Laity of all ages... it is time to show the love of Christ through the way you live your life! We are all born to lead people to Christ Because He Lives within us. It is such a shame that Free Will gets in the way. My daughter just had her 16th birthday party tonight at the skate rink and in one of her birthday cards her friend told her how she changed her life for the better and made her a more religious person. She told my daughter that she thanks God that she met her when she did. Being a teenager nowadays is so hard!!! Tonight I thank God for my daughter and the vocation he has instilled in her. My daughter was born on the epiphany in Bloomington, IN. She enjoyed your homily tonight from SC!!! Thank you and God bless your ministry. 🙏❤🙏
Fulton Sheen gives three ways to Love: 1. Hearing the voice 2. Seeing the person face to face 3. Physically Touch the person Out of all these, the most intimate and only a few may engage in the third option do so.
Thanks for your preaching is helping me to learn more and grow my faith.God Blessed you with good health,strength, peace and keep guiding you with Holly Spirit 🙏🏽
Impressive! Don't think I have ever heard this from the pulpit. So true: "All people need Jesus." Also, no one gets a pass from the duty of proclaiming Christ, the Church He founded, the need for the sacraments... And no Catholic gets a pass from the duty of offering their prayers, works, joys, and sufferings for the salvation of "those people." The other part of this talk puzzles me because the evangelists sure did talk about "those people." Don't read Romans if you don't want to hear that message. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice," etc.
According to one tradition Kings father , Balthasar was king of Arabia, Gaspar was king of India, and Melchior was king of Persia. An 8th century saint, Bede the Venerable, described the kings this way: "The first was called Melchior; he was an old man, with white hair and long beard; he offered gold to the Lord as to his king. The Three Kings🙂 were among the wisest men of their time. Discovering that the Messiah was to be born, they organized an expedition to find him, following a star that led them to Bethlehem.
I feel cursed and abused by people or men who are addicted to me and are like vampires to my soul and spirit. And who play mind games, coercion and lies Or like having Stockholm syndrome of feeling like I'm addicted to them.
There is a war going on right now. People are barely scratching the surface about how serious times are. Israel is behind the LGBT agenda and attacks on the Church and society. It may be too difficult a truth for many to deal with. The problem is I do not seen the enemy ever stopping without being stopped.
Lee Jennifer Corlew Ayres Jesus says the gates of hell will not prevail against his Church and he gave the keys of the kingdom to Peter. I know Gorge Sorous behind this relativistic and modern movement but we have to stay with the church and Mary, and all the saints pray unconditionally for the Pope the he will guard and rule with love and mercy for all don’t bring him down. Amen 🙏 May the perfect peace of Christ be with all.
...and to certain parties, whom I shall not call out by name lest I be accused of trashing them, who deride Catholics for being too "rigid" for opposing idolatry and heresy.
R. Zell if I only was born to a catholic family , I would have a greater chance of being saved . Or if I was born before the reformation. I can only dream
@@Wgaither1 look at it like this. The Church has not failed you. The church has failed Catholics who have left it to find Christ. And sometimes one must become a good Protestant, to become a good Catholic once again. The ones that leave I never come back all the unelect. Those that leave and come back it is because they are being drawn back to the body of Christ, his church, the Catholic Church. Look at it like this, if the judaizers would have disregarded the apostles ruling in Acts 15, they would still be following Christ, but are out of the one flock, the one church, and the one bride of Christ. On the day of judgment Christ would be saying to them "you go to the goat line." You on the other hand, are like the judaizers of of 2nd and 3rd generation. They were protesters and they separated themselves from Christ. You cannot and will not find Christ in the 16th century deformation. If Satan is diluting you, you have a chance. If it is God who is diluting you, you have zero chance.
1 Corinthians 15,28 - “And, when all things have been subordinated to him, then will the Son himself also be subordinated to the one who has subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.”
A house was burned down in my town this week. A same sex couple lived there with their child. The criminals who did this, did it claiming to be Christians. So many crimes committed against humanity in the name of God, from East to West. Like Pope Francis recently said "if you are a Christian and hate your brother you are a liar." I lost a brother to suicide, he was a victim of clergy abuse, he was a victim of social abuse for being different. I know he is well now. Jesus died for him too. Trash talking and trash THINKING is poison. At the hour of our death we will be shown our deeds. Jesus went on with his mission fully knowing Judas was going to betray him. Yet He kept going. His message is clear, we are the ones who muddy up the waters. The Vatican is working on repairing damages done by the church. We have a magisterial church for a reason. I stand by Pope Francis and by his leading of the Church. Beware of those within the Catholic Church wishing for his demise, that's all I can say.
So because some bishops have failed to protect children or failed to take a strong enough stance against criminal priests, you aren't going to listen to anything that the US bishops ask Catholics to consider?
@@FatherJohnHollowell No Father that's not the reason, I knew they wouldn't take a strong stance against criminal Priest. I lived in California for 50 years. The vicious silence from the pulpit became intolerable. I consider what happened to me and my family Spiritual abuse. I have been listening to you for a long time and will continue to do so. It's almost like the Bishops are telling us to be "NICE". The Bishops initiative "Civilize it" did hit me right between the eyes! The liberal, modernist, Catholic Church has and CONTINUES to call me every name in the book. I really liked you Homily until you brought the Bishops up. Your Homily could have been titled, "Bishops stop trashing the faith with your silence" HA! I'm sure we would get along. I didn't hear a Homily on the Real Presence, the Four Last Things, Contraception, ETC for DECADES...... Not Figuratively, Literally!
I don't know of such thinking that people think other people created in Gods likeness ARE not human. How in- human, how unlike GOD to think these silly unholy elite thoughts! Original Sin!
When you wash something clean, you remove the dirt on it, but it doesn’t mean it won’t get dirty again. God has promised to wash us clean of sin if we approach Him, but this requires us to consistently approach him in repentance when we have sinned
faith breathes so you saying if I commit a grave sin and 5 minutes later I have a massive heart attack and died. I would go to hell because I did not repent. And God knows the future and say he would have known that I would have repented if I didn’t have a massive heart attack, but that wouldn’t matter. What’s the RCC teaching on this?
Paul Miller And Christ never taught if someone missed mass and supposedly died in mortal sin they would go to hell. Nowhere! A false teaching of the Roman Catholic Church that doesn’t give the people peace
@@Wgaither1 Again, you're so focused on the specific formula. Now, however, you raised a question of whether the Church established by Christ really has the authority to bind and loose... you know, like Christ said it does... in Sacred Scripture.
I was wondering who holds the Guinness world record of reciting the Hail Mary in their lifetime and how many times. I know I’m not even close . I’m not even up to one.
The Lesser Confessor no evidence in scripture to praying to saints. Why should I ? Anyways a saint could pray for me without me first praying to them. Common sense. Praying to saints is idolatry. Are you saying I need to pray to a saint for salvation? Or Mary has more power than God himself? Bishop Alphonse de Ligouri is more responsible than any other for promoting the worship of Mary, therefore dethroning Christ and enthroning Mary in the hearts of the people. Rather than excommunicating him for his heresies, the Catholic Church canonized him as a saint and published his book, called "The Glories of Mary," which is famous, influential, and widely read. He noted that Mary was given rulership over one half of the kingdom of God and rules over the kingdom of mercy while Jesus rules over the kingdom of justice. He wrote that people should pray to Mary as a mediator and look to her as an object of trust for answered prayer. The book also states there is no salvation outside of Mary. Even though the Catholic Church mentions his views are extreme and not representative of the church, no one bothered to silence de Liguori as a heretic. Rather, he was canonized as a saint and declared to be a "doctor of the church." His teachings have influenced many popes.
Patz13 Here's some devotions from Alphonsus Liguori that actually shows that Roman Catholics do worship Mary even if they just claim, "I don't worship her, I just love her." and that Protestants and Baptists hate Mary. For one, I don't hate Mary but EVERY false doctrine taught about her because it is misleading people to Hell! My heart is broken for all the mislead taken from "Devotions in Honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help" pages 38-39: Come then to my help, dearest Mother, for I recommend myself to thee. In my hands I place my eternal salvation and to thee do I entrust my soul. Count me among thy most devoted servants, take me under thy protection and it is enough for me. For, if thou protect me, dear Mother, I fear nothing not from my sins because tho wilt obtain for me the pardon of them nor from the devils because thou art more powerful than all Hell together nor even Jesus my Judge Himself, because by one prayer from thee He will be appeased. But one thing I fear that in the hour of temptation I may neglect to call on thee and thus perish miserably. Obtain for me then the pardon of my sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance and grace always to have recourse to thee O Mother of Perpetual Help.

