Father Göring, I am writing to you from Valencia (Spain) where we are suffering the consequences of a terrible flood last Tuesday, with more than 200 dead and 1900 missing so far. I would like to ask the followers of your UA-cam channel a prayer for the souls of the deceased, the missing and their families. God bless you all !!! Viva Cristo Rey
Well, the Bible (God) clearly tells us the dead do NOT communicate with the living! These are demon spirits you fools! Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten'. Job 7:9-10 "As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more
@mikeoz4803 Jesus told the Sadducees that the had misunderstood the Bible and were in error. That the God of Abraham, Issac, Jacob was the God of the Living, not the Dead. And Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the mountain, Peter, James, John saw them speaking with Jesus about His coming suffering and death. Moses and Elijah were alive, they knew what was happening and going to happen on Earth, and they still cared. After Jesus Resurrection, many tombs of the saints became opened, they were raised from the dead and they appeared to people.
That’s why it’s so important to pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased. They are undergoing a tremendous journey upon their passing. We must pray for their soul and for the Lord’s mercy. Edited for spelling.
I often think about Fatima and our Blessed Mother telling the children when they asked about a villager that had passed away that she would be in purgatory until the end of the world. It scares me because I have surly done 10,000 things 10,000 times worse than whatever a simple villager would have been capable of doing back then. Lord have mercy.
Perhaps that was indeed her fate at the time those words were said by Our Blessed Mother. But what if someone were to offer worthily a plenary indulgence on her behalf?
@@McCormick100 If you fully accept the love and Devine mercy of our savior, Jesus Christ, into your heart then you will be forgiven. His Devine blood is the price paid for your sins. Confess your since in the sacrament of reconciliation, repent, believe, change your life and resolve to be a messenger of Christ in the world, and you will have a chance at being seated at the table when your time comes. Jesus saves all. I pray the world learns of this before it’s too late.
Thank you Fr. Mark, this is so encouraging! A few months ago, I was driving home from church, having abandoned myself to the Lord in Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, I was given a grace to just let go and trust the Lord completely. I was tested a few days later, and I still clung to the Lord in trust, even though I wavered a little at times. For the first time in my life, I am now experiencing a peace and joy that I have never experienced before. I feel truly ALIVE!! God is good, and doesn’t want any of us lost. What can be better than to abandon oneself in the incompressible and unending love of God!? God bless.🕊🙏🏻
@@paulineclarke7174 Just ask for the grace. The Lord knows your heart. Sometimes He lets us wait, to test our faith but don’t give up asking. For me, I needed to surrender all my fears and will, and to become like a little child in blind faith, hope and love. This has truly liberated my life! God bless you.🙏🏻🕊
@kategoddard5076 I find this nteresting. Just this last summer I felt a very clear message to totally depend on God. I was about to embark on a pilgrimage of sorts. To be honest, it felt more like an order than a request. And I fear I only passed at about 85% But it did give me a freeing sense of "just go". I am notorious for second guessing myself, and that was all gone. Whatever was to happen, I was certain it would be the will of God . And the possibility of death crossed my mind. But, our Lord got me safely home, though there were some uncertain moments. I gotta say, I feel so incredibly honored that God even thought of me for that window if time. We are living in a difficult time, but I think we are also living in a very holy time. May Christ continue to guide your journey.
Can you describe in more detail what this abandonment is like in terms of the day by day, moment by moment application? I feel such a strong pull towards this call of abandonment to God's will, but I struggle with constant uncertainty about what actually is his will and self doubt about whether in actually following it. It's one of my most frequent prayers that he will teach me this.
Jesus already cleaned us up when he shed his blood for our sins. He wasn’t crucified so we could go to semi hell after we die. He died for our salvation not our purification.
@@ladyluck5248 You are so right ! This false doctrine of purgatory contradicts what the Bible says: (1 Corinthians 6:20) For you have been bought with >> A GREAT PRICE WAS MADE FOR US
How to abandon myself completely to God? This is something that I’ve always wondered and struggled with. I second-guess myself. I don’t know sometimes sometimes my voice from the Lords voice. Pray for me all of you. I don’t want to be in scrupulosity, but I want to be in God’s favor.❤
I believe that the vast majority of us struggle as you do. Our blessed mother told me a long time ago qoute"don't try to be number one just do your best"unquote. I've been working on it ever since. If we had perfect humility we would be perfect. And no one is perfect. We are our biggest cross.
A few things we can suggest. Daily rosary. Angelus Three Hail Marys morning and night The Memorare Brown Scapular Medal of St. Bedal of St. Benedict AND the related prayer (frequently).
I think it's moment by moment. We can start by surrendering everything in our life, the good and the bad, to God through the hands of Mother Mary. If you can't do that, I think it's still good to be honest. "God, I know I need to surrender this, but I need your help to even do that" Then throughout each day, when we start worrying or wondering what to do in life, I think we can stop and offload these concerns to Mother Mary. With each day we ask for the wisdom to know what to pursue and what to cease, and when we feel those tugs on our heart to do or not do something, we admit we don't have the strength and instead ask for the grace to do the will of God for that moment. While I'm often still stubborn, I know when I stop and surrender in the moment, those things that seemed difficult before starting then become easier, calming, and peaceful.
This video actually gave me some much-needed ease on a personal issue. My family just became Catholic this Easter before my 41st birthday. And basically, my father was a lapsed Catholic who stopped practicing as a teen. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this year and passed. Before dying, I said he should go to confession and reenter the church. I had been praying for his conversion and knew this might be my opportunity. Ultimately, he denied the church and passed without confession. I am leaving a lot of details out for the sake of a UA-cam comment but I did/do pray for him every day and I have offered up Mass for him. This experience made me realize how much the souls in purgatory need us and since I work nights, I attend daily Mass after work.
