In the midst of the dark and turbulent times in which we are living, the prophetic voice of Pope John Paul II has assured us again and again that we are living in the pre-dawn darkness of a bright new day and has urged us to renew our hope in “the definitive coming of the Kingdom of God” (Tertio Millenio Adveniente). Father Iannuzzi’s magnificent book, The Splendor of Creation, will assist us greatly in doing just that. The fruit of exhaustive and painstaking research, it helps us peer into two thousand years of reflection on the prayer which the Lord Jesus commanded us to pray together with Him. And still more, it presents us with convincing evidence that the day when this prayer will be answered is near at hand. + Archbishop George Pearce Diocese of Providence, R.I.

Thank you Father Joseph - "abandoning your agenda" on your knees! God bless you Father.

[@VeronicasVeil333]

What a beautiful experience you had of Mother Mary……..wonderful!!🕊️♥️

[@Linda-Marie-ocds]

A well needed mic for a spiritual director who teaches 8 hours a week on live zoom.... Blessed be Jesus! Thank you to the benefactor!

[@karmelicanke]

I regularly pray," Do not let me be deceived."

[@jacintacox3239]

Have you looked at the promises of the rosary? They are literally the promise that you will be protected from the deception of any heresy. Honestly, one of my main drives to say the rosary is that very promise.

[@user-jf5vk5rn3u]

I find my whole day is about God - a constant feeding for me spiritually. It's like living eating breathing God. Fiat...

[@soroushfetkovich5084]

As I was praying sobbing for my poor mom who was suffering from a devastating mouth cancer holy Mother Mary invited me to visit Medjunrgorgia. My mother passed away few days ago and I’ll be going there in Christ Jesus and Mary most holy🙏🏼💕♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️✝️

[@nathaliepeacock9915]

My condolences for your lost. ❤ I will pray for her, you and your family. May God give you the strength and healing you and your family need to continue your journey here with us. ❤ 🙏🏻

[@easytrapeezee]

I'm so sorry for your sorrow x

[@marycrockett350]

So sorry you lost your mom I will think of in my prayers ❤

[@Corato4535]

Perhaps Our Lady was preparing you for your mama’s passing. It happened to me when I came back to the Catholic Church in 2007. Exactly 2 months to the day, my mother became gravely ill and died some months later. I just knew The Father was preparing me for my mother’s death. I was very peaceful but only by His grace ✝️

[@jothompson1903]

Wonderful talk! 🦜

[@sheiladumigan451]

Beautiful experience you had of the Blessed Mother! Fiat...

[@carmelherbert1622]

Thankyou fr Joseph for this teaching

[@Embien]

When I went to Medjugore I found that everything changed. My Mum died, I lost my family home and job. Thank you Lord, amen.

[@easytrapeezee]

Oh my dear. I'm so sorry x

[@salomeguevarra2332]

Thank you Rev Fr Ianuzzi🕊️🙏

[@Fiat-Domine]

That last question about acts being "stored" and Fr noting that the correct term is "deposited" was interesting. It made me think of how a person could store money under their mattress or in a safe, or they could deposit the money in an account that earns interest. Similar to the parable of the talents. Anyway, wonderful episode and thank you to the person in Australia that provided the mic upgrade to Fr.

[@florencemcphersonkudla2930]

Will be nice to listen now thankful Father Joseph fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤and Doctor

Don't forget the tiramisu as well . Bless u

[@conniesad7]

Thank you Father

[@soroushfetkovich5084]

Fiat!!!!

[@thatwifeofhis7815]

Got a good lol over the announcement of the new microphone. What a kind viewer to contribute for that. Though it was an eensy insufferable, there was a certain charm of the former poor quality...esp on audio-only podcasts, something always seems to be happening in Fr's immediate vicinity that we can't see, but he's always a class act w/how he handles it.😁 I sent a little $ for gelato/tiramisu, and a question but I'll ask here just in case anyone else might be able to offer info... Going to Medjugorje for tge 1st time in Oct. Tom Medjugorje's channel featured a small event over the Divine Will with a handful of attendees, I was wondering if these happen often, and how a visitor could get in on one. TY. God blesses all you do, Father...not surprised Our Lady considers you so familiarly. 💙

[@divinewillera1885]

Very astute commentary!

[@ArnaudL.-bi3st]

Wonderful ! Nice exposition ! Had a.. blast

[@137997311ful]

Father, when we implore the Holy Spirit for the gift of discernment what happens to us after that? How does the Holy Spirit begin to work in our lives and how will we know the Spirit is? I hope I'm making sense?

[@davidagudelo2435]

I am not a priest, nor a theologian. And clearly I am not father Ianuzzi. But I could share some insight from experience. You will have to ask the gift, practice the method usually outlined by father Iannuzi: 1. Facts, 2. Prayer, 3. Sense the Spirits, 4. Ask for advice, 5. make a decision. And, the more you: 1. ask for guidance, 2. are open to receive an answer, You would end up usually doing the right thing. Be it because you either make the right choice or the fact changes and things go in another way. Mistakes will be made and what is apparent will change. But it is more about being docile to what the spirits moves in you. And, in my experience, the Spirit is soft and corteous. It is not pushy nor it makes you fret. That has been my experience.

Hi fr. Also about suspened graces, I'd like to hear about that a bit more. The saints doing His Will but not living in it. Also about our being leant the Divine will, even for a moment. .?

Please, the name of the musical score at the end?

[@sandiefox44]

Sorry.......... Father I pray in Tounge every time I go 2 church u said no one I do always do it .... without failing... u should n all other priest encourage every one 2 pray in tounge n sing in tounge bless u... father...

[@divinewillera1885]

Father never said "no one should pray in tongues." Rather, he said that "anyone can pray in tongues... and that St. Paul stated that if one is the "speak" in tongues (note: not "pray" in tongues) there should be a translator. There is a distinction between the two that many charismatics and pentecostals miss.
