Go to confession as soon as you can. Pray the Rosary. If you continue to pray the Rosary you can't continue to sin. 153 fish = 153 Hail Marys in a full Rosay.
every human being is a sinner, sin being an inevitable outcome of a fallible human nature. No matter how righteous a person is, he or she may at times disobey God through ignorance or forgetfulness ,Remember When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement. Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God’s forgiveness, Because God is the all Just and all merciful,God in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them,God set the precedent that He will forgive those who turn to Him in sincere repentance We will all find ourselves in a similar situation as Adam and Eve so Salvation comes from God alone in seeking forgiveness, so when a person seeks forgiveness, he must turn to God submissively with true remorse and beg forgiveness, promising not to repeat the sin. Then and only then will sins be forgiven, so as God says: The door to forgiveness is open to anyone who seeks it
Something that was portrayed so beautifully in The Passion movie...when Judas betrayed Christ, he isolated himself and turned in on himself. When Peter denied Christ, he went to Mary. Mary shows him love and shares her strength with him, helping to keep his heart open and preparing him for Christ’s forgiveness.
Because Peter has a contemplative heart, and he knew who is the " another Advocate" and he got the explanation of Jesus rightly in John14:16 thats why in 50 AD St.Luke miraculously painted the "another Advocate" as all the Apostles had witness in the Upper Room who is the "Spirit of Truth". Do you know who is the "another Advocate" and the "Spirit of Truth"? Peter knew the role of Theotokos from Jesus revelation because he has a contemplative heart unlike Judas who doesn't reach the height of contemplation in prayer. Mary as the "another Advocate" received the "Spirit of Truth" as her anointing in the upper room..this is the mystery all Christian must embrace..Godbless
Christian Aaron We don’t know that this happened historically. I was just talking about the film “The Passion of the Christ.” The inclusion of this moment in the movie was just a nice reminder of how Mary can help lead us back to her Son when we’ve fallen.
This was so good for me. I fall into sin, and have struggled with sexual sin (lust, looking at things I should not look at) for the last ten years. My pattern has been to fall into this sin every 3-6 months over the past 3-4 years. I strive to live for the Lord, but find myself falling into the same besetting sin pattern -- usually when I am alone, isolated and sad. My marriage has been a source of pain for 20 years, and my wife and I have wandered far apart. We no longer live together, but there has been no emotional connection for many, many years. This does not justify my sin. It only gives context to why I fall and to what my trigger points are. I last sinned four months ago, repented, turned to God. But the past four weeks I have been drowning in guilt and shame -- and like this video says, I see my sin as "too big." Nothing, no sin is greater than the precious Blood of Jesus and His atoning Death. No sin is greater than God's grace. My fight for my life right now is to grasp the truths that where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. His mercy is greater than my sin, my sin habit, my sin nature, and my deceitful heart. This message gave me hope. Thank you, Fr. Mark. My hope and prayer is that this Holy Week, my eyes will be taken off my mountain of sin and failure and will instead gaze upon the Savior Who suffered and died for me that Friday. When I doubt God loves me because of my falling into the same sin again, I need to see His love shown to me upon the Cross. This video has given me renewed hope that God has not abandoned me, that I am still His son, even if battered and smelling like the pig pen. The consequences of sin are very real and hard. I want to live for and live near Jesus.
Amen and amen thank you for sharing. I struggle with the same, but thank God for his blood that was shed for us to come to him in repentance, and the Holy Spirit, who lift us up that we may come to him and ask for true forgiveness.
Oh I have to reply to this because it's so me. I get close to my Lord and lust (on line) gets me again. How can I love Jesus sooooooo much and keep doing this? I know his love and protection but feel like a cheat asking for forgiveness when I know I will do the same again. I will knowingly do it. The only comfort I have apart from knowing the love that my Jesus has for me is that a priest told me in confession Rome wasn't built in a day 😢
Yes, even Judas could have been redeemed had he repented and sought reconciliation. Remember: the only unforgivable sin is believing the lie that your sin is unforgivable. Thank you, Father!
The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which the Church teaches is rejection of the Holy Spirit (for any reason) at the moment of our passing.
@@paulmiller3469 That is giving up hope; which is thinking there is no forgiveness of your sin; which is the sin against the Holy Spirit Who can lead us into repentance, but we give up hope.

What a beautiful depiction of TRUTH! So many of us remain in the state of sin because we judge ourselves by our finite ability, not taking into consideration the depth and purity of God's Love & Mercy. Thank you Father for the reminder of this gift of Mercy!!!
