If I had heard this at a novus ordo I wouldn't have wasted 10 years of my life sitting in my room dreaming about finding a man out of nowhere like they do in the movies.
My wife's OB-GYN refuses to prescribe birth control. He came to that decision quite a few years ago after consulting with a priest. He accepted that he would use patients but he has actually gained them! He also donates some of this time to local crisis pregnancy center to give ultrasounds to expectant women who are considering abortion, so they will change their minds.
Excellent advice. Where were priests like this when I was growing up? What of those of us from the 60s who have ended up with neither religion nor marriage? I FIRST heard of having a vocation and the need to pray for it at age 47. That was a decade ago.
Father, your messages never cease to amaze and challenge me to make changes in my way of thinking. God bless you and may he have mercy on all those who hear this message but deny it.
74 years old. Never heard half of what was taught here while growing up. I cannot believe anyone I know ever has either. No wonder everything such a mess, even in traditional families.
I agree fully. If we’d have had actual priests preaching the family and the core values week after week, we wouldn’t have had these issues we now see. It’s rediculous what lies we were told even in the sacred Church. I’m appalled by what wasn’t taught to us. And mind blown at the one or two good teachers I encountered over 40 years saying anything transparently and building foundations on.
This is so old fashioned and I love it. This is what I heard growing up and from my parents. You young people this is a blueprint for a happy life, think about it. God bless you, Father.
I’m using my moms cell phone .. I’ve been visiting a Catholic Monastery Early Mass … I’m Not a Catholic but I’ve been risking myself 2 times every week to Participate in The Eucharistic Mass … I was told I couldn’t take it …. but what they don’t know it’s the Beautiful blessing I’ve been experiencing from peace , joy , love , and even Boldness … I’ve never thought the Eucharist was soo powerfull but aswell I’ve experienced the Spiritual Attacks in my dreams , in my own mother , and even among the brethren … Wow !!! I’m still shocked, since I was taught evil about the Catholic Church ! They told me to stay away from it , they call the Church the white of Babylon !! But wow the Eucharist has been soo beautiful and powerful…
Thank you Father for your very enlightening sermon. You voice is very familiar in this Channel that inspired me to be a better Catholic husband. May God bless you always!
Great sermon! The title should be Holy Families Dont "Just Happen", it would make more sense. I was befuddled when I read the title, then realized it was just the wrong order of those two words
Please pray for me that God blesses me with a good man soon. I am looking and so far, no blessings. In the meantime, I'll offer up my suffereings and try to improve myself and stay close to Jesus. But I need prayers because the wait is so painful. I've been waiting for 26 years wanting to be a mom and housewife.
father I so wish id been taught all of this ,to many people marry the wrong people because thy don't know themselves and accept someone unsuitable through lack of knowledge
I couldn't catch the name of the Bishop that he quotes in the end. I wrote out the quote but want to properly attribute it. Can anyone tell me the Bishop's name?
parents should pray for their children, I am not sure about someone pray for a future husband or wife. There is not assurance person is going to get married. Also this can become an obsession, person should grow spiritually and learn to fulfill his/her obligations at that time. Let the future to God. A person prepares for life and vocation by practicing virtue and trust God, pray the Rosary and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. believe me father, for many girls the future husband becomes an obsession.
It won’t stick if it’s not supposed to be. It’s more important for ppl to pray for their spouses of the future than ignore it’s plausibility of happening.
Not all police are good, there are tons of police that go against the constitution and force churches to close because of covid, or they let these foolish violent 'peaceful' protesters destroy businesses.... not all police are good, but naturally not all are bad either like these blms say
@@catholicfemininity2126 I never said all police are good. We are all hired from the human race, and we make human mistakes. However, I highly doubt you have any frame of reference to assert “tons” are bad. The police didn’t force churches to close. The bishops did that, and as far as the rioters that destroyed businesses comment…that shows an alarming ignorance of the dynamics of riotous situations and how to properly respond to them. The instances of police officers breaking the faith and doing the wrong thing are so incredibly small compared to the overwhelming, vast majority of officers who are dedicated, heroic public servants. That’s the problem I had with this uninformed, moronic statement from this priest. He should be ashamed of himself.
@@catholicfemininity2126 It’s amazing that some people still buy into the false narrative the media pumps out about the police. Stop believing the news and find out the truth. 🙄
The word family since when this begin and why holy family until now cannot stand the house / God pointed Mary and Joseph , Standing parents of Jesus ... That is formed of family or God symbol the Family...But why until now HOLY FAMILY CANNOT STAND AS CENTER PEOPLE FAMILY IN THIS WORLD....STAND FAMILY ONE....BUILD THE CHURCH HOLY FAMILY....
Not 100% sure, but it sounds like Fr James Altman. He usually is spot on, except for his ridiculous and irresponsible comment on the police in this one.
Your title suggests that Holy Families just don't happen i.e. they're IMPOSSIBLE (in this day and age). Which is NOT what you meant, right? So why not change the title to: Holy Families DON'T just "happen". (Spouses have to WORK on their family, with the help of Grace and with so many other essential "tools" of the Faith and of the Sacramental Life in the Church).
Depends, if a female specifically has had multiple sexual partners thou can be forgiven the repercussions are irreversible in a biological sense, such as not having the ability to be able to pair bond. And STDs
God makes everything new. Make sure she goes to confession and mass regularly throughout your relationship. People make mistakes. And in this day and age young people feel social pressure to commit awful sins whether they be against the 6th&9th commandments or drugs ect... not to say they are blameless but this world is a very difficult world to be holy in. Make sure that this isn’t still a problem though. Same the goes to men as well and, more importantly men that used to be attached to pornography. - that’s a really nasty thing that is much more easy to come back and haunt a relationship.
If I had heard sermons like this going to Novus Ordo masses, I wouldn't have wasted 10 years of my life as a Protestant!
Time never wasted, and never late to comeback... imperfection is everywhere but God Mercy is infinite.
It seems like we are not being fed by our priests at the Norvus Ordo Masses. We need this to happen at all Masses for all of us
If I had heard this at a novus ordo I wouldn't have wasted 10 years of my life sitting in my room dreaming about finding a man out of nowhere like they do in the movies.
If I spent my life blaming novus ordo mass for my faults, failings and sins.... I'd probably be a schismatic today, rather than a Catholic.

