    I found Fr Mark Beard’s online Sunday homilies, by chance and faithfully looked forward to listening in each Sunday. Oh how I will miss him. He helped me grow in my Catholic faith, return to the sacrament of confession, experience Adoration weekly and see the truth in Catholic doctrine. I ask our Lord for mercy for this loving priest who taught so many of us how to plant our flag! Well done Fr Mark may you be welcomed by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Oh how you will be missed….

      Me too. I looked forward after getting home from my church, to hear him speak. He was such a great inspiration to me and motivated me to be "more Catholic". I even drank the wine for the first time in decades because of a recent homily of his.

    The amount of prayers/support Father Mark Beard will be able to supply from where he is now is much more than it was before. He has our mothers ear, and he is in our Lords embrace.
    Glory be the the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and forever shall be, a world without end. Amen.

    What penetrating and powerful parting words; his plea for our steadfast, unwavering fidelity to Christ. “You’ve got to decide if you’re in or if you’re out. You can’t go both ways. All I care about is your soul. There are no exceptions when you’re in front of Him. It’s important for me to tell you the truth. You’ve got to plant your flag.”
    Thank you forever, Father ❤

      "All I care about is your soul." Words most of us never ever hear from priests or bishops in our churches and dioceses. And they do not talk of sin, serious sin, receiving the Eucharist unworthily, and they think we are all saints because they offer Confession for a mere 45 minutes to an hour once a week. Fr Beard didn't mince words, and was a true disciple of Jesus Christ. His legacy will live on.

    I find it so amazing that on this his last homily he preached his heart out on all the hot buttons of our doctrine that is being questioned. He even reminds us how we need to hold the only truth giving to us by Jesus Christ as written in the Holy Scriptures. I hear a Sense of urgency in His words to no matter what happens with administration or management of the church we hold the truth and nothing but the truth and get off the fence and stand for our Catholic faith and the doctrine of our faith as it was transmitted to us by the fathers of the church .
    God rest his soul. Father Mark when you get to Paradise pray for us the militant church so we can remain faithful to the end .

    He said a very good statement in November about when he dies, he does not want to hear anyone say, he's in a better place. He said he will haunt you every night, because he was saying, too many think people are in a better place, when no, they are in Purgatory and are forgotten. That not only is true, but he meant it. It was a great homily about Purgatory and he just finished with that, which I thought people may want to remember at this time. Pray for his soul, because he will for you!

      Let me tell you something. When he said that he always said "when I die you better start praying then and there if not I'm going to haunt you and sing 99 bottles of bear on the wall." Well someone who was close with Father Mark said that in his way to mass after Father Marks passing he heard 99 bottles of beer on the wall on the radio. Have you ever heard that song on the radio, it's a sign❤️

    Got into YT this morning and a video was there with a headline saying Fr. Mark had passed. I couldn’t believe it and started crying. It looks like he may have had a heart attack or such as it was reported as a one-vehicle crash. His homilies came into my feed a few months back and I listened each Sunday to them. My mom passed last June and since then I have been very lost. I have delved deeper into my Catholic faith and Father Mark was one of the priests I listened to. His words in particular not only brought comfort, but a call to action. Time and again he would preach to “get in the game.” That you’re either walking towards Christ or away from him. I always felt inspired by his words. We don’t like to think about our own passing, but when death hits home you can’t help but focus on it. Father Mark’s words have touched me deeply and I’ll miss his guidance. I pray the rosary daily and always include intentions that God protect him and all the priests who have the courage to stand up and speak truth in these current times we’re in. I’ll continue to pray for him and that he indeed met Christ who said welcome my good and faithful servant. Prayers to his family and friends as well.

It is convenient, for certain voices , that he died in an "accident". An other St Paul killed because he told the THRUTH , because the TRUTH was in every words he said in this holy homelie God, please, bring him to paradise , with you. May he rest in preace. 🙏🙏🙏😞

Mark, his dear mother, family, and parishioners. Losing him on this earthly plain is unimaginably hard. When I lost my pastors throughout the years, I was devastated.

    At 62 and a convert 39 years ago, I genuinely wish there’d been a priest to talk straight to my husband and I 43 years ago. I would’ve converted right away after we married but our (sincerely precious and loving) priest wasn’t fond of converts. I was 6 months pregnant and begged him because I went to mass every weekend and holy day of obligation. For all practical purposes I was Catholic just not technically. So he agreed and I spent 2 weeks with him and then he did my first confession and first holy communion and confirmation all in one ceremony. He had wonderful homilies but none got “real” with the congregation. However, he was beloved by the entire congregation and our small town. He went to the hospital, nursing home, to see shut-ins, etc. Our son was the Las baby he baptized and our daughter loved him like a grandfather. He just never addressed any touchy subjects. Things like contraception that, as a convert, I didn’t really understand and hadn’t read the catechism from cover to cover so there were things I should’ve known then that I didn’t and fully understand now. Plus, the simple act of saying the rosary with your family every night is extremely important and might have helped keep our children in the church. One is out completely - going to a different denomination. The other is still Catholic but doesn’t attend regularly. As children they were raised to go to church EVERY weekend and holy day of obligation as a family. They went to CCE every Sunday or Wednesday (little ones up thru 5th grade went on Sundays). And both went through Confirmation. Plus, my husband and I taught CCE classes and Confirmation for our son. I was a lector, my husband was a Eucharistic minister and both children were alter servers. We were very involved in our church. But, to have a priest tell you what you need to hear is ultimately important no matter how involved you are or what you do at home. What a terrible loss for this church community! You are all in my thoughts and prayers as I know you are broken hearted! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔💔🤗🫶🏻😰

    God bless father Mark and the church. Pick up your cross and follow me "daily". Not easy being a Christian daily, but the amount of spiritual peace being in a state of grace daily is infinitely better than not being. I love my God, my church, and our faith.

    One of the most influential men I’ve ever known. His sermons seemed to always hit home with me. When I get off the path sometimes they always seem to gut punch me and send me back on the straight path. It’s a work to be a better husband , father, and friend. I will miss his words that Jesus used through him as a vessel. Thankfully now he’s closer to christ than ever before and has a direct link to help us even more. Fr Mark pray for us.

    I am so incredibly sad - I never met Fr. Mark in person; I live in Huntington Beach. But his homilies showed up in my UA-cam feed this year- and I listened every week. I looked forward to hearing his interpretation of the Gospel each week! Still can’t believe he is gone. Taken too soon. I hope you continue to pray for us all, Fr. Mark, as I am sure you are sitting now with Jesus, keeping watch over us. 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
