- Can you guess what 3 virtues are needed to grow close to God?
In his book, “Introduction to the Devout Life”, St. Francis de Sales lists patience, humility, and meekness as the most essential virtues to live holy lives devoted to God.
What makes these so important?
Patience gives us the ability to endure trials and suffering, humility helps us see ourselves as we truly are in relation to the greatness of God, and meekness calms our tempers so that we may show God’s peace to others.
Cultivating these virtues is just the beginning.
If you’d like to learn more about how exactly to devote your life to God, join Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand in reading “Introduction to the Devout Life” in the first season of Ascension’s newest podcast “Catholic Classics”!

1. Patience
2. Humility
3. Meekness
Thank you. You saved me 6 minutes 😂
Spoiler alert 🤣
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559 Didn't you mean "perish"? A parish is a church community of a diocese.😄
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559 Jesus also requires baptism to be saved. Spirit. John 3:5, Spirit
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Thank you Fr. I pray that everyone here can get closer to walking with Jesus.
I'm actually reading St. Francis de Sales' book Introduction to the Devout Life! This is such great timing! I highly recommend the book!
Hard to know the difference between suffering and feeling sorry for myself.
I didn’t get vaccinated nor wore a mask during these couple years of Covid. My sister (super strong liberal) told me I’m not welcome to come to her house for thanksgiving and Christmas because I wasn’t vaccinated. My brothers and her continue to exclude me even though they all had Covid. I feel incredibly sad about this. My feelings are really hurt. So it’s hard to know if it’s suffering or just feeling sorry for oneself.
I wouldn’t want to align myself incorrectly out of lack of self awareness.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this trial. I’d encourage you to discuss this situation with your priest so you may have peace. God bless! 🙏🙏
@Trump won (which he certainly did!) I'm unvaxxed as well, the same goes for most of my family so I haven't experienced what you're going through. For a family member to exclude you from their family functions because of a choice you made for your personal health is awful. They're obviously trying to bully you. Offer your suffering up to Jesus
Trump Won, Jesus said in reading from Luke's gospel 12:49-53 that came up few Sundays ago, that he had not come to bring peace but to cause division. A household of 5 will be divided 3 against 2. Father against son, and son against Father. Mother against daughter and daughter against mother. He also says in bible that if you suffer in Jesus's name you will be greatly rewarded by him. So be assured that God will support you. So pray for your family as you know the power of God can convert any mind and heart. God bless. 🙏
Maybe God is using their arrogance to shield you against getting Covid. As you pointed out, they got Covid anyway, but you didn't. You chose to trust Him to keep you safe and healthy. Let this trial bring you closer to Him. Praise Jesus, pray for them, and go on with your life.
It IS sad 😞 because your family is rejecting you. Jesus experienced rejection, remember? Stay true to Christ and He will never reject you.
Thank you 🙏🏿
My gosh, that starter. What is there not to love about this guy? lol
Jesus Christ, Increase my
1. Patience
2. Humility
3. Meekness
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirt.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end amen.
I hope you do more like this. This was great. More on suffering would be great.
I found this very helpful, thank you.
Goodness truth beauty
Yaay, I’ve been looking for new books to read. Love these new short episodes!
Catholic Classics sounds like it's going to be a great podcast! I can't wait! Thank you, Father!
One of my favorite books The Devout Life. So simple and chock full of wisdom that he makes easy to understand
I appreciate that the tabernacle is right behind you as you speak. You speak, I pray while you speak.
I thank God for these times because they awakened me out of a coma to realize there is Nothing except union with my Lord. 💓❣️👏☝️
I agree.
Same!
LOL, I love the comedy aspect, in the beginning, but thank you for the video Father.

Practicing gratitude to God is very helpful for me ❤
Father mike and Father pine on the same channel! 🎉
Very excited for the new podcast! God bless you guys !
Closer to God is the key to our Salvation. We are here to Know Love and Serve God. So this video and the coming audiobook will really help. Good to purchase book as backup.
By the way heard Humility described as not thinking less of ourselves. But think of ourselves less. And So others more.
I love the way you explained meekness. Something I really need to work on. Thank you Father.
Thank you. God bless you.
so pumped to see Fr Pine here! Cheers!
ST. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: “Why do you judge your neighbors? If you venture to judge them, having no authority to do it, it is yourself rather that will be condemned, because God’s law does not permit you to judge others.
Psalm 129:3: 'If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt, Lord, who would survive?'"
I have discovered a great way to get closer to Christ. Read his Word daily and do what it says.
This book is very dear to me and I’m really excited to go through it with a group! Thank you!!
recommend this channel to the CCD kids.
You have such a calming way of speaking. I enjoy listening to you. Thank you!

I listened to the introduction to the devout life on Catholic classics and it was awesome! Sorry, doing speech to text and I'm too lazy to put in punctuation, I'm sure you'll figure it out😂

✝️🕊😇❤️🔥🙏 As many virtues as it takes. You know it.
So we'll explained ❤
Pray to be conformed to the will of God .
Beautiful
LET'S GO!!!!!
'Poco a poco!' Gratias tibi.....
I am a catechist in my parish. This is quite relevant with my lesson tonight. I wish I watched this prior to our class. Anyway, I could always go back and revisit our lesson on virtues. (One other thing, Fr. Gregory, I noticed you have a bump on your forehead. Have you had a doctor looked at it?)
Very good.
How often have I heard the definitions of virtues while presupposing a god.
Cool! Has ascention adopted Fr Gregory now?
That poncho looks perfect to eat spaghetti.
Thanks, Fr. I just want to meet Jesus & not have him say "I did not know you..."
Same
Common Fr. Pine W
Thank you Fr. Who knows how to find the podcast pls?
It starts on October 24. I imagine more information is coming soon.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
Is the podcast available somewhere?
4days fasting...how do you do it fr gregory?
Are you related to Matt Frad? You guys look like brothers 😁
Looking forward to the new content!
The minute you know you're humble... You're not.
Does the devout life include contributing content to a vicious, twisted, bigoted UA-cam channel called Pints With Aquinas? A channel that features Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh and Candace Owens?
The return of Jesus Christ is likened to the coming of a thief in the night. Two passages use the wording “a thief in the night”: Matthew 24:43, “Understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into,” and 1 Thessalonians 5:2, “You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.” But for centuries now Christians have claimed that Christ's return is days away! So maybe Christ is coming like a Senior Citizen using a walker:) I jest. But seriously the honest question for Christians is...How long is a reasonable amount of time to wait until the return of Christ before humanity moves on to actual taking responsiblity to solving world problems without religious input? I haven't been able to get an honest answer on this from any Christian...they dodge it with bible verses...rationalizations. I know the question is an uncomfortable one because it makes you question your faith. But for Christianity to be true the return of Christ has to happen correct? I know all the answers that the bible gives...but again I am asking human being to human being how long is a reasonable time frame for the world to keep the belief in Christ's return? 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years? 10,000 years?
When He is ready thats when
is Fr. Gregory Pine OP?
Jesus said without me you can do nothing. Human works is against his calling. Many are called few choosen. Luther tried same he knew he not justified by the monastic Life.
Talking looks more difficult than usual for our thin tree friend.
Tell it to the Pope, Father.
THE GOSPEL
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also
ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
- 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJV
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13 KJV
SAVALATION
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- John 3:16 KJV
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
- John 14:6 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
- Mark 1:15 KJV
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
- John 3:36 KJV
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. 2 Timothy 1:9
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:22
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
- Romans 10:9-11 KJV
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
- Romans 10:13 KJV
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
