[@sheilaconnolly344]

Father Warner I love listening to you I have learnt a lot about my faith from you because of you I have started reading my bible again I an 82 years of age and live in Glasgow Scotland god bless you Father 🙏🙏🙏

[@sheelashankar5748]

Thank you Father Warner for taking the time to teach us and explain to us, the word of our God. So that we may not misinterpret the meaning. God bless you always 🙏 ❤

[@shailacarvalho9537]

Praise God for giving your straight forward view in your program standing very firm on the Word of God which is very much required for this present corrupted age where there is no clear teaching on the Word of God and faith.

[@opheliamascarenhas3366]

Thank you Fr. Warner for taking your precious time to teach us the right path to Jesus Christ. May Our Holy Trinity Bless you all through your life.

[@saviocd]

Thank you, Fr. Warner for the crisp intro to the Book of Wisdom.

[@joycerodrigues6760]

Father, I have been on a journey of reading the entire bible and was stuck at wisdom books. Incomprehensible … 😢 So glad to find your old videos. 👏🏻👏🏻 Now I’m rest assured that I will gain good knowledge on Wisdom books Thank you for sharing God’s wisdom to us all

[@jf_d]

The 7 bks are an important aspect to enlighten us...thank you for the history and geography wrt Alexandria ,the Greek society, and the background to this teaching Fr. The books of wisdom ,Judith,Tobit etc 😍 That you come across strongly on this aspect of Catholics who like to believe in many God's for many reasons will definitely ruffle many feathers but speak v all must . Is it FOMO(fear of missing out ) that if they pray to all the idols to get the claim of blessings from all 'God's' and hence garner the best of all the heaven's ?????🙄 Yes such terms like Secular ,Liberal, Inclusive ,democracy are excuses to enjoy maybe festivities of other faiths,make friends happy and display this superficial affection for all faiths while it's all for vested interests and yes history has shown time and again they have paid that price! If we raise our kids to understand and take a stand from the very beginning we will raise the standard and stop the possibility of our community straying outside the community lines even in matters of marriage and relationships . If only we understand the joy of our faith and that all blessings and rewards are found generously in THE exercising of our faith ALONE !!!! Someone has to make that awareness and MAINTAIN THAT STAND AND YOU ARE DOING IT SO THANK YOU!!!!

[@kennethlobo4420]

Thank U Rev Fr for the teaching.

[@jenm1575]

Thank you Fr Warner for your boldness in proclaiming God's word. Not many will come out and speak the same way as you did. It is the truth. May the Holy Spirit guide you and pour over the gifts to nourish our souls. Watching you from 🇨🇦.

[@irisl8013]

Beautiful history of the Book if Wisdom. A real eye opener. Thank you Fr Warner and God Bless

[@delysedmello3660]

Thank you Fr. Warner for that Introduction, very enlightening. And as I've said before, more priests should be as blunt as you are esp. with the bombardment we're exposed to from so-called secularism and from social media. God bless you!

[@judysabharwal4749]

Indeed! Lord where can we go. ? U have the message of eternity.

[@mariadmello1638]

Thank you Fr.Warner for standing up for the truth. Yes there's only one God n His name is Jesus Christ. However one thing that is confusing are the interfaith meetings held in some of our churches where people of all faiths meet n pray to their own God. We are either for Christ or not. This is one of the reasons some Catholics are leaving our church. We must not compromise in our faith.

[@patriciacardoz1891]

Thank you Fr. Warner for introducing us into the Book of Wisdom and explaining the Book of Wisdom so clearly. God Bless you for taking so much trouble and teaching us the word of God. 🙏🙏🙏

[@charlotteemathias5401]

Thank you Fr Warner for these wonderful insights into the origins of the Book of Wisdom, and the period when it was written. There is so much we do not know , and the immense trouble you take to delve into the details is much appreciated. God bless you for your scholarship, and we look forward to the unravelling of this book through your inspired talk. Thank you dear Fr Warner, and may the Holy Spirit continue to inspire and bless you with His words of Wisdom🙏

[@rosittalawrence8053]

Thank you very much Fr for the introduction to the Book of Wisdom. I just loved your sincere thoughts and thus guiding us to be mindful and aware not to drift away from our faith. Thank you Fr.

