Where in Bible says we are to pray to Mary? There is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. 1 John 2 Your Mary is a Catholic church teaching, not Bible!
@@truthmatters77 read John 2. The wedding if Cana. Jesus turns water to wine - not just ordinary wine, but a very fine wine, at the request of His mother. She acted as a mediator between the wedding couple and Jesus. The 5th commandment says to honor thy father and mother. Since Jesus, being son of God, cannot go against the Commandments. We ask for Mary to pray for us. She is the mother of God and God grants us many graces thru her. Mary - who was FULL OF GRACE - was without sin. You cannot be full of grace and sinful at the same time. Doesn't mean she was perfect like Jesus, she just never disobeyed or said no to God. She is a wonderful role model for women! Why is it okay to honor our own mothers and other women - who are sinners- but not the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ? Would you walk into a friend's house whose mother was sitting there, and just simply ignore her? Or worse yet speak ill of her?? Absolutely not! That would be a tremendous insult to your friend & you would probably lose that friendship. We honor Mary. We ask her to pray for us, as you ask a friend to pray for you. We DO NOT worship her. That is for our triune God - the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. Mary is our heavenly Mother. When Jesus gave His mother to John to behold and care for, He was also giving her to us. 😊 hope that clarifies it a little for you.
@@UnbornLivesMatter no it don't clarify nothing cos your deluded! Was Mary, mother of God! At the beginning? No! Cos she no God you stupid! Wedding at cana? Firstly, not fine wine, fermented wine! Read the text carefully, she asked Jesus if He would do, and told servers to ask Jesus what He wanted to do! She never commanded! Hello! All through the gospels plus the epistles, rarely any accounts of her! Sorry! You miscontrue to suit your institutions false doctrines, He asked John to take care of her, not for us too! She is not immortal! Of course He honoured them! But whom did HE put above all? His Father. Just read the account of when they lost Him in Jerusalem, 3 days they knew not, and when they did find Him, what did He say? I'm about my Father's business! Sheez! Look, you can pray to your Mary. It is after all a Catholic church teaching, false crap too! 1 John 2 says there only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus! Eat that!

Received Communion, Making "The Loving, Proper & Right Way" The Very Last!! 😕 Are you kidding me, I Couldn't Even Believe It, When He said It! We are Hurting Jesus, Our Saviour, So Deeply, Over & Over & Over Again. 😭 Are They Even Realizing This? Why are They Answering to The Government Instead of Our Lord??? 👰 💞 😍💒

Well said Father and thank you for sharing this inspiring and powerful sermon about the “Existence of Hell”. “O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who most in need of Thy Mercy. Amen!”
It pains me to say but I heard Bishop Barron say that probably there’s nobody in hell or hell is in our mind, God is love and Will forgive us. I pray for him, and for all our wonderful priest we need those consecrated hands to get us to heaven 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 May God bless all the Priest give them a strong Faith and keep them Humble and make them saints dear Lord, give them wisdom to guide your church 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Three acts of Contrition Oh my God, I am sorry for having offended Thee , because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because I have offended Thee , my God , who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve , with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance , and to amend my life. Amen . This simple prayer acknowledges the penitent “most of all because I have offended Thee , my God who are all Good and deserving of all my love .
Not positive but-"Oh my GOD, I'm heartily sorry for having offended thee, I detest all my sins because of thy just punishment because I dread the loss of Heaven & the Pains of hell & continued as you stated?? Peace. 💞
Bishop Barron is now fighting true Catholics with a secret meeting against what he calls trad rads He’s now getting ready for the battle of souls but on the side of evil as he uses the church as his platform
@@shawacademicinstitute669 I don't know this. How could you? We are to be careful about speaking poorly of bishops. If it is teue, that is not preferred, but he does talk about wanting to good because we love the Lord, not just for fear of hell I assume. I believe if you make a confession because of fear of hell and not love of God, then it is not a good confession. Please be careful of talking poorly of bishops lest you bring damnation to yourself. If he is not speaking of hell, email him, contact him. It may be okay to say it would be nice if he would speak of these things, but to spread calumny you cannot prove is a little dangerous. Maybe you are right...I hope not though. If you are, I just dont know if it right not to say such things on UA-cam. IDK
Truth is above liberty- we spend our life choosing as we see fit, we exist for the sake of goodness and love. Love God and glorify God for yourself. Do not lose sight of Hell or you will not appreciate what salvation for Heaven is.
Kindly consider praying an additional holy Rosary to your current daily one, for the loving intentions of our Blessed Mother - she will be ever so grateful. God bless.
The older I grow, the more I trust my Father in Heaven. Truly, I do see that the lostness of this modern world is less desireable and alonenrss with the Blessed Family through prayer is about as real as I can get, truly this is The Living God who leads me in the way if forgiveness when I sin aka act badly human, and seems Holy Spirit has not left me as Jesus promised and any trouble is made more bearable when I brought my own imperfect troubled heart to my Blessed Mother Mary. That is quite a family, could you agree? Adopted me and it has been forty years...like I said, quite a family.
We pray the CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY WITH THE HOLY ROSARY. Our Blessed Mother told the Children at Fatima that poor sinners are in hell cuz no one prayed and made sacrifices for them. She told us to pray the Decade prayer...O MY JESUS FORGIVE US OUR SINS SAVE US FROM THE FIRES OF HELL....MERCY. JESUS OUR LORD RESPONDED THRU ST FAUSTINA THAT WE PRAY THE CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY . AMDG SAG JMJ SEMPER DEO GRATIAS ET MARIE
I once had a local Priest say that we can eventually get out of hell. When I questioned him, he said that he would listen to a tape by Bishop Barron again and get back to me. I am not totally blaming Bishop Barron for this Priest's interpretation, however I don't think that saying "we have a reasonable hope that all men are saved" helps...
@Monica Mohan - When encountering such false statements from our fellow Catholics, try to ask-- sort of sweetly, as if you yourself are the one who is confused-- "But Father, if no one goes to (remains in) hell, then how do I explain to other people why we need a Savior?" And see what he says. In other words, troll him with kindness, and maybe a light will go on. In the meantime, pray daily: ST FAUSTINA's PRAYER FOR PRIESTS O my Jesus, I beg Thee on behalf of the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Thy Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; Thou Thyself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Thy mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Thy mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for Thou canst do all things.

