For those interested in a simple Eastern prayer rule. Here is what I use. The prayer rule of St. Pachomius --> stnektariosroc.org/2014/07/a-simple-rule-of-prayer-ascribed-to-st-pachomius-and-to-st-seraphim-of-sarov/

@tony Sir, I already am one. Thanks.

Matt Fradd is just Catholic Joe Rogan. And I love it.

[@CanisDei]

But Joe Rogan can't be a non-catholic Matt Fradd. Matt wins.

[@nathanalex6880]

I’m not a Catholic but I’m a literal non-denominational Christian who is fascinated by the Catholic tradition. One thought that came to me by the Grace of God was that while you all were discussing the differences between your roles (Dominican vs lay) is that it’s just another testament that the Church is truly the body of Christ. Each believer has his/her role that is uniquely challenged but also given proportional grace to serve in each own’s vocation. Great food for thought.

[@karinagbarros6301]

God bless you !

[@bradleymcdonald6273]

It doesn't matter if you were baptized in a presbyterian church, a pentecostal church or a Catholic church... What matters is being baptized in Christ It doesn't matter if you were raised presbyterian, pentecostal or catholic... What matters is being raised with Christ "God forbid that I should boast except in the (R)cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [b]whom the world has been crucified to me, and (S)I to the world. 15 For (T)in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. Blessing and a Plea 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. 17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."

[@bradleymcdonald6273]

I have Christian Friends who would not like to know that I am watching this video because they are "pentecostal" and can't listen to other Brothers and Sisters in the body of Christ... Because they are another denomination It's sad

[@RumorHazi]

Wonderful!! I would just keep my mind completely open to where God wishes to lead you. Grab a copy of The Catholic Church and Conversion by G.K. Chesterton. It is a great read and provides unique insights from a fellow sojourner towards Catholicism.

[@David-dh8tq]

"Holyness is a secret between you and God." "A particular shape. It's your shape." Fr Pine's Domenican clarity is awesome.

[@ingarrajoey]

This priest knows what he's talking about!

"The grace of God gives you both the power and the imagination to do the things you are called to do." - Fr. Gregory Pine Beautiful.

[@POPS417]

As I stunble my way back to God and the Church I find these discussions invaluable and am singularly impressed by Father Gregory's ability to articulate the faith. Thank you both.

[@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy]

What an intelligent man, fr. Gregory Pine.

[@anthonytoujours9182]

This friar gives to us that dominican clarity we need. It's like a refreshing cold shower. The deeper the question the better the answer. Thank you for this show.

[@AlejandroGarcia-ek3uy]

I love these two men, they are lovely.

[@bedheadbutterfly]

Honestly so convicting when I didn't expect to feel convicted.

[@jakubpodesva5033]

Jordan Peterson has many meaningful insights, would be nice to get him on the podcast one day when he's recovered from his health struggles.

[@paxcoder]

My friend, I don't think so. We need God's Wisdom which is spiritual, not the world's which is temporal.

[@jakubpodesva5033]

@@paxcoder True but I always thought God shares it also through people, at least that's why I'm watching this channel.

[@jjorgecuevass]

paxcoder Wisdom is Wisdom. Whether it’s from a homeless man on the street or a preacher from his pulpit. Wisdom is truth. Truth is of God.

[@paxcoder]

@@jakubpodesva5033 Yes, but spiritual people. People who live in grace. A cultural Christian can share but cultural Christianity. And the Wisdom we require goes way beyond that.

[@paxcoder]

@@jjorgecuevass 1 Cor 1 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach[b] to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Moreover: 1 Cor 3 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 So let no one boast in men. To this I would add the whole Ps 146, but especially: 3Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. 4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. 5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; 7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. And if your heart wants to know more about true Wisdom you have the Word. I recommend heeding the book of Sirach which teaches that fear of God is the _root,_ the _beginning,_ the _crown_ and _completion_ of wisdom. And reading James 3:13-18 Querría escribir aún más. Mi hermano, te exorto que lees el resto lo que dice el Señor a travez su apostól san Pablo en 1 Corintios (y que dice en otras partes de la Sagrada Escritura en el futuro próximo). Hay más de sabiduría en este libro (1 Corintios) pero también de las cosas importantes para tu alma. Cuando lo lees recuerde, llamado, que toda la Palabra es inspirada divinamente (2 Timoteo 3:16) y por este razón debe ser obedecida. Que te bendiga el Señor a travez de la lectura y que te da el Paz verdadero a travez del cambio de la corazon (cotidiano) y de sus sacramentos. La Paz existe sólo en él quen es el Príncipe de la Paz. Que ambos tengamos solo un Señor (Mateo 6:24), una fé, y una Iglesia que es el Cuerpo místico de Cristo (Efesios 4:4-6) y que nos puede distribuir Su perdón en la Confesión (John 20:19-23, pida por más si te interesa) y Su Cuerpo verdadero (y su Divinidad, porque son en una unión hipostática) en Eucarístia (1 Corintios 11:23-32)

[@MrFossil367ab45gfyth]

I usually pray in he morning. But I do talk to God throughout the day and sometimes while I'm laying in bed before I go to sleep.

[@marianweigh6411]

Thank you Fr Pine and Mr Fradd for all your work spreading God's word and will into the world.

[@marietheresa7866]

Thank you❤🌹🙏❤🌹🙏🌹🙏 Two wonderful folks nourishing our souls. You both are literally feeding HIS lambs and HIS sheep. This Dominican friar is as refreshing and modest as possible, despite his profound knowledge of Facts that truly matter to every fellow Catholic across the planet. BRAVO !!!!

[@csapienza001]

Glory to Jesus Christ!

[@sleepintheirashes]

Fantastic and simple explanation for getting a rhythm and rule for life, especially as a lay person. Thanks Matt!

[@mervin.michael]

thanks

[@ItsEllis113]

Great video God blesz

[@magaman6353]

And ensure you have a good commentary as you read the Bible.

[@kimichan5]

I have such a pet peeve when the host talks over or interrupts the guests. It is so cringe, it’s like just let him talk 😩 that’s why the guest is there, to give them space to talk and say stuff the host hasn’t thought of.

[@gisole98]

"no, cause you suck" 😂
