Father, I love watching your show on EWTN. You are extremely knowledgeable in how to pray, and listen to God's Word. Thank you for your ministry. You are a great Shepherd and your flock loves you so.
I love Fr. Gallager! He has helped me so much since returning to the Catholic Church last year. This talk was new to me and I'm so grateful. I have recently started watching Chris Stephanik and really am enjoying these podcasts.
…but he doesn’t have kids. They can sure throw you into a tizzy. Ha! Seriously, I agree with you though. Each of person, no matter their calling in life, has challenges that can throw us off balance. He mentions technology and funding a balance. If we weren’t listening to this podcast, we couldn’t even enter into this discussion with one another. I agree, the gratitude list is soooo important. Remembering all the ways I have been loved can send me into the most loving frame of mind. What a great way to spend the day.
My suggestion 📌During Lent let’s remember not to let your past failures and mistakes define you; and tomorrow is promised to nobody. It’s what you do and what you are today that counts. So do ✝️ Gods work daily, avoid sin and become a Saint 1-day at a time and you will sleep well every night as a bonus. 🙏Prayer, confession, and Holy Communion will help you on your daily journey to become the best version of yourself.
I start my day everyday with my coffee and my Father’s 1954 Missal❤️ it’s so peaceful. I also say all my prayers and say the Rosary before I go to work. It’s changed me and my life and I can see the graces flowing to my husband and our 5 children. I started this 3 years ago. Nothing else can bring me peace like this no matter what struggles I am going through! God is amazing! As I say to our kids, ask God what to do when you have a problem. The one who made you definitely has the answer!! 😊❤️🙏🏻
We put my son into Catholic school this year, 1st grade, and we've also made lifestyle changes that work in harmony with his education. I didn't know how to make faith/prayer habits into our family because i didn't have that as a child. My son has fears at night and we've worked praying for peace and protection into our nightly routine, and we have a small "A Saint a Day" book that leads us into a quiet time before sleep. When he has extra trouble getting to sleep, I read his new children's Bible. Sometimes I go for the long genealogies, sometimes Psalms, sometimes it's random, or something he learned in school. More times than not, there has been something special that stands out. Sometimes, it's the same or related passage that we would hear in a weekday mass the next time we go. Amazing how small things can build great things.
Teach your son about the the guardian angels and the job they have of protecting us. The first prayer I ever remember praying was the Hail Mary. I must’ve been only three or four, but I remember repeating each line after my mother. Her eyes were closed and I knew she was talking to someone I couldn’t see. I continued this practice with my own children and we always ended our nighttime prayers with,”keep our family in the circle of your love always and chase the devils away in the name of Jesus.”
Thank you for having Father Gallagher, he is so peaceful and calm when he speaks. Spend 15 minutes less watching Tik Tock videos, You Tube the rosary, start with a decade. Thank you for your Podcast
I’ve been going through a very difficult time I went to mass and asked God to help me make a decision I needed to make. This was exactly what I needed. And I’ve had Fr’s Spiritual Discernment Book for years, given to me and never read it. But will be. Thanks so much
Love looks like,,, Jesus in a great crowd and we say " God do you really see me? And His gaze lands on our thought. His Love pierces our heart as His eyes meets ours, all doubt is gone forever.
Be still. Meditation is more of a Being than a doing. You don't have to know anything or do anything in order to Be. Beingess is silently welcoming, peaceful and Joyful. Beingness is one with God. It is the ego-mind that causes all the trouble. It has no power of it's own. It is I who gives it power when I unwittingly buy into it.
Maybe I’m going overboard I listen to Bible in a Year, Catechism in a Year, a daily mass podcast, other short Catholic podcasts, and say a rosary. Thank God for Podcasts and earbuds! Thank you
I love Ignatius spirituality. I found myself doing an examine prayer during mass this evening g. And God showed me how I fell 4 times . This has been happening and I found it has made every word of the mass more important than ever before. The examine was short quick reflection with four venial sins. I had ample time to ask God's forgiveness before receiving communion but it was awesome to feel to loved after such a long hard day. Thank you Fr Tim Gallagher and Chris Stephanic for bringing to light the gift of God's hand in the real presence of the eucharistic in this series.
THANK YOU! OVERJOYED WITH TEARS after watching this along with other series on Discernment! My heart is fed. My spirit is fed. My mind is fed. Currently on Week 4 recovering home from knee replacement surgery. Discerning, praying, listening. MANY THANKS!
Thank you gentlemen, this was very good and I'm intrigued to see the other writings by Fr. Gallagher! Very helpful insight, and I thank the Holy Spirit for bringing like minded friends together! God is always good. God Bless you all! 🌅🕊️✝️
Chris Stefanick, thank you for the work that you are doing. I have a request. When an Interviewee is speaking please don't interrupt with you comments. E.g. let Fr. Timothy Gallagher complete what he is explaining. You carry away his matter which sometimes remain incomplete or we get distracted with your trend of thought and miss out. Please interrupt less is my request to you.
It was providence that made me stumble upon your podcast. I would like to deepen my relationship with God and did not know where to start. So. Thank you
This was a gift from Abba to me just now. I have the presence of God most of the time but working on a set apart for just listening and going deeper with God
What happens if you feel that God isn't responding, and that He doesn't love you, or you don't see anything He's done for you, that day, but make things impossibly frustrating? Or if something horrible happens, and He allows it? I am normally a devout person, but I've gone thru these rough patches, and it's something to consider. I wish I had better ways to work thru these times. Im in such a place, lately. My communication with God has been horrible. Thanks for reading.