He agrees hell exists and is a real possibility for every person." Source: wordonfire.org/hope Try the truth sometime. Peace.
@@G-MIP But the original poster did NOT say that Bishop Barron said hell does not exist. Go back and read her post before smugly saying "Try the truth sometime."

The poster simply said she didn't KNOW if Barron said that or not, but his OTHER documented statement "of a reasonable hope that all will be saved," did not "help." Try reading sometime.
Thank you Father for this Homily which is a reminder on how we should lead our life here on earth. May God bless you. May I please ask that all adds be removed when you speak about the Words of God. I counted about 5 to 6 adds interrupting you. Thank you.
One of the reason why God maintaining devils and allow them to prowl on the surface of earth could be to let us know that devils have been living for long in Hell (as exorcists see, it always go down into earth besides most of the time make the possessed human to act like a snake, before leaving them) without any reprieve (other than the opportunity to influence humans) and be wise if you don’t want to join them eternally.
Thank you Dear Holy Father I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell and we has individual have that choice to choose by how we live our lives never do I want to enter Hell God Jesus prepare my soul for Heaven and All my love ones and Gods Holy People Amen Also do I Thank you My Holy Catholic Church for bringing us all the teachings I Love You Always and Forever above all things
The devil doesn’t want us to believe that there is hell because he is the father of lies and deceit. There was a man who told Padre Pio, he doesn’t believe in Hell, Padre Pio told him, you will when you get there. So he went to confession
Ofcourse, that is what Pope Francis said openly. Hell does not exist. It is just you dont meet God but just vanish. Contrary to Jesus telling numerous times the existence of Hell of eternal Fire that does not go out. What an irony is to have a Pope saying such.

