Has anyone heard the MASS taught in such a exceptionally profound manner! Thank you Father ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulcapaccio9905]

Every church should show this

[@lm1275]

I always wanted to know what the mass was really about. Amazing Priest, we need more like him. He's with Jesus now and I bet he's telling him what a good job he did.

[@paulcapaccio9905]

@@lm1275 wonderful comment you made 🙏 the Holy Mass is everything !

[@jolindo6724]

Fr Mark you earned your place in heaven today....4 weeks ago when you did this sermon, you did not know how close it was....in your 12 years as a priest you worked hard to save souls and bring the lost sheep home.... good snd faithful servant...Rest in Peace

I’m 73 yrs old & I have never heard anything so profound as I listened to Fr. Mark’s homily. It was electric! I didn’t know half of what was taught to us in Catholic school. Fr Mark, I praise u & thank you for this eye opening lesson. I was sooo ashamed & was in tears at the end of Fr. Mark’s homily. He has brought me closer to Our Lord & now he is gloriously in God’s arms. I wish I had known Fr. Mark sooner. RIP my friend🙏🇺🇸❤️

[@judyspindel592]

Thank you Fr Mark great homily. You helped me learn some more about the mass. RIP beloved shepherd Mark.

[@lorettagallegos3377]

This is what I seek in the church today. Sadly the mass is not what it should be. So sad to see so many undiscipline people attending mass and the priests telling jokes and the choir so loud with music that should be somewhere out of the church. God Bless you Father Mark, rest in peace.

[@angelaholmes8397]

He spoke like a saint! I have no doubt that Jesus opened those gates with a huge smile and a "well done my good and faithful servant." May He rest in peace!

[@annaluisa379]

Every Catholic needs to hear this

[@jellybelly7629]

This is the reason it is a privilege to be called to be Catholic and most cradle catholics don’t even realize it. When we take in the the Eucharist our hearts beat in unison and and His blood courses through our veins!! God bless🕊💜🕊

[@CL-im9lk]

I’m a cradle Catholic and went to Catholic school up to college and didn’t learn all this. There is so much symbolism at mass that I didn’t know. Thank you Fr Beard. May your soul Rest In Peace,

[@kathleenhamilton7608]

When a dear loved one passes away, we say God had His reason for taking him. I dare to say that one of the reasons why God called his faithful son, was because his preaching had to be shared and heard.❤

[@carolwalley5558]

So true!!!!

[@marsnerok]

I listened to one of his homilies earlier this week, and it really struck me. He preaches in a way that educates and enlightens. Truly eye-opening! It wasn't until today that I learned he had departed this earth! 😢

[@fionamoody1432]

I am of the same thought. Gods will being done through Fr Mark, HIS faithful and obedient servant. . He was Gods vessel..there is no denying that. There are certain people that Goď puts on this earth just for a specific purpose and once that has been fulfilled, God takes them home. In Fr Marks case, i really believe this has taken place.

[@74the_magpie]

I seem to note that the best are being taken by the enemy, his time is short. Maybe ?

[@AnaClaudia-zr7zk]

I agree! I just found his preachings after his death!

[@jeanniecoyle8490]

WOW ! You never cease to amaze me with your teachings . Truly God is working through you . Thank you for your persistence to save our souls . God Bless you .

[@rosannerossi6376]

I just found Fr. Mark, because of the news, of his death. Certainly this fits: John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

This was awesome! I’m a cradle Catholic and was moved to tears, especially when you talked about your stuttering and the fact that the only time you don’t is when you are proclaiming His Word! Praise God🙏

[@suemccann2183]

Thank you God for blessing us with this holy man of truth. I think it is ironic that because of the tragic loss of Father Mark, I am compelled to follow him & listen to his powerful homilies. I never even knew of him until I heard of his passing. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Rest in God’s heaven peace dear Father Mark & m ay our ears & eyes be open to the truth you so beautifully proclaim🙏✝️💜

Powerful! If only more Priests were as passionate about preaching the gospel as he was the church's wouldn't be as empty as they are now across America. I.came across his homily 's by chance only after hearing of his tragic passing. Rest in peace Father Mark Beard.

[@jamesv2471]

Father Mark. This homily struck my heart in a way that I have never experienced before. Your words at the end have marked me for life. I feel I failed as a parent because my older children have lost their faith. I will do better with my younger ones, and will pray hard to have my older children come back to the faith. May you rest in peace, in the presence of the True Loving God, now and forever. Amen 🙏🏼

[@edwinlaverty4020]

I just saw on the internet yesterday Fr. Mark's homily on " The Fence". Never heard of him before. Just after viewing it, I saw that it was his last homily. I, then, was so moved, I started to listen to past KZbin homilies. What a gift! Then, as I listened to this awesome one on the Eucharist, I was blown away. I've come to the conclusion that like St. Therese of Lisieux, he will do more good from Heaven than on earth as folks take in his homilies. Thank you, Fr.Mark.
