Praise be to Jesus Christ! How eternally grateful I am for all Our Lord has given me. He gave me the gift of salvation and put before me the Shepards to lead the way to Jesus. This sermon is so me right now. Suffering from Thyroid Cancer and following removal of my Thyroid I have slowed down so much. It is difficult to accept, how I once moved, I can no longer do. Lord Jesus Christ son of the living God I offer it all to you. I love you so much! Thank you for giving me the gift of life! I only pray that Jesus remember s me in his Kingdom. All Praise, Glory an Honor is yours Jesus my Lord.
What perfect timing for this message to come to me. I'm going through the mud right now in my life living with an alcoholic and God is telling me through you that I must be patient humble and persevere and he will answer my prayers. Thank you Father Mark
Your miracles, Lord, still astound us; green leaves turn to fall color; long days lose time; flowers wilt only to sprout again next spring; and then there's the odd moment of clarity when we know, without doubt, Your love for us is real...You exist. You live!
May I add that perseverance is necessary in all aspects of life. I crashed my Harley on the highway a couple months ago, I wound up with a total shoulder replacement surgery, I was doing my physical therapy exercises while listening to this wanting the whole time to quit You inspired me to persevere Fr. Mark,, thank you
Aw…keep pressing on dear! Never quit. Sometimes when it get hard foe me, I get angry, then the anger motivates me. Weird, I know, but I do get things done and never give up. God speed ✝️
Life is a valley of tears but our Blessed Mother will always hold our hand as we walk through it. Thank you Father Mark for your insight. Viva Cristo Rey!
This has been my prayer, to persevere but also to receive God's grace so I don't stall. I'm having a little health issue that hinders me as caregiver to my 90 year old Mother. Your truck in the mud analogy Is a good message. I DO know how to drive out of mud and snow and up a steep hill, just relax and take it slower. 😊
Our Lord urges perseverance in FAITH.✝️ When I was growing up, I heard, "patience is a virtue." And it IS! Thanks Fr.Mark for a great message. God bless you & May His peace be with you. ✝️💜
May the Holy Spirit will continue to shower you Father, as your deep reflections help me ( sinner & weak soul) to be reminded to persevere & overcome obstacles as following the path to our Dear Lord! Thank you for being a faithful priest, God Bless you more~
Yes we do have to keep going! Keep pushing forward, no matter what our struggles may be, God is with us and we can do all things w/Jesus by our sides💗 We must always remember that Christ lives in each and every one of us. God's strength not our own!💪✝️
A great analogy, wise and true. Some hours or days it does feel like we need a tow, need to be winched out of the mess we've landed ourselves in. Thanks be to God we have our Lord, in His mercy and compassion, by the Sacraments he makes Himself available to us, and even if we are genuinely not able to partake due to war or oppression, He is with us always.
Great message! These days it's hard to keep going at times when everywhere you look in the world there's chaos and destruction on so many different levels. Got to persevere until God calls us home!
It would be great to know Fr. Gorings, mom, because she gave us a gift , her son! how beautiful of a soul is Fr.Goring, he is the salt of the Earth!❣💞💞😿
Thank You Father for this encouraging Homily. I am a mama of five,( four are young adults)from California. My husband and I have been married for 35 years and right now we are going through a difficult season spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Hearing this homily brought me so much peace and encouragement to not give up. Because sometimes I feel like our prayers aren’t even being heard or answered.🙏🏼🙌🏼
♥️ “To begin is easy; to persevere is sanctity.” - St. Josemaria Escriva Beautiful and encouraging homily!! ♥️ Thank you Father Mark. Loved your pick-up truck analogy. God bless you always!! ♥️ “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12) ♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️
Father Mark I am so grateful for this sermon. My life seems to be stuck in the mud and I have read a couple books concerning perseverance, but you put it into words we can reflect on in our own lives. Great job Father. Thank you so much! I needed to hear this. Now, to ask the Lord for the grace to keep going. Amen!
Amen. 🙏 Amazing! 🔥 Thank You Father Mark. May God Bless You, Always 🙏💙🌼🕊️ "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." ~2 Corinthians 4:18 🙏📖🌼🕊️
Excellently well said, Father. There are valuable lessons, vital to our spirit, hidden in Nature everywhere. The lush overabundance and ease of Hawaii shows us how we can be snared by sloth and pleasure; while the parched, hot, rocky, and snake infested desert can reveal beauty and wisdom unsurpassed. Perseverance and our love and trust in God will win for us revelations that will shape and enrich us beyond understanding. If one thinks they're on the road to Paradise, and all they're doing is traveling at 100k down a smooth road... well, guess what? That's not the road to Heaven.
@@lindahall3546 The north coast of Maui is spectacular and lush. Plus it has an amazing inactive volcano at around 8,000 feet. You wouldn’t believe the black, smooth crater.
Thank you for this timely reminder, Fr. Mark, a really helpful homily! I was touched by the first reading at Mass this morning, from St. Paul to the Ephesians 4:1-6 where he says as the last sentence: “There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God who is Father of all, over all, through all, and within all.” Humble , patient perseverance is key to the spiritual life because everything is governed by the Lord, and our lives have to be lived at His pace. God bless you Fr. Mark 🙏🏻