@@alexrod6304 u sound like ur 20 I watch,and attend the Holy Catholic Church we pray for Pope Francis at every Mass twisters u all are u are not Intelligent enough to understand Pope Francis
It would be ideal if 2021 was declared "The Year About Hell" by the Vatican. It would require all Priests and Bishops (including Bishop Barron) to preach and teach at least once a month the Catholic Church's teachings concerning the Dogma of Hell. I believe many souls would be saved.
In RCIA they are saying that hell is not a sulphurous, burning place but an absence of God. The idea of burning in hell works for keeping me- to the best of my ability- on the straight and narrow and wanting to be good and see God.
Could you kindly post who the Priests are when you put up these videos, sometimes its there and sometimes its not. I enjoy following them. Appreciate this channel. God Bless
Love this channel. This is a heavy topic and the ads are very distracting to a video like this. So much so, I'm commenting before I've finished watching this video. Maybe I've gotten used to your older non monetized videos. Maybe cut down on the ads if you can afford to, please?
I do at age 62 believe God does put people in Hell I love and try best to live in accordance to the Catholic church not my twisted Catholic religion but The true Catholic religion, Yes hell is REAL and MANY are in there
Can you talk about the hope and existence of heaven as well please. I don't know that I get enough of the goal from Catholics, but rather the eternal damnation awaiting most of us. I need a goal not a constant avoidance and fear. I want to repent for love of Lord, not fear only of hell. I just would like to hear more of what heaven is like so I yearn for it all the more. Thank you! I think us Catholics have been beaten over the head with the reality of hell for most of us. Can we please try to also talk about what heaven will be like? Please!!!
Please! Tell us about those who loved Jesus so much amd what they did to gain heaven! Not just don't do anything or you will go to hell. Who can work with that? What do I do!!!! Not don't do, "well we can't say exactly, but you're probably going to hell if you don't become a hermet and pray continually." Thanks, but doesn't help! I want to please my Lord Jesus more than anything, but as a sinner it seems you are saying I'm damned anyway unless I stop taking care of my children and become a nun and stop eating or something.
@@Recusant_ Thank you! Yeah, I grew up with this type of stuff all the time, and I think it actually harmed me in the sense that, as a child, and as one without a father, I saw God the Father as a very distant, fire and brimstone being, that I am always just discusting and a disappointment to, no matter how much I wish to please Him and love Him. I am always unlovable. I am destine to hell no matter what. It is scary. I was also raised very Catholic, but without the bible, and some PPX stuff, and how most of us would go to hell and Jesus doesn't really love us. It is not good to encourage love for God in a healthy way and/or scripture. It just made me feel hopless and even more distant from what Love of my Father in Heaven is. Still struggle. I understand them wanting to explain hell to those who don't believe it exists and it's severity, but is it important to God for us to make this a huge point in our faith? I dont know. All I know is that is all I hear from Catholics I grew up with is stuff like this, and not knowing the love of a father, makes me feel hopless. I wonder about all my other fatherless brothers and sisters in Christ who have the same issues without a father's love and what that feels like or means. That is huge in these times. Maybe why Divine Mercy is so huge.
@@Recusant_ I have been there too! All I can think of is the hell that awaits me when I die and I am paralyzed. I become a mother and wife that is paralyzed as well. I tend to be scrupulous I think too. Maybe not, but I don't know why or what else the anxiety would come from when pertaining to this type of stuff. Jesus, I trust in you!!! I WILL pray for you too. Much love to you! Thank you for your understanding, kind words! Pax
@@ammcroft This is the reason the Catholic Church has the sacraments especially confession where the Priest is "In Persona Christi" meaning it is Christ who is forgiving your sins. Make it a practice to go at least once a month.
I'm glad you are talking about hell. Well Our Lady of Fatima showed hell to the children for a reason and I believe St. Faustina saw hell, purgatory as well. They should make a movie to emphasis on these topics. If it helps any. Even St. Faustina had to spend one day in purgatory. I think many do not know this. Most recently many think that when someone dies they will say "oh they on the other side" meaning heaven. Again many need to see the truth.
2 Peter 3:10 But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish. *
Wow u never get out of hell a young priest said that guy o me 3 years ago I asked him on second judgement fo people get out of hell he said no and u said it I'm truly trying for Heaven,
I have heard a similar Holy Sermon, they said that in judgement day God won't yeet souls in to the abyss of hell, soul's will automatically throw them selves off, because they know they are not worthy of eternal life.
@@bernesk3773 I am not sure how God goes a out putting bodies with their souls in hell but I do believe God puts people in hell it was said by jesus and it is written but priest sat we put ourselves in hell by our freewill and I do totally agree with that,u must be in the state of Grace before entering Heaven and when we meet our Lord with His Great love for us and we are sorry when we see HIM maybe we can get into Heaven but I'm trying my hardest to please God here cause I want to and poor Jesus and Mother Mary how they suffered for me but yet I'm afraid of God and great fear of Hell, hope it's not to late for me, Thank you for sharing
One of the devil's worst deceits is to make many believe in universalism and that hell and the devil do not exist. Clearly even a skim read of Matthew's Gospel [it is also in the other 3] shows that universalism is a heresy and wishful thinking. We must pray for both others and ourselves that God will help us avoid the devil and hell and avoid the sin of presumption.
Those who make it to purgatory will eventually be in heaven. The 4 last things, Death, Judgement, Heaven or Hell are final stages so to speak, where as purgatory is temporary. Hope this helped.
