Today Is the Feast Day of Saint Josaphat Bishop and Martyr: Saint Josaphat was born of Orthodox Parents in Volhynia Ukraine in the Year 1580. He became a Catholic of the Byzantine Rite and a Monk. Ordained to the Priesthood and chosen Bishop of Pollock Poland He worked faithfully for the Unity of the Church. Enemies of an angry mob plotted His death, and He was Martyred in the Year 1623. He was the Great Martyr to the Cause of Unity. Saint Josaphat Bishop and Martyr Pray For Us. Thank You Father James Smith & God Bless!
@@peterzinya1 Careful with what you say. Not only is St Pio's miracles in the thousands - where's yours? - but 3 persons I know have had supernatural experiences with this great Saint, and these encounters brought all 3 of these souls into the Church and thus salvation. I myself have read 5 different books written about St Pio, 2 of which were comprised of letters of those who had received cures, or had strange encounters. There is absolutely NO mention of 3 days of darkness by St Pio; at least not in those 5 books. He does, however, send people to St Michael's grotto, which means he believes St Michael did appear there. But 3DD, no. Fatima, yes, big time. So do your homework before you badmouth someone. I will, however, join you, if you want to badmouth the current heretic wearing white and termite-ing church doctrine. But not St Pio, please.
@@veredictum4503 You catholics hold men in esteem. Its a cult of personality. That fraud Pio would burn his hands with cabonic acid. Its a dry power he would buy at a pharmacy. Then he would always hold up his hands for all to see how he shares in the Lords crucifixion. And you idolatrous catholics lap it up. (;-D Then you idolize this idiot Faustina who says shes been to heaven and hell. Well, i can guarantee you shes back in hell now. She waiting for you.
No mention of the 3 days of darkness in the church’s public revelation the New Testament nor Councils nor Early father nor Councils. The likely hood that God chose to suppress this truth for so long to a private revelation is unlikely not saying impossible but improbable yes. 4:53

