Have You Found “Your” Saint Yet? | LITTLE BY LITTLE | Fr Columba Jordan CFR

[@scottyakoubian9238]

No. Your videos are NEVER too long. We can’t get enough.

[@shawnmarie1912]

Love Fr Benedict ❤

[@jimmyhd1969]

May God assist you in leading Ireland back to Christ!

[@mbsweeney1906]

Thank you for talking about Fr. Benedict as a saint. It seems like I never hear anyone talking about him. Thank you for your awesome sense of humor, like St. Philip Neri!

[@briankelly85]

Saint Padre Pio is my favorite. He is a miracle factory.

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

Your videos are not too long. You're never boring, Father.

[@mimip154]

I remember in one of his Sunday evening talks, he said that when he died he would like to be able to reunite lost pets with their owners. This was so sweet. ❤

[@anthonyw2931]

aaaw🥲that's Franciscans for you

THANKYOU FR COLUMBA PLEASE PRAY FOR MY NEPHEW LIAM. GOD BLESS.x

Ahhh there is always something about your videos that bring me so much joy, I cannot help to smile as I listen. I love your channel and I always always always get something special from your words. God bless

[@ctmcatholic]

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!! Greetings from Warsaw Poland 😁

[@LisainNewJersey]

The Little Flower is my go-to saint.

[@willacather986]

I so love Fr. Benedict Groeschel and I've read some of his books. He's a great teacher!

[@MyLittleDomesticChurch]

I listen to Fr. Groeschel Rosaries almost everyday on KZbin!! We love him!! He was a big part of my conversion!! ❤️

[@erinduvic8579]

Oh, Fr. Groechel, please intercede for this broken soul! Thank you Jesus in advance.

[@sandra4065]

Ditto, and Amen❣️😌

[@kclancy8668]

Welcome to Limerick! So happy to have you 🙏🏻

[@kingofthorns203]

Bishop Barron recommends having one Saint that’s very much like you, and another that’s the opposite of you, so that you can learn from them

[@Noel-qc8vl]

Thank you for the reminder of our saintly friends. I'm inspired to return to the help of St Anthony of Padua; he's always a powerful intercessor!

[@anthonyw2931]

Yes! My patron saint!

[@buddybrown8607]

Saint Anthony of Padua, a superstar! He has gotten me through just about everything, and it always protects my animals!

[@kingofthorns203]

I have a special place in my heart for St Anthony of Padua. He’s my parish patron Saint

[@ntmn8444]

He sure is! He’s very friendly. Him and St. Ignatius of Loyola.

[@mariaesmeralda2452]

My favorite saint is John the Baptist. When I was younger I found him rather frightening because he was so radical and ascetic, somehow wild. But growing older I admire him for being unconditionally loyal to the truth, faithful until death.

[@johnherbert2362]

Thanks for another great video Father. Welcome back to the Ireland. God bless from Derry. 🙏

[@KM-ok6pk]

Father, this is how I feel about St. Therese the Little Flower! I didn’t pick her, she picked me. I don’t really resignate with her story like I do with other saints, but she has made it clear that she wants to be best friends with me lol. On her feast day 2 Sundays ago, I smelt roses at mass (none of my family members had smelt it).This is the second time this happened to me. I also feel very close to Blessed Father Michael McGivney and Father Solanus Casey, my Irish saints. I feel so sad for our Protestant brothers and sisters who reject the saints; saints are like our best friends who help us get closer to God. God bless you

[@oldsoul4762]

I feel like St.Therese chose me too. I 'met' her in my mid twenties and wasn't Catholic. She sent me a rose when I asked her and I was lonely and in tears. My first introduction to her was a little novena booklet I had with a small biography of her life. I related to her so much. I chose her for my Confirmation Saint. She has been with me since. Loving and Faithful. Take care my sister. 🌹🌹

[@maryreckard3114]

I always depend on St. Benedict. I call on Him for my children. St. Benedict, St. Anthony, St. Joseph terror of demons, & St. Michael also. !!! 🙏✨️🙏

[@NihouNi]

How lovely to hear about these answers to the prayers of the saints. My life is immeasurably better for having found, as. protestant, this wonderful aspect to my faith. I love Saint Petroc and I am sure Saint Honorine helps my daughter with her friendships. May God continue to bless your work.

[@Marist_Chanel]

St Padre Pio. Definitely St Padre Pio for me. Thanks to St Padre Pio's prayers for me, I managed to win the $1000 prize at bingo and was able to buy a large statue of him. Also, his intercession helped me leave the SSPX. Quite a few other things too he's helped me with that i can't thank him enough for. St Padre Pio has brought me much closer to Our Lord. Deo gratias 🙏

[@arthurdevrome8925]

Christ is our example.

[@henriettanovember4733]

I have multiple sclerosis and am disabled in a wheelchair. My patron saint is Saint Margaret of Castello. And I felt the same as you when she went from Blessed to Saint!

[@hoofixrman]

My wife has MS. I will pray to St Margaret of Castello for you both.