Welcome home to your family 🙏🕊️ Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Dear Lord show me what I haven’t given to you I desire to please you and to be clean I want not to bring you any shame I want to shine a light for others to see you Jesus in me You are loving and kind that I desire to be Amen
Padre Pio said, "I believe that not a great number of souls go to hell. God loves us so much. He formed us in his image. God loves us beyond understanding. And it is my belief that when we have passed from the consciousness of the world, when we appear to be dead, God, before He judges us, will give us a chance to see and understand what sin really is. And if we understand it properly, how could we fail to repent?”
Yes please give a credible traceable source. Not, “Fr. So n’ So, who knew a priest who stayed near Padre Pio and talked to him for 30 seconds one time.” I’m talking like a real source.
There is no repentance in the grave: there is no conversion after the last breath is drawn. Now is the time to believe in Christ, and to lay hold of eternal life.” “Apart from me you can do nothing” is a statement from the Bible, John 15:5, that means without Jesus' divine help, people are unable to do anything. The full verse is: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. Some say that this verse should make people humble, thankful, and desperate for Jesus. It can also shape how people pray, forgive, serve, and worship. Matthew 7:14: "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few". In this passage, Jesus is speaking to a large crowd about two paths, or gates, that people can follow in life. The narrow gate represents a path that leads to life, while the wide gate represents a path that leads to destruction. Jesus is warning that many people are following the wide gate, which is a path that depends on oneself and trying to impress others. The phrase “narrow is the gate, and only a few find it” is a metaphor from the Bible that appears in Matthew 7:14. It describes the path to life as difficult and requiring effort, and that only a small number of people will find it: Narrow gate Represents a path of genuine love from the heart, and the only way to salvation through Christ. A narrow gate is harder to pass through than one that is wide, and only a few people can go through a narrow gate at once. Jesus was describing the pathway to life-true, eternal life-as something requiring effort and focus to enter. Only a relatively small number of people ever even set foot on that path. The narrow path is difficult, long, disciplined, and thoughtful. It can require putting the needs of others above your own, keeping priorities straight, and battling anger and resentment. Wide gate Represents a life of outward righteousness that hides inner corruption, and leads to destruction Jesus used the metaphor to warn his followers about the Jewish religious leaders who were leading them astray. The wide gate represents a culture of self-dependence, self-righteousness, and wanting to appear better than others.
ST. PADRE PIO: “I trust Jesus so completely that even if I were so see hell open up before me, and find myself on the brink of the abyss, I should not lose confidence. I should not despair but continue to trust Him. Such is the extent to which His meekness inspires me.” ST. PADRE PIO: “You must have boundless faith in the divine goodness, for the victory is absolutely certain. How could you think otherwise? Isn’t our God more concerned about our salvation than we are ourselves? Isn’t he stronger than hell itself? Who can ever resist and overcome the King of the heavens? What are the world, the devil, the flesh and all our enemies before the Lord?”
To abandon one’s self is a grace and gift from God. How difficult it is to embrace those gifts and graces is to love God fully above all things of this earth.
Father I don't know what I would do without you. I am 75 years old and, to be honest I am worried about dying. One hears so many different things. You keep me on track to my Savior Jesus Christ. I wanted to join your reading club but I don't have enough money. I can't drive anymore and I can't get to church to receive the sacraments. At home I pray the rosary every day and the Divine Mercy prayer. I also pray for the poor souls daily. I hope I am doing enough
If you can set up weekly Holy Communion to be delivered to you at home that would be ideal❤ My mom is 83 and has Jesus delivered. She has perked up and is talking for an hour at a time now instead of straight to bed or bathroom. 🙌
Asking Jesus constantly - what He wants us to do - seems to be a way to really follow His will - leading us to heaven. Make a good confession - then Be at peace. Praying for you, dear one. You are precious in hHis sight. ❤
So that your conscience may be at rest there is more you must do. You MUST call your parish and see if they have a Eucharistic Minister who can bring the Eucharist to you and you should also ask the priest to come to your home to hear your confession if you are unable to get to Church. The parish may also be able to find someone to give you a ride for Sunday Mass. If you are unable to get to Church, that is one thing, but if you have decided on your own that you don't want to but will do the rosary and divine mercy instead, that is a dangerous path. It is true that at a certain age or certain stage of health people can be released from the obligation to attend Mass, but in most places the Eucharist can be brought to them and they can ask to have a priest come once a month or when they feel the need to hear their confession. Also, if your health is poor, you should ask for the anointing of the sick. The issue is if you have done all you can to receive the Sacraments. You may find you CAN get to Mass and CAN have your confession heard and CAN have the anointing of the sick and that would be a great blessing.
*Blessed All Souls Day* Praying for the souls of my dearly departed loved ones, and all of the faithful departed, today and always. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. ♥️ “Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: 'Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-57) 💀Memento Mori 💀 ♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️
Father Goring, My brother in law is agonizing those days. I followed him in couple of his group meetings for people who are in "mental/spiritual process before living their personal passage". I have been present with him and I stupidly didn't say a goodbye, as a simple good "thanks to have been a good brother-in-law". Today, I learned that he'll go at "his last home for dying person". I believe, he wants "simple reception", a family reunion... I'm not a priest but, By the grace of God, I hope to see him with my angel to guide me through simple good last words with him. I pray, by God's grace, my words will dispose him to receive God in peace. Your words, your message, specially those days, reminds me words of Luc de Larochelière in his song "Si fragile" ; we are all fragile; we need God, "...and we carry our cross". In his poem, his lyrics "Aussitôt on se croie un dieu, Aussitôt on porte une croix". I know you can speak French. Otherwise, it's one of the best ways to learn a little more French, and Luc de Larochelière is one really good Quebecer French singer that resume poetically a generation. But, my best words would be from God. Thanks for your teaching, I believe your words. God bless you, Fr Goring.