[@fostergracias4213]

Thank you Fr. for your blessings upon us God bless you for your good works, which is inspired by the wisdom of God and our Lord Jesus. May you continue to be inspired by the Holy Spirit that we too may be enlightened and have insights in the special liturgical teachings and Books in the Bible as explained n by you Alleluia Praise the Lord our God Amen 🙏

[@chezanand]

Thanks Fr. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@jeandsouza5521]

Thank you Father. Good to have this background knowledge. Very enlightening.

[@lgpdsa8696]

So true Fr. Warner, DIVINE WISDOM is Supreme and SCRUTINIZES all. IT WILL uplift the FALLEN upto the final moments of JUDGEMENT… And IT WILL protect the RIGHTEOUS from falling to damnation… I pray that all of us always humbly seek THIS DIVINE WISDOM for our enlightenment through Our loving God Almighty’s Grace. Thnkyou & God Bless You Fr. Warner 🙏

[@judysabharwal4749]

Praise Jesus the name above all names 🙏

[@soniarodrigues3337]

Agree Fr We need to stop being fence-sitters and attempting to dilute our faith in an attempt to fit in. It is the need of the hour to evangelise whenever we get an opportunity and thereby draw more souls to Christ God bless you!

[@jesussaviour6143]

Yes, Word of God not modernized. 100% agree with your thought, and this liberty generated and compromised from the top level under the pretext of "Inter-religious Dialogue and miss to draw a concrete safe line to safeguard our faith. Highly appreciate, your bold stand. Lose the whole world but not our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ. You are a faithful shepherd guiding His flock to Him. God bless you. It is very scary to obseve present times, true faith and Word of God compromised / degraded by trying to equalize Creator and creation (creature). Our God is a Living True God... very sad that greed of power, position, worldly desires and pleasures and self balancing for survival, placing two feet in two boats.... on Judgement Day, Lord will say "I do not know you".

[@terezafernandes7074]

Thank you very much Fr Warner, it was a wonderful explanation. The text or subject that is Wisdom was brought to light so beautifully. The Introduction made me all the more come closer to the book of wisdom. l liked your attitude of being so open to bring your views on Interreligious marriages. It is so true that in many Interreligious marriages the Catholics don't adhere to their faith and succumb to the other partners faith , they compromise and give in to them by keeping idols next to our Altar and thus desecrate our Altars. I have personally seen this happenening in some Catholics homes and tears of sorrow and anguish roll down my eyes. I keep them in my prayers that they come to the realization and practice their faith in truth and knowledge.

[@luizinhadias7351]

Thank you Father for your teaching which is hard but brings out the truth which is bitter.Appreciate your efforts and hard work. God bless you with good health.

[@mariashome6872]

Thank you Fr. Warner for enriching us with the word of God and also equipping us to answer anyone who come to change us.🙏🏻

[@mariadsouza8961]

Dear Fr Warner. Thank you very much for bringing out the richness of God's word right into our homes and our heart. You have created in me a great thirst for reading God's Word everyday ,listening to your teaching and posting it to my catholic friends groups. Most of all thank you for all the trouble you take to present it to us in a way we understand and admonishing us sometimes which we really need. God bless you Fr. Warner.

[@margaretfernandesjoseph6114]

Dense but very interesting and informative. Thanks for doing and sharing your research into the origin and essence of the Book of Wisdom. Does stimulate interest in exploring this Book.

