Thank you & God bless you, Fr Dave! When my son, who didn’t have a good father model, told me when he was about 14 yrs old that he thinks he’s attracted more to men than women, I told him simply that he’s still growing up, his body still in progress with yet ever-changing hormones, to wait & pray to God, Who does not make mistakes. I prayed, trusted in God’s will, encouraged him to date girls & also had male friends. He went to Medical School, married & now has 2 children, praise God 😊🙏🏽❣️ Happiness is just a state of mind, which can be manipulated by what one sees, reads, hears; fed by peers & the media. True happiness can only come from knowing God’s love ❣️

Father Dave, I will never forget when I had a visit from another state for a week. One night after supper, I see the dad on the sofa, on his phone internet. Mom is sitting beside him, on her phone internet. 2 kids, on the sofa, each on their tablets. All lined up on my sectional, each in their own world. That was an eye opener for me. And yet, here I am on you tube, while spouse is watching a movie on tv. It’s going to take something big, really big to bring us out of this cycle. Praying….

[@kerrywoods5314]

I just love these catch ups Fr Dave, thank you. This topic is a tough one, it is very hard to filter out all these influences we are bombarded with. It must be difficult for those growing up now. I sometimes feel if it wasn't for my faith I would be very overwhelmed by it all. We must remember that raising our kids is a community effort & for Catholics that's raising our children with strong Christian values with the help of our community, the Church. Also teaching our children the value of reading & understanding the Bible as our reference guide to life, something I always found invaluable. This week will devote a Rosary to all those kids who feel in turmoil over the issue of their gender & sexual preference. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will guide them to life God has chosen just for them. Once again, I really enjoyed your post. Have a great week Fr Dave, pats for beautiful Cragly🙏❤️

I’m a mother of three teenagers and I admit that I put off the media/electronics devices for a long time, but noticed drastic changes especially in my youngest when they started using them. Less interest in toys, drawing and legos once they have the fancy light up “toys” like video games and now cell phones. It can be a battle to monitor screen time and I often ask myself WHY and WHEN did I allow this?! It’s a pain, and more seriously-you hit the nail on the head of it can be a danger to their psychological development, and even affect sleep cycles which are as we know important for physical and mental growth. My kids are pretty good kids, I’m pretty lucky, but that being said when I notice mood swings, the first thing I think of is how much screen time has this kid had today? And not just that but WHAT are they looking at? Now I get to be a detective and I pay for this?? Craziness that I have done to myself. Anyway, thank you for saying something, I think you are SPOT ON!!! And I absolutely agree with the analogy of the emperors new clothes-that is EXACTLY how it feels with todays society.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this Father Dave. Your observations on the media, culture, and our young people's exposure to it (and it's influence) is spot on. There was a stunning recent study/poll that claimed that nearly 30% of Gen Z participants identify as Gay or Trans. I found this to not only be stunning, but also likely not equating to the percentage actually living that lifestyle amongst them (a far lower percentage). Add in the reports of children as young as 4 and 5 years old (some parents claim even younger) declaring themselves trans, even though any real form of sexuality is still years off. So why do so many claim to be? I believe it is, in part, to what you have stated here. The media, our schools, and our culture, now "celebrate" and put on a pedestal, the LGBTQ+ community in such a way, that I believe that children, who naturally yearn to be special, lauded, and praised (basic human condition), see that proclaiming themselves part of this group brings immediate satisfaction of this desire. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, is the lack of God in these aforementioned places (media, school, govt, culture) where He once had been so prevalent. Where there exists a moral vacuum, it will inevitably be filled by immorality. The glaring change in numbers in just the last couple of generations (I was born in the 60s) is obvious and startling, and what has changed? Lack of God, and your well stated point, exposure to Media. Sadly, just discussing these things is difficult these days and ANY dissenting thought leads to shaming and judgement, even though as Christians we discuss in love and not condemnation, but it's so refreshing to be able to discuss this here, respectfully, lovingly, and honestly. So much has changed in the last decades, and so quickly, but thankfully on thing hasn't (and never will) .....and that's God. Gob bless you father Dave, much love.

I don't let her date (maybe when she's 25, lol), but they took her innocence away😢. I was/am so angry that I am taking her out of the public school and sending her to a small catholic school next year!

I’m Canadian and my child is 18.5. You are so right in everything you said. I lost my only child to transgenderism. I didn’t and don’t believe that God makes mistakes. We are only starting to see the peripheral damage to the kids claiming trans. Miriam Grossman was the first time I heard anyone stand up for the family. I love my child but she has chosen her father and omitted me from her life. In an argument at a children’s hospital and in front of the dr who agreed in demeanour (nodding head) when my ex said “why can’t you just play along until she hits university, gets some stick and decides she likes it”. Her teachers in a Catholic school system (that my great great grand-father began in 1883) all took to her like a lil broken bird and her psychiatrist said I was the problem. Absolutely I’m a problem. Problem is all I ever wanted in life was a family. The world I know tied my hands as a parent. What do you do when so many around you are self destructing. It overwhelms me often and I’m so grateful for the faith that I find so easy to understand in a world that darkly and often leaves me so cold. More videos like this need to be made. Who is looking out for the family while the woke folks look after the misled.

My heart goes out to you. I see so much, as you do about what is happening in one's family or in families 👪 you know. I'm in transportation and have been dealing with children for many years.

Don't ever give up on your daughter and your family. May God's mercy be with you, through your trials. Peace and blessings 🙌

@@G-MIP but, if she identifies as a different gender, who created that identity? If that's an inborn trait (and most research says it is) then didn't that come from God, too?

[@G-MIP]

@@joegaylord87You do not sound like you watched the video- especially as to the Brown peer reviewed study. All persons have dignity- but not all behaviors do. Regardless of how someone came to be LGBTQ, the attractions and temptations are not sins in themselves- but acting on them are. A person may have a predisposition, or attraction/lust to adultery- but acting on this is sinful. Potentially Mortally sinful to be exact. Only intimate relationships between one man (biological) and one woman (biological) in a sacramental marriage are accepted by God. Anything else is intrinsically disordered and evil. Yes- God loves everyone but a person who chooses to live outside the Will of God also risks living apart from God for all eternity. That is what he’ll is- freely choosing to live without God for all eternity by choosing your will over His Will. Love is shepherding all people to Heaven… rather than reinforcing their disordered lustful fleshy desires, including taking on the idea you are of the opposite gender when your biology says differently. This is at minimum mental illness- not truth. Peace.

I talk to my grandchildren- Pennsylvania and New Jersey and they have all been taught it is fine that the kids ‘identify’ as they please on any given day. I pray for them and explain that God did not make mistakes. These are tough subjects and difficult to understand.

I believe we should be proud of who we are. I didn't like hearing what you said about there are some people who can't be married because of others. My other cheated on me several times, yet I forgave him and since our divorce, even pray for his soul everyday, I agree that children are exposed to way to much and the basic activities like kick ball in the street, bowling, jump rope, hula hoops, etc, etc , should be involved in children's playtime and keep them away from electronics.

Hope makes room for love in the world. We can all share it, we can all believe in it, even if we are radically different in every other way. We no longer need to fear our differences because we have common ground. We can hope together-therefore, hope liberates us. It frees us from our fear of the other. It opens our eyes to see love all around us. It unites us and breaks our isolation. When we decide to embrace hope-when we choose to make that our goal and our message-we release a flow of energy that cannot be overcome. Hope is a light that darkness can never contain.