Thank you, Fr. Mark! This is my example #1 on why we need to understand the complete teaching of our faith. God bless the nuns at my school, but it never ocurred to me in a million years that you could get to heaven from purgatory. I guess they thought that was self evident. I was 40 when an incredible former pastor decided we all needed to understand St John of the Cross, and many other spiritual writers, that I finally started to connect the dots. I do regret that I did not understand more when I was young. Keep talking, and please encourage your fellow priests to keep talking. Be brave and go for the deep homilies. People will sit up and listen. And we need to hear. May God bless you and keep you forever. Viva Christo Rey!

Thank you Fr Mark. I can only hope to get to purgatory and once clean I would gladly stay at the doorway singing and praying to encourage whoever is there. I know so many saints in heaven prayed for me to get me back on track in living our Catholic faith so I make sure to pray for the Church suffering so they can join in the Church Triumphant asap!
The heresy of universal salvation for all needs to be addressed immediately. I’ve been to many Catholic funerals where the deceased is canonized by the priest to make everyone feel good. God bless.
@ I don’t believe so.. The Church teaches that all those in Heaven are saints… my point is, I’ve heard too many priests say at a funeral that the deceased is already with God in Heaven… perhaps so, but I never knew the ‘priest’ can determine their fate. Only God can judge. God bless.
St Paul says that everything that is not of God must be burned up like useless chaff before entering Heaven. That is where Catholic Church got Purgatory. We are Fallen Mankind. We don't realize how easy evil comes to us and is natural to us. When I haven't watched TV for a while and then I start watching it, I have to readjust myself to the regular sinfulness of it, Both in the obvious, and also in the subtle, the unkindness, the uncaring, the disregard for others feelings, the put downs, etc Jesus said deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Me. We need to deny our natural easy evil inclinations to sin both obvious sins and everyday sins of not being as kind and compassionate as Jesus calls us to be in the Gospels.
@stevehammett2008 Many Protestants. For anyone who struggles regarding Mary's role in our lives. Mary Jesus Mother. God gave commandment honor father, mother. Solomon honored his mother by making Queen Mother. Jesus makes Mary Queen of Heaven. Mary stood by foot of Cross as Jesus died. As Simon had prophesied, sword pierced Mary's heart when soldier pierced Jesus' Heart. Mary who held baby Jesus in stable, now held Jesus' lifeless body at Cross. Mary in Upper Room midst of apostles when Holy Spirit came. Mary remained faithful. Jesus said God is, God of Abraham Isaac Jacob. God of Living, not Dead. Mary also alive with God at Jesus side in Heaven praying for us. Moses & Elijah appear talking with Jesus about coming suffering. They were still aware what happening on Earth & cared. So does Mary.
Fr. Mark, I have always loved your admonition of striving for Heaven; this should be our plan 'A', Purgatory is the backup plan 'B'! I really appreciate your encouragement us in the Laity! 🙏🙏
I pray for a close friend that died that was Jewish. He wasn't particularly religious, but he believed in God. Like you mentioned, I can't imagine anyone dying, seeing the Glory of God, and casting themselves into Hell. I do talk to and know people that mock religious faith.
@@jaymaynes pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for the Holy soul s and the living who mock GOD, like David when the Benjamite mocked him shouted abuse at him true stone s in the end justice came to that man, in the Great Divine Mercy if we repent, one will be protected from the Holy judgement of GOD TRUST HIS SON OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
❤ Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy Christ hear us Christ graciously hear us God bless everyone who reads this, may the blood of Christ cover us all. ❤ ❤️🔥"Lord Jesus Christ, by your precious sacrifice, you have opened the wellspring of salvation. May the water from your side wash us clean, purifying our hearts from all sin, that we may be worthy to stand in your presence and receive your eternal grace. Amen." ❤ Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Forgive us oh Lord for we have sins as a nation and you're people have become complacent with the ways of the world. Many things are accepted today that we know you hate, but we are a minority. Spare us who see the evil and turn away, oh merciful God. Jesus we trust in You.
Thank you for your video, Fr. Mark. Yes., this is like a new beginning for the US. My husband and I were up till almost 3 in the morning last night watching President Trump speech. I had tears in my eyes because I was so relieved that he was elected. The last eight years have been like a darkness has descended upon America, and I hardly dared to believe Trump would actually be reelected. Hallelujah and all praise be to God that President Trump is back. For all the nay-sayers, no he’s not perfect but neither am I and American American needs this man to be president at this point in history. He inspires us to try to be better than what we are now. Viva Cristo Rey!!
Purgatory is not a place of comfort. It is fire, it is suffering, first for being away from God and second it takes a lot of suffering to be purged of our sins. It is a painful process. Thank God for His mercy…!!!
St. Catherine of Genoa (1551): “I believe no happiness can be found worthy to be compared with that of a soul in Purgatory except that of the saints in Paradise: and day by day this happiness grows as God flows into these souls.” In some popular prayers and devotions, and in some spiritual writings, purgatory is described as sort of a temporary hell, and differing from hell only in that those in purgatory know they will eventually go to heaven. However, the Catechism of the Catholic Church rejects that view of purgatory. The Catholic Church does not teach that purgatory is a place or that those in purgatory experience the pain of fire: purgatory is not a “mini-hell,” and is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. CCC1031
Thank you Fr. Mark. When I was young and didn't really know or practice my Catholic Faith I thought pretty much everyone went to Heaven. But the more I live out my Faith (mass, praying, praying the rosary, reading Holy Scripture, etc) I feel most people go to Purgatory or Hell. Only a tiny percent go directly to Heaven.
