Thank you for your clear Christian messages.

Thank you so much for this!

This short talk made so many things clear to me and showed me that my “way” was more Herod than Magi. Thank you Father for this……it has helped me so very, very much.

So true. Sometimes I feel guilty of "sins" I have done, so I think should not to go to Church but then I also think Jesus wants me to go to Church and to receive communion regardless of the bad things I did for the week or for the day. I'm going anyway and present to him myself with my anxieties, brokeness, and goodness just as I am.

WHAT A VOICE

[@christopherflemister8424]

Asking for prayers for Cursillos

[@luciagarcia7685]

This is the best message I have ever heard of how to come to Jesus!

[@malcolmvakalis9310]

Excellent commentary, Father.

[@LL-bl8hd]

Beautiful talk. I tend to get concerned with feeling like I need to read the Bible every day, say a full rosary, and do other things. And then feel guilty when I don't. Not that any of those things are bad. But this talk reminded me of what's really essential.

Very helpful for us scrupulous. We’re always wondering if something is a sin, mortal vs venial, and discerning vocations like it’s a maze with dire consequences if you get confused and make a wrong turn. Let us approach Him with simplicity!

Hi Fr! Is it possible for you to upload these as podcasts too? I tried to look up this as a podcast and I see you have on episode on Apple Podcasts. Would love to listen to content like this in the car. Thanks and God Bless! (And please pray for me as I discern with the Dominican order 😅)

[@catholictheology]

Let us praise Almighty God, the birth and rising of his Messiah of Israel as a Divine Spirit is just about to take place, an enormous blessing and salvation for those souls aligned with him and a curse and condemnation for those who are not.😄😁😅

[@HoraktyHeru]

The cotton test with which the Spirit of the Messiah of Israel is going to scan religious beliefs does not deceive, if the beliefs manage to stand it means they are true, if they collapse it means they are false.😄

Our Lord says (excerpts from Maria Valtorta's Poem of Man-God, Vol. 4, p. 349): "I see that you are all upset. That must not happen to you. Agitation upsets peace. Peace must be always with you. God is Peace. If you are faithful to God, He will be with you. And if He is with you, of what can you be afraid (Roman 8:31)? And what can separate you from God, if you do not get into situation, whereby you may lose Him? Sin only separates from God. But the rest, temptations, persecutions, death, not even death separates you from God (Roman 8:35, 38-39)! On the contrary, they join one more to God, because every temptation, which is overcome, raises man by one step towards Heaven; because persecutions achieve for you double protecting love of God, and the death of a saint or a martyr is but union with the Lord God."

That book was on the Index of Forbidden Books and as recently as 1992 was required to include a statement specifying it is not of supernatural origin. I am not certain that is the best book to be taking spiritual wisdom from. Use caution and prudence and discern very carefully.

You had me in agreement until you said that Herod didn’t find the Lord because of complexities… I’m sorry, father that’s complex diplomatic language. Herod wasn’t looking for the Lord to be saved. He was looking for a threat to his kingdom and then when he couldn’t find the exact baby, he decided he would massacre a whole ton of them. I don’t think you should put a spin on it just to make your point which was a good point until you got to that moment at least for me