I love my Catholic Faith. I pray for everyone for their hearts to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit.
Man did this homily hit home. Got to stop this myself
Such homilies provide clarity in the midst of so much confusion.
From Brisbane Australia, another excellent homily, thanks .
Chris Wright stay safe from the fires
Stay safe!!
3 Hail Marys for you, Father.
Fulton Sheen gives three ways to Love:
1. Hearing the voice
2. Seeing the person face to face
3. Physically Touch the person
Out of all these, the most intimate and only a few may engage in the third option do so.
When you can start to see others through the eyes of Christ, the harder it is to treat them as anything less than what He would like you to.
Thanks for your homily and thanks be to God.
Thank you father ,
For uploading your sermons for us !
Thanks, Father; good homily.
Thanks for your preaching is helping me to learn more and grow my faith.God Blessed you with good health,strength, peace and keep guiding you with Holly Spirit 🙏🏽
Excellent homily. Thank you.
Amen. Praise the Lord.
Great thank you.👍🙂

The pronoun "those" is used in different ways to mean slightly different things. St. Paul didn't use it the way Father did.
@Patz13 - I would honestly take the time to write the grammar and writing lesson if I didn't have to prepare another written work tonight.
The holier than thou syndrome !
Thank you for the video, Father.

What was their religion? Were some Zoroastrians? I don’t know. Some had said Zoroastrians were among the wise men. Again I don’t know. I only guess.

My good friend Zell should listen very carefully to this homily
I feel cursed and abused by people or men who are addicted to me and are like vampires to my soul and spirit. And who play mind games, coercion and lies
Or like having Stockholm syndrome of feeling like I'm addicted to them.
Amen father you should tell this to Dr Taylor Marshall and Micheal Voris when they talk about Pope Francis!! God love you 🙏

Calling the Pope out on his errors is not trashing him. I pray for him and our Church.

Does God try to save everyone equally?
The Lesser Confessor doesn’t he have the power to save everyone if he wanted to
@@Wgaither1 Yes, but he doesnt save the Heterodox.

In general, I DON'T TRUST THE BISHOPS ANYMORE!
He is teaching us to direct our ideas and discussion to the positive and not to the negative.
@@joanlynch5271 I don't think that is possible when it comes to the Clergy. They need to hear the Truth.