I really needed this ive been struggling with a certain sin and I always feel like i disappointed God. I dont give into despair or anything but I just feel like I let him down thank you. I know that I have to keep fighting and focus on His goodness not my shortcomings. God Bless everyone❤
Thank you Father, I had fallen into great despair to the point where I even questioned why I am even wasting my time going to mass or if praying really works. Is time to rebuild, confession time
Yes the Lord is good. God’s Love is greater than all sin. God is helping me through this right now. Pray the Rosary. Come to The Altar is a good song to listen to.
Yes perfect timing is right, I need to go to confession but am embarrassed to confess a sin that’s weighs heavy on my heart. You just confirmed for me that I need to go and confess. Thank you I will be at confession on Sunday.
Confess everything, do not be afraid. Remember, the angels always rejoice over 1 Repented sinner. You will be made slate clean on that day when you confess. May Christ be your light!!
Yes Priest/Friar I really do listen from time to time I just talk to Jesus and asking for forgiveness I everyday recite the three o'clock prayer for his Divine Mercy and I'll be just then okay and ready to go again with a shield of his strenght, and almighty power from preventing to sin again that much.🙏🙇🙏 amen and amen.
I feel this despair actually. I just dont know what to do sometimes. I've been back to confession many times. Our parish priest says that God's mercy is bigger than all our sins and this gives me some hope. It feels like a long hard road.
Such an amazing video & message! My family absolutely loves watching these videos every night after we pray the rosary together. Thank you so much for the gift of this content! 🙏🏽 Pax Christi ~ Deena 🌸
A Catholic Wife A Blessed Life I always get a suggestion to watch and every time it’s perfect. And we just finished praying the rosary when this video came up on my feed. Oh man God does not waste anytime showing his love for us.
@@mariadeleon7667 Same here! I am so grateful that they have this channel! This video was so powerful - I love when they talk about the hard parts of life and offer ways to fight against dispair.
A Catholic Wife A Blessed Life yes exactly, I already loved this channel with Fr. Mike but when I started to watch The Friars I fell in love with the messages.
Im sitting here this morning feeling low because i felt i had only just started the path of relising god. But then i failed and sinned only a day later. This has helped me to keep going and to put myself in gods hands
Wow amazing.. I pray for the forgiveness.. restoration.. I was soo lost but following this channel it making me realize haw mercyful God is.. I once ask is there any sin that God can’t forgive..?
"Do not be surprised that you fall every day; do not give up, but stand your ground courageously. And assuredly the angel who guards you will honor your patience." ~St. John Climicus
Thank you Father Mark Mary for the clarity and difference between Judas and Peter because where I see myself as Judas. When in reality, I am actually PETER!!!! Bless you Father 🙏🏽
This stills helps so much, please pray for me as I pray for those who are struggling. I just gave into sin and I am heartbroken and desperate for God’s grace.
Nicholas, if you're still following this. Do not despair. Run to the arms of the Father. Confess your sin. Ask for His mercy. Turn to Jesus. His arms are open for you, Nicholas. For you.
This came at the right time and it literaly fitted me like a ring in the finger. Please guys pray for me for I've been struggling with sin since many many years and even if I pray daily (including the rosary), got to church, do the sacraments and try to do good deeds and stay away of bad stuff somehow I always end up in this repetitive sins, sometimes I get discouraged a lot because of my current situation (no job, no friends, no girlfriend and a lot of bad stuff going on) plus I feel that my prayers are not heard or that something in me is not ok and cannot be fixed, thats why I beg you to please pray for me so that I don't end up doing some crazy stuff like Judas and that I can overcome all this obstacles and that my faith remains strong. God bless you all my brothers and sisters!
Alfredo Libreros You are not alone! Many of try to be faithful and WE fail! But HE DOESNT FAIL! Remember: Matthew 24:13 «But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.» Persevere is the key word!! Don’t we ever stop. Continue!! God Bless!
Phenomenal video! You hit the nail on the head, Fr. Mark Mary. I love that scene in the movie Jesus of Nazareth when Peter is feeling the pain of the sin and is in the processes of asking for forgiveness - powerful! Thank God for His incredible mercy.
I oftentimes wish this channel and my church talk more (and in more details) about Satan. There's a lot to gain in learning about his lies. From thereon we'll be better at recognising and rejecting them. Great video as always btw! Love this one too!
I've been there. Don't despair! Your sins will never be greater than His mercy! Go to confession, make changes, and movs on. Look up "Littlest Souls" blog on Wordpress.
