I've got 4 little ones and wait until I put them to bed, then do my prayers. ❤️

[@paisley293]

Jodi: do you say a little prayer by their bedside? They will get used to you praying beside them. I used to make a sign of the Cross on their forehead, and pray 'May Jesus bless you and give you holy dreams.'

[@jeffkeenan5059]

You have the authority to bless them like priests bless us. Your husband has the authority to bless you and your children. I think I learned that from Fr. Ripperger . You are protecting them with your blessing.

Prayer is the key 🔑 to salvation. Prayer and penances and perseverance until the end. I'm a stay at home Catholic because of the invalid ordination post Vatican 2. Sancta Maria ora pro nobis.

G'day to you all from Australia. How universal would our Catholic worship be if all Catholics could pray in a common language. Praying in Latin does this. I pray we may return to Tradition Latin Mass. The Mass if the ages and of the saints. What a dream. Imagine all the people praying together in Latin?

[@melmckenna4599]

Amen! The tridentine Mass is the most beautiful thing this side of heaven! If only Rome would return to the traditions of Holy Mother Church.

If possible, there might be the FSSPX, the Most Holy Trinity seminary priest from Reading, Pennsylvania, USA, , the Sons of the Holy Redeemer [F.S.s.R.] from Papa Stronsay Island, Hebrudes, Scotland, U.K. God bless you all.

I can listen to this every week as a touch up! This just made such an impact on me. Thank you father Anthony!!!!!🤗🙏 Finally, I'm getting somewhere.

[@tinakathleen8571]

Videos such as this makes the use of technology worthy. My favourite movie about St.Bernadette and the messages from our Lady of Lourdes whom called on us when she called out "Penance,Penance, Penance!!" Been reflecting what exactly does this entail am I really performing acts of penance and what is penance? Straight up this talk speaks clearly about the importance of penance to grow closer to God not justvto appease God. Unite ourselves to the standing Christ and to swell within us the longing disposition to atone for all the sins as a victim as Christ Jesus did. Be part of saving the world by being Christ crucified. Accept our suffering as a victim just as Jesus did. Praying for all to make of 2023 the beat self sacrificing lantern practises this lent. God Bless and Mother Mary pray for us to unite woth her son in his acceptance as a victim to appease his Father of our many sins.

Hard core truth

[@lukasandisaaktime9147]

I am a devout Catholic and Geriatric NP. When Friar Anthony discussed about death I recalled being around death since age 18 when I began working as a home health aide for 7 yrs in Hospice. Later as a RN I couldn't count how many people I had to prepare for the mourge with a death kit. I have always been around death and dying and believe it is very important to remember everyday - it could be your last. We never think it is going to come, but it always does. We must be in grace, as Frair teaches. God Bless to all.....

Thank you Fr ,your sermon spoke to me ,it's given me something purposeful with structure ,having something to work with really helps me to stay focused and true to my purpose.If you have faith and are a practising Catholic your sometimes viewed as an oddity either that or your largely ignored so it's difficult to progress without some form of support .I hope you will be giving more talks.on prayer ,contemplative and otherwise .I talk to God Jesus Our Lady and my guardian angel as I go through the day and to be quite honest I don't know what I would do without them ,my trust is in them totally .🙏

Wonderful and powerful. Something comes to mind, maybe God speaking. The prodigal son!...he reduced to a pig! In the filth ..in his sin and eating the fruit of his sin. Yet having intellect not being a beast wills his good and awakes and removes himself from the filth...sin and turns back to his Father, back to God, hope, and joy. Healed by the embrace of God the father

I think you need to elaborate on the part about planning. Planning is not opposed to Divine Providence. Clearly not all planning is bad, such as the planning you did for this talk. The trick is to make plans but to not be too attached to our plans when God decides to change them.

[@Mike_and_Ike-xb3io]

Fra Anthony is correct. The more I attempt contemplative prayer, the more unholy I believe I am. Not unworthy, but unholy. I don’t believe holiness is something you’ll ever know you’ve reached. The sins of my past are countless, and every one of them is spitting on Christ Jesus as he hangs from the cross. Every moment of in contemplating, I see myself from above and see all my flaws. BTW - Fra Anthony sounds like he has a Philly accent?

[@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829]

You meant to say Psalm 51 "The Miserere: Prayer of Repentance" -- Psalm 50 is "The Acceptable Sacrifice."

[@marilynBgood]

In the Douay it is Psalm 50

[@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829]

@@marilynBgood OH! OK. I do have that version of the Bible but should have compared it.

[@marcvalade94]

The Creation is God's Will, not just the Bible nor the Church. Men are made frugivorous gardening monkeys. They depend on mutual mercy to achieve any goal, therefore, their first priority is to preach compassion to our brothers, so that they don't become the many cruel obstacles in the way to our objectives. God wanted us first in the animal flesh. It is His most high desire at this given moment. The Eucharist is a frugivorous meal. It was proclaimed to be the meal of the redemption of cruelty by Jesus. We are frugivorous gardening monkeys and it is the core subject of the Bible. No point in asking for people not to sin when at every meal we prove it to be unthinkable to not be cruel. Life in the flesh is a divine wonder. We need to bow down to it.

Advertisements are like promptings of the soul. God prompts us to good actions and the world/flesh/devil to evil temptations. Like advertisements, these promptings are uniquely suited to us. The more we 'click' on one the more things like it we get. This can be for good and/or evil! Let us be diligent in short holy ejaculatory prayers throughout the day and conversation with God, our guardian angels and saints and we will get more good 'advertisements' and less bad in our spiritual life! Also, it is not sinful to see a bad advertisement unless we relish it in our heart or 'click' on it. Don't 'click' on bad promptings but 'click' on good spiritual promptings!