Not only is the rapture not Catholic teaching, it is a misinterpretation of scripture…. it actually says the wicked will be plucked from the earth, not the good guys
Father, isn’t the goal to be part of the Church (bride of Christ) and already be inside the door before it is locked, rather than being a brides maid on the outside of the door?
A Protestant theologian said rapture is in the Latin Vulgate Catholic, bible he showed us the actual word rapture in the Latin bible..on tv also during a 11 year revival in the Catholic Church starting in 1957 we were taught about the rapture we had sermons in the 50s and 60s at my Catholic Church about the rapture I remember father Val and 1968 gave a sermon on the rapture in which he believed in the bishop believed in it father Monsignor donahoe who ram Saint Agnes believed in it, and and so did the nuns in their long habits teaches about the rapture and they taught us this during this 11 year revival with the influence of the holy Spirit during our revival.. the church taught us it's in our Catholic Bible and the lord gave me a vision dream that it is real there's your confirmation three... Ps. And this was all talked to us during an 11-year revival in the Catholic Church starting around 1957 with the influence of the holy spirit... The more I listen to you modern Catholics you have a lot of ecumenical garbage in you and very modern and different beliefs than us true traditional bible-believing Roman Catholics and yes I am under the pope I've always been a Roman Catholic and not a modern liberal Catholics like you guys..
I was taught "Resurrection " not "rapture "...1 Corinthians 15:40-42 40There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one thing, and that of the earthly is another. 41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; indeed, star differs from star in glory. 42So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable
We Are Not Subject to the Wrath of God: (Not All Will Sleep) The Dead in Christ Shall Rise First: Then We Which Are Alive and Remain Shall Be Caught Up Together with Them in The Clouds to Meet the Lord in The Air.
Rapture belief that Our Lord actually will return secretly to call up believers. So that would be The Second Coming. Plus, He will come again at the end. If your counting - That’s 3 arrivals of Jesus. Not Biblical. He came quietly once as a babe in the manger. Next time will not be quiet. “Every eye will see Him”. Rev 1:7. “For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matt 24:27 One reason why we worship towards liturgical east, or ad Orientem. Or we should….
Your Absolutely Right on Brenda Weltner's Website explained the Eschatology of the Book of Revelation and She spoke of the 3 Arrivals of Jesus Christ. God Bless!
Well, the Protestant version is not true teaching is true, but St Paul mentions Christians are not appointed to wrath, so just before Gods wrath by fire occurs at the start of the Day of the Lord, it is written Christians will be taken and Gathered up out of the world into Gods barn or Heaven just prior to this by the Angels of God. This is what the parable of the tares and the wheat is about and is what John the Baptist mentions - "His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.” Christ on this also says "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, first gather together the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn". Christ mentions His 2nd coming will be like lots day also - in that he and half his family were taken out of Sodom just before it was burnt up in Gods wrath by fire by Gods Angels. The other half were left in Sodom as Lot had 2 married and 2 unmarried daughters. The 2 married with their husbands stayed in Sodom. This matches Christs parable of the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins - 5 were taken and 5 left and agrees with what Early Chuirch Father Irenaeus says “And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be. For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome, they are crowned with incorruption.”
1. Jesus will be coming back to earth one more time not two. (1 Thessalonians 4:15, Matthew 24:27). 2. Jesus must stay in heaven until that time. (Acts 3:19-21). 3. When He comes, He will be coming all the way down to the earth. (Acts 1:9-11). 4. When He comes, He will be coming to judge the living and the dead. (Matthew 25:31-46).
it's in the Catholic vulgate Latin bible, they taught us about the rapture in the 1950s and 60s and gave sermons about the rapture in the Catholic Church, confirmations come in three it's in the Catholic bible, the church taught us about it, and God gave me a vision dream about it so it's real....... PS father Val gave a sermon on the rapture in 1968 at Saint Agnes church and Monsignor donahoe believed in the rapture he ran Saint Agnes Church in our Bishop believed in the rapture so I don't know where you're coming from I think you are a modern more liberal Catholic theology ours was really Roman Catholic in Jesus name..
Not trying to pick a fight, and I don't know enough. But I do know that 3 Days of Darkness is not just 1 visionary, but instead about 10 or 12. Surely 10 or 12 visionaries can't all be wrong? Especially when they proved correct in other areas. Also, a similar darkness did occur with Moses and Pharoah, so why can't it re-occur? Ok I haven't heard Jimmy Akin, I could be wrong, but I'm a bit suspicious about him. Early on he tried to "shoe-horn" a Calvinist 'TULIP' philosophy and say parts of it is ok with Catholicism. I stopped listening to him then. I would trust Tim Staples and Dr Brant Pitre and Dr John Bergsma more.
If it's in the Catholic Bible the word rapture then it's in their father, I'm sorry you're wrong about this, it's not the teaching now because you're talking about two different churches it's liberal now and my days it was traditional, at least the Protestants got it right.. ps. You were taught wrong..
Hmmmmm. I kind of feel like he’s asking us not to think…..Not to come into our own relationship with biblical teachings. The truth is, we will not know if we will meet Jesus in the clouds pre-tribulation unless and until it happens. We are encouraged to focus on Jesus 100%. But we are also told that we are not meant for wrath (Thessalonians 5:9-10). Everyone does their best to interpret the heck out of the harpazo (rapture/harpazo/caught-up) Thessalonians 4:17……Yes, it’s in the Bible; but we won’t know until the glorious coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are encouraged to remain hopeful. ✝️
The rapture is biblical. We are not appointed to wrath which is the upcoming tribulation or Jacob’s Trouble. The gospel also changes back to the gospel of the circumcision. Today our salvation gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Saved by grace through faith alone! Ephesians 2:8-9
So sad to hear a Catholic priest calling the ancient Israelites “Jews”. This one error is the cause of much suffering, death and destruction of the Catholic Orthodox Church. It’s shameful.

