Confession! Go and be frank; don't let shame and pride limit what you need to say to get off your chest. Reconcile with our Lord.

Amen ❤

Steve from Lancaster Pennsylvania. Thanks for all you do Father. Your videos mean a lot and are so very helpful. Thank you for making them.

That’s exactly what I needed to hear tonight. Thank you, father for sharing the blessings of the Lord.

Very helpful! God bless you ❤

I hope you are remembering to offer that darkness up and uniting it to our Lord's sufferings for the graces through our Lady's Immaculate Heart that you or others may need

Glory!!! After so much struggles I now own a new house with an influx of $155,000.00 every month God has kept to his words,my family is happy again everything is finally falling into place. God bless America.

THANK YOU

Love your work Fr, keep fighting the good fight. God bless 🙏🏻

Thank you, Father. Much love and respect .

Amen, thank you father.

Thank you Father for discussing this issue. Shame isn't remorse born from empathy, it's the self centered feeling that there is something inherently wrong with who you are. Shame, especially childhood shame leads to a lot of mental health issues and social problems later on. One psychotherapist stated that many people she's met didn't have lifestyles, they had deathstyles, which were in fact a form of slow suicide. If you're dealing with shame it's important to get therapy and counselling, it will otherwise take over your life.

THANKYOU AND GOD BLESS YOU FR COLUMBA, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED.,

❤❤❤

you are speaking, i’m the mess, i feel like i’m playing God with this constant doubts- relapses - confessions… i’m afraid, i know i’m not in His grace anymore and it’s not the first time I promise not to sin anymore

You're cute. ☺️ - Thank you for the advice.

Pray that I have the courage to send this video to my unbeleiving son, who struggles with alcoholism. Recently the Holy Spirit gave me this prayer. Mother Mary, Mediatrix of grace...help me to trust in God's love for me." I feel she has heard my prayer.

Thanks be to our God Lord Jesus Christ

Thank you so much for sharing how you talk to yourself. I can emotionally spiral so quickly. I know the devil loves it when I feel unworthy of love.

Gives whole new meaning to the view that Hell is eternal shame and guilt....

This is a life-changing message. Thank you, thank you.

Praise be to God forever

This is a very important video. Anxiety is very similar to irritability and both are exacerbated exactly as you say father via shame.

Thank you Father for this message💕 I suffer from crippling scrupulosity and I always wrestled with this topic in my heart. Thank you❤️

Thank you. I love your channel. Thank you so much.

I can’t tell you how much I needed this. Thank you!!

God bless and thank you Fr Columba😮

No greater, unconditional love. We have to be mindful of this great and loving mercy.

Oh Father, you literally brought me to tears, to my knees. You spoke my truth. Not only how incredibly painful shame feels, but that I would do anything to escape it…alcohol for one. 25 years of trying to kill the shame but only feeding it. I thank God for you and your message of hope today. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Thank you, father, God bless you! 🕊

God bless and thank you Father Columba

Thank you SO much!!!!!

❤❤❤

Hi Father Columba!❤

PATRONESS OF ALL THE MISSIONS: for such the title the Church gave to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus. In fact, it is not just a title. Journeying from Japan to India and in return, one has occasion to be convinced as an eyewitness that there is not a place where she is not particularly honored; there is not a church where you might not find her, or have her come immediately before your eyes as you enter. WHENCE, THEN, HER "COMPETENCE" IN MATTERS AFFECTING THE MISSIONS? Did she do missionary work in many pagan lands in the course of her life? Did she outpour her blood as a martyr? Not at all. None of these things. She never even crossed the threshold of her Carmel in Lisieux. Nor in her lifetime did she work any miracles, but in ordinary, everyday, grim life she sanctified herself. Hence, it is not a matter of what we do, but how we do it, with what sort of an intention and love. AND WHAT WAS HER INTENTION? To bring pleasure to the LORD JESUS, the INFANT JESUS. Everyday crosses she carried with love; she worked, lived and acted in this love, so as to be a little child who with little acts of love wins the hearts of its father and mother. This is the kind of missionary everyone can become. BUT HOW TO ACHIEVE IT? St. Thérèse called herself the “Little Flower of the IMMACULATA” and said that the Immaculate Virgin brought her up. Let us be submissive to the IMMACULATA and she will teach us the limitless confidence in the love of the merciful God, of which she is the personification. +SMMK•HLK, o.p.n.

John 3:16 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. Just close your eyes and say “Jesus, I don’t have faith in you, please help me believe” Jesus loves you, turn to Him. He loves you so much that He died for you. ❤️🙏

Thank you Father. I had a rough day today and you being your goofy self made my day! I am a big fan of your sense of humor XD <3

I'm not proud to say this, because It hurts my Savior when I do this, but I have a problem with cursing, and taking his name in Vain. rWhen I get upset, I do this a lot, and I've tried to stop so many times, because IT IS A SIN! I have had so much trouble throughout the years. I'm profoundly disabled, legally blind, on a ventilator, tube fed, and my assistant who's name is Joshua who's suppose to help me takes advantage of my handicaps and takes advantage of me. So I've had a hard life, and unfortunately I've developed a BAD habit of cursing. I gave my heart to God, and I try to follow him, but this habit of using God's name in Vain and cursing has stuck with me, and I HATE it!

Your dancing analogy is SO perfect and really resonated with me as someone who is a very poor 'follower' on the dance floor. It really hit me how much I try, on my own merits, to do what I think God wants so He will love me, instead of trusting, following His lead, and understanding that I am already loved by God. Thank you, Fr. Columba! I am keeping this image in my mind and heart today.

Amen

Amen every day ❤ Amen