As someone who struggles with faith, I have to say, with all due respect, that it is very hard for me to listen/look at these teachings and not feel repulsed by this “system”. The divine authority feels unbelievably arrogant and puristic; condemning people who did good things but didn’t believe right to eternal, physical torture. Punishing *thoughtcrimes* I just don’t understand how anyone could justify this without feeling at least a little bit draconian.
I believe there should be atonement made for any wrongdoing anyone commits, but to consider anyone should suffer for eternity for any wrongdoing they commited seems absurd and supremely immoral. One might say, but any wrongdoing anyone commits may have eternal effects. Perhaps so, but so what? If the emotional and/or physical suffering caused by wrongdoing is what determines the nature of the divine punishment the guilty receives, and that wrongdoing has a finite effect in terms of emotional and/or physical suffering, how is that proportional and therefore reasonable to believe eternal suffering is a perfectly fair form of divine justice? Emotional and physical suffering is finite in duration, intensity and kind in this mode of existence. Moreover, in the wake of evil, good can be done. And regardless if the divine punishments of Hell would be proportionate in terms of their duration, intensity and kind, to the effects of the wrongdoings anyone commits, it still doesn't make sense. Of what good does it do for any soul to suffer eternally? If the eternal suffering that all soul's in Hell experience is non-redemptive, then how would it be good for such a God to willfully sustain any soul's existence in such a state? Currently, the most reasonable form of divine justice that I'm aware of is an aspect of some near death experience accounts that has been designated as a _life review._ Some of the descriptions of the so called life review that I've read/heard of seem very reasonable to me. For example, according to some descriptions of the life review, whatever good or evil anyone commits while they're alive, they'll experience the affect they had on others and nature, both positive and negative. Why? So they can have a proper understanding of the cause and effect their choices have in objective reality, and therefore be properly equipped to grow spiritually, in this mode of existence (if they're able and willing to return), and/or another mode of existence.
God is perfect. ANY one mortal sin against him is literally a severance from His presence, forever. That’s why we have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling
Christ spoke about the existence of Hell in 240 verses of the New Testament. How many times did Christ speak or allude to the existence of Purgatory? Answer 0. How many times did any of the Apostles who were with Christ during His 3 year ministry or after Christ ascension into Heaven ever mention, or allude to Purgatory? Answer Zero.
@@tommym1341 I won't thank you, but I appreciate your efforts. None of your scripture quotes come close to an intentional or un-intentional reference to Purgatory. I looked up all your scriptural quotes in the New American Bible St Joseph Edition sponsored by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops USCCB.org which is a study Bible. Guess what their study notes, on some of these verses provide no reference positively or negatively on Purgatory. The only one that mention Purgatory at all is 2 Maccabees 12:41-45 which refutes the use of it to justify the concept of purgatory ( Christ certainly did not say it) 2 Maccabees footnote says the following " [-] This is the earliest statement of the doctrine that prayers (v. ) and sacrifices (v. ) for the dead are efficacious. Judas probably intended his purification offering to ward off punishment from the living. The author, however, uses the story to demonstrate belief in the resurrection of the just (, , , ), and in the possibility of expiation for the sins of otherwise good people who have died. This belief is similar to, but not quite the same as, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory. Tommy M logically don't you think Christ or His Apostles would have explain Purgatory as it changes God's Salvation Plan for mankind in a huge way. Purgatory was invented by the Church in the 13th century. And it basically says while God forgives you your sins, you still have to go to prison and suffer for some period of time to pay for them. The Doctrine of Purgatory is contrary to the Father God's Salvation Plan for mankind that He and His Son Jesus Christ agreed to before the foundation of the World. It is also contrary to every word spoken by Christ in His 3 year ministry on Earth, and is best expressed in *1 John 1-10* see verse 7 *The Word of Life* 1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life- 2 for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us- 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing this so that our joy may be complete. *II. God as Light* 5 God is Light. Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. 10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Bill Smith There is a purgatory because there is God’s justice. God gives us crosses so we have a chance to avoid purgatory but there is no free lunch. There or here, if one is to be saved.
@@tommym1341 So what you are saying, is you think that the sacrifice that Christ made in His Death on the Cross, which eliminated all sin, that had occurred, was occurring, and would occur in the future, was not good enough for you. You are rejecting His gift to you? And you think you must perform works to ensure eternal life for yourself. You don't care that God loves you unconditional and all He asks of you is to believe in His Son, and to avoid sin. You think you can perform enough meaningful works that Christ will be pleased to acknowledge on Judgment Day and you will be acceptable. The Pharisees of Jesus time, was scolded time and time again by Christ for this very belief in doing it themselves as imperfect human beings. Read slowly the teachings of St, Paul and St John on what I what I have said to you. (Ephesians 2:8-10) For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them. (John 3: 14:18)And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Bill Smith Who told you that Christ’s death on the cross eliminated sin? That’s some faulty logic because if it’s true it means we don’t have free will Christ’s death redeemed His followers from the penalty of sin, that is, they have an opportunity to be saved IF they continue to fight the good fight (I.e choose not to sin etc..) until He calls them (I.e when they die)
There is NO such a place called HELL! burning with evil ppl! This is not Biblical! Hell is an event to take place after 1000yrs in heaven! Where in Bible says all this? No where.