Oh i feel you, it‘s a struggle sometimes. I try every day just to focus on the present day not to sin, otherwise it‘s overwhelming for me, if i think „try not to sin for the next week“.
We sin because we aren't willing to let go the pleasures that sin offers. We intend to give up on those and approach sins not as a Challenger but as someone who already knows that we have already won the battle . We have a up hand on the tempter himself but we rarely acknowledge. Pray esp the Psalm 51 the moment u tend to fall in sinful ways... Get away from the mere circumstances ... Just pray and ask Father's help and He will be just there helping you. God bless .. will pray for you
Thank you for your videos. This one and many of your others are spot on at times that I need to hear God’s messages to me. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
Peter wept bitterly.. yet no mention of Judas shedding a tear for his sin. ….pride seems to inhibit ones ability to suffer doesn't it. Victor Frankl said in his memoirs from Auschwitz upon observing the prisoners 'there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer' ..I think he put it so profoundly as it was beautifully borne from experience. A man that has only sipped from the chalice of suffering would deny a person the humanity of their feelings, but someone who has imbibed deeply of its bitterness would say "be holy carry it"!
Chris Stefanick gave a talk to a group at a SEEK conference. He started with "Hail Mary, full of grace, kick the devil in the face." I think it works well to say to yourself when faced with temptations of any kind.
That was a great lesson thank you for that oh yeah and for some reason I always wish The Candle is lit under the pitcher of our mother Mary.... peace and thank you again
I don’t know the details of your theology, whether it be catholic, orthodox, whatever. I do know that you have spoken truth. I don’t know the validity of your ministry. I do know you have helped comfort me. Like so many others I watched this from a place of guilt. To help me sleep, after my iniquities. But your words turned me back towards God; our Lord Jesus, and that he who began a good work in me will surely finish it. I do not know the validity of your ministry, but I do remember a verse, that even if a person hears the truth from someone with selfish desires it is still a boon. I’m not sayin you are fraudulent or incomplete in your knowledge of scripture. I am saying thank you regardless.
I Fell into temptation when i met a very beautiful but troubled lady. What started as kiss on the cheek.... well...became so destructive and painful until I destoryed my own happiness. I am desperate for some forgiveness and to rebuild my life.
As a child I believed that the Bible was the word of God and that Jesus was my savior .In 1988 I was drinking a fifth of alcohol a day . I knew that there was more to life than I realized but I didn't know what it was . I had a wonderful girlfriend , we raced motorcycles , we went to bluegrass festivals and did whatever we wanted to do . I realized that I had everything the world said was happiness but I felt something important was missing and I didn't know what it was. I tried scientology , all kinds of yoga, martial arts and various other disciplines but nothing satisfied me . One Sunday morning I came home drunk in a taxicab and waiting outside of my house was a man who was giving my roommate a ride to church. I had gone to alcoholics anonymous for six months and they helped me a lot but I had gone back to drinking .He invited me to sit in his car and talk. He asked me if I wanted a bible study. I said I would love to have a bible study . He came on Monday nights the only night of the week that I didn't drink. It was a 12 week bible study that went from Genesis to Revelation. He showed me in the book of Acts ( Acts 2:38 ) where it said repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost . I said I'd never seen that in the bible and I wanted to get baptized in Jesus' name and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I got baptized in Jesus' name and prayed for two months to get the Holy Ghost. The night that I got the Holy Ghost I was praying and I started to talk in tongues , I felt wonderful and GOD delivered me from the spirit of alcohol . I have never wanted to drink since then and I praise GOD for that. . The man who gave me the twelve week bible study taught me a ' GODHEAD ' bible study twice but i didn't understand the oneness of God or the trinity . I was reading the bible one day and read Ephesians 4 : 5-6 that i had previously highlighted in my bible . God gave me the revelation of oneness . ' ONE LORD , ONE FAITH , ONE BAPTISM , ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL , WHO IS ABOVE ALL , AND THROUGH ALL ,AND IN YOU ALL ! JOHN 3:16 IS JUST ONE VERSE : YOU NEED TO READ ALL OF CHAPTER THREE TO UNDERSTAND JESUS' PLAN OF SALVATION ! I was a believer from childhood but I wasn't saved . THANK YOU FOR READING THIS !
Wow, this pops up after I gave into temptation. God truely is out there trying to save me. Thank you, brother.
Me too
Me to
Yes He is, but we must always try to meet Him half way!
Go to confession as soon as you can. Pray the Rosary. If you continue to pray the Rosary you can't continue to sin.
153 fish = 153 Hail Marys in a full Rosay.