[@jldisme]

@@hoofixrman Thank you! My first name is Jo Lori. What is your wife's first name? I will pray for both of you.

Oh, she is one of my very favorite Saints and so few seem to know her❣️❣️❣️

[@anneangel3297]

Blessings to our priests, religious, deacons and seminarians!

[@bamboolaceway]

Ever since I read The Seven Storey Mountain, I have been drawn to Thomas Merton. I believe he helped lead to my conversion through his, and the other Trappist monks' prayers.

[@nellyf.3153]

St. Elizabeth of the Trinity and St. Maximilian Kolbe for me. ❤

[@ginakendrick2581]

The Diary did that to me too. Love Saint Faustina. I pray with that diary all the time. She’s my friend

[@johnjohng668]

How is this possible these very questions plaguing me and you just answered everything in this video. No, not too long… not long enough! God bless you. Surely the Holy Spirit is with you. 😊

[@marilynvelez8147]

Padre Pio is my go to saint.

[@spurge83]

I look to Jesus, for nobody goes to the Father except through Him.

[@ctmcatholic]

Great! Here’s more info if you’re unsure of the reasoning here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opuTnGSgZ7KLbKcsi=QBMOsag0Eg1toAmL

[@tomcubit6354]

love ya brother! thank you!

[@Eeeeeepboop]

I’ve begged God for friends because I’m so lonely in my faith, and He’s blessed me with an abundance of saints to fill that hole. St Teresa of Avila is absolutely MY saint, she’s my best friend. But St Joseph, St Anthony of Padua, St Patrick, Padre Pio, Joan of Arc, so many others have also played such special rolls in my journey of faith. 🙏💕

[@MediaAttorney]

There's 2 saints that always get me choked up -- St. Therese and St. Maria Goretti. I got to visit St. Therese' relics in Los Angeles, and it was the most powerful encounter I've ever had.

[@Irishherbs]

Welcome to Limerick brother! I ♥St.Joseph of Cupertino (Patron Saint of slow learners and Aviators.He could fly!) and your humanity.Thank you.

[@baldinamolino6577]

I just found your video in KZbin. Amazing. I always believed in miracles: but this is a small one. Tonight I downloaded an app so that I can 'pray better'. And I started reading about St Fr Pio. But the Saint of the day was not just the sainted Father. Must have been at least 20 other saints/blessed! I don't know why I decided to watch KZbin instead of my nightly prayers. But your video came from nowhere onto my feed. No, I don't believe in coincidences; I believe that Jesus needed me to see and hear your talk about saints. Now I'm a fan! The road ahead is rocky; everyday brings a new challenge that comes my way. But I don't give up. Thank you

[@lvlc5]

Fr. Columba, you should write a book.... Catholic topics 101 but you explain them with a special different dimension that makes it special.

[@jennifermarie802]

Saint Monica! She is the patron Saint of most of my prsyer intentions.

[@jacintafwambah8629]

I needed this. I thank God for you. God bless you, Father

[@EX58UD]

I watched a documentary by @gabiafterhours on St. Maria Goretti and cried so much. I can't tell if it spoke to me or it was just how her testimony was told

[@Linda37JMJ]

I’ve been meaning to add Fr. Benedict Groeschel to my Holy Souls list to pray for because I heard he humbly begged people to not canonize him and pray for him after his death. It sounds like he is Home but I’m going to add him anyway. Thanks. Three Hail Marys for you Fr. Columba.

[@joannecuomo1312]

Thank you Father! Great inspiration ❤🙏

The Venerable Bede, St Cuthbert and St Aidan. All for different reasons, all entwined, all my heritage.

[@ctmcatholic]

Very English! Wonderful.

[@Tybourne1991]

It's like Fr. Benedict is teaming up with St. Joseph on some house grace shenanigans! I've got a story too. I had to sell a house in a hurry once, and just when I thought things couldn't get worse, daily downpours were turning the basement into a mini-lake. So, I turned to St. Joseph with a novena, and guess what? The very next day, a buyer strolled in, unfazed by our new indoor pool, and snapped up the house! 🏡🙏✨

[@bernadettegonzalez1258]

Oh Father, you are so sweet and are such a good teacher😊 p.s. love your new room

[@ctmcatholic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jerryczarski5991]

Hi Father! My name is Jerry and Faustina planted me in the Church after many years away. No matter how weird I get living in this world, there is always some grace that brings me close to God in His Church. I thought by now they would leave me alone, LOL! Nope! They keep coming after me. Thank God!

[@AWSKAR]

Might be Saint John Bosco for me. He keeps finding ways to be relevant for my life.

Good morning Father I do ask Padre Pio to pray and to protect me always from the temptations also St Francis. St Clara, Papa Giovanni. Thank you very much please pray for all of us have a safe weekend ahead.

Will pray for you.

[@RH33.66]

Thank you for your personal experience, can not help feeling my shortcomings reading about the lives of the saints but comforted knowing they are accessible to us for their intercession.

