I know that Franciscans are supposed to be itinerant, but this is taking it to the next level! What a crazy week it's been!

Speaking as a Capuchin Franciscan since 1976 and a priest friar since 1983 all I can say is that you are great and are doing great work. I especially related to your closing comments as they mirrored my own experience that all these years later reinforce my Franciscan vocation

[@howardgootkin4216]

As always, I am filled with respect and admiration for you. You are so articulate, so devoted to your calling, so engaging and able to relate to people of different ages and backgrounds. You are very charismatic and it is inspiring that you chose to devote that gift to God.

[@lostinsideministry7467]

You should be so proud of yourself, your work is magnificent and you are truly manifesting God's love. Thank you!

[@johnking5174]

Hi Brother Casey. I am in Derry City in Northern Ireland. I know it is not up to me, but I have a feeling you would be a great guest speaker at one of our novenas held in our Catholic parishes in the city. There is one devoted to Saint Therese of Lisieux, lasting nine days in May in our cathedral and one lasting the nine Sundays leading up to Christmas in our historic Long Tower Church of Saint Columba. Maybe sometime in the future you could make it here and speak to us, I have a feeling your talk would be most welcome.

[@AnestheticsForAna]

Loved this video! Continuing to pray for you Brother Casey!

[@georgyhauersperger]

What a wonderful blessing you are to all of us. God bless you Brother Casey.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

Great job brother Casey - you are an inspiration. God bless you young man - respect!

[@fabienlehenaff2742]

Love the work, brother!

[@kennethhuber3658]

Brother Casey I don't know how you do it! I had to take a nap after just watching this video. I do pray for you.

[@powerliftingcentaur]

I laughed my head off when you doffed your habit and filmed your nap. Casey you are a trip! (as we 70’s folk used to say)

[@carlopadilla591]

Absolutely great Bro.Casey! Praying for you. Greetings from the Philippines!

[@99GAZI]

All I can say is wow. That is a fully packed week. It is good that you always remember to take a break when enough is enough.

[@97ponce]

Bro. Casey, Im in the Philippines and watching almost all your videos.. They are good and exciting. I subscribed.

[@philomenapeterson1790]

Thank you for sharing and for your positive attitude besides all the tiredness. Too long? No! Very interesting and uplifting 👌

[@EthelYap]

Brother Casey, did you almost swear at 0:20? >.< :P hahaha... Bless you for enduring such a gruelling week with a smile on your face and a heart of thanksgiving and praise to God! :) I enjoyed this insightful video :)

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

No, believe it or not. It was just still 6 something in the morning and 17 degrees so my brain wasn't working and I forgot the word for wallet. Haha. I figured it out though!

[@miguel101278]

Hello From Texas !! Love your vidoes !! I can tell you have God's Grace , God bless you in everything you do !!

[@randomart1087]

Thank you for this video. God bless you and Jesus loves you.

[@hollyandstuff5139]

Beautiful video Br Casey!

[@compbinder]

Remembering you in my prayers

[@larryreich8371]

What a blessing it is to serve Christ and his church. I just spent a week at the retreat house in Wappenger Falls at Mt Alvernia. The brothers there OFM were so awesome. What a calling you have received. Prayers always.Br. Larry Walter Reich BSG

[@tesschavit3009]

Hope there are more young men will watch this video and they will encourage to give their life to God and serve Him faithfully.

[@jacobpappachan1594]

Great Job Brother God bless you

[@gaianery]

Today in Mass, we were called to pray for the people that gave their lives to serve God and Christ. At this moment, I prayed for you. As I am reconnecting with my faith, this channel has been important for me to understand the faith and the church, but also to connect with God. I pray that you'll be able to continue this great work and impact many more.

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear that this channel has been helpful to you. If you ever have any questions, let me know!

[@aperez467]

Great job with the editing on this video!

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Andrew Perez Thanks!

[@SheltonDCruz]

really enjoyed this - thanks Brother.

[@fooledman]

Many thanks.

[@newgeorge]

So inspiring!

[@onechosenson]

Loved your video Thanks

[@garycargill2137]

I'm sure had there been something like this when I was young, I would have followed your path brother, the path of Francis. God bless the work.

[@epicstyle4657]

My social anxiety would be off the walls lol

[@ethiopienqueen]

This is truly the result of The Christ in you who is doing all of this. Amazing Life! Holy Life!

[@user-db6el7eb9p]

So true a holy life :)

[@katzap4494]

Really pretty video! The editing was nice, too

[@karenbrenizer6581]

I just found your channel and welcome to Cleveland....hello Fr Bob Stec!!!

[@geralddimmitt1112]

Peace and Good....... Good Brother

[@rufa2968]

Love to listen to you

[@leftyspade]

Very Good stuff!!

[@basilvalente4615]

Another home-run video, Casey! Thanks for ALL your good works, especially for all the good people of God around the world...

[@1DMeJustMe13]

The funniest part: I can't believe that you filmed yourself while napping😂😂😂😂😂

[@sonia_dacosta13]

Its your calling. Amen

[@lizziejohny8730]

brother casey good job Now a days when most of them don't wear their habit u r awesome God bless you

[@jonathanmiller322]

The transitions were great

[@abigailpreiszig141]

We thought you were pretty cool at Padua high school! I really enjoyed listening to you talk!

