While visiting a friend in Florida (also on a personal mini retreat for Monicas HOPE Ministry), I broke my wrist. When the doctor began the process of setting the break, I broke into tears, but not because of the pain. All I could think of was how much our Lord's suffered for us. This little bit of pain that I was going through was nothing compared to what He CHOSE to suffer for EACH and EVERY broken, sinful, fallen creatures that He created and loves💗

Imagine putting your faith in the demonic-erotica-writer Cardinal Fernandez...instead putting your Faith in over 2,000 years of Catholic Tradition, Scripture & a good Holy Pope John Paul 2. Pope John Paul 2 made it very clear that you can't call ss couples "couples", because there is no future in those relationships due to lack of procreation since it's unnatural and disordered. Read Genesis 19 for what God does to ss couples. The FS ss couple doc has a Marxist dialectic, the traditional thesis in the beginning & the antithesis in the end (FS paragraph 31). This is the Marxist deceptive tactic of a dialectic w ambiguity.

I went to the church near me on Candlemas Day and although there was a mass, the priest did not bless any beeswax candles. There were some church provided candles placed at the back of the church, which the priest blessed, but that was it. And when I asked about seeing a priest to bless the beeswax candles that I had brought, as well as matches, etc., I was told to come back another time. I was given some times that were available, but I couldn’t make.

@@jd3jefferson556 I looked up what your concern was as I had never come across mention of that prophecy and I found the detail below. What will happen at end times is beyond my humble self. However I do know we should be asking like King David to be searched and tried and to have the Holy Spirit reveal our faults on a daily basis. This is what I was thinking with this prayer.. There is an alleged apparition of Our Lady at Garabandal that talks about The Great Warning and Illumination of Conscience at the end of time. According to the Marian apparition, the Great Warning is the illumination of conscience that comes shortly before the end times and everyone will personally experience an awareness of their own sinfulness. The person will be alone before God and that will be a kind of “wake-up call” to each human being. While this may sound intimidating, we should all be living our lives with a knowledge of our sinfulness and a constant effort to remedy our faults.

I made 2 large beeswax candles and took them to be blessed along with a long-necked lighter.

Never did I consider being prepper but look at the trajectory we are on. Things are so off the rails that it can only take Divine intervention for the course correction. Yeah I've got the blessed candles from Fr. Chris Alar. I've got back power, well stocked food supply, etc. We have car and house insurance just in case but once you pay those premiums you never get it back unless your house burns down but if food stores are not needed you can use them. Most Catholics I know are completely ignoring the dangers brewing and bless their hearts if the crap hits the fan I'll be able to help them with my food stores. The more the Catholic community prepares, the more we'll be able to help our brothers and sisters who didn't. Charity

✝️❤ Ok folks, I don't ever request anything from this channel, but I'm going to tonight, and this request goes out to you too Father Mark. I was flipping through KZbin today and for some reason this kid (anyone under 40 is a kid to me), anyway, this kid with a KZbin channel just pops up for no reason. He has advanced stage 4 bowel cancer, and is dying. He was in tears as he admitted this to his channel, and that he has only a couple of months to live. It has spread to his liver and is inoperable. However, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH OUR GREAT GOD, so I'm going to ask you all, each and every one of you to pray hard for this kid and let's see if we can start his new year off with a genuine charismatic miracle healing. His name is Ollie, and I believe that with enough fervent and focused prayer, the Lord might heal the kid, and if not, at least save his soul. I myself have no interest in airsoft, and don't know why I was shown this kid, except the Holy Spirit works that way with me sometimes. That little voice says "pay attention, you have to help this one," and maybe He is going to put the channel to a big test. The question here is: Do we have enough faith between us to heal him, and How many of us will follow through like Jesus asks us to and pray for one another and Ollie? I truly believe it is possible, and I know that God put this kid in front of me for a reason and will be watching what each of us does. ⭐️Thank you for reading this. ❤ God bless you all, and God bless Ollie. ✝️

As someone who has worked with beeswax before and made candles for a short time, it’s not that easy and affordable. Candle making is work. Buying the wax is expensive and if one is rendering their own wax from bee hives, it’s a lot of work! Cleaning wax is a tedious task. That said there are some religious orders that make candles for a living and sell them in bulk for a lesser price. That’s where I get my candles now that I don’t make them anymore.

[@a.t.c.3862]

​@matthewjoseph9897 Nonsense. It needs to be pure unadulterated wax made only by bees, and the scapular needs to be the exact shade of purple - otherwise, nothing can save us.