One thing: "The Holy Spirit (better than saying, :the Spirit") will lead us..." The Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) needs to be understood as a, He - the 3rd Divine Person of the Holy Trinity. Spirit can be applied to so many things, but the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person and should be remembered as such.
For someone who is bipolar and those with mental illness in general, this is far too much to do and causes a lot of stress which only makes matters worse. I can do some of this but many could not do it at all. The Rosary and the St Michael prayer and chaplet are good for those whom this way would be stressful. It would be nice if we were not left out!
Wonderful interview just what I needed to realise how luck I am to have my faith. Please where can I get father Gallagher book on spiritual decrement... 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Many view priests as kind of soft or even effeminate It just hit me that true priests are probably the most masculine guys out there Why? They deny themselves and renounce the world in a way that is NOT EASY and most men could never do it That "softness" is really humility that shines through. It gets people so confused because pride is mainstream How deceiving appearances can be The world is indeed upside down
Maybe you need a job with better pay so you have time to spend in prayer. Or even on a lunch break five minutes per break. In your car on the way to work.
After praying, be still and listen. I feel disappointed that i never hear men of the cloth teaching powerful prayers anywhere .its as if they want us not to be successful in our prayers.
This guy’s agitated disturbances and interruptions just show loud and clear the gigantic lack of spiritual recollection necessary to host a guest like fr Galagher, he treated this as if he is talking to his backyard neighbor and made no valuable spiritual points anytime he made an interjection. Augustine Institute is solid, this host is somewhat immature in many ways. Please take it as constructive criticism.
Institute of Spirituality Management...😊👍✨Hmm. 🤔 This is a Niche Thought by me. Which requires Crowd Funding. Else Secular Public will be taken for a ride in the name of God to Blind Believes & Superstition.
The Gospel of Mark, that was written CE 66-74 bookends Jesus’ baptism and death with reflective declarations. At the baptism there is a voice from heaven: “You are my Son” and at the crucifixion a gentile centurion, says, “Truly this man was the Son of God”; the Spirit descends like a dove at baptism, and gives up the ghost at death, both have references to Elijah, and the heaven being torn asunder, and the Temple curtain is torn. Mark is written is three parts, with layered themes in each part to reinforce teaching. Mark seems to be a retelling of stories about Elisha, Moses, eg, Moses parts the sea and crosses; Jesus calms the sea and crosses. Mark also redacts Psalms, eg, Mark 15 34 “my god, why have you forsaken me” from Psalm 22 1 “my god, why have you forsaken me.” This is written as a foundation story or Myth and not history.
@@gdiaz9927 foreshadowing? Why not writing drawing on previous texts to asset authenticity But if you are correct: that is an awful lot of foreshadowing. About every word uttered by Jesus is taken from Hebrew text. The story is essentially a retelling of Moses and Joshua story, with quite a bit reminisces of the Ilid. What are the odds this is history as oppose the fiction based on myths. You would at least need some irresistible evidence of the historical events. Yet not a solitary Chronicle from the classic era describes Jesus, mission or miracles. This would be like believing Adam and Eve, Noah and Abraham were real people. I assume you except they were mythical which accords with Roman Catholic teaching.
@Russell Miles what roman catholic are you affiliated with because that information you wrote is definitely not Traditional Catholic teaching. And there is definitely proof of Jesus, and especially His Crucifixion. And lastly, there were hundreds of witnesses to ALL OF IT. Same as there being witnesses to any other events in past years. They didn't have cameras & videos obviously. Not sure of what type of proof you may be looking for but there's information out there on biblical times etc..
@@jusme2888 I married a pretty Irish lass. I learnt this stuff as an adult. I buried my wife and middle son according to Roman Catholic rites. The Church instructs that the Bible contains myths, legends and truth, which we much look to the Church leadership to understand. Adam and Even, Noah's Ark, Abraham, Joshua, the Tribes of Israel (of which there are 14 listed) are considered mythical stories with meaning. As for Jesus; the Sermon on the Mont is set early in Jesus’ mission in Galilee. However, this text relies on the Septuagint text showing it originated in Greek, not Hebrew or Aramaic. It draws on the Greek text of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. For example, the section on turning the other cheek and other aspects of legal pacifism “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” (Matthew 5.38-42) has been redacted from the Greek text of Isaiah. 50.6-9. “I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard. I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting”. The literary structure of the Sermon can only have arisen from written text, not from spoken word. The Sermon on the mount is unlikely to come from a historical Jesus, but more likely text reflecting revelation and considered thought of early Christian scholars and leaders. As for eyewitness: neither Paul or Clement describe anything about Jesus's mission, family, preaching: only Revalation drawing on Hebrew texts. The Gospels are written anonymously and Mark the earliest is dated a generation after the story is set. It is also a retelling of Moses, Jacob and other classic stories. There word attributed to Jesus come from early texts.
When listening to Fr. Timothy, my whole being calms down. So kind and gentle. Love these topics!! Thank you.
You are a huge blessing Fr. Timothy. God bless you.

