God bless you, Fr. Miles! We are blessed to have you and your homilies. God reward you! 🙏🏼

[@jillprescott8448]

Thank you Fr Miles for agreeing to step in and lead us at this time. This was a beautiful and meaningful homily.🙏

[@juneleuschen8746]

Wonderful homily Fr. Miles. Thank you.🙏✝️

[@annortis4163]

Thank you, Fr Miles and I will pray for both you and For souls of purgatory beginning with Fr Mark Beard. In our St Thomas Prayer for priests group in Phoenix, I mentioned Fr Mark Beard, priests who gave our baptism, first confession and first Communion, Sacraments of Matrimony and said the first Mass we ever heard and the first funeral we ever attended. I pray the best for St Helen's parish with you, now as Administrator, Fr. Miles. Thanks be to God for All our Priests and Bishop Priests! God Bless your good work to Bring Souls to Christ and Save Souls, too. +Viva Cristo Rey!+

A Beautiful reflection Father Miles. I live in Australia, did not know anything about Fr Mark but his last homily came up on my phone very early this morning, and I listened to him. His conviction was inspiring, and I am certain that he will be very sorely missed at Saint Helena Church.I shall pray for Fr Mark, and for you all. Our God is so amazing in so many ways, our silly minds cannot begin to grasp the wonder of Him. So, humbled, we can only bow down in awe and gratitude. I love that we are all united in Christ by being part of his wide family; that with His grace we shall one day be drawn together and be one people before Him, irrespective of where in the world we lived. God bless you.

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.

@@Call_Upon_YAH Another KJ only who thinks Saint Paul spoke in King James English. The Catholic Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, defined the NT canon of 27 books in the late 4th century. As for the OT, the Early Church Fathers quoted from the Deuterocanonicals extensively and they were in the LXX version (Greek) of the OT, the version that the Apostles overwhelmingly quoted from. Furthermore, all the earliest Codices include the LXX with the Deuterocanonicals. You are another flat earth bubba Bob/sister ethel whose ancestors had nothing to do with the early Church in the first 200 years.

I was one of those "lost souls". Fr. Mark helped me, without knowing me, find my way back to the Church that he so loved. Listening to him preach the Gospel put me back on track and got me back to the sacraments. I will forever be grateful to him for that. I pray for his soul and I ask him to pray for me.

@@Call_Upon_YAH The Catholic Church is the reason you even have a Bible to read. It's obvious that you, like a lot of your misguided Protestant brothers have interpreted what the Bible actually says incorrectly. I will pray for you.

[@RestoreJustice675]

It was said that one of the first two children of Fatima who died, was supposed to be in purgatory until the end of world. If a child's sin can warrant such a purgatory sentence, certainly we would do well to pray for the souls of all adults who die. Even Father Marks soul. God in Jesus name Grant Father Mark repentance in the hour of his death, perfect contrition at the moment of his death, and mercy and the washing of the Precious Blood of Jesus at Fr Marks Judgment. Padre Pio and Saint Faustina both said that God lives outside of time and space. Thus all things are before God at all times. From the moment of our birth to our appearance before him in Judgment. Thus our prayers can be effective for those long since passed away. Jesus was said to have told Padre Pio that the suffering Padre Pio suffered in his life, alleviated Christs sufferings on the Cross. May God have mercy on us all and wash us and our long deceased loved ones with the precious blood of Jesus at our judgments.

[@rolexusgrimes4136]

I’m blessed to have been one of Fr Mark’s parishioners & he always told us not to assume he was going to Heaven and to pray for him. St. Helena is in good hands with Fr Miles. He is a lovely person.

[@b.a.moncion7766]

It is truly necessary to pray for his eternal rest… a little correction… when Lucia asked for a girl named Amelia who was 15 or so when she died if she went to heaven our Lady of Fatima said that she’d be in purgatory till the end of times… surely many people have prayed for her soul, she’s also probably in heaven too by now. We only know we must pray for the souls of the purgatory.

[@RestoreJustice675]

@@rolexusgrimes4136 I only saw a few of his videos, but I sure love his common sense and passionate preaching that seemed to come straight from the heart. I'm not sure what protestant denomination he came from but it's always great when priests preach from their heart rather than reading a written message. I wish I could hear more of his sermons. He truly had the spiritual gift of preaching and teaching.

[@RestoreJustice675]

@@b.a.moncion7766 Thanks I always understood that to be one of the two other children of Fatima. I've got a friend who said to me a week or so ago after reading a couple books on Purgatory how she didn't think she was going to make it to heaven simply based upon the sins of why people were in purgatory. Too in one of those books it was revealed by one of the suffering souls that for every mortal sin we will spend 7 years in purgatory. And too that there are 7 levels of purgatory and that the lowest level is for the worst of sins, and that in the lowest level our prayers are ineffective for these souls that end up there. And too that the in this lowest level the demons have access to these souls. I truly believe we need to hear about these things from our priests on Sunday. Sunday Mass is where most Catholics get their spiritual direction, that is if they are even attending. We have around a 15% church attendance and of our young people some 60% fall away and only about 35% ever return. We have our work cut out for us.