[@DogtownTradingCo]

​@@marytierney794 approved or not, is ok to own beeswax candles and even get them blessed. Worst case you can use them when China hacks our antique power grid

@@AA-gu4mw understood. My concern is that a lot of the items that we have been told that we will need for the Three Days from a practical standpoint are only accessible to the more privileged. I have found that some local candle merchants are perpetually out of stock of their Three Days candles. Lest we forget the food and toilet paper shortages during the pandemic lockdown thanks to panic buying.

As ambassadors for Christ we would like to share with all of you the gospel of our salvation in the dispensation of God's grace. “Grace can be defined as the undeserved favor of God for people who deserve His condemnation.” Salvation is NOT giving the Lord anything, it's not giving but it's receiving. There's only one way to be saved, not two or three but one! Salvation is a gift and you're saved by receiving that gift by faith and not giving him anything. Not giving him your heart, many people also think that you can say the sinner's prayer to be saved but that's also wrong.Many people are disagreed with God's Word which clearly says - Ephesians 1:13 - King James Version - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Trust God's Word and don't rely on giving the Lord your heart or praying the sinner's prayer! You hear the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation and you place your trust in Jesus Christ and his finished crosswork by believing it. Any other way, any so-called way of salvation is counterfeit.So you don't ask Jesus into your heart to be saved, you don't give him your heart to be saved, you don't confess your sins to be saved, you don't ask for forgiveness to be saved, you don't turn from your sins to be saved, you don't recite a prayer, say a few our Fathers and some Hail Marys. You can find the gospel of your salvation in the dispensation of God's grace in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1-4, by trusting and believing the gospel of salvation you are saved, baptized in the Body of Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise till the day of redemption and nothing can pluck you out of the Father his hand - (In whom we have redemption through his blood , even the forgiveness of sins: (Colossians 1:14 - King James Version). 2 Corinthians 5:19 - King James Version - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Have a blessed day with insight, wisdom and discernment! And as ambassadors for Christ, we would like to refer you to Truth Time Radio, also on youtube and facebook, they are very pleased to help you better understand your bible and better articulate your faith to others.

Father, The Lord has given me illumination of conscience about 6 years ago. It is bittersweet because although it is good to see things and ourselves how they are, it is a lot to take in - in our state of mere humanity. It’s also a lonely state because you see things completely different from others around you. But, in this suffering of knowing, we can share in the sufferings of Christ.

[@katperson7332]

I’ve had in the last year or so many small illuminations of conscience but not the real Warning that everyone in the world will experience at the same time. It nevertheless prepares me for the real one, at least a good bit. I find myself remembering many sins, even in my very distant past, many of which I had forgotten about, even some as a tiny child, losing my temper with my siblings etc. Obviously my sins once I grew up became more serious but at least I can show repentance to God before it’s too late. I consider these “tasters” of the Real Warning to be a gift from God, with Him softening the blow so to speak, when it comes the time for the real one.

[@katperson7332]

Regarding the ‘suffering of knowing’ that you mentioned, I feel the same. I do see things differently from most people but though it can be lonely and sometimes feels like a curse/burden to bear, I try to look on it as a blessing instead, and think of it as my particular Cross to bear, which is a privilege, considering that God told us we must take up our own Cross just as Jesus did. 🙏🏻

While I really like your sermons I do not believe in the three days of darkness I’ve been hearing about this since 1980s These are private revelations And as you know, they do not need to be accepted They could be true, or they may not be true I stand by the word of God and the words of Christ This revelation, borders on superstition This is one and things that Luther rebel against in the medieval church Faith, in Jesus obedience to God‘s laws and acceptance of his unconditional love and mercy is what we need and believe Well, I use beeswax candles at my parish, because only the best should be used for our liturgical functions Keep up the great work, Mark God is giving you a great gift I will continue to pray for your words and your ministry

[@jzlotopolski]

I believe the candle needs to be blessed

[@mtcarmel123]

And 100% beeswax. .

[@ol_gunner13b40]

Remember, 100% beeswax candles and they MUST be BLESSED! I have made a number of these candles, myself, getting the beeswax and wicks from Hobby Lobby. Each was blessed by my pastor who I also gave a few to. Yes, they can be a conversation piece, but they will protect your household in the days ahead.

Disconnecting from tech for lent 💜

[@emilys5024]

I can maybe do the 3 days that he suggested…I would love to be able to do it for entire Lent. I realize there is so much poison and fear on the internet (both truth and false info), but stress is the poison that hurts the mind and body, because why have knowledge of things we have no control over? I would miss my “holy” podcasts such as this too. Maybe I could limit myself to holy videos and chants.

