I believe this channel has given me so much help..I'm still a wretched sinner..I know this. But I can keep trying. Atleast I'm trying and seeking Christ..I won't stop ever.
I Agree it has help me as well and yes we are sinners but we still seek him and try hard and I will also never stop. Someone told me Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves and still loves us more than we can imagine
Blessed Mother Queen of The Most Holy Rosary.... Just pray the Holy Rosary everyday no matter what even if you have to force yourself do it.... {*J*M*J*}
Finding a spiritual director who holds fast to the faith is hard enough! I want to be a consecrated virgin but there are so many bishops with questionable teaching that I don't dare.
“Developing friendships only for the sake of being comforted under the pretext of devotion.” Hits a bullseye describing modern dating, sexual or not. Many just want to have the feeling of being loved, rather than seeking to give love. Leads to mortal sin. The disease of lukewarmness. The soul is deprived of many graces. Brilliant. This hit home with me.
You can tell really tell how passionate father is about this subject by how much his (Bostonian?) accent slips in. Thank you father and thank you for the upload, SF
Natural accents are better than the affected speech a lot of priests take on. The United States is so devoted to negating culture and ethnicity into sterilized cosmopolitanism that natural accents come off as an opposition to that system.
I enjoy an honest CATHOLIC lesson. I am SOOOO tired of getting nice Christian messages at my church. Any Protestant would feel very comfortable at today's Masses -- Thanks Vatican II.
That sermon was very helpful. I'll keep all those pieces of advice in mind on the way to that second stage… Hopefully before I turn 60! Actually, another thing; it seems that--when reflecting on the sermon--the holier a person becomes, so also all the more complex do Satan's rat traps become too.
Wonderful video. He almost sounds like Fulton Sheen at some points and I love how he tell us that an incredible antidote to the problem of lukewarmness is none other than the Blessed Mother! :D

Nancy I have had the same problem in New York. And, to make matters worse, in my opinion, They just transferred two of the Priests I was closest too and the head of my church retired within weeks. Why the Catholic Church has mandated that our Priests be moved to different churches every 5-6 years cannot be of God. My life has been one of great tragedy losing all of my family and friends at very young ages even my children. I have been left in this Valley of tears broken down by crippling Post Traumatic Stree Disorder (PTSD) with severe Panic Attacks. All I have left is my faith by the grace of God, a PTSD sevice dog and a cat who adopted me 19 1/2 years ago on my front door. It is extremely painful for me to have to start all over with a new Priest retelling all the tragedys in my life. Actually how sad is this statement... Only one Priest, that just left for another church, has ever even known me by name in my entire life. I would not wish my cross on another but God has allowed this to be my cross to carry. I cannot travel away from my church. And I feel so abandoned and alone. The new head of my church has now locked the doors to the church at 4pm instead of 8-9pm. So I can no longer go to spend time with Jesus daily as I need to. I think the Priests on this channel are traditional and truly shepherd their flocks. I don't know if they fully realize just how secular most Priests have become. Why is my church now closed on secular holidays like memorial day, labor day plus and they fall on Mondays which is the only day my church has the exposition of the most blessed Sacrement, Confession, and Benediction? This is not what Jesus taught his Priests to be. So the only Spiritual adviser available is on this channel and EWTN. It is truly a sad state that most Catholics are encountering in their Parrishes today. God Bless
Linda Maria de la Rosa .. Priests have been moved from different parishes for exactly that reason. The church has always done this, at least as far as I know. There is good and Faithful priests out there., you just need to pray for one.. God love you.!
Linda Maria dela Rosa: Are there any religious orders near you, like Benedictines? There were Franciscan sisters near me and one did spiritual direction. I think some churches are locked now for safety. May God bless and help you.
This video rather upset me as it is nearly impossible to find a good spiritual director. I absolutely agree with everything else but to emphasis the absolute necessity of a spritual director and yet 90% of us don’t have the access to that is upsetting and discouraging.
Every state has a diocese and there should be a list of priests with that background. We can't direct ourselves. So if you haven't found one, you will good luck!
There are so many helpful books and videos available, on line and off. Maybe ask the Holy Spirit to direct you if you can't find a director, and don't forget the Bible. Thank you Father.
A good spiritual director. I'd love to find one, but in a small town with only one priest it is hard. Especially since I can only travel as far as my bicycle (summer) or my feet (winter) will take me. Friends occasionally take me to a Latin Mass but most of the time I assist at an N.O. Mass ... I find that a heavy cross to bear. I know that the priest here is too busy PLUS his spirituality, going by his sermons, is too "horizontal" rather than vertical. Ave Maria ...
Amen Father. Thank you very much - I needed that spiritual awakening again. We are so blessed to have your daily conferences to help us save our souls. Being a Traditional takes a lot of spiritual effort but think of the goal HEAVEN. It's worth it because God wants us to be with Him. Just think that this life is temporary. Our goal is to go home to Him because we are His children and He is our Father. God bless all of us. Thank you Father.+
Thanks for sharing. I guess I have half the solution to my lukewarmness. I do may best to be close to Mother Mary too with daily rosary (not always deliberately undistracted), the harder part, the other half, having a good spiritual director would take a miracle, because the holy priests, the good priests are so on fire, they're usually the busiest too. Also everybody wants to have him as their good, holy spiritual director. The good, holy priest usually don't have 1 hour to spend with you alone, every month. What could be the solution to this practical dilemna? I've been praying for years for a holy, good spiritual director. God bless, Proverbs 31
That always happens with me but it's mainly because most churches in my town only have confession for a very limited time each day (if at all) & it usually only starts 5 minutes before mass which I think is awful.
If more priests in the Latin Rite preached like this, the churches wouldn't be so empty. As a Byzantine catholic I'm used to belonging to a small community. After experiencing the ancient Latin Divine Liturgy "mass" in my youth, I don't know how the pius Latins stomach what happened to your Liturgy after the council. Us eastern catholics look to Rome for unity and orthodoxy, but the past 50 years has been sadly chaotic! While I DO believe the novus ordo is valid, even when it's celebrated in a church that still looks like a church it still pales in comparison to the beauty and orthodoxy of the "mass of all ages". Pray for the Church! Slava isusu Christu!
If only more priests were like him..There was one church I used to go to where the altar rail still exists & there was one Priest there in particular who used to shake his head at me & give me such a dirty look every-time I dared to kneel at the altar to receive Holy Communion..it always baffles me that Priests would be bothered by that instead of trying to encourage it & it also baffles me that even with an altar rail there very few of the faithful made use of it to kneel to receive Holy Communion..most people just stood in front of it waiting for the Priest to come to them & then most received Jesus in their hand anyway which never seems to bother the priests either as far as I could tell.
It's not about making a show it's about giving Jesus the reverence & respect that he's due..if it was encouraged more in churches by replacing the alter rails more people would do it & it wouldn't be a show as you call it, it would be just the norm which it should be.
My Main Problem is fear fear of men fear of the enemy please pray for that I may overcome my fears in my life