Thomas McIntyre wonderful example to the profession which has forgotten their purpose.
Mary God bless this wonderful man!
God bless to you and your wife, Sir!
Even my mother who was quite pro birth control Catholic talked against the excessive sterilization and the culture of death.
Thank you Reverend Father👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻and oh yeah 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for those who erroneously thumbed down.

Imagine hearing any of this from your pastor.
Don't imagine, pray for it.

Do not eat Our Lord's Body and take His Blood within yourself, not until you are baptized

Ill pray for intention. Stay strong!
Sometimes you have to be willing to take a good man w some bad faults. God works through his wife 🙌
So awesome of courting instructions, Father! I AM SHARING THIS VIDEO WITH MY ADULT CHILDREN. They are lucky to have your counsel.
Thanks for this!! Words of truth
That Was WONDERFUL!!!

1/3 have a vocation to priesthood or religious life??? Wow! I wouldn't have guessed it was anywhere near to that!
Father wolf! This is a classic
Amen.. beautiful 💝💖😇🤗
Your icon is beautiful
@@evaschroeder4614 Thank you 🥰
Dominus Vobiscum.
Wow. REALLY?? “Being abused by the police”??? This is absolutely irresponsible of a priest to say. He ruins an otherwise great homily. I’m disgusted.

Amen
Would like to know how to get higher education without going into deep debt ?
The title of this should read, "Holy families don't just happen". To say "Holy families just don't happen", is to imply they never do.
No such thing as a vocation to the singlehood.. That's what many priests say.
Can anyone tell me the priests name please
Not 100% sure, but it sounds like Fr James Altman. He usually is spot on, except for his ridiculous and irresponsible comment on the police in this one.
@@TheBadTrad Hi. I can confirm that it’s not father James Altman. I too want to know who it is!
@@honorakenney2844 Thanks for clarifying. Whoever it is, he’s got a pretty thick Midwest accent, that’s for sure!
Why do you want to know?
This is father wolf.

What should be done if you partner has lost virginty to someone else , should she be forgiven?
Elton Fernandes yes 77 times you must forgive x
Depends, if a female specifically has had multiple sexual partners thou can be forgiven the repercussions are irreversible in a biological sense, such as not having the ability to be able to pair bond. And STDs
Look at Mary Magdalene. All can be made pure and whole with the grace of God.
God makes everything new.
Make sure she goes to confession and mass regularly throughout your relationship.
People make mistakes.
And in this day and age young people feel social pressure to commit awful sins whether they be against the 6th&9th commandments or drugs ect...
not to say they are blameless but this world is a very difficult world to be holy in.
Make sure that this isn’t still a problem though.
Same the goes to men as well and, more importantly men that used to be attached to pornography. - that’s a really nasty thing that is much more easy to come back and haunt a relationship.
No kissing? No holding hands? No long loving looks? Are we asking too much??
You can do all that AFTER marriage, why do you need it now if it puts you at risk for offending God and sinning mortally??
Yes , you can kiss, shame
A quick peck, with no feeling, it's dangerous
Farming is great! I know of a rapper who quit rapping to be a farmer.