[@SandraVonRR]

I did take up Fr Mark’s Three-Day original freedom from technology, and all I can say, is, wow! Easiest way to start- because it won’t be easy-is to start at the Holy Hour of 3:00 on a Sunday afternoon. And to go on into the evening of Sunday-it’s getting easier-Monday comes, and pretty soon you really don’t miss it all. Do give any family members a heads-up who might call not to become alarmed if you don’t answer their calls, texts, etc. May the Holy Spirit be with you.

[@christiandpaul2022]

I would have to cut out all the religious stuff on you tube, some news and taking phone calls. Why would anyone want to give it up? They would just go to TV to make up the time.

[@kathydoe9287]

@christiandpaul2022 I may just stick to holy content and shut out everything else. Not checking phone so much etc

[@SandraVonRR]

@@christiandpaul2022 Yes, that includes TV! Let it all go, open your grip on your addiction. “Religious stuff”, and news will all still be there, none of it is worth anything anyway in the scheme of things . Fr Mark will forgive you, and probably would encourage and bless you!

[@kenpernak9944]

Fr. Mark Our Lords blessings and protection. Thank you..

[@juneclairepavese7537]

Viva Cristo Rey 🕊🔥.

[@rutheiermann3476]

Grew up in fear of the three days of darkness. To the point of making sure to have curtains that cover the window. (If you've heard the story you will understand) My grandma handed this down to us. Now have some windows that don't have curtains. Still have my beeswax candles though, haha, just in case. Saint Padre pio said, "it is easier to live without the Sun than the Holy Eucharist." Learned how true that was during covid lockdowns. That is something to really fear.

[@jazzmandolin5004]

Father Chris Alar in one of his lectures mentioned that there is precedent for the 3 days of darkness, it happened in Egypt some time in the past.

[@patriciagriffin2216]

Thank you, Fr. Mark! My Church offers a blessing of candles on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, Feb 2nd. I am going to get a beeswax candle 🕯 and bring it Church to be blessed at the Mass. 🕊❤️‍🔥Viva Cristo Rey!

AKA Candlemas

[@antel704]

AMEN Yes ! In Croatia we call that day "Svijećnica" word -svijeća- mean candle and -svijećnica- mean Blessing of candle light and only that candle we using in familly prayers at home. We have rulle that candle allways must be Blessed by our priest before using.

[@patriciagriffin2216]

[@Eyes3rd]

Two years ago I ordered a case of 6 blessed beeswax candles. I kept one for us and passed them out to others. I await the Illumination of Conscience with no fear. I await the Miracle that comes within a year after with a happy heart. ❤ Ave Father Thy will be done. 🌈🌈

I await it too. God bless!

Such an adorable spirit. What a sweet heart of a being.

[@dianelink-urtz4698]

Thank you so much Father Mark! Your homilies are so full of truth and bring such joy! ❤

[@cathyblahnik203]

I read about the three days of darkness in the 70’s. I try to save all the beeswax candles for when this time will come, I keep Holy Water and crucifix and rosaries and other holy things along with the candles in a safe place for when or if I ever need them. It is my security blanket. Thank you Father Mark, and God Bless you ❤️🙏🏼

[@deboragarzione1545]

I pray more priests will be sharing similar homilies with their followers...GOD bless you abundantly, Fr. Mark! 🙏 Be brave & lead your people, as the apostles did!!

[@beckyholbrook7253]

We are saving our blessed candles we receive on the blessing of the throats

[@richardziegler1628]

It’s a BLESSED beeswax candle, kind of an important point

[@arthurrod7638]

This is the comment I was looking for. To me, the candle being blessed is everything, and the beeswax thing seems almost like something frivolous or superstitious.

[@mattchard3592]

I believe blessed anna maria taigi said only Blessed candles will give light. But beeswax candles are wonderful! I have many Blessed beeswax candles and highly recommend them. Just remember to get your candles BLESSED!

[@timbetty6201]

Fr. Mark, please read up on the prophecies on the 3 Days of Darkness & help us prepare, especially on being in a state of grace & the needed blessed candle. Thank you for caring for your flock so well.

[@reliablethreat23]

God bless you Father Goring! You are awesome!

Everything you said makes perfect sense. I gave a blessed beeswax candle to all my siblings, Why Not!

[@watermain48]

We have old altar candles at home for this reason. They have been blessed as well.

[@mdeible9426]

It has to be blessed I believe and candlemas is coming up Feb 2nd!

It is not a coincidence, nothing is. 🙏❤️

[@terihepburn7233]

Yes Lord please let me see clearly!!! Confession helps. God shows me the way!

