It was such a joy and honour to teach Ksenia (Choly) Gainey when I was a faculty member at Tyndale University. Her brilliant articulation of Thomistic thought was a wonder to behold. She is a true beacon.

Congratulations to Ksenia for her accomplishments! And may the Holy Family bless and protect her family. 🙏

Thank-you for being a beacon of light for so many young people. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College.

"For it is in giving that we receive." St. Francis of Assisi May God continue to bless OLSWC

Wow! I jut had the best two hours in a long time! Thank you!

Very sound conclusion: Academy without reconfesionalizing should desecularize itself. Thanks for this talk.

Thanks for sharing! God bless from North Dakota! Your school is a great witness to our Catholic faith!

Am very interested in hearing Fr Goring's thought's on this topic, but the audio is low and unclear. Are there any other alternate versions of this talk?

I wish my kids had gone to this university. Maybe they wouldn't have come out brain-washed!

Wow, so glad I discovered this talk. It’s so beautiful. Thank you so much for providing us with such a gift. I love St. Joseph, pray for me, my family and mostly for those who have lost their faith.

Why do many of these religious videos have to have the annoying muzak playing while a person is talking? I just can’t listen to it for 50 minutes. I’d like to hear what Michael has to say because I consider him a wise and holy person, but sorry, I just can’t listen with any concentration so I won’t bother.

Thank you!

Watching here in Ireland 🇮🇪. I've just ordered your book Fr. Isaac. God bless you and thank you.

Saint Joseph's Typology, not only with Joseph Son of Israel, but also with Joseph of Arimithea.

A. A more Orthodox Saint Joseph is an Older Widower with his own children; around 45-60yrs. of age. B. Better for Protestants would be a Saint Joseph who is a young adolescent male, 15-20, contemporary to Mary, with whom he later has other children. C. The Catholic View made more realistic with a 30yr. old well established small businessman in the construction trades, dying at 60, after which Jesus leaves and Mary sells the shop.

@Olivia Rosebrough Read Jer 1:3. Then read Jer 58:3. There is a very very very very very very Vast difference between children, in the womb, who God knew before they were born, who were not liars, predestined for salvation; and children, who were liars while still in their mothers rooms, before they were concieved into their mothers wombs, that God knew them as liars, before then; and they were liars then, predestined to Damnation. (Proverbs) Here is what the Jewish teaching about, when writing about those who are born with the light of Israel, in them and those who were born as the Sons of Darkness. This is where the teaching about the wheat sowed into the same field with the tares (weeds) comes from in the Bible. Shall you teach that which God, has not given you to teach? Are all men born equal? Are all men born predestined to salvation? Did Mary tell you that God wants those babies born who are born as the weeds amount the wheat, and to be adopted, by the wheat. Will the tares not, come and kill the wheat the grows beside it in the same field? You're telling me that Mary doesn't care if I adopt a baby destined to Damnation, that could destroy our families souls when bright home and it's unbaptized? HARKEN INTO MY WORDS AND MY VOICE. Jesus said, in his Last Prayers to God in Heaven, "I Pray Not, for the world and everyone in the world Father, but rather FOR THOSE THAT ARE THINE, IN THE WORLD!!!!!!" hey that through your head!!!!! God, who made Jesus pay him tribute, for getting men's sins forgiven by Him, doesn't want to give all babies Carte Blanche Forgiveness because they're unborn babies. LISTEN UP!!!! I'M THEOLOGICAL CORRECT HERE!!! "JESUS WOULDN'T AND WON'T LISTEN TO MOTHER MARY'S PLEAS, BECAUSE HE CAN'T BE ON EVERYONE'S SIDE THAT IS AN UNBORN AND UNBAPTIZED AND UNBORN AGAIN soul coming into the world through a mother's womb!!!!!!! Unless you are born again, you cannot come into the presence of Almighty God. Will Mary do that which Jesus, could not do? Can Mary un- Predestine those whom the Lord God, the Almighty in Heaven, would not do without baptism. Can Mary put the Light of Israel into new Babies who were never intended to receive it, from a time before they were placed into their mothers womb? Mary would have to be God. Jesus can't do that feat either. This establishes an authority hierarchy that comes from the Creator, to his Son. I never read anywhere in the Bible, that Mother Mary can defy God's plans for salvation.

Truly I say into you, do Not rejoice, when a soul enters into the world but rather mourn (be unhappy-cry a lot rather than get sweet and laugh), for it's time of test, is at hand; and if it fails it will burn in hell forever.

