    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

    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. 😊

    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.

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.🙏🏼🙌🏼

    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.

    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 🙏🏻

    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.

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.
