The Lord calls us to get away and rest a while. Go “Inside the Friary” with Fr. Mark as he takes us to his favorite outdoor places to be alone with God.
Thank you Father Mark Very beautiful place. I watch EWTN daily. I just love all the Friars and the nuns and everyone at EWTN. Pray for me and my family. Much prayers needed to be healed Spiritually,, Mentally and Physically.
It is so nice seeing Fr Mark relaxed in his downtime enjoying Our Lord in the beautiful nature where there are so many blessings. I enjoy walking every day hearing and seeing the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and bunnies scurrying around. I feel so close to God and am in awe of His ever changing creation. Such a blessing each and every day.
Thank you fr Mark for the idea of going to the garden to talk and listen to God. Due to the pandemic all are at home and there is no quiet place in the house. I have had a hard time to pray. God bless you!
I commune with God and the Blessed Mother during my walks in the park with my dogs. I take the wooded areas, where it’s more quiet and just being attuned to the sounds of nature. Like background music while I’m talking to God. Indeed, the best things in life are free💕
I completely understand. I live very near the beach in northeast FL. I walk on a very secluded place on the beach and pray the Rosary. The environment God created helps cut thru the messy parts of life so I can see Him for the AWESOME AND LOVING FATHER HE IS. Thanks for the video
Thank you, Father Mark! This is a wonderful installment with important messages. It’s easy to be in awe of the power of God when we’re in nature. When we were at Scout Camp last summer, I remember saying, “This place is this beautiful every day, whether anyone is here to appreciate it or not.” As you not in the installment, we need to take time away from the constant bombardment and overload of our senses with various types of media. It’s good to put the phone down, turn off the TV and even the music, so we can appreciate the sights and sounds that God provides through nature. Please keep up your good work. May God continue to bless you in your ministry.
Thank you Father Beautiful scenery in nature and reminding us of the beauty of Gods creation...and the sounds of nature God bless and thanks for sharing🙏 Judy/Bob 🌞
Thank you Father. You have a beautiful oasis right on the property. Do you ever see any deer? You are in such a beautiful area of the country to enjoy the seasons. I want to learn more about St Ignatius and his spiritual exercises. One day I will make a retreat,
Thank Fr. Mark for this Outdoor tour. I love nature too. I can resonate with the tidbits you gave us. Yes, that's how I feel too. I think of St. Pope John Paul II, he loved nature too because he said that he saw God in nature. I fully agree. I cannot help but think of only God in nature. God bless you abundantly.
My beautiful back garden is like an oasis. I live on Vancouver Island right near the beach. Sunrise and sunsets are beautiful. I am definitely blessed every day.
🌿 For prayer I like someplace, anyplace in nature. With all the deceit and greed we encounter in our lives- nature, from the hand of God straightaway is powerful. God will fill us when we hearken unto him- when we listen to His voice. I hear it at Mass and other places; it's just sometimes more personal; for me alone at that time, in a wilderness. Psalm 81 came to me- it seems much related to I Samuel chapt 8, in that it directs us to follow God rather than an earthly surety. Thank you, Father Mark, for this exposè and your thankfulness to God for His creation! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 From Psalm 81: 10 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. Have faith brothers and sisters! Pray for more faith! 🙂
Love what you said...we always have something to thank God for, like these videos Inside and outside the friary...on a lockdown again here where I live in the Phil.n since the pandemic not much worthwhile programs on tv.What a blessing to come across (on ytube) so many videos of live masses.prayers , novenas.talks etc fr priests n religious.It seems God has called them all out to reach the body of Christ who still cant go to mass n receive Jesus. Jesus' friends - his priests bring us his Presence and nourish our souls.As a catechist and a Catholic I really miss receiving Jesus.However I hear Jesus telling me...I have never left you nor my church...my priests are with you n praying for you n the whole world.Thanks for reaching out to us.JESUS LOVES YOU ALL.
Wow! Beautiful place. Fr. Mark, thank you for the tour around your Friary. I love nature too, and its natural sound, like the singing of the bird, the breeze of the air. Love also the dawn and the setting of the sun, the mountain, and every natures creation, its kind of a refreshing and relaxing.. Thanks God. Thank you again Padre, and keep safe..😘😇🙏
My dream is to visit the ewtn chapel where you have your daily masses. Also, the shrine. It's still a dream because me and my husband and son don't even have a US visa. We're 10 siblings and I'm the only one who haven't gone to the US. Father the place looks so refreshing and peaceful. I wish we could be there. God bless you.
Hey Mark! ( my boxer) I loved your video! If I remember correctly you planted the bamboo!? I love bamboo, it's so beautiful and peaceful. I love seeing some of your hang outs. Thank you Mark! I'll send a letter soon. Peace and love.
Those trees are standing to attention : ) No strong winds there ? Love these talks that I have newly subscribed to, will forward connections to our our local Franciscans here in Halifax. Pax et bonum.
An encouragement for spiritual growth, spiritual strength and spiritual maturity! Thank you Father Mark!
Thank you Fr. Mark. God bless you!
Thank you Father Mark, awesome

Thanks Father Mark.
Can’t wait to come visit again!
See you again Fr. Mark and be well❤️🙏❤️
Thank you Fr. for your gentle reminders to take time to be grateful to God for all he's done, and to bring our cares to him because he cares about us.
Father, you have the most calming way of preaching. You help connect us to God Almighty.
Thank you Father Mark Very beautiful place. I watch EWTN daily. I just love all the Friars and the nuns and everyone at EWTN. Pray for me and my family. Much prayers needed to be healed Spiritually,, Mentally and Physically.

I love this video !!!! Thank you Fr. Mark. --- I usually go to my back yard, say a prayer and try to listen what God wants to tell me.