He really is.

Thank you. Thank you.
I have to remember God speaks to us in a whisper so I,we have to quiet my,our thoughts so we, can hear GODS whisper 🙏🏻Thank you Chris,and Fr Timothy
Excellent! Making it "easier for God" to pour His Grace into our hearts......easier for us to receive God⚘Thank you!
A very peaceful voice and personality. Thank you for sharing this wonderful message.
I love his quiet calm voice
I aspire for that kind of calm charisma.
Love looks like,,, Jesus in a great crowd and we say " God do you really see me? And His gaze lands on our thought. His Love pierces our heart as His eyes meets ours, all doubt is gone forever.
This was great, Fr Timothy is an example of the peace I am looking for. I will be sharing.
When Jesus looks upon us, He loves us. 🌷🌱
THANK YOU for continuing these interviews. I praise God for them and you both!
Been listening to Fr Timothy on the Discerning Hearts free APP. I learned about it here. Thank you both so much ❤
The Oxford Group had a wonderful explanation on How to Listen To God, very easy to understand and follow.
Fr Timothy & Chris thank you so much another spiritual input on meditation. Salamat (thank you) again. God bless you more
Thank you Chris and Fr. Timothy, for all this information and advice, very grateful I found this channel
Dispose ourselves to receive the grace of prayer....🙏🙏🙏
Nice listening to you as you educate and inspire us to do God’s Will in our prayer life❤😊
You are so amazing!! Wow!! What must that be like to have you for a daddy!! Thanks so much for giving us your time!!
Thank you. I think I'm doing all these.

May GOD continue to BLESS you. AMEN. 🎁💝🙏⭐️🕊🎉🎶🌷🎈
Ohh yesss give it to me!
16:00 The way that Jonathon Roumie looks at the leper in The Chosen-- is so beautifully reminiscent of that 'look'-- from Jesus himself..
It was providence that made me stumble upon your podcast. I would like to deepen my relationship with God and did not know where to start. So. Thank you
So absolutely amazing. Thank you!
Amen! 😇😇😇
Very inspiring message! SHARE More and more with Gracious GOD’s presence/experience

Loved this ❤
❤❤❤
How do I do morning prayer?????????? I like praying much in my evening 😇🙏🏻✝️
Please could you list the books by Father Gallagher mentioned in this interview? Thank you! :)

How do I find this book on spiritual discernment. I’m sure that the Holy Spirit guides me but I d love to read this book
Could you connect me with this spiritual director if it's possible please sir.
I have tried meditation in vain.
Thanks.
Can I spend 15 minutes a day?? If I spent only that amount in prayer I could never go to work
Maybe you need a job with better pay so you have time to spend in prayer. Or even on a lunch break five minutes per break.
In your car on the way to work.
What little book?
Why aren’t there captions? 😞
I didn't take Howard Stern for the religious type.
After praying, be still and listen. I feel disappointed that i never hear men of the cloth teaching powerful prayers anywhere .its as if they want us not to be successful in our prayers.
The spot lights and blue panel in the background are very distracting.
