Fr Donald Calloway - The Virgin Mary in Our Lives

This video was filmed at the Louisville, KY Marian Conference in October of 2010. Fr. Donald Calloway spoke about his love for our Blessed Mother. He tells how he begged Our Lady to protect him so that he would not be besieged with all the “negative” influences in the world. After being taught by those that did not know their Catholic faith, he did his own research into the rich church documents to find his own answers.
He encourages all of us to have a relationship with our Blessed Mother, he said it will change your life. She will draw you into a relationship with God.

I am a protestant on my way out, praying the rosary daily and getting to know Holy Mother Mary. It feels like my eyes are opening. Coolest thing happened yesterday. My Ex-Jehova Witness friend got me a rosary yesterday. Check that out. Is God working or what??

[@user-rv2tf6mz3r]

Im a Filipino, the 3rd child in our family of 11 children. My mother died young in a car accident which was devastating to me but ilmade me stronger in my faith. There are many religious sects in our country, which tried to convince us to change our religion but we remain to be catholics because I always remember my mother telling me "you can change everything but never your being catholic." Many of our relatives are now born again, in the Iglesia, but Im thankful to God we are still in his flock. I have a lot of experience as a Catholic and being a lawyer those experiences provide me the opportunity to share them to my clients who are devasted when encountering problems with nobody to listen. Im thankful to God this was the profession he gave me and able serve for his honor and gratification not for my ambition.

He is deceived and is deceiving others. His devotion to Mary is not based on the Bible! Read your Bible and God will lead you to the TRUTH. Roman Catholicism is anti biblical religion. Everything what is not according to this Holy Book is satanic. If you pray to Mary and saints you are praying in reality to Satan and demons. God warns the believers - Rev 18:4-so come out from this false religion.

@@peterj6740you don’t understand, of course we can pray directly to God, but having His Mother praying with us is better as she’s completely pure and just. James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things. Prov15:29 The Lord is distant from the impious. And he will heed the prayers of the just. Virgin Mary is our heavenly Mother too Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was angry at the woman. And so he went away to do battle with the remainder of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and who hold to the testimony of Jesus Christ. We can never love, honor or respect Virgin Mary more than God does. She’s the epitome of who God wants us to be. We can never have too many prayers.

[@lucillebonds2196]

​@@mitchellosmer1293Did you examine what prayers composed the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It's all based on the Life of Jesus and Mary. It is a compendium of the Holy Bible. First we make the Sign of the Cross (when Emperor Constantine went to battle against another general of the Roman army to vie for the position as Emperor of Rome he told his mother that if her God will secure him victory he will follow him. God showed him the Cross in the sky that said "By this Sign you shall conquer" and told him to put it in his cloak, in his banner, so forth so on. The rest was history. He won the battle. That's why God was showing the power of His cross and starts our prayers with His Sign of the Cross.) Next we pray the Apostles Creed, I guess protestant pray that too. The 12 Apostles developed that prayers too for us Christians. Then Our Father which came from Jesus. The 3 Hail Marys in honor of the Blessed Trinity. Then the next small bead is for the Doxology - Glory be the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. Amen What do you think are the prayers not in Scripture? Next we go to the main Rosary. There are three Mysteries(JOYFUL, SORROWFUL AND GLORIOUS) in the Life of Mother and Son. First is the JOYFUL MYSTERY composed of 1. Annunciation of Archangel Gabriel sent by God the Father to a young virgin Mary announcing to her that from the beginning (Gen. 3: 15. ---IPSA CONTERET CAPUT TUUM.) she is chosen to become the Mother of God. God wants her yes of her own volition. At first she hesitated because she made a Vow of Virginity that's why she answered "I know no man." 2. VISITATION TO HER COUSIN ELIZABETH where St. Elizabeth confirmed in her greeting that she is the Mother of Our Lord and said to her and when Mary greeted her St. John the Baptist who was 6 months old in her womb jumped with joy upon seeing the Lord in the womb of Mary. In our Sacred Traditions the Saints said that St. John the Baptist was kneeling in the womb greeting Jesus and at the same time Jesus absolved him of his original sin just like St. Joseph His foster Father. So both were born without original sin. No need of baptism. From here you might have an idea what's next. You may go to youtube or Google search More about the Holy Rosary. I still have tons to pray to make up for my sins to God "Praise be to Thee O Lord, King of Eternal Glory." Deo gratias!