Thank you, Fr Mark, for your love compassion and guidance. God bless you always and keep you safe. Blessed be to God our Father whos love is never ending. xo
❤❤❤ The Virgin Mother does not LIE, why would she tell the 3 children at Fatima, the greatest number of peope go to Hell.❤❤❤ Thankyou for finally revealing the TRUTH, no wonder many are fooled in these times.
Today is a chance to release souls from Purgatory through the Grace of God. We are asked to pray. Theres 4 hours left in this day. Pray and pray relentlessly.
Dad received an Annointing before he took his last breathe. Praise be to God he went straight up ! He came to my sister in a dream and said I am around you all the time. Don’t miss an opportunity to go to confession and go to mass. Each mass you go to, you have a Saint with you when you die!🙏❤️
The Catholic doctrine known as The Fewness of The Saved has been deliberately hidden from the laity for more than half a century. "The number of the elect is so small - so small - that, were we to know how small it is, we would faint away with grief: one here and there, scattered up and down the world."-- St. Louis Marie de Montfort. St. Leonard of Port Maurice gathered together the Church's teaching and the revelations of many, many saints to show that they all agree that few adults who die escape Hell. You have found a "revelation" you prefer. Go with it you will see where it takes you and your followers, but it will be too late.
I started a three day fast this morning. Thank you for this message.i'm 47yrs old $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways!!!!❤️❤️
Total abandonment is quite the goal to strive for in today’s world- so many distractions. That is why God gives us the blessed Communion of Saints to help us on our way ✝️💙
Praise be Jesus-Christ! So God is love. Purgatory prepares the souls for love in the sense that the fire of love renders them capable of love. The love they become capable of is what purifies them. Special graces augment that fire to accelerate the process (we pray for them). The great suffering is longing for God.
The greatest penance we can do is not one that is rigorous in a sense that it makes us feel miserable and lose all hope. The greatest penance is the one of sincerity. If we acknowledge oir sins and wekanesses to God, God Himself will fill us with his love and we will be able to do His will.
Padre Pio told a woman in the confessional, “Never say to God, ‘I have sinned, and therefore I deserve your punishment.’ Instead, say, ‘Lord, I have sinned. Give me Your grace and mercy.’ We must fear God’s justice, but always with a deep confidence in His mercy.”
❤ I've read where they say you must be spotless of sin to enter heaven, and purgatory is kind of a torturous "car wash"for the soul. I've been told that it's a painful place filled with suffering souls awaiting their release. I guess we'll find out after we die someday. I'm far from spotless myself, so I will do everything I can to shorten my time there. Knowing people like I do, I'm sure it will be standing room only in Hell. I do know that pride walks before all sin, and to think you'll go straight to heaven is straight up prideful and arrogant. I wasn't raised in a coconut tree, so I'm not going to risk that thinking. We're talking eternity here, so we better get it right, because we only have the one chance. If you're not a saint, you'll probably do time in one of those other 2 places. ❤ "When the soul reaches the state of perfection, it enters into divine union in which it has become wholly like God... Nothing imperfect will enter into God’s love, and, as such, purification is necessary for divine union." Saint John of the Cross ❤ "But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life." Revelation 21:27
I always believe that most souls will go through Purgatory before entering Heaven because we are all sinners and lack of love for God in our everydays life. Keep praying
Iv a friend who is a priest and he once said to me nobody wants to die but everyone wants to go to heaven. But to go to heaven u have to die.. And I believe all of what u are saying!
Thank you Father. I do often pray for the grace of a happy death (i.e. with the sacraments); now I will also pray for the grace to completely abandon myself to God's Mercy at the time of death. Saint Faustina also wrote about this. Jesus I trust in You.
I have come to understand that if I am a sinner today and I die tonight I will still be a sinner tomorrow when my soul goes to my Jesus. So I will definitely need some purification before I could be ready to be one with the beatific vision.
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Ms Evelyn Vera🇺🇸..
Same here waking up every 14th of each month to 210,000 dollars it’s a blessing to I and my family… I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Ms Evelyn Vera
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Our abandon to God or to make space within us and allowing for God's power to guide us , is the simplest of action but the hardest thing to achieve. We are full to the brim with desires for things of this world and we are so strongly affected by them that is difficult to give anything up. As anyone who has done fasting found out. However, all the great Prophets have carried it out and also encouraged people to fast. Sincere intention for fasting , for whatever reasons, gets result. No doubts about it.
This life is so very difficult and painful.Why would God place people in the fire to burn? That would be very cruel. There is so much pain in this life.
"Listen to how far your confidence must go! It must make you believe that purgatory is not made for you, but only for souls who have misunderstood merciful Love, or who have doubted its purifying power." Ste Thérèse de l'enfant Jésus et de la Sainte face 😇🥰🙏🏻✝️
I will never abandon Jesus, as he is the only one who suffered for me, if they want to execute me because of my worship of Christ then so be it, but think on this, A lot can happen in a lifetime, and the worst being dying, but even that has a bright side as it can only happen once If I am executed because I believe in Christ I will rejoice as no purgatory for Me I wait for My Lord Jesus . As I am a sinner I would welcome this in a heartbeat
I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting. income of $41,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
If you leave me to my own devices , I am a disaster , I must pray everyday and ask for God's help 24/7 , I am a weak sinner and must ask Jesus to take my hand and lead me through this Valley of tears everyday , life on earth is a Spiritual War , good vs evil.