Our Lady will grant us the grace of perseverance to please our Lord! Ask and it will be given. Low gear in grace to attain everything in life to the glory of God! God bless you all and Fr Goring! Outstanding message! ❤❤❤❤❤
Fr Mark , when I was working in the central reserves Aus , I was blessed to meet the indigenous, they taught me to never give up at your own pace . God bless your sermons Fr Mark 👍🙏🏻👍🙏🏻
Thank you Father . I'm in the mud my marriage is very unhealthy. This came just when I needed it most . I will stay in 4 lo and get out of the mud . God Bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
I keep persevering! I woke up today I thank God for that… no one else. The pain in my left knee never stops and even my right new knee troubles me but I keep on trying to improve. When you are older it’s harder to make your body bounce back that’s for sure! 🙏
I've heard many great homilies from Father Mark but I have to admit, this has got to be the most impactful for me. Thank you for this wonderful homoly and inspiration.
Thank you Fr Mark. I am trying to help a good friend recover from a major brain injury that has effected her cognative function. She is single and has always been fiercely independent, but now refuses to get the cognative therapy (she doesn't see her deficits) so she might be able to be independent some day. I am walking a fine line of encouraging her that she needs help and telllng her what will likely happen if she doesn't. I have been through diffacult times myself, but never gave up, and it is hard to deal with her insane stubborness. Please pray that she will somehow realize there is way forward.
Thank you Fr. Mark...I have been for years praying to find a cure for a feeling of something in my throat...sometimes I feel like giving up, but with your words Fr...I will stay humble, patient and persevere. I know and believe that one day healing will occur. Thank you Fr. Goring. God bless you.
“EVERY BREATH, EVERY STEP AND EVERY DAY”…. Is what I Mutter when times are harder for me…. I had a serious spinal cord injury 23 years ago and should’ve not survived, should have been a full quadriplegic in the least…. But Christs LOVINGKINDNESS has always been with me, the struggles haven’t always been easy but knowing Heaven has always been at my side not much stops me from doing anything. Ad Majorum Dei Gloria ( All Glory to God ). I’m sure I spelled it wrong
I was diagnosed with a rare Neuro cns disease 21 years ago. I started a fast healing trek this summer after intense family trauma and realized the IF and stem cells it can create, better supplements and detoxing I had been studying about and trying was finally pulling me out of the very thick and toxic mud. God's grace got me this far and I pray will keep me on the best path to complete this natural health journey. Get me out of my own way way, Lord. Jesus, I Trust in You. Thank you for your peace and perseverance thus far.
We all think of sainthood as a glorious pinnacle of victory, which at the end it is...... but seems like the journey there is a bit of a trudge through a messy swamp.... great homily
You are so right father Mark am going thru that mud in this time in my life but when i listen to talks or preaching like your.... it brings me back to my senses and realize that the time of my God is not my time so i got to go thru this bless my Jesus christ amen.
Just wanted to say thanks for the prayers 🙏... my baby sister in law who had a stroke... is taking some small steps. Thanks so much for the prayers but this is definitely a low gear time. 😀
Tell her to stick with it. It's very important that she sticks with it early. Tell her the doctors do not know everything! Especially about strokes and the Brain.
Focus on Jesus and DO ALL for HIM always accepting your trials and He will see you through in peace of soul: Sirach 22:16 16 A wooden beam firmly bonded into a building will not be torn loose by an earthquake; so the mind firmly fixed on a reasonable counsel will not be afraid in a crisis. Your analogies are great and wise Fr Goring! May God reward you! 🙏❤️
Just keep swimming.... I have to tell myself that too sometimes. Sometimes I think part of my cross is purely... not giving up... since I have more fails then wins... I need the reminder often! "Just keep going, keep doing what you must and what God puts before you, and have faith!" God Is Good. God knows what He's doing. He's got This.... Thank God. LOL Viva Cristo Rey P.S. This made me think instantly about Saint Joseph 💖 Thank you for that beautiful thought!
In UK we are going through a turbulent time politically, economically…the time is right for people to turn to the Lord as they can see the world is not enough!

Sometimes the mud is personal sin and sins remembered from the past treks in my life. God have mercy on us all and help us be mindful of Your grace.

Proverbs often mentions humility and patience. I'm for sure a work in progress. Thank you Father for the reminder.

Excellently well said, Father. There are valuable lessons, vital to our spirit, hidden in Nature everywhere. The lush overabundance and ease of Hawaii shows us how we can be snared by sloth and pleasure; while the parched, hot, rocky, and snake infested desert can reveal beauty and wisdom unsurpassed. Perseverance and our love and trust in God will win for us revelations that will shape and enrich us beyond understanding. If one thinks they're on the road to Paradise, and all they're doing is traveling at 100k down a smooth road... well, guess what? That's not the road to Heaven.
I know you're right, but I could take a good two weeks in Kauai right about now
