Blessed Stanley Rother: An American Martyr Saint? | The Catholic Talk Show

[@bucklr11]

From the UK 🇬🇧…. This is amazing for the USA and just what America needs right now … a modern day Saint to pray for the USA and for the world 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Vivo Christo Rey ✝️✝️✝️

Ya know I am 41 years a priest and I can remember the date and time of my ordination. I can remember my first mass. :) There are numerous holy ones in our country who are blessed and canonized. His life is amazing but he is one of many. Fr Augustine Tolton is the first male native born saint in the US. He was born into slavery. With the help of religious he went from illiterate to top of his class in Rome. He established the first Black Catholic parish in the US.

[@erikriza7165]

Fr. Tolton is not canonized or beatified yet. He is Blessed.

[@donadieu83]

My mistake lol ! I am still waiting for mother Henriette desile to be declared blessed

[@Bina6019]

This video has brought me to tears. Blessing to all of you.

[@skindemus]

It is good to see Father Matt, miss him at Assumption. Are there any updates on Father Richard or his mom? Prayers are being said daily for them.

[@tysmarc]

I went to the Shrine outside Oklahoma City. It is a must visit. It was beautiful and his story let me in tears.

[@johannaraisch4051]

Blessed Stanley is a Cousin of my best friend. I have his shrine in my bucket list

[@CatholicTalkShow]

Wow!

[@kristinehenry6920]

I work at the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine with Miguel. It's a fantastic place!!!

[@CatholicTalkShow]

Miguel is great! We loved having him on the show!!!

[@kristinehenry6920]

​@@CatholicTalkShow he is.

[@dee3108]

What a great story! Thanks, I have never heard of Blessed Stanley 🙏

[@JanetRonck]

My family and I went to his shrine in Oklahoma, and we prayed for Jen DellaCrosse there!! :). Blessed Stanley Rother, pray for her, please, and all of us!

[@timc5843]

Thanks, guys, for the show. Read his book, The Shepard Who Did Not Run. Great book. God bless you all.

[@CarolynnMichel]

We visited last year - it’s amazing. I was in the process of converting to Catholicism and it helped me understand the true devotion to the faith. So inspirational!

[@dianaespinosa4061]

This is awesome!! We were there for the opening of the Shrine! My husband actually got a speedy ticket on our way to Oklahoma from Texas. Blessed Stanley Rother Pray for us.

[@Horse-Feathers]

I'll be moving to OK soon, and saw a relic of Bl Stanely in Tulsa. There doesn't appear to be a large catholic presence in the SE part of the state, where I'll be, but I'm so happy to know Bl. Stanley and have him in my saint squad now!

[@BravoTangoAviation]

There are a lot of Baptists in the SE part of the state. I moved from California to the SE part of OK in the Ouachita Mountains where I bought a ranch. It is beautiful there, absolutely beautiful. My land has mountains, pine trees, a large running creek with waterfalls, and more animals than I can count. I recently took a job flying in Australia so I had to make the move, the commute was killing me lol but I've still got my land. You'll love it in that area. It is truly God's country just like Blake Shelton says.

I’m so happy I came clicked on this video. I’ve been learning a new language and I need a bit of a push, also I’ve been thinking very hard about how to live a more free life as far as growing my own foods and this just gave me chills. Please blessed Stanley Roth, pray for us! 🙏🏼

[@timc5843]

It is easy to donate, the folks at the Shrine are great.

[@barbarasanta2454]

Unfortunately my comment has to do with a video episode from a year ago that I just watched today. Rich was describing a painting he gave away and wished he hadn’t. It depicted Mary Magdalene with John the Beloved who is guiding Mother Mary away from the Crucifixion. Fr Rich said he’s not been able to find it again. I googled my search solely based on his description. I can’t figure out how to add a pic so all I can do is tell you the two names of the artists that may have painted it. One is a Matthew Grunewald and the other is Rogier van der Wetden. I hope this helps. Perhaps you can find your beloved print/ image! Love and appreciate your show! Been listening for a year or more and trying to catch up on all the episodes from oldest to newest. Take care, Ryan, Ryan and Fr. God bless.

[@deeznats44]

We love Blessed Stanley Rother! 👏🏻

[@conniecline201]

It’s about 2 miles from my house I had my enunciation there. It’s so beautiful. We’re so proud it’s here

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

That's cool. I'm not from Oklahoma but my mother is from a small German Catholic farming community in North Idaho that sounds really similar to what they are describing. I feel like small town farm Catholics have a completely different faith experience than the more typical east coast Catholics.

[@ShirleyGreene-l5o]

I first heard of Blessed Stanley from our parish priest here in southern Kansas. I loved the details that you all provided.

[@ShirleyGreene-l5o]

Archbishop Coakley is a friend of my husband's.

[@DarkHairedCurlyOne]

I pray for his family and know God will welcome him with open arms

[@DianePaar]

Please do a show about Blessed Father Solanus Casey- also potentially the first American born male saint. I am certain that I was cured through his intercession, but don't have the medical documentation to present it. He has always been there for me!

[@toddzbojovsky6619]

as always excellent show thank you so much

[@donadieu83]

I have two churches. I have educated my people on the host of peoples who are servants of God, Venerable, Blessed, and Saints. I just come to know of Father and yes I was amazed. Btw. Fr Tolton is Servant of God. LOL

[@tmikahr7243]

Thank you for bringing good Catholic content on KZbin. It's insightful and at times entertaining. One question: why has this show totally ignored the lives, experiences, and contributions of African-American Catholics? The Catholic Talk Show has neglected the Black Catholic experience. It would be ideal if you can recognize the community and help to stop marginalizing who we are and what we have contributed to the U.S. Catholic history

[@anilujah7795]

If you guys show up at the shrine...let us know!

[@susiesmeal4466]

Okarche, Oklahoma

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

Never been but I can only imagine that is similar to Ferdinand Idaho the way they are describing it. Country Catholics.

[@cangellee7425]

He is the 1st American born marytr

[@TheresaKateri]

There’s many American saints though

[@erikriza7165]

If he is canonized, he would not be the first American.

[@cangellee7425]

He is the 1st American born martyr

[@adriennehadrianus1756]

He means 1st American martyr saint... not 1st American saint

[@erikriza7165]

@@adriennehadrianus1756 Thanks. I didn't know that.

[@lizkrenzer8592]

I have been to Shrine of Blessed Stanley Rother. If you’re in Oklahoma, this Shrine is a must stop. There is a well put together museum on Blesed Stanley Rother and make sure you have lots of time for this Beautiful Shrine.

[@cynthia57169]

And he definitely said “male” as a qualifier