"Abandonment"- is the same as "Trust in Jesus!" That is how the Great Saints got Great! Joyfully going 2 their death... They wer consumed in Love 4 Christ, & confident in His Love 4 them!❤ Well... my slant anyway.
Father Göring, I am writing to you from Valencia (Spain) where we are suffering the consequences of a terrible flood last Tuesday, with more than 200 dead and 1900 missing so far.

After Jesus Resurrection, many tombs of the saints became opened, they were raised from the dead and they appeared to people.
That’s why it’s so important to pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased. They are undergoing a tremendous journey upon their passing. We must pray for their soul and for the Lord’s mercy. Edited for spelling.
I often think about Fatima and our Blessed Mother telling the children when they asked about a villager that had passed away that she would be in purgatory until the end of the world. It scares me because I have surly done 10,000 things 10,000 times worse than whatever a simple villager would have been capable of doing back then. Lord have mercy.
Perhaps that was indeed her fate at the time those words were said by Our Blessed Mother. But what if someone were to offer worthily a plenary indulgence on her behalf?
@@McCormick100 If you fully accept the love and Devine mercy of our savior, Jesus Christ, into your heart then you will be forgiven. His Devine blood is the price paid for your sins. Confess your since in the sacrament of reconciliation, repent, believe, change your life and resolve to be a messenger of Christ in the world, and you will have a chance at being seated at the table when your time comes. Jesus saves all. I pray the world learns of this before it’s too late.
We can also suffer well here and offer up our earthly suffering

So grateful to have such a fine Priest to teach and to remind us of the precious truths of our Faith. God bless you, Father.
Thank you Fr. Mark, this is so encouraging! A few months ago, I was driving home from church, having abandoned myself to the Lord in Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, I was given a grace to just let go and trust the Lord completely. I was tested a few days later, and I still clung to the Lord in trust, even though I wavered a little at times. For the first time in my life, I am now experiencing a peace and joy that I have never experienced before. I feel truly ALIVE!! God is good, and doesn’t want any of us lost. What can be better than to abandon oneself in the incompressible and unending love of God!?
God bless.🕊🙏🏻
I truly desire this Grace to submit my all to Jesus. I want to live His will. God has truly blessed you. 😊
@@paulineclarke7174 Just ask for the grace. The Lord knows your heart. Sometimes He lets us wait, to test our faith but don’t give up asking. For me, I needed to surrender all my fears and will, and to become like a little child in blind faith, hope and love. This has truly liberated my life! God bless you.🙏🏻🕊
How do you guys write so beautiful things? Exposition, clung, incompressible and undending. It's a very pretty form of writing.
@kategoddard5076 I find this nteresting. Just this last summer I felt a very clear message to totally depend on God. I was about to embark on a pilgrimage of sorts. To be honest, it felt more like an order than a request. And I fear I only passed at about 85% But it did give me a freeing sense of "just go". I am notorious for second guessing myself, and that was all gone. Whatever was to happen, I was certain it would be the will of God . And the possibility of death crossed my mind. But, our Lord got me safely home, though there were some uncertain moments. I gotta say, I feel so incredibly honored that God even thought of me for that window if time. We are living in a difficult time, but I think we are also living in a very holy time. May Christ continue to guide your journey.
Can you describe in more detail what this abandonment is like in terms of the day by day, moment by moment application? I feel such a strong pull towards this call of abandonment to God's will, but I struggle with constant uncertainty about what actually is his will and self doubt about whether in actually following it. It's one of my most frequent prayers that he will teach me this.
Great commentary, especially in this month of mercy for the Church Penitent. I pray for those souls daily! Jesus have mercy.
Jesus already cleaned us up when he shed his blood for our sins. He wasn’t crucified so we could go to semi hell after we die. He died for our salvation not our purification.
@@ladyluck5248, It’s not a semi hell. Purgatory in the Bible; 1Cor3:10-16, 1Peter3;19; 4:6; Matt5:21-26. Matt12:32. Luke12:58-59. Luke16:12.

You are so right ! This false doctrine of purgatory contradicts what the Bible says: (1 Corinthians 6:20) For you have been bought with >> A GREAT PRICE WAS MADE FOR US
I'm really enjoying Father Goring and Father Alar's talks on youtube. I've learned a lot of my catholic faith. Bless you Father.
How to abandon myself completely to God? This is something that I’ve always wondered and struggled with. I second-guess myself. I don’t know sometimes sometimes my voice from the Lords voice. Pray for me all of you. I don’t want to be in scrupulosity, but I want to be in God’s favor.❤
I believe that the vast majority of us struggle as you do. Our blessed mother told me a long time ago qoute"don't try to be number one just do your best"unquote. I've been working on it ever since. If we had perfect humility we would be perfect. And no one is perfect. We are our biggest cross.
A few things we can suggest.
Daily rosary.
Angelus
Three Hail Marys morning and night
The Memorare
Brown Scapular
Medal of St. Bedal of St. Benedict AND the related prayer (frequently).
I think it's moment by moment. We can start by surrendering everything in our life, the good and the bad, to God through the hands of Mother Mary. If you can't do that, I think it's still good to be honest. "God, I know I need to surrender this, but I need your help to even do that" Then throughout each day, when we start worrying or wondering what to do in life, I think we can stop and offload these concerns to Mother Mary. With each day we ask for the wisdom to know what to pursue and what to cease, and when we feel those tugs on our heart to do or not do something, we admit we don't have the strength and instead ask for the grace to do the will of God for that moment. While I'm often still stubborn, I know when I stop and surrender in the moment, those things that seemed difficult before starting then become easier, calming, and peaceful.