@@truthmatters77 read John 2. The wedding if Cana. Jesus turns water to wine - not just ordinary wine, but a very fine wine, at the request of His mother. She acted as a mediator between the wedding couple and Jesus. The 5th commandment says to honor thy father and mother. Since Jesus, being son of God, cannot go against the Commandments.
We ask for Mary to pray for us. She is the mother of God and God grants us many graces thru her. Mary - who was FULL OF GRACE - was without sin. You cannot be full of grace and sinful at the same time. Doesn't mean she was perfect like Jesus, she just never disobeyed or said no to God. She is a wonderful role model for women! Why is it okay to honor our own mothers and other women - who are sinners- but not the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ? Would you walk into a friend's house whose mother was sitting there, and just simply ignore her? Or worse yet speak ill of her?? Absolutely not! That would be a tremendous insult to your friend & you would probably lose that friendship. We honor Mary. We ask her to pray for us, as you ask a friend to pray for you. We DO NOT worship her.

How come we never hear a powerful sermon like this from our bishops
How many Bishops' sermons have you attended in the last year?
Because they don't believe it anymore. The Bishop's not all have failed us.
Theres some good priests but not many who give good homilies!
Bishop, Who is That? I Don't Even RememberThe Last Time, When I saw The Bishop in The Cathedral for Pete's Sake!! In The Cathedral, I Would Think, One Would See Him @Least from Time to Time, Don't You? Also, How Empty, Most Churches are Now!! 😢 When I am The Only One Receiving Communion on Their Tongue & Then Told By The Monsignor, That Anyone Wanting To Receive Communion On Their Tongue Must Wait Must Until All Others Have 1st. Received Communion, Making "The Loving, Proper & Right Way" The Very Last!! 😕 Are you kidding me, I Couldn't Even Believe It, When He said It! We are Hurting Jesus, Our Saviour, So Deeply, Over & Over & Over Again. 😭 Are They Even Realizing This? Why are They Answering to The Government Instead of Our Lord??? 👰 💞 😍💒
Lifelong Catholic and I've never ONCE heard a homily on Hell or Purgatory in my entire life.
Lord have mercy on us all
Excellent! We need this constant reminder lest we grow lax. We need true priests like this one to turn this world around. God bless him and keep him faithful and strong.
Praise the Lord
ELISEE RECLUS -Better think of what to say when you stand before Him in judgment.
Eternity is a long time.
If you’re wrong, you will make an eternal ash of yourself.
Please study and learn. Don’t be foolish
Ask God to give you help in believing, you may not believe in Him but He believes in you.
You are in a time of mercy , don’t end up in the final time of justice.
What an excellent homily. Sounds like it could have been spoken by St. Jean Vianney.

Thank you Fr. May our Lady reward you.
It pains me to say but I heard Bishop Barron say that probably there’s nobody in hell or hell is in our mind, God is love and Will forgive us. I pray for him, and for all our wonderful priest we need those consecrated hands to get us to heaven 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 May God bless all the Priest give them a strong Faith and keep them Humble and make them saints dear Lord, give them wisdom to guide your church 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Three acts of Contrition
Oh my God,
I am sorry for having offended Thee , because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell,
but most of all because I have offended Thee , my God , who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve , with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance , and to amend my life.
Amen .
This simple prayer acknowledges the penitent “most of all because I have offended Thee , my God who are all Good and deserving of all my love .
Not positive but-"Oh my GOD, I'm heartily sorry for having offended thee, I detest all my sins because of thy just punishment because I dread the loss of Heaven & the Pains of hell & continued as you stated?? Peace. 💞

Bishop baron needs to look at this
You stole my thunder. I was about to say that 🙂👍
I agree James Bishop Barren does not speak of hell not good
Yes, you know better than he does. You have great humility. People watching him don't know of hell.
Bishop Barron is now fighting true Catholics with a secret meeting against what he calls trad rads He’s now getting ready for the battle of souls but on the side of evil as he uses the church as his platform
@@shawacademicinstitute669 I don't know this. How could you? We are to be careful about speaking poorly of bishops. If it is teue, that is not preferred, but he does talk about wanting to good because we love the Lord, not just for fear of hell I assume. I believe if you make a confession because of fear of hell and not love of God, then it is not a good confession. Please be careful of talking poorly of bishops lest you bring damnation to yourself. If he is not speaking of hell, email him, contact him. It may be okay to say it would be nice if he would speak of these things, but to spread calumny you cannot prove is a little dangerous. Maybe you are right...I hope not though. If you are, I just dont know if it right not to say such things on UA-cam. IDK
Thank you Father God bless you. It's always good to be reminded on this reality. So that We can pray for poor sinners.
Truth is above liberty- we spend our life choosing as we see fit, we exist for the sake of goodness and love. Love God and glorify God for yourself. Do not lose sight of Hell or you will not appreciate what salvation for Heaven is.
Kindly consider praying an additional holy Rosary to your current daily one, for the loving intentions of our Blessed Mother - she will be ever so grateful. God bless.
The out wall I experienced was when I felt the internal pains of coveting. Oh my Savior Jesus, you suffered worse, on my account I praise You.
Also Mother Mary said to the Fatima children “more souls go to hell by sins of impurity than any other reason.”
The older I grow, the more I trust my Father in Heaven. Truly, I do see that the lostness of this modern world is less desireable and alonenrss with the Blessed Family through prayer is about as real as I can get, truly this is The Living God who leads me in the way if forgiveness when I sin aka act badly human, and seems Holy Spirit has not left me as Jesus promised and any trouble is made more bearable when I brought my own imperfect troubled heart to my Blessed Mother Mary.
That is quite a family, could you agree? Adopted me and it has been forty years...like I said, quite a family.
We pray the CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY WITH THE HOLY ROSARY. Our Blessed Mother told the Children at Fatima that poor sinners are in hell cuz no one prayed and made sacrifices for them.
She told us to pray the Decade prayer...O MY JESUS FORGIVE US OUR SINS SAVE US FROM THE FIRES OF HELL....MERCY.
JESUS OUR LORD RESPONDED THRU ST FAUSTINA THAT WE PRAY THE CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY .

I once had a local Priest say that we can eventually get out of hell. When I questioned him, he said that he would listen to a tape by Bishop Barron again and get back to me. I am not totally blaming Bishop Barron for this Priest's interpretation, however I don't think that saying "we have a reasonable hope that all men are saved" helps...
@Monica Mohan - When encountering such false statements from our fellow Catholics, try to ask-- sort of sweetly, as if you yourself are the one who is confused-- "But Father, if no one goes to (remains in) hell, then how do I explain to other people why we need a Savior?" And see what he says. In other words, troll him with kindness, and maybe a light will go on.
In the meantime, pray daily:
ST FAUSTINA's PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
O my Jesus, I beg Thee on behalf of the whole Church: Grant it love and the light of Thy Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; Thou Thyself maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Thy mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Thy mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for Thou canst do all things. (Diary 1052)

"Does Bishop Barron deny that hell exists?"
"No. Bishop Barron does not deny the existence of hell, because to do so would be to deny permanent and authoritative Church doctrine. He agrees hell exists and is a real possibility for every person."

Peace.
@@G-MIP But the original poster did NOT say that Bishop Barron said hell does not exist. Go back and read her post before smugly saying "Try the truth sometime." She said HER PARISH PRIEST thought there was no hell and HE said "he would check Bishop Barron" to check, the parish priest implying that he got that understanding from Bishop Barron. The poster simply said she didn't KNOW if Barron said that or not, but his OTHER documented statement "of a reasonable hope that all will be saved," did not "help."

I have an ad blocker installed and I never have ads during videos.

One of the reason why God maintaining devils and allow them to prowl on the surface of earth could be to let us know that devils have been living for long in Hell (as exorcists see, it always go down into earth besides most of the time make the possessed human to act like a snake, before leaving them) without any reprieve (other than the opportunity to influence humans) and be wise if you don’t want to join them eternally.
Thank you Dear Holy Father I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell and we has individual have that choice to choose by how we live our lives never do I want to enter Hell God Jesus prepare my soul for Heaven and All my love ones and Gods Holy People Amen Also do I Thank you My Holy Catholic Church for bringing us all the teachings I Love You Always and Forever above all things

Bishop Barron , with all due respect !!!
Are you listening ???
The devil doesn’t want us to believe that there is hell because he is the father of lies and deceit. There was a man who told Padre Pio, he doesn’t believe in Hell, Padre Pio told him, you will when you get there. So he went to confession
I had read that & I told my son just that & he laughed!!
The greatest trick ever pulled on mankind is that Satan does not exist.
Very true Kim and to believe hell doesn't exist and there is no one in hell,we say st Michael prayer after EVERY Mass
Ofcourse, that is what Pope Francis said openly. Hell does not exist. It is just you dont meet God but just vanish.
Contrary to Jesus telling numerous times the existence of Hell of eternal Fire that does not go out.
What an irony is to have a Pope saying such.

5. He said God wants plurality of religions and all lead to heaven. ( Contrary to Jesus " I am the Way the Truth and the Life ") and signed for that with Imam of Azar in UAE.
6. While he said who I am to judge for gay persons ( without naming the act of gay relationship is sin ), he judged Mr. Trump saying that he is not Christian, for building wall on the border.
7. He actively participated in the worship ritual of pagan goddess Pachamama inside Vatican gardens then honoring the same in the Vatican chapel.

