- Reverend Father Mark Bryan Beard, delivered his last Sunday homily 30 July 2023, in front of the low altar at the Church of Saint Helena, 122 South 1st Street, Amite, Louisiana, U.S.A.. This video presents excerpts from 4 of many homilies he delivered during the period of January - May 2023.
Father Beard never made it to 80 or 90 years of age. He was 62. Pray now for the first intercesssory miracle. This channel is operated by a supporter of the cause of Servant of God Rhoda Wise: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoda_Wise If you remember, Reverend Mother Angelica, PCPA, foundress of the Eternal Word Television Network, experienced a life-changing miracle as a result of encountering Rhoda Wise.
Addressing many pressures experienced by millions today, Rev. Fr. Mark Beard was an irrepressible preacher for Jesus Christ. On 2 August 2023, Fr. Beard was returning from speaking at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Retreat Center in Chatawa, MS, when, heading south on Interstate 55 near the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, he crested a hill, and suddenly saw that traffic was backed up, and instead of injuring or killing others, tried to take a safe path off the road. At about 1:00 p.m. his vehicle left the roadway and went into the median before striking a concrete culvert, causing his vehicle to overturn.
Fr. Beard was pastor of Saint Helena Catholic Church. He earned a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Louisiana State University and a Master’s in Divinity from Notre Dame Seminary. He also received a certification in Spirituality (Spiritual Direction), and Divinity. Rev. Father Beard worked for a number of years in his family’s business, Beard Engineering and United Industries, a company working in the manufacturing and engineering of wastewater equipment. Here, he received a patent for the Turbulence Control System. After a trip to Medjugorje in 2000, he began to consider priesthood as a possible vocation. After 4 years of discernment, Fr. Beard entered Notre Dame Seminary, New Orleans, Louisiana in 2004 and was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, Louisiana on May 30, 2009, at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph. He served the diocese as Associate Pastor at The Church of the Most Sacred Heart in Gramercy, The Church of St. Joseph in Paulina, The Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Convent, and at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Chapel in Lutcher for two years. He was pastor of Saint Helena Catholic Church, in Amite, Louisiana, for the last twelve years.
He was predeceased by his father Harold James Beard. He is survived by his mother Florence Mariotti Beard; his brother Gary Beard (Diane); his nephews, Jason, Nathan, Nicholas, Jacob and Jon; his niece Jennifer; his great-niece Gabriella Beard; and his godmother Nita Vicari.
Visitation was held 10 August 2023 with a Memorial Mass at 11:00 a.m. in Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, 445 Marquette Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Visitation for family members and parishioners of Saint Helena Catholic Church was held in Saint Helena Parish Hall in Amite on 11 August 2023 with a Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. in St. Helena Church. Burial followed at Amite Memorial Gardens in Amite.

WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO CARRY EVERYTHING TO GOD IN PRAYER 😇🙏❤️🔥ETERNAL LIFE🐑 FATHER BEARDS HALLELUJAH 🤲 JESUS ❤SAVES💜💜 🕊🕊🕊
I've never heard a Priest as powerful a speaker as Father Beard. He speaks like Billy Graham in his homilies - and no, I am not calling him a Protestant - but he speaks loud and bold words - I just found him and now he's gone. He was a man on fire for the Lord, and His people. Praise God I found him - his homilies have much to teach me.
Some of the work of Saint Alphonsus Ligouri has been published, even in the last year the amount of material from his Sermons Throughout the Year has multiplied on the internet.

Wish we had more priests with this conviction
There are many world over. Priesthood of Christ is one. America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia has such kind of priests. The reason is simple. They are called by Jesus Christ their master and Saviour. Rev Fr Mark Beards was one of the witnesses to the truth.
Thank you Fr Mark!!

May God the Father wash Fr Mark with the precious blood of Jesus at His judgment and Perfect Contrition at his passing. .....
Pray this for Father Mark and all of our loved ones everyday.
There is no past with God. There is no future with God. There is only the eternal present with God, because God dwells outside of time and space. Every moment of our life is before God at all times even after our passing.

