The evil one tries to keep us from meditating. Lighting a blessed candle and having a blessed crucifix helps to keep the focus during prayer. Playing Gregorian Chant music clears the air of evil before going into prayer. I like to use the ACTS to start. Adoration, contrition, thanksgiving and supplication.

What a tremendous blessing Friar Anthony has been in my life. He speaks truth from the heart and says it like it is. Oh and the love he has for Our Blessed Mother is simply beautiful. Whenever I see Marian Friars Minor on, I excitedly click it knowing a fruitful message awaits. Thank you Friar Anthony. God bless to all. 🤍🙏🕊️📿🤍

My response when I see those kind of people is, thank GOD they are still attending mass and that means they are still connected to GOD and have a chance of growing in their faith. I have to pray for them to grow deeper in their faith. Their lives are much better than those who don’t go to church of which I have to pray for also.

'O soul steeped in darkness, do not despair. All is not yet lost. Come and confide in your God, Who is love and mercy.' Diary of St Faustina It is the enemy of our souls that tries to convince us to give in to despair. Let us instead place our complete trust in our loving God. As we rest in Him, He does the work of changing our hearts to be one with His. 'Jesus, I trust in You!' ❤

The friar has a penchant for excoriating and castigation. Broadly needed in Christendom today. Luckily no one is more critical of me than myself and I admit I have turned back. The honeymoon prayer phase is definitely over for me. But does the friar understand the scale of consequence if they did what he preaches? Could he do more to actually help them?He’s not ready for than convo.

What about all those leapers who asked Christ for healing? What about the Roman centurion who begged Christ to heal his manservant? What about the sisters of Lazarus who begged Christ to come and heal him? Did They ask too much of God also? Were they only thinking of themselves? Were they all hypocrite too? I am always wary of hypocrites calling hypocrites hypocrites.
@thomasbrooksbank31789 ай бұрын
So indirectly you just call Padre a hypocrite. Lol. Does that make you a hypocrite? Do I need to be wary of you because you called him a hypocrite? What I am saying is that the argument is circular. Maybe just listening to our Lord and knowing what comes from a man's mouth will defile a man. You're in my prayers. Ave Maria

Those are people who asked for God's mercy. That's different from offering yourself to serve God. Blessed Bartolo Longo asked for God's mercy then offered his life to His service. From redemption to full conversion.
@kasilluzions27669 ай бұрын
Christ heals, but he is not a healer, he is SAVIOR. Ask and you shall receive, Our Lord is merciful, so yes be bold in asking for healing. But the only reason why he heals is to give Glory to the Father. Thank God!!! Christ heals our wounds so we can freely choose and accept Him, so that we WITH Him can glorify the Father through our witness to the Truth. But God doesn’t always heal, he didn’t free John the Baptist from prison, he let Lazarus die before he resurrected him from the dead, and he SUFFERED before he ROSE, and we have to be ready and faithful enough to desire Him and see in Him Heaven more than we desire our own healing. If he heals us, Glory to the Lord, if not, Glory to the Lord.

With due respect but the majority of priests make the mass a repetition and the holy spirit is not there. Mostly is just rituals. When I go to mass, is mostly to receive the eucharist, the rest is just sermon repetitions.

Such important wisdom, so badly needed by the Faithful and the faithless alike. Too bad it will never be heard through the creepy, sanctimonious and condemnatory tone in which it was delivered; a loveless, unsympathetic "Ned Flanders meets Vincent Price" voice which offends the Lord and sends parishioners fleeing from the pews. May God open your heart and grant you insight into your Self