I'm Catholic and this is a very bad homily. If you know the Bible this should have turned your stomach. As Catholics we may not call it "the rapture"but we believe in every word of the Bible. Do you know that they get the word rapture from the latin word rapio? That means to be seized/snatched away (kept out of or taken away from). Today's translation says "to be caught up." I laugh when they say rapture is not in the Bible. If you are dead or alive at the time God comes for His bride....we believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. You pray the prayer at mass. This is what we believe! In the twinkling of an eye we shall be changed the Bible says. Are you ready for the great moment of rapio whenever it shall be? Are we preparing ourselves and having those lamps lit for the return of Christ? Be careful of what they are "debunking" in these last days. The Bible says there will be days when the Sun will be darkened and the moon will not shed it's light. The Bible says there will come a time when they will fail to preach sound teaching. Leading you astray. Do you not see the church getting rid of good priests and even Bishops who stand for the truth? Who really know the word of God and preach it? Be careful of those who will quote you the Bible and then tell you what they just read is a lie?! Or tell you that age old Catholic mystics were a bunch of liars and story tellers. Lord Jesus, may you yourself prepare in the wilderness of our hearts....the path of your return.
We are sorry you believe this is a bad homily, but the Catholic Church clearly does not subscribe to the Protestant concept of the rapture, as varied as it is. We do believe every word in the Bible, but every word is not intended to be taken literally. As Catholics, we should embrace Catholic teaching of both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, rather than the Protestant view of Sacred Scripture that is based on Protestant tradition. You may want to visit Catholic answers and review the analysis of the rapture that was performed by a number of Catholic theologians based on Catholic teaching.

“The Rapture is not Catholic teaching,” but it is instead BIBLICAL teaching. Fortunately for us, the rapture is real, and is pre-tribulational. For those of you here of the Catholic denomination, just like this gentleman is wrong about the rapture, as is the Catholic denomination, apparently, you have also been mislead to believe you need an interceder (I.e., a priest) to commune with God and that you must confess your sins to that interceder (and do penance) to obtain forgiveness. Please know this is wrong, and cease robbing Christ of the honor He deserves, which he earned on the cross by being submissive to the Father’s will, even unto death. Turn away from this delusion,and other non-Biblical “Catholic “teachings,” read the Bible for yourself, and prayerfully seek Godly understanding. Jesus is your interceder…seek Him while he may be found, and enjoy the rich and generous blessings He freely gives us, because He loves us, not because we have earned them.
Do you even read the Bible ? Or just repeat things other people say ? Where do think the Bible came from ? Who wrote the New Testament, and who decided which books would be in it ? Have you read John’s Gospel ? If you did, you would know that Our Lord gives His Apostles the power to forgive or retain sins - John 20:20-22.

Three days of darkness isn’t biblical . And our Protestant brothers and sisters are victims of wrong perceptions about Catholicism

2. Jesus must stay in heaven until that time. (Acts 3:19-21).
3. When He comes, He will be coming all the way down to the earth. (Acts 1:9-11).
4. When He comes, He will be coming to judge the living and the dead. (Matthew 25:31-46).

For those of you here of the Catholic denomination, just like this gentleman is wrong about the rapture, as is the Catholic denomination, apparently, you have also been mislead to believe you need an interceder (I.e., a priest) to commune with God and that you must confess your sins to that interceder (and do penance) to obtain forgiveness. Please know this is wrong, and cease robbing Christ of the honor He deserves, which he earned on the cross by being submissive to the Father’s will, even unto death. Turn away from this delusion,and other non-Biblical “Catholic “teachings,” read the Bible for yourself, and prayerfully seek Godly understanding. Jesus is your interceder…seek Him while he may be found, and enjoy the rich and generous blessings He freely gives us, because He loves us, not because we have earned them.
Amen, time is short.
Do you even read the Bible ? Or just repeat things other people say ?
Where do think the Bible came from ? Who wrote the New Testament, and who decided which books would be in it ?
Have you read John’s Gospel ? If you did, you would know that Our Lord gives His Apostles the power to forgive or retain sins - John 20:20-22.
Protestant brother Read the Bible in context and you can see and read for yourself the rapture doctrine is false.

You're completely wrong. The rapture is a silly notion dreamt up by some silly preacher in about 1830.
Thank you Father James,God bless 🙏🕊➕