At 15:00 I quit. At 11:30 on Laudato Si,both the scientific and theological BS(in logic: from a false assumption/sentence it cannot follow the true conclussion-the Gallielo's case from 17th century has taught nothing the red heads at VAtican(here, a BS science of PhD's Moron, Al_gore and UN IPCC gang of morons (in math's, modelling and ...logical inference). J.M.Bochenski OP,Logic of Religion,1965 (already in 1938 his article in Theol.Varsoviensa on Modern Logic and Dogmas-not yet perefct but on only 70 pages he perfectly explains the "mysterious"problem not known to this lecture Expert for sure; J.M.B rightly switches the old outdated methodology of theology in the light of the logic after Frege as not the deductive "science"(like mathematics) but as a reductive science like natural sciences.(in theology,the data are: original sentences in Scripture, archeological and artifacs evidences). Well, in AD 2021...it is still a ..mystery! What Hell is going on!

That's so good! Thanks! I'm preparing for M.A. English and this play is in my curriculum. I thoroughly enjoyed your take on it. 🤗

Looking and sounding good Fr Blair. Blessing and best wishes from PEI.

My mom made me watch this for homeschool; I am Impressed if not entertained.

Quality work this

WOW! That was terrific! Tonight I listened to this, along with my son and husband. Super impressed with the chorus!

Awesome work guys! I gotta say, the Chorus is my personal favourite, but the Temptations spittin' bars and my guy rolling his R's like a champ also had a special place in my heart. Bravo!

God bless you Michael, your friend who sends you emails occasionally with his dreams. I will pray for you.

I enjoyed this hour with you.

Thank-you for your comments and questions. We regret that we weren't able to have a longer chat session but KZbin cut us off soon after the end of the video. In our panel discussion I will be taking questions again, with the other speakers. The panel discussion is on Saturday at 2:30 PM for those who wish to register for the conference. God bless you all. -- Michael O'Brien

To answer: "Question, how heavily do you think the Greco-Roman idea of tartarus/Elysium have influenced Christian views on the ideas of Heaven and Hell?" To some degree, many of the Church Fathers were aware of the mythology of the classical age. It is my belief that these intimations of ultimate realities arose from Natural Law in human nature--the imago Dei--they were prefigurements in human consciousness. Chesterton once wrote that the modern mythologists position is this; since there was a dying God who returns to life in some ancient mythologies, therefore the resurrection of Christ can not be true, only symbolic. The modern mythologists--or de-mythologists--fail to comprehend that God was preparing, at an intuitive level, people of all times and places for the Incarnation.

To answer: "Do you have any suggestions for perseverance? While some of us may have singular moments of choice in which we can choose the good (e.g. Paval saving Fr Elijah as a child), how do we who live the long slow life stay strong?" Living the life of the Church completely; prayer, sacraments, developing the constant habit of turning our thoughts to God, and invoking the Holy name of Jesus over our innermost negative habits and impulses to sin. Athletes train their bodies, and so too we must train our habits of behaviour and thoughts by commitment to self-discipline daily. Ask for the grace for this.

To answer: "You shut down your website in order to focus on projects as you are now an older man. Can you share whether these projects are literary, paint, or something else entirely?" Primarily novel writing. My novel "The Lighthouse" will be published two weeks from now. I also have two additional novels that I am working on, one in the final stages of editing. With declining time and energy I try to focus on my creative work and this means almost no involvement in internet culture.

Thank you :) Question, how heavily do you think the Greco-Roman idea of tartarus/Elysium have influenced Christian views on the ideas of Heaven and Hell?

To the question about a movie being produced about my novel "Father Elijah", currently there is nothing in the works. Several production companies have been interested over the last 20 years, but the orthodox Catholicism seemed to have frightened away potential funders.

His conversion was a great gift to the Church and to Catholic literature.

To answer the question about Joseph Pearce, yes I did meet him once a few years ago.

Mr. O'Brien: 1. You shut down your website in order to focus on projects as you are now an older man. Can you share whether these projects are literary, paint, or something else entirely? 2. In this age of absconding fathers (biological, priests, etc) how do we come to know the Father in a way that we can trust? How to we confidently approach the father when so many today have father wounds? 3. Do you have any suggestions for perseverance? While some of us may have singular moments of choice in which we can choose the good (e.g. Paval saving Fr Elijah as a child), how do we who live the long slow life stay strong?

For those who were not able to get their questions answered in time in the chat, I will continue to answer them here in the comments.
