. God uses everything. My prayers are with you, Father. Say a prayer for me. I'll also thank God for your vocation.

All i can say that it was simply beautiful. Thank you Father for sharing your beautiful testimony. May God bless you abundantly. Love and respect from 🇮🇳India
God bless Fr. Daniel and all your Priests.
"I had one foot in hell and other on a banana peel" 😂 Amazing testimony!
Thank you Fr. Daniel for sharing us your beautiful and inspirational story of your life.
People are wonderful creatures.
God Bless Father Tom DeLorenzo. That was a amazing story. Loved it ❤️🙏Thank you for your yes and your witness. Blessed to hear it
Hi how're you doing?
Such an amazing transformation, I love hearing these!! Fr. Daniel, thank you for saying yes! It's your passed experience that will make you a great priest, praying for you to keep moving forward on your mission.🙏
Wow 😮. God Bless you father and your vocation. What a great testimony!
I love lesening to this priest ❤
Thank you for sharing your amazing life, conversion, Catholic “challenges” and true belief. What you have been thru as a child and how you left the church but how you returned is nothing shy of a miracle. God is so good. You are living proof!
Inspiring testimony. All praise & glory to you my GOD, my all.
Father, D,
You have inspired me to try to come back to the faith more than any single person EVER
All the very best. I am a revert too! ❤
@@gemmag.2988 Thank you:)
How I would like to go to Medjugorje! Our Lady will help me reach there one day. I am sure. When I look out of my bedroom window, I can see the Madonna looking from the grotto straight into my room from wher she stands on our Parish front yard. I ways pray to her. My wife is so much in love with her , never ceasing to pray the Rosaries.
Congratulations father I believe that an older person can be a good priest because he has the knowledge more than a younger person and he understands the situation at hand
Captivating conversion and vocation story. There is nothing God cannot do!
Father from Monterrey. México... lucky you, God has chosen you to be His Priest. Please say a prayer for us. And some day come and visit our Lady of Guadalupe. I am sure She has you in her hands and loves you very much. Please send us your blessing. Familia Campos Salazar.
Very powerful testimony of the Glory of God in action in one persons life🙏
A lovely Priest God bless him🙏
Beautiful testimony.
What an awesome conversion story.
"Stumbled" upon a DW show on UA-cam tonight...hope we can talk some time. Thru my walk as a Christian most are oblivious of the demonic strongholds & so many under 'oppression possession" today. The body of Christ needs to be taught in this area so appreciate your videos which I'm just starting to watch. We are all learning.
Sweet indeed, sweet Sacrament, I love this Journey, God bless you father
