[@beingfrank40]

Thank God for this Servant of God, we need every kind of priest to relate to as many people as possible. Jesus's message of hope is needed now more than ever!

[@MrsMarybiz]

How wonderfully refreshing to listen and laugh but to be reminded that we are born into a royal Family. We are destined for great things. Our suffering in this world as the Church Militant will prayerfully bring us, one day, into the Church Triumphant. May God bless this beautiful priest and his mentees abundantly. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@amandawoods847]

Felt a very different kind of joy watching this. A black American Priest? It's the first I've watched. We've always seen black Americans to be Protestants. Thank our Blessed Lady.

[@Meira750]

The boys brought tears to my eyes. I love that they call themselves Knights.

[@lisalynne5984]

Fr. Tony NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! Every time he comes to the Religious Education Congress in Anaheim, CA the whole arena is packed and some are standing on the hallways. He brings his boys with him and they create a raucous when he enters the arena. You can’t help but join in the fun!!😂 His talks are hilarious and amazing but are ALWAYS ON POINT. Hope to see him next year at the RE Congress. Fr. Tony, may God bless you today and always.✝️😇♥️🙏🏼

[@malcolmmeer9761]

No one has even an 8nkling of how much I needed to hear this. Thank you so much for answering GODS call

[@museluvr]

That cassock is stunning. I became Catholic 2 years ago, and having grown up seeing priests on TV or in films (not properly represented), I always loved what they wore. First time my parish' main vicar came in wearing one, I just sat there and thought 'wow, I'm doing this, I'm Catholic... praise be to God and to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!'. Fr Ricard would be an excellent speaker for the young.

[@gwhiz1459]

He teaches all-black-all-boy Catholic school in NOLA. Influences youth 24/7.

[@marylenkarsted4725]

Many thanks to Holy Cross Ministries in Fresno, CA for bringing Fr. Tony Ricard to the annual Marian Conference. He was a huge hit with 200 adults and 500 youth! Please come back, Fr. Ricard!

[@theresawojnar8099]

These boys are so filled with joy, they’re really enjoying worshipping God. It’s Fr. Tony’s influence for sure. ✝️🙏🏻♥️

[@zz11111]

With so much bad news of late this priest brings GOOD NEWS. God bless! Love from Asia .

[@Therese-1001]

I’m a convert who came into the faith at the International Shrine of St. Jude in New Orleans and Fr. Tony often preached the St. Jude novena. He was a blessing then as he is now. He’s a treasure. He also spoke at the catechetical conference of the archdiocese of Miami. The room they reserved was too small!!!😀 Those young men touched my heart and can we talk about the pianist’s skills!😊

[@judysandalis8411]

Awesome God Bless Father Tony🙏

[@anita-qq9iw]

I was so uplifted seeing all those young men singing, great stuff - thanks Fr.

[@EternalNourishments]

This was grand great talk with a great priest ever hard on this planet earth, I reckon and I wish all priests might be like him ! Viva Cristo Rey !

[@warriorqueen863]

That's awesome... We need priests like you who can empower the youth to become better version of themselves.... We need priests like you who are dedicated to their oath.. Thank you for empowering these young men to become great men with fear of the Lord in their hearts...

[@margaretcecilia4208]

First time listening to you...F. Ricard. Thank you so much for setting such an inspiring message for us on the 'crown'. Praying for my son who is 32 years old and living an outrageous, sacrilegious and life of indifference involved in alcoholism. Thank you for working with an all black students and bringing Christ to them. They really have that smile. Thank you again. Will share with others in my country of Malaysia.

But, when our kids are connected to God through a Priest like Fr. Ricard , you better believe Greatness will happen , and is coming !! Just like the singing in the video. It doesn’t end there , it happens for us Adults as well . Fr. Ricard is an all age, all people Priest Reviving Reacher Preacher !! 😅. Love it !!! Love Fr. Ricard !! Thank You God for Fr. Ricard .

A most wonderful program🙏God is certainly proud of the message this extraordinary man delivers❣️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lindaGplaylist]

Awesome. I wonder if we are able to see that the charism of the priesthood is so important now more than ever. Our Lady of Fatima and at other Marian apparitions stressed the need for praying for priests . I feel that the Vatican II Council was beautiful but was redirected in an incorrect way by stressing too much on the laity and their greater participation in the active. And the Bishops were also directing this . But the priests were in a way not stressed too much.

[@heathervancalcar4446]

And, here I thought, I was the only weirdo that thought about Death this way. Even when I was younger I didn't quite understand why we were sad at Funerals.... I mean.. they are going to Heaven? What's do be sad about that? Now I do understand missing people close to you. But... They don't want to come back LOL.. So instead I'm looking forward to when God calls me and I'm there too. To me... Death is not an event... It's a doorway. I also believe that our Loved ones are Not the Ones asleep... I think we are the ones still sleeping. I think they are more awake then ever before. They know everything!.. They know the truths of God and all the millions of questions. Usually the answer is God anyways lol. So, in my mind...I rejoice that those I love that have past. Are now in Heaven.. Hopefully praying for me so I can get there too! In fact when I die.. I want people to rejoice as well and have a party! I don't need a crown... but I do need God, and I want to be with Him.

[@jenniebarsalou7359]

We are happy that our loved ones go heaven, but remember there is a time to mourn, even Jesus mourned with Martha.

19:20 - minor point of contention, but no Monarch of Britain can be Catholic or married to a Catholic since 1689 and remains in force to this day. Sad - no wonder it always rains in England.

[@deborahschopperth9782]

Father, you are amazing and a blessing to the Catholic faith. Father, can you pray for me? I have an autoimmune disease called CIDP. It attacks the coating of the nerves. It is so painful and the fatigue is debilitating. I have broken many bones from falls. I have Consecrated myself to Our Lady. I pray the rosary every night and many litanies. I feel with you on my side, you can win graces for me from Mary, and She can talk to Her Son, Jesus. SALVE MARIA AMEN HALLELUJAH 🙏