Looking from a distance at how the Holy Trinity works, I see that someone prayed for you, Jude, to prepare you to absorb into your being what Fr. Beard had to say. Someone prayed for Fr. Beard to be molded into the vessel that he turned out to be. The Holy Spirit was completely involved in the process. You had to yield to the Holy Spirit, and Fr. Beard had to yield to the Holy Spirit. Fr. Beard was an obedient vessel. You are now charged with remaining holy and continuing to seek the Will of God and to do the Will of God in your life. Amen? Amen!

Father Mark is truly one of a kind priest. We need more of his homily, and telling his parishioners the truth in order to save our souls at the end of our lives, that is what counts.

I feel like I'm hearing a saint speak. I wonder if he was military prior to seminary. Power.!
His statements, in light of the fact that six months later he died, are nothing short of miraculous...amazing and stunning...dts/usa
So very true. It's like the Lord and our Lady said, "Father, your time is short. Give it your all. He
SURELY did. HE SAW BEYOND, WHAT WAS WAITING HIM.
I love this priest
Rest in peace dear father ❤
I'am so Happy!! I found Father Beard although It was sad for me upon his passing. To those who did his video's From the bottom of my Heart, Thank you so much. 🙏💚☘

He was a gift to the world around him, and now his powerful message lives on. I found his homilies a few days before his passing, and I have offered up many communions for his soul. Again, what a gift he has been in my life as I shared his homilies with so many people. May he have the grace to be with JMJ in Heaven for all eternity for him to intercede for us. God rest his soul. ✝️🙏❤️
Jesus is the only one according to scripture that Intercedes on our behalf.
Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Thankful for the dedication, devotion,& diligence that bring uplifting words that give us strength to persevere when demonic attacks are so real and neverending.... I'm grateful I can hear God sent folks - we need reminders on our journey 🙏🌹 💜
Well said!
Great!
I am so sad he is gone. Happy for him, sad for us😢❤
He died the same way, my Uncle died😭😭😭💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹😭😭😭💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🌹🌹
Was your uncle's first name Robert? Anna Maria, may Our Lord continue to comfort you and guide you. Look to Jesus to direct you in fulfilling His Will for you each day. Amen!
Amen!!!!!!!
Why was Fr Mark taken so young when he was doing such excellent work for the Lord? Answer: God's ways are not Man's ways ..
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace Father🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He is in a league like that of Father John Corapi SOLT...a priest after the Heart of Jesus Christ.
I agree!
Beautiful sermon that i learn from you Father Mark that faith can not be neutral ? Neutral means that person is lukewarm ? Faith is like Yes or No ?
🙏❤️
THIS is what we need to forward, over and over and over again!!!! SALT! OIL for spiritual lamps!
So to whom are these donations routed? I would hate to see Father being used.
In the description of the video is a link to the main page of Saint Helena Church in Amite. On that page, on the left hand side, are some directions on how to donate. If, for any reason, you are not able to visit that page, the main phone number of the parish office is 985-748-9057. Ask for Laura Faust, (Administration). You may leave her a message by email at: laura@sthelenachurch.net
Due to all parish staff being overwhelmed with the events of last week, the staff will not be back in the office until August 21, 2023.
I am sending donations to Divine Mercy Shrine in Stockbridge Massachusetts where he loved St Faustina...JESUS I TRUST IN YOU ❤
17:25 if i tell people this day you will be in paradise, are they under no obligation to believe me, and usually don't. However as no one was taking notes, we do not know what jesus said..i doubt whether he would be chit chatting to his fellows across the way like they were at a saturday matinee movie or something...amen
Let's look at the whole picture. Crucifixion was and is the most gruesome and painful means of execution. 1,025 years before it was used on Jesus, BEFORE IT WAS EVEN INVENTED, King David wrote about Jesus' execution in this manner in Psalm 22.
The Romans desired to make execution in this manner as the greatest crime deterrent. They devised ways to speed up or keep the execution going slowly. Yes, there was plenty of time to, as you say, "chit-chat" while dying, as executions could go on for days, and I know my wife, when she is in tremendous pain will say things that she does not remember that she said. So I believe that Saint Dismas, the repentant criminal, said what he said, and Jesus said what he said, and both said what they said with immense sincerity.
Who were witness to this? In the Gospel of John we see the unnamed women, the mother of the Lord and her sister; and 2 women by the names of Mary of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
"Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene." (John 19:25)
As Luke the Apostle records in the Gospel of Luke, there were many women, but these stand prominently out, as having been most closely associated with Him:
"A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him." (Luke 23:27)