@@alexrod6304 u sound like ur 20 I watch,and attend the Holy Catholic Church we pray for Pope Francis at every Mass twisters u all are u are not Intelligent enough to understand Pope Francis
It would be ideal if 2021 was declared "The Year About Hell" by the Vatican. It would require all Priests and Bishops (including Bishop Barron) to preach and teach at least once a month the Catholic Church's teachings concerning the Dogma of Hell. I believe many souls would be saved.
Yes I learned Hell at age 5 Catholic School I was taught to fear GOD,but yet Love GOD but fear
In RCIA they are saying that hell is not a sulphurous, burning place but an absence of God. The idea of burning in hell works for keeping me- to the best of my ability- on the straight and narrow and wanting to be good and see God.
Could you kindly post who the Priests are when you put up these videos, sometimes its there and sometimes its not. I enjoy following them. Appreciate this channel. God Bless
Hi... it's my understanding that some of these priests want to remain anonymous.
Imagine an eternity without being able to love God...
Love this channel. This is a heavy topic and the ads are very distracting to a video like this. So much so, I'm commenting before I've finished watching this video. Maybe I've gotten used to your older non monetized videos. Maybe cut down on the ads if you can afford to, please?
Remember by rejecting Christ, you love sin. People are trapped in hell because they love sin.
You won't hear any Yale grads talk like this the Holy Spirit is much wiser.
Anybody know who this priest is? This is the best homily I’ve heard in a long time. Is he FSSP?
I do at age 62 believe God does put people in Hell I love and try best to live in accordance to the Catholic church not my twisted Catholic religion but The true Catholic religion, Yes hell is REAL and MANY are in there
8years of Catholic School Daily prayer lots of Church
Can you talk about the hope and existence of heaven as well please. I don't know that I get enough of the goal from Catholics, but rather the eternal damnation awaiting most of us. I need a goal not a constant avoidance and fear. I want to repent for love of Lord, not fear only of hell. I just would like to hear more of what heaven is like so I yearn for it all the more. Thank you! I think us Catholics have been beaten over the head with the reality of hell for most of us. Can we please try to also talk about what heaven will be like? Please!!!
Please! Tell us about those who loved Jesus so much amd what they did to gain heaven! Not just don't do anything or you will go to hell. Who can work with that? What do I do!!!! Not don't do, "well we can't say exactly, but you're probably going to hell if you don't become a hermet and pray continually." Thanks, but doesn't help! I want to please my Lord Jesus more than anything, but as a sinner it seems you are saying I'm damned anyway unless I stop taking care of my children and become a nun and stop eating or something.
@@Recusant_ Thank you! Yeah, I grew up with this type of stuff all the time, and I think it actually harmed me in the sense that, as a child, and as one without a father, I saw God the Father as a very distant, fire and brimstone being, that I am always just discusting and a disappointment to, no matter how much I wish to please Him and love Him. I am always unlovable. I am destine to hell no matter what. It is scary. I was also raised very Catholic, but without the bible, and some PPX stuff, and how most of us would go to hell and Jesus doesn't really love us. It is not good to encourage love for God in a healthy way and/or scripture. It just made me feel hopless and even more distant from what Love of my Father in Heaven is. Still struggle. I understand them wanting to explain hell to those who don't believe it exists and it's severity, but is it important to God for us to make this a huge point in our faith? I dont know. All I know is that is all I hear from Catholics I grew up with is stuff like this, and not knowing the love of a father, makes me feel hopless. I wonder about all my other fatherless brothers and sisters in Christ who have the same issues without a father's love and what that feels like or means. That is huge in these times. Maybe why Divine Mercy is so huge.
@@Recusant_ I have been there too! All I can think of is the hell that awaits me when I die and I am paralyzed. I become a mother and wife that is paralyzed as well. I tend to be scrupulous I think too. Maybe not, but I don't know why or what else the anxiety would come from when pertaining to this type of stuff.
Jesus, I trust in you!!! I WILL pray for you too. Much love to you! Thank you for your understanding, kind words! Pax
@@ammcroft This is the reason the Catholic Church has the sacraments especially confession where the Priest is "In Persona Christi" meaning it is Christ who is forgiving your sins. Make it a practice to go at least once a month.
@@tgg9565 I usually go once a week.
I'm glad you are talking about hell. Well Our Lady of Fatima showed hell to the children for a reason and I believe St. Faustina saw hell, purgatory as well. They should make a movie to emphasis on these topics. If it helps any. Even St. Faustina had to spend one day in purgatory. I think many do not know this. Most recently many think that when someone dies they will say "oh they on the other side" meaning heaven. Again many need to see the truth.

Wow u never get out of hell a young priest said that guy o me 3 years ago I asked him on second judgement fo people get out of hell he said no and u said it I'm truly trying for Heaven,
Age of 5 in Catholic school I learned 2 words Heaven and Hell and I do believe God puts people in hell
I have heard a similar Holy Sermon, they said that in judgement day God won't yeet souls in to the abyss of hell, soul's will automatically throw them selves off, because they know they are not worthy of eternal life.

One of the devil's worst deceits is to make many believe in universalism and that hell and the devil do not exist. Clearly even a skim read of Matthew's Gospel [it is also in the other 3] shows that universalism is a heresy and wishful thinking. We must pray for both others and ourselves that God will help us avoid the devil and hell and avoid the sin of presumption.
Great reminder of the "right" direction to choose as we journey through our earthly lives!

What about Purgatory???
Heaven, Hell and Purgatory!
Purgatory is no third possibility, but pre-condition to be assumed in heaven soon, meaningless how strong or long you have to suffer there
Because their wolf's
No purgatory?
Those who make it to purgatory will eventually be in heaven. The 4 last things, Death, Judgement, Heaven or Hell are final stages so to speak, where as purgatory is temporary. Hope this helped.
As someone who struggles with faith, I have to say, with all due respect, that it is very hard for me to listen/look at these teachings and not feel repulsed by this “system”. The divine authority feels unbelievably arrogant and puristic; condemning people who did good things but didn’t believe right to eternal, physical torture. Punishing *thoughtcrimes*
I just don’t understand how anyone could justify this without feeling at least a little bit draconian.
Yes, humility is a virtue.
So is temperance.
go lighter on Ad-mode. Truly, every 20 seconds is time-usury to the viewer.
I believe there should be atonement made for any wrongdoing anyone commits, but to consider anyone should suffer for eternity for any wrongdoing they commited seems absurd and supremely immoral.
One might say, but any wrongdoing anyone commits may have eternal effects. Perhaps so, but so what? If the emotional and/or physical suffering caused by wrongdoing is what determines the nature of the divine punishment the guilty receives, and that wrongdoing has a finite effect in terms of emotional and/or physical suffering, how is that proportional and therefore reasonable to believe eternal suffering is a perfectly fair form of divine justice? Emotional and physical suffering is finite in duration, intensity and kind in this mode of existence. Moreover, in the wake of evil, good can be done.
And regardless if the divine punishments of Hell would be proportionate in terms of their duration, intensity and kind, to the effects of the wrongdoings anyone commits, it still doesn't make sense. Of what good does it do for any soul to suffer eternally? If the eternal suffering that all soul's in Hell experience is non-redemptive, then how would it be good for such a God to willfully sustain any soul's existence in such a state?
Currently, the most reasonable form of divine justice that I'm aware of is an aspect of some near death experience accounts that has been designated as a _life review._ Some of the descriptions of the so called life review that I've read/heard of seem very reasonable to me.
For example, according to some descriptions of the life review, whatever good or evil anyone commits while they're alive, they'll experience the affect they had on others and nature, both positive and negative. Why? So they can have a proper understanding of the cause and effect their choices have in objective reality, and therefore be properly equipped to grow spiritually, in this mode of existence (if they're able and willing to return), and/or another mode of existence.