Asking the Saints to pray for you and us 🙏
@@steven9438this is very reassuring. Thank you
This video actually gave me some much-needed ease on a personal issue. My family just became Catholic this Easter before my 41st birthday.
And basically, my father was a lapsed Catholic who stopped practicing as a teen. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this year and passed.
Before dying, I said he should go to confession and reenter the church. I had been praying for his conversion and knew this might be my opportunity.
Ultimately, he denied the church and passed without confession.
I am leaving a lot of details out for the sake of a UA-cam comment but I did/do pray for him every day and I have offered up Mass for him.
This experience made me realize how much the souls in purgatory need us and since I work nights, I attend daily Mass after work.
I prayed for your father, dear one.
Keep praying…🙏🏻✝️
Welcome home to your family 🙏🕊️
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Padre Pio said, "I believe that not a great number of souls go to hell. God loves us so much. He formed us in his image. God loves us beyond understanding. And it is my belief that when we have passed from the consciousness of the world, when we appear to be dead, God, before He judges us, will give us a chance to see and understand what sin really is. And if we understand it properly, how could we fail to repent?”
Source?
Because the Church teaches once we die we cannot repent.
Yes please give a credible traceable source. Not, “Fr. So n’ So, who knew a priest who stayed near Padre Pio and talked to him for 30 seconds one time.” I’m talking like a real source.
There is no repentance in the grave: there is no conversion after the last breath is drawn. Now is the time to believe in Christ, and to lay hold of eternal life.”
“Apart from me you can do nothing” is a statement from the Bible, John 15:5, that means without Jesus' divine help, people are unable to do anything. The full verse is:
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”.
Some say that this verse should make people humble, thankful, and desperate for Jesus. It can also shape how people pray, forgive, serve, and worship.
Matthew 7:14: "For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few".
In this passage, Jesus is speaking to a large crowd about two paths, or gates, that people can follow in life. The narrow gate represents a path that leads to life, while the wide gate represents a path that leads to destruction. Jesus is warning that many people are following the wide gate, which is a path that depends on oneself and trying to impress others.
The phrase “narrow is the gate, and only a few find it” is a metaphor from the Bible that appears in Matthew 7:14. It describes the path to life as difficult and requiring effort, and that only a small number of people will find it:
Narrow gate
Represents a path of genuine love from the heart, and the only way to salvation through Christ.
A narrow gate is harder to pass through than one that is wide, and only a few people can go through a narrow gate at once. Jesus was describing the pathway to life-true, eternal life-as something requiring effort and focus to enter. Only a relatively small number of people ever even set foot on that path.
The narrow path is difficult, long, disciplined, and thoughtful. It can require putting the needs of others above your own, keeping priorities straight, and battling anger and resentment.
Wide gate
Represents a life of outward righteousness that hides inner corruption, and leads to destruction
Jesus used the metaphor to warn his followers about the Jewish religious leaders who were leading them astray. The wide gate represents a culture of self-dependence, self-righteousness, and wanting to appear better than others.
ST. PADRE PIO: “I trust Jesus so completely that even if I were so see hell open up before me, and find myself on the brink of the abyss, I should not lose confidence. I should not despair but continue to trust Him. Such is the extent to which His meekness inspires me.”
ST. PADRE PIO: “You must have boundless faith in the divine goodness, for the victory is absolutely certain. How could you think otherwise? Isn’t our God more concerned about our salvation than we are ourselves? Isn’t he stronger than hell itself? Who can ever resist and overcome the King of the heavens? What are the world, the devil, the flesh and all our enemies before the Lord?”

Dearest view ers All Souls day!
Thanks for teaching us, dear Fr Goring. May God bless all your endeavours in pastoring us.
To abandon one’s self is a grace and gift from God. How difficult it is to embrace those gifts and graces is to love God fully above all things of this earth.
Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray the Rosary daily for her intentions. Love her.
Father I don't know what I would do without you. I am 75 years old and, to be honest I am worried about dying. One hears so many different things. You keep me on track to my Savior Jesus Christ. I wanted to join your reading club but I don't have enough money. I can't drive anymore and I can't get to church to receive the sacraments. At home I pray the rosary every day and the Divine Mercy prayer. I also pray for the poor souls daily. I hope I am doing enough
I too am 76 and fear dying. Many health problems. My only goal is to enter Heaven!
If you can set up weekly Holy Communion to be delivered to you at home that would be ideal❤
My mom is 83 and has Jesus delivered. She has perked up and is talking for an hour at a time now instead of straight to bed or bathroom. 🙌
Asking Jesus constantly - what He wants us to do - seems to be a way to really follow His will - leading us to heaven. Make a good confession - then Be at peace. Praying for you, dear one. You are precious in hHis sight. ❤
So that your conscience may be at rest there is more you must do. You MUST call your parish and see if they have a Eucharistic Minister who can bring the Eucharist to you and you should also ask the priest to come to your home to hear your confession if you are unable to get to Church. The parish may also be able to find someone to give you a ride for Sunday Mass. If you are unable to get to Church, that is one thing, but if you have decided on your own that you don't want to but will do the rosary and divine mercy instead, that is a dangerous path. It is true that at a certain age or certain stage of health people can be released from the obligation to attend Mass, but in most places the Eucharist can be brought to them and they can ask to have a priest come once a month or when they feel the need to hear their confession. Also, if your health is poor, you should ask for the anointing of the sick. The issue is if you have done all you can to receive the Sacraments. You may find you CAN get to Mass and CAN have your confession heard and CAN have the anointing of the sick and that would be a great blessing.
