[@totallyrandom1013]

Absolutely 🔥! All truth! No fluff here! Thank you Father. God bless you and God bless all who listen and believe

[@MsHelene2009]

Perfect speech to grow in holliness.

[@lifewiththelarins]

6:46 made me chuckle because that was my exact breakfast today, here in the Philippines! Praise God who provides for our needs everyday!😊

[@MrsNiz1]

We need to have an attitude of gratitude for the blessings we have, and extend that grace we have been given to others.

[@louellaj.holguin2676]

Love these sermons. Thank you

"Preach the Gospel, use words when necessary." Saint Francis

[@channelmoved9096]

Historians don't have any evidence he ever said this. What they have is numerous letters from Francis to bishops asking if a friar can stand in the town square in their diocese preaching. They used quite a lot of words.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

This blew me away.

[@joset8907]

Amen thank you🙏✝️

[@worthwhilediscussion]

Amen.

[@matthewalexander2436]

God rewards those now, who He can't reward in eternity. Woe to the rich, for your consolation is now. I've experienced first hand what effect wealth has on family members. Jesus described the soul on their deathbed, when they cannot lie to themselves, and reality really sets in. It ain't a pretty picture. It's either or folks.

[@shilakamrani4680]

Beautiful homily 🙏

[@longfellow7312]

And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

[@silviaibarra6771]

Sounds like Steve left his mic on ;)

[@GravInducedSleepTrac]

Fr. thanks for your sermon. However, I think you tend to judge Traditional Catholics too harshly & inaccurately. I've found the beauty of the Trident Mass in the past two years & have found it to be the MOST REVERENT & RESPECTFUL mass that FOCUSES ON OUR LORD & MAKES HIM CENTER OF THE CELEBRATION. I was a novas ordo mass attender & have found it to LACK that same REVERENCE & RESPECT THAT IS DESERVING OF OUR LORD"S TRUE PRESENCE IN THE EUCHARIST. You are JUDGING Traditionalist unfairly. 🙏🙏🙏

[@loriw.9653]

They are a Traditionalist Order.

[@PeteLubeck]

They are very, very traditionalist.

[@Mike_and_Ike-xb3io]

He’s not judging anyone, but speaking on how we live in the world. One is not virtuous because they consider themselves “traditional”. Whatever mass you attend, be reverent. You cannot control what others do, so pray for the irreverence at mass.

[@Michael-vf2mw]

What's the basis for the tradition that St. Joseph didn't charge for his work?

[@Crabby_Camper]

Bro. The mystics said so. Didn't you listen?

[@Michael-vf2mw]

@@Crabby_Camper Nope, never talked to these mystics. Can you elaborate on what they said? Can't actually tell if you're being sarcastic or not.🤔

[@Recusant_]

I guess these kind of sermons are confusing because there is no concrete examples of what to do and how much money is too much. Even poor people in America are way more affluent than other people in third world countries

[@PeteLubeck]

It's more to do with your interior disposition, your attachment to worldly things.

[@timrohr4214]

But the scolding tone.

[@Crabby_Camper]

Ahhh. Grow a pair

[@AresFiloso]

I think some of these videos should be vetted for theological errors, there are lots of videos on this channel about avarice with concrete meaningful(and reasonable) examples, this priest telling families with children that they should live "poorly" is probably awful advice, voluntary poverty for a religious person might be commendable but it does not suite a family just like celibacy would not suite a family. I think this only serves to confuse people who are trying to do this right thing. Affluence when used properly is a blessing for a family, ie. the ability to keep the mother home to raise the children vs sending them to public schools. Also this defies logic, if everyone was poor who would everyone be begging from? Fr Ripperger says your possessions should reflect your state in life, if you are a businessman who owns multiple businesses that employ lots of people and their livelihood depends on your businesses doing well and by extension you business acumen, the way you present yourself is important, you should not be wearing rags and driving around in a rusty old car, that would be false humility. Also I don't believe the church has ever taught that poverty on its own is something that should be desired for its own sake, from RERUM NOVARUM, ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII, ON CAPITAL AND LABOR: 28.28. Neither must it be supposed that the solicitude of the Church is so preoccupied with the spiritual concerns of her children as to neglect their temporal and earthly interests. Her desire is that the poor, for example, should rise above poverty and wretchedness, and better their condition in life; and for this she makes a strong endeavor. By the fact that she calls men to virtue and forms them to its practice she promotes this in no slight degree. Christian morality, when adequately and completely practiced, leads of itself to temporal prosperity, for it merits the blessing of that God who is the source of all blessings; it powerfully restrains the greed of possession and the thirst for pleasure-twin plagues, which too often make a man who is void of self-restraint miserable in the midst of abundance;(23) it makes men supply for the lack of means through economy, teaching them to be content with frugal living, and further, keeping them out of the reach of those vices which devour not small incomes merely, but large fortunes, and dissipate many a goodly inheritance.

[@nephinae5524]

Where does that affluence come from? If its truly hard earned money then thats great but if its through taking advantage of the housing crisis and climbing your way through others struggles in the social class pyramid then I find that disgusting. We have a pyramid for a reason and those who are at the bottom of the pyramid the poor working class are working for their masters on the middle and top of the pyramid. So much that majority vaccinated for this in fear not lose their possessions. You either for the money or for God.

[@TJS483]

Interesting points. I wonder how father knows how much St Joseph charged for his services. I don’t see any invoices in Scripture.

[@zbrown72]

This guy needs to be carful not to offend God, having much is not a sin!