[@jesus_saved_us_wtl]

Praise be to GOD our LORD Jesus Christ. Thank you Father warner for this teaching.. with regards to the reason why the protestant who don not use these books in the bible is due to a few verses from some books where it h as stories of praying for the ones dead for the sins they committed as they had some statue of another God while they went for battle. And they (protestant) don't believe that we can pray for the dead for thier sins. However,this clarifies that the Catholic Church truly follows Christ (except unless someone from the Catholic Church suddenly changes Jesus Christ teachings) but the Catholic Church is following the right thing that no one can take from the book or add any as mentioned in revelation..However, the protestant pastures as well a few that i have been listening to has the right Main message of our LORD the gospel. But these few things created by the evil satan and his angels us causing division similar and other relegions as well.. praise God. Father forgive them and us for we do not know what we are doing. May the Holy Spirit guide the hearts and minds of the faithful and help spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ so that none perisheth but all have everlasting life. Thank you JESUS Christ praise be to our ABBA Holy Spirit. Amen.

[@suzanfernandes2746]

Thank you Fr Warner for the wonderful explaining on Book of wisdom it's very true. God bless you abundantly with good health

[@fernsgilbert]

Thanks Fr. for the beautiful message. Especially about the 'belief modernisation' by the mix marriage couples. I too have seen some homes with such altars. Secondly, religious videos / messages are more viewed and followed by people who are already on the right track : ) while most of the messages are meant for the rest. Hence a humble request if you could make a small separate video on the same topic (in line with the 1st commandment, etc.) it may be more forwarded and viewed, thus may have a better impact on the minds. As you may know many of our people are too 'busy' for religious & lengthy messages/videos.

[@jenniferfernandes1031]

Thank you Father, for today's introduction to the the book of wisdom of how n why it ws written, to me it ws a first time, havent really read it as yet, now it will make better sense.

[@sajinisunil8495]

Dear Father Warner, Beautiful introduction. Father, if only you could give an exergeitic study on Wisdom 1 : 1 - 7. Thanks anyway..❤️ Your transparency and truthful teaching!

[@magdaleneambrose8420]

The Book 📖of Wisdom is one of my favorite in the Bible,to be honest I understand very little.Thank you very much for your elucidation. This will help us all to understand it better.What was written centuries ago is still relevant today's .Is it true that the reformist church ⛪does not include these chapters because they are not inspired by God n are just written by men.Thank you.

[@johnrodrigues1470]

Thanks for sharing the meaning of Deutrocanonical booksFr. I've got the good news Bible. In the contents under the title of The Deutrocanonical books/ Apocrypha there are few more books namely Letter of Jeremiah, Prayer of Azariah, etc. Can you please throw some light on these books which are not Deutrocanonical books.

[@marymargaretalmeida3889]

Fr. Warner, I forgot to add one sentence, that is, why do people say respect all religion?

[@christinafernandes8658]

I think it's a level of tolerance and regard to every religion, irrespective of the cast, creed or race, so that all live in peace and harmony.

[@The12thSeahorse]

New Age movements can be compared to the snake portrayed in the book of Genesis……it offers you new insights, secret knowledge and enclosed mysteries….only to find out in the end you have been misled, hoodwinked and left empty handed.

[@evannongrum3718]

I read somewhere about Jesus and the New Testament Writers quoting from the Deuterocanonical books. I would love to know who among the New Testament writers quoted from the Book of Wisdom, and please show chapter and verse. With regards..

[@edwardcordeiro5347]

Good morning Fr. Yesterday & last Sunday's homily was not on u tube.

[@ritalobo8511]

Father I was very happy to hear you explaining the Book of Wisdom so well. I have a comment to make and that is some years ago the great preacher Benny Hinn had come and the program was held at BKC grounds in Bandra. To my surprise I was told that many priests and religious attended the program. How scandalous it was for me. Why do our so called religious go for theses programs. Is their Faith so shallow. Do they realize that their being there plays a great role for the simple hearted people. Sorry to express these feelings as I myself gets disturbed with such a behavior.

[@YasNMesquita]

Thanks Fr. Very informative session. Enjoying your teachings