To hardcore sinners...Don't despair ... come to Jesus,The Divine Mercy.His Blood and Water are waiting for special one to come to Him..

perfect timing for me as well
Thank you for your videos. This one and many of your others are spot on at times that I need to hear God’s messages to me.
May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
How many other prodigal sons out there?
Nothing to be proud of but its good to be home!
Wow, I am still searching about discernment of spirits and this video pops up.
Very well explained.thanks father
Exactly what i needed to hear in this moment of struggle. Thank you so much lord for your infinite love and mercy!
Father!,THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON! LOVE YOU!
Peter wept bitterly.. yet no mention of Judas shedding a tear for his sin. ….pride seems to inhibit ones ability to suffer doesn't it. Victor Frankl said in his memoirs from Auschwitz upon observing the prisoners 'there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer' ..I think he put it so profoundly as it was beautifully borne from experience. A man that has only sipped from the chalice of suffering would deny a person the humanity of their feelings, but someone who has imbibed deeply of its bitterness would say "be holy carry it"!
In this case, my Conscience is possessed by the devil. I have to be carefull. Thank you for this message.
Fight temptations! Fight the evil & reach for the light at the end of the tunnel. Persevere & you will be Victorious! I'll pray for you!
@@poetlover30 thank you
Chris Stefanick gave a talk to a group at a SEEK conference. He started with "Hail Mary, full of grace, kick the devil in the face." I think it works well to say to yourself when faced with temptations of any kind.
That was a great lesson thank you for that oh yeah and for some reason I always wish The Candle is lit under the pitcher of our mother Mary.... peace and thank you again
God is good always
thanks. I blew it today and needed some encouragement

I really needed to hear this today.Thank you
Thank you brother
I don’t know the details of your theology, whether it be catholic, orthodox, whatever. I do know that you have spoken truth. I don’t know the validity of your ministry. I do know you have helped comfort me. Like so many others I watched this from a place of guilt. To help me sleep, after my iniquities. But your words turned me back towards God; our Lord Jesus, and that he who began a good work in me will surely finish it. I do not know the validity of your ministry, but I do remember a verse, that even if a person hears the truth from someone with selfish desires it is still a boon. I’m not sayin you are fraudulent or incomplete in your knowledge of scripture. I am saying thank you regardless.
I feel so frustrated with my sin. I hate it so much
Thank you Father! :)
he's done this to me..

Salty Devil. You have no power here.
To fall into temptation is to not pay in other to touch, feel, hear, and see another physical actions.

Thank you Father!!! Michael
God Bless you All🙏😘
As a child I believed that the Bible was the word of God and that Jesus was my savior .In 1988 I was drinking a fifth of alcohol a day . I knew that there was more to life than I realized but I didn't know what it was . I had a wonderful girlfriend , we raced motorcycles , we went to bluegrass festivals and did whatever we wanted to do . I realized that I had everything the world said was happiness but I felt something important was missing and I didn't know what it was. I tried scientology , all kinds of yoga, martial arts and various other disciplines but nothing satisfied me . One Sunday morning I came home drunk in a taxicab and waiting outside of my house was a man who was giving my roommate a ride to church. I had gone to alcoholics anonymous for six months and they helped me a lot but I had gone back to drinking .He invited me to sit in his car and talk. He asked me if I wanted a bible study. I said I would love to have a bible study . He came on Monday nights the only night of the week that I didn't drink. It was a 12 week bible study that went from Genesis to Revelation. He showed me in the book of Acts ( Acts 2:38 ) where it said repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost . I said I'd never seen that in the bible and I wanted to get baptized in Jesus' name and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I got baptized in Jesus' name and prayed for two months to get the Holy Ghost. The night that I got the Holy Ghost I was praying and I started to talk in tongues , I felt wonderful and GOD delivered me from the spirit of alcohol . I have never wanted to drink since then and I praise GOD for that.
. The man who gave me the twelve week bible study taught me a ' GODHEAD ' bible study twice but i didn't understand the oneness of God or the trinity . I was reading the bible one day and read Ephesians 4 : 5-6 that i had previously highlighted in my bible . God gave me the revelation of oneness . ' ONE LORD , ONE FAITH , ONE BAPTISM , ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL , WHO IS ABOVE ALL , AND THROUGH ALL ,AND IN YOU ALL !
JOHN 3:16 IS JUST ONE VERSE : YOU NEED TO READ ALL OF CHAPTER THREE TO UNDERSTAND JESUS' PLAN OF SALVATION !
I was a believer from childhood but I wasn't saved .
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS !
