I am literally crying like I lost a member of my own family! 😭 I’ve never met Father Mark or attended one of his Masses but I watched his sermons every Sunday! What a HUGE loss! He was an INCREDIBLE and an AMAZING Priest for Jesus! My condolences to his family and friends and his congregation. May he Rest in Eternal Peace 🙏🏼

It's always amazing to see how many lives were impacted by my uncle. I appreciate all of the kind words left in the comments. We just assumed he would be here for many more years to come and are still in shock. I appreciate channels like this with large followings that disseminated his messages. He always spoke what was true and what we needed to hear, and he shaped my faith as he has shaped many of yours. Remember, if you ever find yourself missing him, go to the next available mass and he and all of the saints in Heaven will be praying along side you.

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry. Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples! These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." Revelation 22:8-9 KJV 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.* 3 John 1:11 KJV 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.* 1 John 3:6-10 KJV 6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.* 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.* 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.* 10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

[@philipmoore4615]

Who do you call St. Peter? Jesus told Peter this. You are the rock upon which I will build my church. Jesus and Peter founded the Catholic Church. Peter was the first pope. I suggest very strongly that all the doubters and deniers to go visit your local parish and talk directly to a priest. He will describe in clear and concise Biblical terms as to why the Catholic Church is authentic. Go to the holy land and witness this truth from the original followers of Jesus. I met some of them at my parish during a recent visit. Anyone who puts down the Catholic Church puts down Christ Himself. Catholics are the original Christians. Fact.

[@misha-elministries5246]

What Jesus meant by Rock was his name Petra; which means rock in Greek. Romans 10:8-10. That's the gospel right there. The Bible NEVER states that in order to be saved you must be Catholic. Please search God's word for truth. There you will find your answers.

[@michellepajot3414]

@phillipmoore... I think that those whose names are written in The Book of Life will be surprised when we get to heaven. God knows the heart of each person. Praise God for that. But, there's nothing but Jesus' PERFECT sacrifice for those who believe. He kept the Law perfectly and was without sin! That's why we can claim Him as our perfect sacrifice. We don't bring Anything but filthy rags before the throne of God. When God sees me He will see Jesus and His blood covering every sin I've committed....if you're told differently from a Pastor or Priest....run....that's from the pit of hell.

[@Barb2727]

I am SO sad..I live in Huntington Beach, CA, and found Fr. Mark this year. I have listened to his Homily every week since I found him. I looked forward to his Homily, even after hearing our own local homily on Sunday at mass. I loved his sense of humor, his stories, his teaching, and his message. I am filled with tears for his Mother and his family. Yet I know, based upon our faith, and how he walked the walk, Fr. Mark is with Jesus, and has finally met God. May he keep watch over us all in the years and trials which lay ahead. Rest in peace, Father.

Father is so right I have walked on the fence so long I pray for the wisdom and courage to pitch my flag for truth in the power of the Holy Spirit

[@paulalles5030]

Absolutely beautiful homily I hope we can find many priests who defends the truth but nothing but the truth we cannot pick and choose like cafeteria Catholics adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church and to the true magisterium of the church.

Father Beard was a gift to the Church and the world. Ask for his intercession, that our Church will be blessed by many, many more strong, holy priests. May he be ever in the arms of Christ, in the joy he so passionately pointed us toward.

Thank you for the truth Father Mark! I never knew you, but thanks for telling us to get off the fence! This homily alone will have believers and nonbelievers quaking in their boots! Posthumously you are saving souls with this homily. May you rest in peace and joy with the triune Holy God, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen

What a wonderful & brave priest. Strange timing dying in an auto accident just 3 days after this sermon. God bless his soul.

[@marcihf217]

May God grant Fr. Mark eternal repose. I was and still am in shock. I changed and became a better Catholic because of his homilies.

May the Angels lead you into paradise: may the martyrs receive you at your coming, and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of Angels receive you, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may you have everlasting rest.