I had a pregnancy that was troubling, a childbirth during which they had to call a code. We did not know from moment to moment, whether my son, was going to make it. We almost died on the delivery table, and he could have died in the hospital afterward. I went to Mary. I told Her I knew She suffered watching Her Son as He was dying. I asked Her how She made it through and asked Her if She could help me. While praying to Her, She put us at the foot of the cross, with our arms around each other. I knew She understood and I knew She heard me. I remember my love for Her, started from the first moment as a baby, we met. I knew I loved my Blessed Mommy, as I called Her. I loved spending time with Her. I knew She would be there always, especially as I needed her. She showed up, with her Son, and we cried. Jesus loves children and wants us to be innocent like them. It was amazing to be part of this loving Family. I am so grateful that my Grandparents said the rosary on the way to take Poppop to work every day. When I needed Them, They already knew. We had a loving relationship and I trusted them, even when the doctors were telling me my son was very sick and they talked about his death. I knew my Blessed Mother and my Brother, Her Son, Jesus would be with me no matter what happened. 💖🙏🌹📿

When you learn the truth, you will understand. ------------- The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock. . *1 Corinthians 10:4* and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. ------------- • Adding doctrines is apostasy and it’s forbidden. *Deuteronomy 4:2,* *Galatians 1:6-7* *Mark 7:7* Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ------------- • There aren’t any officiating new covenant priests. We have a new ministry in the new covenant. *Ephesians 4:11* • God does not show favoritism *Romans 2:11* -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the Spirit. *Acts 1:5* ------------- • The scriptures show no differences in the apostles. ****Equality amongst the apostles**** “Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” *Ephesians 2:20* “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”*Revelation 21:14* • Peter was no different than the others. ------------- • Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only *one* mediator in heaven between God & Man. *1 Timothy 2:5* For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, ------------- • All Christians are saints. *Philippians 1:1* Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: ------------- • All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God to receive forgiveness for sins. *1 Peter 2:5* Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. ------------- • The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. *Ezekiel 18:20* The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. ------------- • Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. *Acts 17:11* *Ephesians 3:4* As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. *Psalm 119:15* I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. ------------- • In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no belief in Peter as the Rock 1 Corinthians 3:11, no man-made doctrine, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, but only by faith through grace are we saved. *Ephesians 2:8* "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".

[@margaretoconnor7077]

@@billsmith147 Bill Jesus himself taught us to love and honour our parents, do you not love and honour Jesus' mother? We honour Mary we do not worship her Worship is: sacrifice. Not! Singing and praying; we pray and sing to Mary; We don’t sacrifice. Why it is important to pray to Mother Mary to be intercessor (ask Jesus on our behalf) of our prayers. Jesus cannot say no to his Mother. Example: When Jesus and his mother were at the wedding at Cana and the wedding people ran out of wine, Mary approached Jesus and said “Son they have run out of wine” and Jesus replied, "Woman, what has this to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother then said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you" (John 2:3-5). Jesus ordered the servants to fill containers with water and to draw out some and take it to the chief steward waiter. After tasting it, without knowing where it came from, the steward remarked to the bridegroom that he had departed from the custom of serving the best wine first by serving it last (John 2:6-10). John adds that: "Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and it revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him" (John 2:11). Basically; even though Jesus was reluctant to do what he was asked, he went ahead and did what his mother asked of him anyway, therefore, his weakness is his mother’s request; Mary asked for Jesus to perform a miracle on behalf of the bridal party and he did it. So if Mary asks Jesus for something on our behalf, do you think he will deny her? He might say no at first but! He’ll give in to her. He might say no to us, but! He won’t, not do, what his mother asks of him, therefore; just ask Mary (his mother) to ask him our behalf and it will be granted. Aramaic (the language spoken by Jesus and his apostles,) had no word for “cousin,” so cousins and other close relatives were often referred to as brothers. The brothers and sisters that they said were actually Jesus' cousins by Joseph's brother (Clopas) . you will notice on the cross Jesus gave his mother to John to care for as his own mother. “Don't you think if she had other children they would have taken care of her” He would have had surviving siblings who would have taken care of her. It would be surprising for Jesus to release his brothers from their obligation to their mother, especially because he criticized the Pharisees for neglecting the support of their own parents in Matthew 15:3-6. The New Testament does not say that Elizabeth is Mary’s cousin, the Greek word for which is anepsios. The word used in Luke 1:36 to describe Elizabeth is suggenes (pronounced su-gen-ace), which simply means kinswoman or relative. It tells us nothing about her exact relation within the extended family. All we can tell from the word suggenes is that Elizabeth was some kind of female relative of Mary’s. But whether she was an aunt, a cousin, or a more distant relation cannot be determined from the word. Oh and Mary was a common name, so guess what, her sister in law had the same first name. John 19:25 New International Version (NIV) 25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister Mary, the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. Mary was dedicated before her birth to serve the Lord in the temple, as Samuel had been dedicated by his mother (1 Sam. 1:11). This required perpetual virginity of Mary so that she could completely devote herself to the service of the Lord. Joseph was a male protector who would respect her vow of virginity. When Mary conceived, Joseph had to answer to the temple authorities. So Mary’s betrothal to Joseph was not in conflict with her vow of virginity. When the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son, Mary asks, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” (Luke 1:34). At this point, Mary was engaged to Joseph. Why would she then be so surprised at being told she would conceive? If she were planning on having children with Joseph in the usual way, it wouldn’t make sense for her to ask how she would be able to have a child. This question makes sense only if Mary was already planning to remain a virgin. The firstborn was to be consecrated to the Lord (Ex. 13:2); the parents were to redeem every firstborn son (Ex. 34:20). They weren’t supposed to wait until they had a second child to redeem the firstborn, and so the first son born to a woman was called the firstborn regardless of whether or not she had other children later on. Mary’s perpetual virginity demonstrates her purity of heart and total love for God. Mary’s virginity was “so great an example of material virtue” because it demonstrated her total devotion to Jesus. In Mary, we see an example of the purity our own hearts must have in total dedication to God. Her virginity also tells us something about the Church, which, like Mary, is both mother to the faithful and “pure bride to her one husband” (2 Cor. 11:2). Matthew 1:24-25 Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. That doesn't mean that they consumated the marriage after the birth. This is used to emphasize what is being described before the until is fulfilled. It is not intended to say anything about the future beyond that point. Here are some biblical examples: 2 Samuel 6:23: And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to (until) the day of her death. (Does this mean she had children after she died?) 1 Corinthians 15:25: For he (Christ) must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. (Does this mean Christ’s reign will end? By no means! Luke 1:33 says, “he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”) When Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until (Gk. heos hou) I could send him to Caesar.” Does this text mean that Paul would not be held in he was “sent” to Caesar? Not according to the biblical record. He would be held in custody while in transit (see Acts 27:1) and after he arrived in Rome for a time (see Acts 29:16). The action of the main clause did not cease with heos hou. Proof the words Hail Mary were in the Bible. The first two passages from Saint Luke’s gospel is greeting of the Angel Gabriel to Mary, originally written in Koine Greek. The opening word of greeting хaĩpɛ , chaíre, here translated “Hail”, literally has the meaning “rejoice or be glad”. This was the normal greeting in the language in which Saint Luke’s gospel is written and continues to be used in the same sense in Modern Greek. Accordingly both “Hail and Rejoice” are valid English translations of the word (“Hail” reflecting the Latin translation and “Rejoice” reflecting the original Greek). The Hail Mary prayer is Biblical Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee (Luke 1:28) хaĩpɛ , chaíre, here translated “Hail”, literally has the meaning “rejoice or be glad” so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’ Blessed out though among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. (Nod in reverence to the name). (Luke 1: 42) She gave a loud cry and said, 'Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Holy Mary, mother of God pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. (we are asking the Mother of Jesus/God to pray for us) it’s ok to pray to Mother Mary and the saints because they are alive in heaven. (not dead).

