Her joy is evident. Hard to argue with genuine happiness.

[@xwind1970]

Indeed. It's literally impossible to have a discussion with s.o. who's arguments are based on feelings.

It's always eine Freude to see normal Leute from Germany! ;) Edit: Ohne Scheiß, das tut wirklich gut. Manchmal kommt es mir so vor, als wäre ich die einzig normale Person in Deutschland.

[@JosePerez-is6nn]

Amazing video ! Revelation was my go to book to start lent this year. I did my best with the help of God and it really set the tone for an effort to become more recollected this year. Powerful stuff

[@ThomisticInstitute]

We're so glad hear it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. May the Lord bless you!

[@aiantenor9080]

"Lord I will still praise and thank you even if there are things that I do not understand.." Praise be to God, thank you Fr Pine and Dr Heereman

[@aiantenor9080]

Saint Vincent Ferrer, pray for me, pray for us 🙏

[@musiclover1236]

Thank you for your talk show ❤️ It’s great and helpful as usual ❤ That’s true, I live and love at this moment of the present, deeply at this moment, not tomorrow, because if I cannot live and love fully at this moment and so how can I deeply love and have faith next moment

[@eduardocavanagh]

What a fantastic conversation in so many ways.

[@JerriStokes]

Thank you!

[@glennlanham6309]

Oh my, I saw her in Steubenville, brilliant lady

[@shuttle484]

Whoever searches will find him our Lord Jer. 29.13. Frau Dr. Heereman makes the connections clear. Especially the transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor shows me that it is not about building three huts there and preserving the moment but about following Jesus, going down the mountain again and taking the way to Jerusalem. And he explained his decision earlier quite clearly when Satan tempted him to make bread out of stones, that is, by divine decree, so to speak, to solve all the problems of this world through his power. Jesus wanted instead to bring himself as a human being into our polluted world and show through his consistent way how God imagines love.

19:00 If the Church is Jesus Christ incarnated in space and Time the Church herself in her divine nature, which is it collectively living in the faithful in a state of grace does not need to learn anything from the world. Rather the world needs to learn from God Jesus Christ and His Church. God in the body of the Church desires and loves those within the world of course but to draw them into the Truth and to marvel at the beauty of human Nature through their active will pursues the Divinity and meets God as He reaches out to humanity.

Dr Nina keeps using and repeating the word "paradigmatic" as if we know what it means. I don't claim to. So what does paradigmatic mean. And why the constant repetition?

Mary Is the Essential Key Our Blessed Mother is the essential key to victory over the Antichrist. “On this universal level, if victory comes it will be brought by Mary. Christ will conquer through her because He wants the Church’s victories now and in the future to be linked to her…” wrote St. John Paul II in Crossing the Threshold of Hope. In his homily on Feast of the Assumption in1997, focusing on Revelation 12, John Paul II again said, “And in this spiritual battle her help to the Church is decisive for attaining the ultimate victory over evil.” The great Pope of Fatima spoke many times of the importance of Fatima and our Blessed Mother. In a way preparing for the end times, Our Lady told the children at Fatima, “You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. It is to save them that God wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If you do what I tell you, many souls will be saved, and there will be peace.” Of course, one major direction Mary gave in every apparition was a “must” - pray the Rosary every day. The great Marian apostle St. Louis de Montfort whose book inspired John Paul II had this to say: “Mary's power over the evil spirits will especially shine forth in the latter times, when Satan will lie in wait for her heel, that is, for her humble servants and her poor children whom she will rouse to fight against him. In the eyes of the world they will be little and poor” but they would “be rich in God's graces, which will be abundantly bestowed on them by Mary. [I]n union with Mary, they will crush the head of Satan with their heel, that is, their humility, and bring victory to Jesus Christ.” Right before him, Bl. Mary of Agreda had a revelation that in the latter days, “the Lord will in a special manner spread the renown of His Mother. Mary began salvation, and by her intercession it will be completed. Before the second coming of Christ, Mary, more than ever, must shine in mercy, might, and grace in order to bring unbelievers into the Catholic faith. The power of Mary in the latter days will be very conspicuous. Mary will extend the reign of Christ over the heathens and the Mohammedans, and it will be a time of great joy when Mary is enthroned as Mistress and Queen of Hearts.” This is just one reason de Montfort stressed, “Devotion to Mary is especially necessary in the latter times.” Following Mary Assures Victory De Montfort tells us in True Devotion to Mary why God has her lead the faithful in the latter times, including the time the Antichrist will appear. “God has established only one enmity - but it is an irreconcilable one - which will last and even go on increasing to the end of time. That enmity is between Mary, his worthy Mother, and the devil, between the children and the servants of the Blessed Virgin and the children and followers of Lucifer.” “Thus the most fearful enemy that God has set up against the devil is Mary, his holy Mother.” De Montfort explained from Genesis (3:16) God already gave Mary who was yet to be born ingenuity to expose, and the power to defeat and crush, the rebellious devil. That’s why “Satan fears her not only more than angels and men but in a certain sense more than God himself. This does not mean that the anger, hatred and power of God are not infinitely greater than the Blessed Virgin's, since her attributes are limited. It simply means that Satan, being so proud, suffers infinitely more in being vanquished and punished by a lowly and humble servant of God, for her humility humiliates him more than the power of God.” De Montfort goes into great detail that abounds in hope and victory in all times. He stresses that in all present and future persecutions “the humble Mary will always triumph over Satan, the proud one, and so great will be her victory that she will crush his head, the very seat of his pride. She will unmask his serpent's cunning and expose his wicked plots. She will scatter to the winds his devilish plans and to the end of time will keep her faithful servants safe from his cruel claws.” Directives for us become clearer and clearer. To win the battle we must be close to Mary. St. John Paul II showed that we have to consecrate ourselves to Mary and her Immaculate Heart and have devotion to her. About devotees, de Montfort stressed, “They will see clearly that she is the safest, easiest, shortest and most perfect way of approaching Jesus and will surrender themselves to her, body and soul, without reserve in order to belong entirely to Jesus.”

Remember all this intellectual discussions and debates about the Summa Theologica the writings of St Thomas Aquainas about his views on God our Creator and his creations im sure is most welcome to the priests ofhis Order the O.P Order of Preacher that is their calling that is their purpose the very essence of their life of service n piety! Im sure St Thomas is smiling in Heaven! But it is said that he just stopped writing one day and stopped on his 12th volume of the Book cause he realized that explaining the totallity and the essence of God our creator 100% absolute is a hopeless endeavour. He acknowledged that we can only peep on the nature and essence of our Good Lord God partly and trying to see His total nature n essence is impossible and that he concluded thats its pride to delve in it that the whole world cant even hold the books that we Will write on explaining 100% of who The Good Lord God is!

14:48 Jesus did not need to read the scriptures to know about himself. This removes His Divine Omniscience. I understand the point that we should know and read the scriptures to know God, but Jesus Did not find out about Himself through the scriptures.

underwhelming: she has not revealed anything major. Quite a bit of babbling about nothing specific, but well known biblical generalities. Btw, for her information:the fact Babylon and Babel are the same thing isn't some kind of esoteric secret --- anyone who studied the Bible at least some knows that. And she obviously has no idea what 'non sequitur' means, which given all the above, leads me to doubt both her 'professional expertise' and her personal understanding of the Gospel etc. And one doesn't have to be a native English speaker to know what 'non sequitur' means, esp. if one is supposed to have been trained as a lawyer.