"But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things." (Luke 23:49)
The Apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke and John speak of the presence of the soldiers, and of the two malefactors crucified one on either side of Jesus.
The Apostles Matthew, Mark, and Luke draw special attention to the centurion in charge of the carrying out of the crucifixion, and they give some account of how he was impressed in the presence of the Jesus the Crucified.
According to Matthew he said, "Surely he was the Son of God" (Matthew 27:54)
According to Mark, "Surely this Man was the Son of God" (Mark 15:39)
According to Luke, "Surely this was a righteous Man" (Luke 23:47)
The presence of the chief priests is recorded by Matthew, Mark, and John with Luke making no reference to them. Matthew, Mark, and Luke refer to the scribes, elders, or rulers, comprising the Sanhedrin, while John ignores their presence.
"In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him." (Matthew 27:41)
"In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. 'He saved others,' they said, 'but he can’t save himself!'" (Mark 15: 31)
"The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, 'He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.'” (Luke 23:35)
"The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, 'He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.'" (John 19:21)
It was no accident that Jesus was crucified between 2 thieves. There are no accidents in a world that is governed by God. Much less could there have been any accident on that day, or in connection with that event of all events - a day and an event which lie at the very center of the world’s history. No, God was presiding over that scene. From all eternity He had decreed when and where and how and with whom his Son should die. Nothing was left to chance or the impulsiveness of man. All that God had decreed came to pass exactly as He had ordained, and nothing happened save as He had eternally purposed. Whatsoever man did was simply that which God’s hand and counsel "determined to be done" (Acts 4:28).
When Pilate gave orders that the Lord Jesus should be crucified between the two criminals, all unknown to himself, he was simply putting into execution the eternal decree of God and fulfilling His prophetic word. 700 years before Pilate gave his command, God had declared through the prophet Isaiah that Jesus should be "numbered with the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12). How utterly unlikely this appeared, that the Holy One of God should be numbered with the unholy; that the very one whose finger had inscribed on the tables of stone the Law should be assigned a place with the lawless; that the Son of God should be executed with criminals - this seemed utterly inconceivable. Yet, it actually came to pass. Not a single word of God can fall to the ground. "Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). Just as God had ordained, and just as He had announced, so it came to pass.
Someone please help me understand how a priest can be the High Priest and forgive us of our sins? I'm studying the catholic faith and want to know the answers but only backed up by Scriptures. Hebrews chapter 5 is speaking of Jesus as the Only High Priest. In my understanding, i can only determine that Jesus is the only one who can forgive someone of their sins.
I was waiting for others to jump in and explain this but apparently they are not. The Catholic faith says that Jesus’ priesthood was also given to men so that they could continue his earthly work of forgiving sins.
In the Gospel of John 20:19-23, it reads, “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
You have an excellent question which you should direct to either the priest or the deacon teaching your Order of Christian Initiation of Adults or RCIA class
Has it determined what caused his accident
Ir has been speculated that he may have had a medical emergency which resulted in his vehicle leaving the roadway and hitting the culvert.
Thank you. It has been on my heart that his car was electronically taken over, which caused the accident taking his life. He was extremely brave in speaking and standing for the truths of the Catholic faith, which did not sit well with those in opposition to the true teachings of the Catholic faith. An amazing faithful person to Jesus Christ
What is this donate? Is SOMEONE making $ off this hard working community???
Lou, do you donate food, clothing, time, energy, money to any organization? Behind the video, Saint Helena Catholic Church donated the use of the 4 videos for 1 purpose. I donated the time to edit the videos, the use of the software and hardware to put it together and to upload it. UA-cam donated and continues to donate the use of their software and hardware to both Saint Helena Catholic Church and myself to enable you to see the video in the format in which you watch it. You have an opportunity to donate to help the poor in another location on planet Earth. You do not have to donate. If you watch UA-cam without paying any subscriber fees AND without any ads coming across your viewing screen, that means multiple entities are spending their resources to put something before your eyes. Is someone making money off of Amite or Saint Helena Catholic Church with this video on this channel: no.
A homily should at most last for 10 minutes or a protestant gained His Church, pride that skirt.
