St Therese on How to Love God (Without a Dramatic Testimony) | LITTLE BY LITTLE | Fr Columba Jordan

[@charliec2627]

Through God's graces I was able to travel and do a pilgrimage to Lisieux in Oct 2022, and was able to go to the Basilica dedicated to her and see her relics and remains! God is good!

[@Gap733]

I often ask for the Grace to love Jesus as Mother Mary does, and to love my neighbor as Jesus does... sometimes it is very hard.

[@kingofthorns203]

I watched the 2004 film Therese recently and can't recommend it highly enough. A statue of her watches over me at my desk. I'm starting Story of a Soul this afternoon. I love St. Therese!

[@WilsonAcres]

So beautiful. St Therese of the child Jesus, pray for us! Thank you, Father. I have a pivotal memory of a time where I did something that I care not to recount in specifics, but in God's mercy and grace I was completely spared from every repercussion that was due to me from that incident. His mercy does in fact carry me in ways I am unaware of, and it is by grace that any of us are not immediately in the pit by our own doing.

[@pilsendood]

I simply do not have the same problem that St. Therese had. I"m more a magdalenista in gratitude.

[@pattyoconnor2183]

I heard a good, good man say what a wretched soul he was. He had been saved and changed through Our Lord's grace and he knew that. I am that wretched soul also, having committed so many sins myself. When I hear this I realize how many I have been preserved from.

Jesus, hear my prayers these past three years have been difficult on me I am weak. Give me guidance. Please come back soon I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. As a single parent things are hard on me both of my sons are autistic and my hours to work are limited because I’m now homeschooling them. I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for them I’m so ashamed. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus I’m overwhelmed. Father God hear my prayers. I constantly struggle to pay my bills and struggle to provide groceries. BUT I KEEP FAITH. Even though I want to give up. Jesus please take the fear from my heart. Father God it is you that gives me the strength to keep going. I praise you Father even as I fear homelessness please continue to give me strength.

@TiffMiller1234 Hang on dear sister, hang on. God is with you. He will never leave you. I prayed for you and know you will see His blessing multiplying in you life and in that of your sons.. The bible verse that came to mind for you is Lk 6:28..."Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”

[@tessajowett6973]

Be strong. All of this will pass and you will come fighting on the other side. Hope life gets easier. God help you my friend ❤

PRAYING FOR YOU. YOU WILL BE FINE xx

[@abeatingheart]

Father Columba Jordan, thank you for this video. I have contemplated the same thoughts that St.Therese had about loving Jesus without having been forgiven for a big sin. And as I reflect on my past, I can see His love preserving me from so many things. Having been homeless and coming out of it without falling into an addiction; having been protected from people who might have wanted to harm me while I was walking the streets during the COVID shutdown; having been preserved from toxic places and people. There are so many examples that I can give, I now see how much He loves me. Thank you, Father Columba, for this great insight.

[@MRTHUDTV]

Thanks Father that was fun :)

[@ts-hvutdchujn98]

Thank you so much. May God and all the saints keep you all your days and night. Blessings and more blessings. Your joy and deep devotion and humorous honesty are refreshing and a joy to listen to. I keep coming back to your talks because they help me to feel better and keep my own fires of faith going. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️✨

"What can i do, i am only one person?" Said 8 billion people on the planet today. Remember people, God plus one is an ARMY! Thank you Father...

[@frankreading5110]

BRILLIANT FR COLUMBA, AWESOME. I PRAY YOU CONTINUE TO EVANGELISE US. GOD BLESS x

[@44esta44]

🎉 Father that talk was a winner! There was something very freeing in that for me. Thank you!

[@ctmcatholic]

So glad!

[@raphael7688]

Thank you so much Father Columba Jordan for this video it really touched me, God bless you and have a nice day.

Jesus I love you with all my floppy will heart. I’m trying. Such a realistic prayer. Thank you Fr Colomba

[@egjaniccy]

❤ hihi, increadible. Such a beautiful, full of fire heart. St Therese pray for us

[@lonniestoute8762]

Amazing teaching , I learned this when I was in prison. I looked down on those who's crimes were sicker than mine. One day God showed me that for some reason ( education, family, environment) or the grace of God , I didn't let my vices go as far as others but I have the capability to be just like the ones I looked down upon. 🤔 We all have the Deadly Sins to one degree or another. Ever since then I have really been sensitive to those struggling with things I don't struggle with.

[@CC-cr1oz]

Thank you Fr Columba for a beautiful message about St. Therese. Your gesture makes me laugh sometimes

[@majanezic8896]

Mother Theresa on a bulldozer... 2nd favourite!

[@karenrolt7201]

Fr. I appreciate your humor!

[@maryfischer8568]

It makes me so happy to hear your teachings Father!

[@carolynspringerholder6967]

Thank you, Father for this message.

[@airinmccanntaireachd]

Fr Columba is a Saint without knowing it :.0)

[@JoeCisneros]

So I've been jogging daily and I'm not sure when I started doing the Rosary, but I started asking for Saints to pray for my wife and our marriage and my children. I didn't know much about Saint Therese, but I started seeing references to her regularly.. more recently, I've been seeing references to lilies and roses. I also have a connection to Saint Anthony of Padua.

[@patricklevesque5790]

I like your floppy will father. God is definitely using it to encourages others like me

[@aenigmatica8]

Wow Mother Theresa was sharp!!! 😊 Great video!!

[@TizzyLisch]

Father, can you please let us know whether the Franciscan Friars in Nicaragua are okay? I am praying for their safety 🙏 Any update would be most appreciated.

[@diadhuit]

Let's pray and fast for them

[@ks7343]

1000 yeses to God each day; St Therese pray for me. Fr Columba, I'll pray for you and your floppy will! thank you for that image--so helpful!

[@mariac4602]

I never heard this about St Therese. So beautiful how our Blessed Mother helps all her children love her Son, each one according to their needs.

[@faethdanu219]

Powerful. Truly! This 'clicked' something in place that I once tried to understand. Thank you!

[@ctmcatholic]

That is so great to hear, Praise God!

[@mdjbusiness]

Wow, that is amazing insight. Isn’t by far the most iron will God’s holy will? Can anyone stand in its way? Enjoy His peace. Shalom Father

[@pjorge8363]

Beloved Father, have you considered the videos for secondary schools RE at all? The Children need your style of Catechism. Please can you show this to your superior who will be given direction from the Holy Spirit 🌹

[@ctmcatholic]

We hope to be able to make that kind of structured content one day. Please God we’ll be able to raise enough funds to do so. We have a series for university students coming out in the next few months.

[@kategosnell8210]

@@ctmcatholic We will pray for a tsunami of 'cheerful givers' in Jesus name 🌹 and I will contribute on pay day Fr + Lyssa

[@anthonyw2931]

Mother Theresa in a bulldozer😂😅😂. I think Fr. Columbo has an impressive will as well.

[@ginakendrick2581]

Ps I was told we can’t love God unless we have the grace. So many people also look at the crucifix and start crying but me I got nothing Father nothing comes out from anywhere no feelings and I feel so bad about that

[@anastafford2145]

Hi father how we can contact you?

[@leoncaruthers]

If only God's interposing grace is the only thing preserving us from sins, why not all? And if it's only that, how do we have free will at all?

[@ladyj3474]

I am sorry Father this is confusing where you mention Mary Magdalene and a few moments after, not sure how this applied to St Therese who lived a completely different life.

[@limoncellosmith7594]

His point is the similarity between being forgiven of sins and being preserved from sin. I’d suggest you watch it again.

no offence to babies...