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

Yes i have a lot of beeswax. Candles!!Jesus has ALWAYS been in my heart, and HIS words reign in my life, ESPECIALLY these three years!! they have saved me. When I faced adversity at a job, I said...Jesus says Forgive Those that Trespass on you.. Say that at a secular work environment NO ONE has the answer!! I have three blessed candles so looking forward to these day's of darkness... Come Holy Spirit!!

[@judykelly5477]

When I go to Confession after I make my Examination of Conscience, I ask the Holy Spirit to let me know any other sins I should be confessing and He usually gives me one more that I forgot or didn’t quite realize that it was sinful.

[@juliebittinger46]

You're the FIRST priest I've ever heard speak of this! I grew up with this belief and read about the prophecy in an old book years ago. Most people say I'm crazy for having the candles, etc

[@deborahrohl7690]

Same but they might get a rude awakening when it happens God bless you

[@kategoddard5076]

Thank you Fr. Mark. I love the colour of unbleached, beeswax candles best, the gold colour reminds me of the Lord’s grace at work in our hearts and souls. It’s hard to imagine how much worse things can get in our bonkers world, before the illumination of conscience/ three days of darkness happens! God bless.🕊🙏🏻

[@ccl201]

You can also obtain blessed candles during the Easter vigil. According to Fr. Chad Ripperger, it helps to practise self-denial everyday and also pray to Our Lady of Sorrows who would reveal the sins that have not been confessed properly. It worked for me and I went to confession soon after that (I realized I failed to observe the Holy days of obligations in weekdays and follow the fasting guideline during Lent). If we are in the state of grace, we shall feel less pain from the sins that we committed. So we should follow Our Lady's advice to go to confession at least once a month. God bless 🙏

"You see what you are of yourself, but do not be frightened at this. If I were to reveal to you the whole misery that you are, you would die of terror. However, be aware of what you are. Because you are such great misery, I have revealed to you the whole ocean of My mercy." (St. Faustina, Diary, 718)

[@cherylciampa1070]

It is blessed beeswax candles are the only thing that will give illumination.

[@mtcarmel123]

And they need to be 100% Beeswax

[@normac9531]

I had 3 large beeswax candles from when the prophecy came out & I still had them years after. They were all ruined & had to be chucked out!! They cost me a lot of money that I couldn't spare at the time & sceptical about getting them now.

[@carollyon4755]

Yes! Thanks, Father, for making us aware that we all should have a beeswax candle. But it must be BLESSED to be of use during the three days of darkness. Preferably, this would be done on Candlemas Day, but any time is acceptable. Love and prayers, Father. 💜🙏🏻

[@zeinai9117]

Isn’t it amazing that 3 days of water fast reset and cleans your body! God is good!

[@JanePurcell-v5d]

Both my grandmothers believed in the three days of darkness. My parents also me and my siblings believe strongly in the three days of darkness whether that be all electricity and forms of communication is knocked out or whatever believe me, I have my beeswax candles.

Great homily Father thank-you. The 3 days of darkness the conversion of St Paul never thought of that. 3 days of darkness as St Joseph and the Virgin Mary were looking for Jesus meaning we can lose Jesus because of our sins.

[@berenicesenra4988]

Of course I have my candles! Will have them all blessed again tomorrow! 💙🌹

This Friday is the day to Bless the Beeswax Candles, it’s CandlesMass Day…

fr. Mark, l appreciate your candor. It's refreshing and oddly comforting to hear a priest say " I don't have a clue ". I am Orthodox Christian and I love the Way of Orthodoxy, having said that, again I appreciate your candor, rather than using "filler" ....it helps to know that even our clergy sometimes wonder rather than putting off with words leaving an even bigger emptiness and more questions than answers... hope the way this is worded makes sense 🙏🏽☦️🌹🕊️

[@shirleymitchell8398]

Thank You Fr Mark and GOD Bless You. I'm sure Saint Padre Pio also mentioned 3 Days of Darkness. It makes sense, especially as something similar happened with Moses, where People had to follow message that GOD gave to Moses, and had to put the blood of a lamb in shape of Cross on their doorposts. It is important to be discerning, and also very important to be as prepared as one can be, both Spiritually and Practically. 🕊️🙏❤️🙏🎶🕯️🕯️🕯️✨✨✨⭐

[@carolwilliams7680]

Fr. Padre pio spoke about the 3 days of darkness, it's also in the book of revelations. It states that you have to be in the state of grace or the candle won't burn, and you have to have blessed matches to light the candle. If you read about the 3 days of darkness in revelations, it is going to be a very frightening time. You are to cover all window's and don't look outside or you'll die. There's more, read it.