Always trust in Jesus and he would put everything right praise God for his love amen 🙏🙏🙏

Father Goring,
My brother in law is agonizing those days. I followed him in couple of his group meetings for people who are in "mental/spiritual process before living their personal passage". I have been present with him and I stupidly didn't say a goodbye, as a simple good "thanks to have been a good brother-in-law".
Today, I learned that he'll go at "his last home for dying person". I believe, he wants "simple reception", a family reunion...
I'm not a priest but, By the grace of God, I hope to see him with my angel to guide me through simple good last words with him. I pray, by God's grace, my words will dispose him to receive God in peace.
Your words, your message, specially those days, reminds me words of Luc de Larochelière in his song "Si fragile" ; we are all fragile; we need God, "...and we carry our cross". In his poem, his lyrics "Aussitôt on se croie un dieu, Aussitôt on porte une croix". I know you can speak French. Otherwise, it's one of the best ways to learn a little more French, and Luc de Larochelière is one really good Quebecer French singer that resume poetically a generation.
But, my best words would be from God.
Thanks for your teaching, I believe your words.
God bless you, Fr Goring.

Thank you, Fr. Mark! This is my example #1 on why we need to understand the complete teaching of our faith. God bless the nuns at my school, but it never ocurred to me in a million years that you could get to heaven from purgatory. I guess they thought that was self evident. I was 40 when an incredible former pastor decided we all needed to understand St John of the Cross, and many other spiritual writers, that I finally started to connect the dots. I do regret that I did not understand more when I was young. Keep talking, and please encourage your fellow priests to keep talking. Be brave and go for the deep homilies. People will sit up and listen. And we need to hear. May God bless you and keep you forever. Viva Christo Rey!

Job 7:9-10 "As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more

The heresy of universal salvation for all needs to be addressed immediately. I’ve been to many Catholic funerals where the deceased is canonized by the priest to make everyone feel good. God bless.
Which is a dangerous thing to do because people are not encouraged to pray for that person who needs our intercession, like most of us. 🙏
@@decentguy11great point !
"canonised"- I believe you are mistaken 🎉
@
I don’t believe so.. The Church teaches that all those in Heaven are saints… my point is, I’ve heard too many priests say at a funeral that the deceased is already with God in Heaven… perhaps so, but I never knew the ‘priest’ can determine their fate. Only God can judge. God bless.
Oh purgatory is real. So is hell. And that's why they don't like our Lady.. she is light that leads them to her son and salvation. ❤
St Paul says that everything that is not of God must be burned up like useless chaff before entering Heaven. That is where Catholic Church got Purgatory.
We are Fallen Mankind. We don't realize how easy evil comes to us and is natural to us.
When I haven't watched TV for a while and then I start watching it, I have to readjust myself to the regular sinfulness of it, Both in the obvious, and also in the subtle, the unkindness, the uncaring, the disregard for others feelings, the put downs, etc
Jesus said deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Me. We need to deny our natural easy evil inclinations to sin both obvious sins and everyday sins of not being as kind and compassionate as Jesus calls us to be in the Gospels.
Who are the "they" who don't like Our Lady?

Purgatory is not a place of comfort. It is fire, it is suffering, first for being away from God and second it takes a lot of suffering to be purged of our sins. It is a painful process. Thank God for His mercy…!!!
St. Catherine of Genoa (1551):
“I believe no happiness can be found worthy to be compared with that of a soul in Purgatory except that of the saints in Paradise: and day by day this happiness grows as God flows into these souls.”
In some popular prayers and devotions, and in some spiritual writings, purgatory is described as sort of a temporary hell, and differing from hell only in that those in purgatory know they will eventually go to heaven. However, the Catechism of the Catholic Church rejects that view of purgatory. The Catholic Church does not teach that purgatory is a place or that those in purgatory experience the pain of fire: purgatory is not a “mini-hell,” and is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. CCC1031
I hope and pray I will be one of those people or even just a short time in purgatory God bless you fr mark 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Look up the prayer of daily neglects and say that everyday to help yourself.
Thank you Fr. Mark. When I was young and didn't really know or practice my Catholic Faith I thought pretty much everyone went to Heaven. But the more I live out my Faith (mass, praying, praying the rosary, reading Holy Scripture, etc) I feel most people go to Purgatory or Hell. Only a tiny percent go directly to Heaven.

The Catholic doctrine known as The Fewness of The Saved has been deliberately hidden from the laity for more than half a century.
"The number of the elect is so small - so small - that, were we to know how small it is, we would faint away with grief: one here and there, scattered up and down the world."-- St. Louis Marie de Montfort. St. Leonard of Port Maurice gathered together the Church's teaching and the revelations of many, many saints to show that they all agree that few adults who die escape Hell.
You have found a "revelation" you prefer. Go with it you will see where it takes you and your followers, but it will be too late.
Well said. This message also contradicts Our Lady of Fatima's message that most people go to hell.

I feel you're very close to the thruth Father Goring. Bless you!
Father Goring, Christ will be returning immently, this world we are living is about to fade away.
Praise be Jesus-Christ! So God is love. Purgatory prepares the souls for love in the sense that the fire of love renders them capable of love. The love they become capable of is what purifies them. Special graces augment that fire to accelerate the process (we pray for them). The great suffering is longing for God.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the Gift of Eternal Life. In Purgatory for final purification or direct to Heaven. All is Trust in you. Amen.
Father please remember in your Masses and prayers all my deceased family friends acquaintances and others. Thanks
The greatest penance we can do is not one that is rigorous in a sense that it makes us feel miserable and lose all hope. The greatest penance is the one of sincerity. If we acknowledge oir sins and wekanesses to God, God Himself will fill us with his love and we will be able to do His will.