[@redbird9000]

I’m sorry for anyone who has been affected by the leadership of the Roman Catholic church. Please study God’s word for yourself. When you learn the truth, you will understand. ------------- The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock. . *1 Corinthians 10:4* and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. ------------- • Adding doctrines is apostasy and it’s forbidden. *Deuteronomy 4:2,* *Galatians 1:6-7* *Mark 7:7* Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ------------- • There aren’t any officiating new covenant priests. We have a new ministry in the new covenant. *Ephesians 4:11* • God does not show favoritism *Romans 2:11* -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the Spirit. *Acts 1:5* ------------- • The scriptures show no differences in the apostles. ****Equality amongst the apostles**** “Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” *Ephesians 2:20* “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”*Revelation 21:14* • Peter was no different than the others. ------------- • Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only *one* mediator in heaven between God & Man. *1 Timothy 2:5* For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, ------------- • All Christians are saints. *Philippians 1:1* Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: ------------- • All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God to receive forgiveness for sins. *1 Peter 2:5* Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. ------------- • The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. *Ezekiel 18:20* The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. ------------- • Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. *Acts 17:11* *Ephesians 3:4* As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. *Psalm 119:15* I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. ------------- • In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no belief in Peter as the Rock 1 Corinthians 3:11, no man-made doctrine, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, but only by faith through grace are we saved. *Ephesians 2:8* "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".

They got their wish.....have always had a deaf blind idiot pope..... everyone of them from the beginning of their self ordained false church. Funny how a priest can screw around and be immoral but become “holy father” and you dumb people confess go to confess your sins to them! But nuns have to be pure and wear veils!!!!! What bullshit! Mary is dead.....like all deciple....can’t bring any person to God....their life and work is finished! Quit being deceived! We are all saints once saved.....don’t need the pope to make you one. Why are people leaving the Catholic Church.......because it is dead and always has been!!! He is right....pray for him....he needs to be saved and Brought back from the dead. Notice how he Just called a little girl a skank (actually used that term) before she grows up and then glorifies and grooms her for beauty and thinks all she wants is to be a princess.....sex from the pulpit.....focusing on females for sexual purposes.....then says a boy should be strong and says nothing about him being sexually pure!!!!!!