Father your life is a blessing !3 Hail Mary For you!
It’s so hard to find a spiritual director nowadays who takes time to be your spiritual director
Finding a spiritual director who holds fast to the faith is hard enough! I want to be a consecrated virgin but there are so many bishops with questionable teaching that I don't dare.
true, for me its a really a problem finding a good experienced and holy spiritual director. ive tried asking my parish priest but hehe
Just Be and God Himself will guide you
@@gray_mara I understand that, me too, ask your confessor if you can take a private vow of virginity. God bless you

True! Vatican II is a destruction for Catholics. A big mistake
Are you serious, thanx Vatican ll that destroyed the Church.
Wake up James and smell the roses.

Our souls inhabit flesh which is weak that's where prayer and humility and acts of mercy must be a part of our person .
If we can’t find a good spiritual director,ask the Good Shepherd to bring 1 to you!Trust the Lord.
I'm not even at the beginners stage, I'm horrible. Please pray for me.
its the same for me I can't even go to church bc my family is protestant and I almost never pray
Thank you. God bless.

Thank you 🙏🏻
12 Step programs use sponsors. It’s the only place I have heard about a type of spiritual director. Did not know about them in the Catholic Church.
It's so hard to find a good spiritual director. Most of our priests are luke warm. So how do I find one?.
All you need to find is one.. right? There's many Great priests out there.

M. Williams Find a priest from the Traditional Latin Mass.
Every state has a diocese and there should be a list of priests with that background. We can't direct ourselves. So if you haven't found one, you will good luck!
Also, I want to add.. I pray to our blessed lady and she has brought me two already. Years ago one had passed and this year she brought me a new one.
@@Hoatknguyen i agree,.
Om!!! Thank you so much!!!!! This totally opened my eyes! J + M + J

just curious
2 and a half hours to 5 hours a day I spend with Christ and 24 hours with the scapular
24/7 indeed.
Any chance you will post these as an audio podcast?
Where to find a good spiritual director? It must be a Catholic Priest, right?