Mark 9:49
For every one shall be salted with fire; and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Padre Pio told a woman in the confessional, “Never say to God, ‘I have sinned, and therefore I deserve your punishment.’ Instead, say, ‘Lord, I have sinned. Give me Your grace and mercy.’ We must fear God’s justice, but always with a deep confidence in His mercy.”
❤ I've read where they say you must be spotless of sin to enter heaven, and purgatory is kind of a torturous "car wash"for the soul. I've been told that it's a painful place filled with suffering souls awaiting their release. I guess we'll find out after we die someday.
I'm far from spotless myself, so I will do everything I can to shorten my time there. Knowing people like I do, I'm sure it will be standing room only in Hell.
I do know that pride walks before all sin, and to think you'll go straight to heaven is straight up prideful and arrogant. I wasn't raised in a coconut tree, so I'm not going to risk that thinking. We're talking eternity here, so we better get it right, because we only have the one chance.
If you're not a saint, you'll probably do time in one of those other 2 places.
❤ "When the soul reaches the state of perfection, it enters into divine union in which it has become wholly like God... Nothing imperfect will enter into God’s love, and, as such, purification is necessary for divine union." Saint John of the Cross

Thank you Fr Goring.
Thanks fr mark.for sharing
I always believe that most souls will go through Purgatory before entering Heaven because we are all sinners and lack of love for God in our everydays life. Keep praying
Iv a friend who is a priest and he once said to me nobody wants to die but everyone wants to go to heaven. But to go to heaven u have to die.. And I believe all of what u are saying!
Thank you Fr. Mark for this message!!! New subscriber here❤
It contradicts Our Lord, Matt 7:13. What will you believe, Medjugorje or Matthew's Gospel?
Thank you Father. I do often pray for the grace of a happy death (i.e. with the sacraments); now I will also pray for the grace to completely abandon myself to God's Mercy at the time of death. Saint Faustina also wrote about this. Jesus I trust in You.
I have come to understand that if I am a sinner today and I die tonight I will still be a sinner tomorrow when my soul goes to my Jesus. So I will definitely need some purification before I could be ready to be one with the beatific vision.
My poor mammy RIP always told me its like a bride on her wedding day. She would be immaculate and clean. God bless all the souls in purgatory. Amen 🙏
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $12,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Ms Evelyn Vera🇺🇸..
Hello how do you make such monthly??
I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down🤦🏼of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God🙏.
Same here
waking up every 14th of each
month to 210,000 dollars it’s a blessing to I and my family… I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income❤️Big gratitude to Ms Evelyn Vera
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Ms. Evelyn Vera.
I do know Ms. Evelyn Vera, I also have even become successful....
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.
Abandonment totally to God is a lot harder to do than to think about! Especially when you are in the midst of suffering.
Amen , Amen , Amen !
Our abandon to God or to make space within us and allowing for God's power to guide us , is the simplest of action but the hardest thing to achieve. We are full to the brim with desires for things of this world and we are so strongly affected by them that is difficult to give anything up. As anyone who has done fasting found out. However, all the great Prophets have carried it out and also encouraged people to fast. Sincere intention for fasting , for whatever reasons, gets result. No doubts about it.
Viva Cristo Rey ✝️ Jesus Christ is King!
This life is so very difficult and painful.Why would God place people in the fire to burn? That would be very cruel. There is so much pain in this life.
Your Bible verse for today is a good response to Protestants who ask - “Where’s Purgatory in the Bible ?”
Thank you fr. Mark viva cristo rey
Thank you Father🙏
"Listen to how far your confidence must go! It must make you believe that purgatory is not made for you, but only for souls who have misunderstood merciful Love, or who have doubted its purifying power."
Ste Thérèse de l'enfant Jésus et de la Sainte face 😇🥰🙏🏻✝️
Thank you Father as always.
I will never abandon Jesus, as he is the only one who suffered for me, if they want to execute me because of my worship of Christ then so be it, but think on this, A lot can happen in a lifetime, and the worst being dying, but even that has a bright side as it can only happen once
If I am executed because I believe in Christ I will rejoice as no purgatory for Me I wait for My Lord Jesus
.
As I am a sinner I would welcome this in a heartbeat
I came to the Lord asking for his blessings as a single mom because raising my son (Joel) was an act of courage despite all the challenges. And the Lord answered my prayers with a benefiting. income of $41,000 every month. To God be the glory. Joel is in school and life's been fair lately.
Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly
states there's going a transference of the
riches of the heathen to the righteous.God
keep blessings you
But how do you earn so much in a month? Mind sharing?
Thanks to Laura Walsh Morgan.
Really feel your pain, when I was even almost down my God sent to me Laura Walsh Morgan services cryp to me and changed the game automatically
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos about it but I still find it hard to understand.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful words. May God bless and protect you Fr Mark and all here.
If you leave me to my own devices , I am a disaster , I must pray everyday and ask for God's help 24/7 , I am a weak sinner and must ask Jesus to take my hand and lead me through this Valley of tears everyday , life on earth is a Spiritual War , good vs evil.
Pray the Rosary at least 3 times a day.
Accepting death God’s has decided for us! Not easy it takes accepting other sufferings along the way. Takes practice!
Just what I needed to hear today 🙏
"Abandonment"- is the same as "Trust in Jesus!" That is how the Great Saints got Great! Joyfully going 2 their death...
They wer consumed in Love 4 Christ, & confident in His Love 4 them!❤
Well... my slant anyway.
