I was raised protestant and have been deeply wounded at what my home church has become. They now hang a gay pride flag outside the doors, serve a buffet breakfast during service and play band instruments. Kids run around the room and people talk. So much disrespect. It has turned into social hour and entertainment. I now have turned to catholic mass for solace where I can find the faith I knew as a child. I pray every day that it won't go away too. My heart can't take much more.

You should take the RCIA classes with Deacon Fredrick Bartels. He is very knowledgeable and explains it very well! I was too a Protestant but am seeing the values of the Catholic Church!

I am a born again Christian and I love this mans words of truth!

[@johnalmeida7873]

Thank you Father Mike. We all know the truth. We see what is happening before our eyes. We all need to stand up for the truth and not the lies that our political and some religious leaders are giving us. There is no gray areas.. It's black and white.. Darkness and light.

Mary and the saints must be respected BUT they should not be bowed down to..This is proof that images of mama mary and the saints should not be bowed down to! Pray only to God! "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

[@giarose6493]

Pray 🙏 to put God first

[@beautifulpeacock4734]

Yeast is the symbol of corruption. “Watch out” for the corruption of Religious authority and political authority, the two powers. God will justify us, not the politics, God will win the victory. Be always faithful to God. Pray for understanding hearts a gift of the Holy Spirit. Depend on God, He will win

[@jean-ericguindon1853]

Pray for our corrupt Canadian leaders…

[@jean-ericguindon1853]

Another homily so powerful !!

[@mikeygarcia8271]

Can you explain this to me? are you not then disobeying this commandment of God?"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. This is proof that images of mama mary and the saints should not be bowed down to! Pray only to God!

o Ephesians 6:11-13 NKJV 11 Put on the whole Armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. o Ephesians 6:11-13 NIV 11 Put on the full Armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. --------------------------- o Matthew 10:33 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. NKJV 33 But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in heaven. (KJV). 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. (NIV). 33 But those who reject me publicly, I will reject before my Father in heaven. (GNT). 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. (NLT) -------------------------- o 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (NKJV) o 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 GNT 9 Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts 10 or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves-none of these will possess God's Kingdom. 11 Some of you were like that. But you have been purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (GNT) o 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NIV 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NIV) o Ecclesiastes 7:2 o 2 Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart. (NKJV) o 2 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. (NIV) o 2 Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies- so the living should take this to heart. (NLT) o 2 It is better to go to a home where there is mourning than to one where there is a party, because the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all. (Good News Translation) o James 3:6 o 3 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (NIV) o 3 And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. (NLT) o 3 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity (wickedness). The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. (NKJV) o 3 And the tongue is like a fire. It is a world of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from hell itself. (GNT)

[@Frankie5Angels150]

Sure. Go ahead and insult the woman in whose womb the Creator of the Universe chose to become incarnate. See how that works out for you. Jesus was, among other things, a Jewish boy devoted to his mother. He performed his very first miracle at Caana at his mothers request. Why do followers of apostate heretics fail to see that Mary is to be revered as the Mother of God? Kinda disappointed in all of you Protestants.

[@lisaparker1607]

You might want to check out your assumptions. Catholics do not bow down to Mary or the Saints... only to Jesus. Never have, never will.

[@luinanarvaez2070]

Do you not understand....it's a warning guard against corruption of men, leaders, doctrines of men, rituals, etc John 12 :36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” John12: 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

[@rocioaldana8363]

He is the beard of life. Leaven rises in the dough just like sin in the Church. The Roman Jews crucified Him. We crucify Him when we accept Him in our lives, leave to serve Satan, then back come to Jesus. He died one time only, Stop sinning!
