I love Fr. Meeks homilies. As I moved all over the northeast and southern US this past winter spring and summer his homilies brought me peace. I lost my nursing job because I refused the vaccine and felt displaced and even without home even when housed by certain members of my family. I’m so appreciative of his wisdom and share it often! God bless!

Thank you Fr. Meeks. My prayer is that everyone will listen, understand, and become closer to Jesus. One of the things I love about Covid (I know there is something to love about Covid?? - yes for me there were many things I learned a lot about myself) is that I discovered you Fr. Meeks. Thanks to you I am struggling to come closer to Jesus. Thanks to you the things I think are wrong in this society you point out are wrong. Thanks for leading me to Jesus and I hope some day heaven.

@@tony1685 Hi Tony. You keep on about the sabbath (not to work etc Exodus 20 8:11) Have you ever thought that sometimes people take actions with the ‘intent’ of their actions not to be ‘work’. I sometimes tidy my garden to offer my actions in glorifying ALL the beautiful flora and fauna God has created for us. I don’t see it as work. Maybe you could focus on love. Love of neighbour, self and most of all, the love of God and Jesus to us.

[@newindependent5544]

Thank you, I have lost faith in the church, but not in GOD or Jesus Christ my savior. The church needs more men like you.

[@sweetcaroline2060]

New Independent: You've been mislead by the human aspect of our Religion. Focus on the Divine.

[@jbloe555]

If the Apostles thought like that after Judas' betrayal, there would be no Church. Research all the heresies the Church fought against over the last 2000 years and you will realize this is nothing new. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail. Do not doubt it. The attacks on the Catholic Church reveal that it is the one, true, Church of Jesus Christ. I recently asked Jesus, in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, why He allows such wickedness. He moved my heart to the Parable of the weeds and the wheat. If He pulls out the wicked, He might uproot those who are misguided today, but will eventually repent. I was one of the misguided who repented. Read the lives of the saints and you will recognize the repentant sinners. Peace to you.

Outgoing Senior Pastor Rick Warren stated last night " "Live a Life of Love," to everyone you meet.

Thanks from Spain. Most priests here don't preach on week days, just on Sundays. Multitudes sit at church any given day, for a funeral or something, and they may not hear any words addressed to them for their salvation. No wonder apostasy in Europe is rampant. Faith comes from listening to the Word of God. No doubt He will reward Fr Meeks abundantly.

Fr Meeks has the insights of someone who did not grow up in the Catholic faith. Only a bible reading Christian can gain such knowledge and understanding of the true word of Jesus. I speak as one who was raised a Catholic and only picked up a Bible in the past five years. For me this was life changing.

[@franinator9849]

It is so sad that so many Catholics do not understand that the Mass readings come from the Bible and that they are supposed to themselves deepen the knowledge of the material they are exposed to by going to the source, the Bible!

there is a lot of people who need to hear this, especially that which regarding the increasing hostility against Christians from atheists of the secular world in our time. but many of the flock around the world dont hear any of this because many priests throughout the world, or at least the "West" will not call it out because of compromised or cowardly shepherds. thank you very much Fr Meeks for your homilies, especially this one here. may God Bless you and keep your entire parish safe from all influences of evil

[@francesbernard2445]

The reason it has become hard to define what the wide gate means is because there are too many definitions now only on what the narrow gate is supposed to look like some day. When Christian love starts to grow cold it is because what we treasure has changed too and then that shrinking over time place is where our hearts end up. Like when trusting only in gold and in recognition only from the secular world more and more. Is it only me who is starting to wonder if the most common form of concentration camp now is being homeless with a cell phone and a passport maybe. While often when using a library computer when needing a new prescription for your eye glasses often having to see ads about memory loss and tingly sensations in your feet and hands too. While say being a high school student wearing only flip flops in the winter among other students of similar age dressed warm in a very cold climate for awhile before age 18. When being told they have to learn 2 languages now in only 1 year while they are continuing to finish high school.

[@yesiwroteit4199]

I hope so father and I will👍❤️🔥😎

[@sassulusmagnus]

At 6:49 he refers to "capitulating to things like Wokeness", seeming to suggest that awareness of social injustices such as racism (which is what Wokeness originally meant) somehow represents an erosion of Christian moral authority. A bit confusing. He's correct in his position that it undercuts the Gospel message when Church leaders appear to both condemn and in some ways also accept actions contrary to Christian morality. 2 Timothy 4:2. Christians should expect to have to go against the grain, culturally speaking. In a secular society this might happen frequently. Consumerism, nationalism, environmental irresponsibility, social injustices; these are all features of modern societies in regard to which the message of the Gospel is counter-cultural. His comments about the article that appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (17:00 and following) are inaccurate, leading me to wonder whether he really read the article or was simply offended at its original title (later amended by the editors of the Atlantic Monthly). The article actually warns that extremists are beginning to improperly make use of religious symbols such as the Rosary as a way of disguising an agenda that is actually contrary to the message of the Gospel. It's an old trick that extremists have used before as a way of lending an air of moral legitimacy to a fundamentally immoral agenda.The KKK's use of the symbol of the Cross is a vivid example.

[@sandyshore8787]

Wokeness has a WHOLE LOT more to do with than just racism. If you don’t know what they are , then you do not understand the term WOKE in today’s world. It definitely opposes the teachings of the Catholic Church.