Christ spoke about the existence of Hell in 240 verses of the New Testament. How many times did Christ speak or allude to the existence of Purgatory? Answer 0. How many times did any of the Apostles who were with Christ during His 3 year ministry or after Christ ascension into Heaven ever mention, or allude to Purgatory? Answer Zero.
2 Maccabees 12:41-46, 2 Timothy 1:18, Matthew 12:32, Luke 16:19-16:26, Luke 23:43, 1 Corinthians 3:11-3:15 and Hebrews 12:29
You’re welcome
@@tommym1341 I won't thank you, but I appreciate your efforts. None of your scripture quotes come close to an intentional or un-intentional reference to Purgatory. I looked up all your scriptural quotes in the New American Bible St Joseph Edition sponsored by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops USCCB.org which is a study Bible. Guess what their study notes, on some of these verses provide no reference positively or negatively on Purgatory.
The only one that mention Purgatory at all is 2 Maccabees 12:41-45 which refutes the use of it to justify the concept of purgatory ( Christ certainly did not say it) 2 Maccabees footnote says the following " [-] This is the earliest statement of the doctrine that prayers (v. ) and sacrifices (v. ) for the dead are efficacious. Judas probably intended his purification offering to ward off punishment from the living. The author, however, uses the story to demonstrate belief in the resurrection of the just (, , , ), and in the possibility of expiation for the sins of otherwise good people who have died. This belief is similar to, but not quite the same as, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory.
Tommy M logically don't you think Christ or His Apostles would have explain Purgatory as it changes God's Salvation Plan for mankind in a huge way. Purgatory was invented by the Church in the 13th century. And it basically says while God forgives you your sins, you still have to go to prison and suffer for some period of time to pay for them. The Doctrine of Purgatory is contrary to the Father God's Salvation Plan for mankind that He and His Son Jesus Christ agreed to before the foundation of the World. It is also contrary to every word spoken by Christ in His 3 year ministry on Earth, and is best expressed in *1 John 1-10* see verse 7
*The Word of Life* 1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life- 2 for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us- 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing this so that our joy may be complete.
*II. God as Light* 5 God is Light. Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. 10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

There is a purgatory because there is God’s justice. God gives us crosses so we have a chance to avoid purgatory but there is no free lunch. There or here, if one is to be saved.
@@tommym1341 So what you are saying, is you think that the sacrifice that Christ made in His Death on the Cross, which eliminated all sin, that had occurred, was occurring, and would occur in the future, was not good enough for you. You are rejecting His gift to you? And you think you must perform works to ensure eternal life for yourself. You don't care that God loves you unconditional and all He asks of you is to believe in His Son, and to avoid sin. You think you can perform enough meaningful works that Christ will be pleased to acknowledge on Judgment Day and you will be acceptable. The Pharisees of Jesus time, was scolded time and time again by Christ for this very belief in doing it themselves as imperfect human beings.
Read slowly the teachings of St, Paul and St John on what I what I have said to you.
(Ephesians 2:8-10) For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God;
it is not from works, so no one may boast.
For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.
(John 3: 14:18)And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Bill Smith
Who told you that Christ’s death on the cross eliminated sin?
That’s some faulty logic because if it’s true it means we don’t have free will
Christ’s death redeemed His followers from the penalty of sin, that is, they have an opportunity to be saved IF they continue to fight the good fight (I.e choose not to sin etc..) until He calls them (I.e when they die)
Hell is real. Purgatory is nonsense.
I believe in hell for do not I do not believe that one mortal sin put you into hell
There is NO such a place called HELL! burning with evil ppl! This is not Biblical! Hell is an event to take place after 1000yrs in heaven! Where in Bible says all this? No where. You ppl instill fear in the ignorant, that they will worship with false hope. The love of God, sent his son. Only by faith, which produces obedience to his truth, his law. Otherwise, no lawless one enter in!
Read the Bible will ya!
Here's one. "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment."
-2 Peter 2:4
