That was the most beautiful, truthful, simple, heartfelt video I have ever watched. Thank you Father. I will never pray the Our Father again without thinking of you and your instruction. If I can teach my children this one thing well I will have given them a God filled life.
Thank you for this! I am a former pentecostal (Assemblies of God) pastor. I saw you speak (Friday July 22nd) at St. Mary of the Lake in Chicago. You complimented me on my beard...LOL! I really appreciated your presentation; loved hearing your stories and your energy. You spoke about the Eucharist in such a way that makes me want to participate in the Catholic mass. I had to leave early that day. I really wanted to have the opportunity to talk with you a bit more but I had to run. Anyway, I just wanted to jump on here and say I appreciate your work and the work of God's Spirit within you! Blessings to you!
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:5-6 So, these words from Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are not Christian?
the deepest times of prayer were being relaxed w/my Daddy n Queen mama and I can laugh n cry in there presence or sometimes their arms ...posture etc not really a big concern here Thanks Fr. u r Awesome
It's good to see you always upbeat and happy, Fr. Malachy! I prefer to pray on my own in my room. The only times when I don't do so is when I attend weekday/Sunday mass. There's something from the bible about not letting anyone know when one prays and to pray in one's room in secret (don't know the exact quote), so I'm a little confused about what you've said. Keep on smiling and doing the good works of the Lord! God bless. +
Thank you James! To provide a little bit of clarity (I hope), I think that passage was about the intention of your prayer, that it's better to close the door, pray in your room and pray to the Father who is unseen, rather than praying in the streets just to seen by people that you are praying.. God bless you always and thanks for watching!
@@SpiritJuice I wish I could give you a heart but I don't have that option as a youtube end user. Thanks for clarifying what Fr. Malachy said, Spirit Juice! I searched online and came across "Matthew 6, verse 6" that states the above. Fr. Malachy was very instrumental, along with Fr. Mark-Mary, in my conversion in 2019 especially when they prayed the holy rosary together on Ascension. I'm really glad Fr. Malachy still makes videos every now and then instead of disappearing into oblivion like some other friars who have been moved to outstation friaries. Keep up the great job and God bless all of you. +

Wow, thank you very much for your appreciation and your kind Amara, that means a lot! Thank you for watching and God bless you always.
This man definitely has the Holy Spirit. I honestly don’t meet a lot of Christians where I genuinely feel that. Beautiful spirit
Totally agree, Fr. Malachy's spirit is incredibly beaufiful!

I'm not sure which part of Fr. Malachy's reflection, implied that this is now Christian.
the deepest times of prayer were being relaxed w/my Daddy n Queen mama and I can laugh n cry in there presence or sometimes their arms ...posture etc not really a big concern here Thanks Fr. u r Awesome
Thank you for that! That's great to hear.
Jesus says pray behind a closed door don't stand on a street corner and draw attention
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on thi.