Right? I’ve asked the Lord to show me my hidden faults (gently!), and each time He does I’m like, “Ouch! But thank you Lord.!” ☺️❤️

Saint Jude

[@kingofthorns203]

My birthday is his feast day. He’s a great friend to have

[@h82cUg0]

Fr Groeschel did a mission in a very rural part of Virginia. I could only imagine what might of been going through his head, when he arrived! It was a wonderful blessing to see him in person and how well he connected and "worked the room" so to speak. Miss seeing him on EWTN truly caring and of great wit.

[@catholiclife9304]

St. Faustina really does help us understand the grace and love of Jesus. St. Faustina please pray for us. I ask you St. Faustina to please help me to love and obey Jesus and Our Blessed Mother.

[@macdan22]

Anyone else hoping Fr. Columba becomes a saint so we can pray for him to keep helping guide us on our journey to unity in Christ? As a person coming to the Catholic church, Fr. Columba's advice and teachings have been so amazing help to me. As a side note. Could Fr. Columba do a video about what a person should do if they don't have a church (either by location or not worthy) to attend for mass and receiving the eucharist? Thanks again Fr. Columba and Called to More for being such wonderful examples to imitate.

[@IONov990]

Pier Giorgio Frassati and Teresita Quevecedo are great for young people.

[@tiffany2130]

Saints are truly amazing friends we have in heaven ❤️

[@suru01]

Found St Faustina through you Fr Columba. Her diary and the divine mercy chaplet have been incredible blessings to my life. And my "little mother" is St Therese. I imagine St Therese and St Faustina are great friends in heaven.

[@ctmcatholic]

Amazing! Thank you.

[@tubejim101]

Padre Pio loves it, when you send your guardian angle to him with a potion.

[@professedlife2501]

Thank you Father! I'm not even Catholic but I watched Fr. Benedict Groeschel every Sunday night for years and read his books. Admittedly, I found myself tearing up while I was listening to your podcast. I can't believe that he reposed a decade ago.

[@LittleRobotNX01]

Fr. Columba I'm so very desperate to find a house I will pray to Fr. Groeschel. I humbly hope he will hear my prayer. For everyone else I just found Fr. Benedict Groeschel wrote books "The Rosary Chain of Hope" and "Praying in the Presence of Our Lord: Eucharistic Adoration" There's others too, on Amazon. Thank you Fr. Columba, yet again your videos give us hope in all sorts of different ways in the loving presence of our Lord, especially if we don't think or feel we deserve it.

[@simonehinchliffe6868]

I started praying parts of the Breviary a few years ago. It has really helped me (a convert) get to know so many of the Saints and what’s more, to interact with them and ask for their intercession.

[@fidolincoln1322]

I love St. Thomas Aquinas for many reasons. One reason is that he was afraid of lightning (for a completely understandable reason). I think it’s so endearing the way he would always pray so gently to the Lord in a church until the storm passed. I’m afraid of lightning too, and it’s comforting to ask his intercession and to pray with him during a scary storm.

You’ve just made me cry because I’m feeling sorry for myself and I think I’m trying too hard to please everyone and forgetting about asking the saints for help. I started reading St Faustina’s diary during lockdown but didn’t finish it so thank you! listening to this I guess I’d better get back into it. Thank you Fr Columba you’re the best! 🙏🏼📿🙂

Fr. Columba, I need to tell you, without being too lengthy, that my daughter and grandchild were being kicked out of their house. I told her to come move home, but because of certain circumstances and past experience, I KNEW she would not. I wished there was a novena to Fr. Groeschel, but since there isn't, I pulled up his old rosaries from KZbin and began a Fr. Groeschel rosary novena. I started it on Sunday and she contacted me the very next day and asked if she could come home!! I was blown away. Glory to God, and thanks to Fr. Groeschel (and to you)!

[@ctmcatholic]

Praise God!

[@peterkelemen1157]

Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint John Vianey, Saint Padre Pio, Saint Philomena were the ones to propel me towards total conversion.

[@ichigomiku8586]

Praying to the saints is something I'm still struggling to figure how to do, but I hope to be able to pray with confidence once I do get it. I know alot already, but I'm still just a new convert, not even really a year old!

[@Blissfulnessence]

Bless you! And welcome home! Just ask the Saint to intercede on your behalf as they stand in the presence of God. For some Saints there are 'formal' prayers, yet just asking them to pray for and with you suffices!

Thanks for this video. I have my saints dreamteam: Virgin Mary (because of my birthday Aug. 15th: she has always played been a major intercessor in my life), St Paul the Apostle (because of my name), St Thomas more (I was immensily impressed by the movie A Man for All Seasons when I was 6), St. Francis (because of my work as an environmental scientist), St Joseph, St. Lucia (I went almost blind, and through a number pf surgeries fully recoverd my vision not long ago).

A very good read is Father Benedict's book entitled The Saints in My Life.

[@minorytka3163]

My entire life, St. Francis of Assisi has been my friend, teacher, and guide. I met him in my religion class when the priest was reading us a book of "new flowers" - stories as if St. Francis was alive today, what he would be saying to us, people of 20th century if he was walking on the earth. We have been close friends for almost 55 years.