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Abigail Christine thanks! I enjoyed being there!

[@josephparker646]

I'm glad when I was an Elder\Bishop I never had to wear anything like those. Last time I preached was a youth event and I had youths very interested in learning more. I remember that day I spoke at a college in Menifee, then the youth event at First Baptist Church San Jacinto.

[@Joetheshow445]

this guy is a great monk and also very delightful

[@specialgradetre]

I hope you visit the Solanus Casey Center one day.

[@christinegott3699]

Brother Casey. U r amazing. I declare u a saint 😉😇. Enjoy watching yr videos.

[@tesschavit3009]

God bless you father

[@BrettGarcia]

What a video :0!!! beatiful !!!

[@robertocastillo5583]

I believe so, Fr Casey. I believe so.

[@johnb1345]

Great video! By the way, a future video idea -- addressing the issue of purgatory. Can people avoid it? And is there such a thing as "Purgatory on Earth" (i.e. sufferings here which are a form of purgatory)?

[@jacksontargarios8422]

nice editing!

[@Rachelismynamewahhh]

Great video Brother Casey! I have a question though. I have noticed that there are plenty of priest and religious men who have youtube channels, but little to no nuns or religious women with youtube channels. Do you know of any nuns who have an active youtube channel to recommend? Or is it harder for nuns to have an active social media life on the internet? I love your videos they have been helping me to discern my vocation. God bless you!

[@kimfleury]

One order is the Daughters of St. Paul (a.k.a. the "Media Nuns") -- they're also on instagram, facebook, twitter, and youtube: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6OrY2Rsd6-sa7c

[@Rachelismynamewahhh]

KA Fleury thanks for your reply! I will definitely look them up 👍🙂

[@kakossniper]

Mother Angelica has all her videos uploaded on EWTN

[@Monica63375]

try Sister Miriam James Heidland

[@lizziesplaylists8500]

Rachel M. Hi. I dont know if it helps but im currently a (female) postulant and in the months before joining my community I had a youtube channel called anglicansisterjourney which documented my transition from my normal life to religious life. All the videos i made are still on youtube. Iv been told by my community that perhaps in the future I might be able to make more videos from 'within' religious life. X

[@theclapaolini4322]

You are a REAL FRANCISCAN !!!!!

[@stevenpatrickstone766]

you need to come live in San Diego.

[@michaelstamper5434]

Enjoy your video, brother.

[@dwkrantz1]

So do all friars wear flannel shirts when they're not wearing a habit, or is that an over-generalization?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Doug Krantz haha I’m not sure what you mean... I’m not sure if I even own one, so my guess is no!

[@dwkrantz1]

At 16:50 you meet with the brothers in Cincinnati. Most if not all are wearing plaid, apparently flannel, shirts. I just wondered if it was a thing. Apparently not.

[@elton1981]

I will never complain about doing 3 masses in a weekend again.

[@tonyd287]

Praying for you Father Franciscans Knights of Columbus Support All priests and Brothers and Deacons Kofc And Religious orders of men

[@teachgartv9060]

Br. Casey I am hoping you will visit us here in the Philippines,,,i'm your fan...I subscribed with your channel....

[@bearbus4]

Busy, busy, busy!

[@Merlin07100]

It's like me at a SCV meeting.

[@outaview]

Great video. I too do not know how you do all that you do. I myself felt many times over my life a call of the religious life but always figured I would be kicked out for being a gay man. I am 54 now. starting yet another career of becoming a social worker.

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Hi John, thanks for your comment. It is definitely a sad state that has happened before, but it is not universal. We Franciscans have always recognized a vocation, regardless of one's sexuality.

[@roshnimonteiro2229]

I am so happy to see so many people come to church. Wish every Christian / catholic attend mass. Our churches are dying.

[@Merlin07100]

"Evening came and Morning followed." Just like Genesis 1!! If Jesus had sneakers he would've never went back to sandals. LOL

[@amarachibertilia6020]

5:49. Is that a random woman giving holy communion?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

A "random woman"? It's a designated and trained extraordinary minister of communion.

[@amarachibertilia6020]

Wow! Didn't know we had designated and trained extraordinary ministers of communion in the Catholic church except Priests and reverend sisters. She looked like an ordinary lay person to me especially 'cause of what she was wearing.

[@florian8599]

Evening came and morning followed... Now we know why God "invented" the Seven-Day-Week. LOL!

[@estelitamartin6793]

Great video, I think you need to introduce your videographer please.

[@samyako9701]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@applebottomjeans333]

Do you go to uchicago??

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

No, I go to the Catholic Theological Union.

[@brndnff1232]

God created you to do amazing things! Ephesian 2:10, you are an image of Lord Jesus!! Pray for me and my son Father!!

[@redstar8689]

👍👍👍

[@Steve-zy6rf]

i hopefully god calling me for religious or priesthood because i really interested about the story saint Francis of asissi heeheh

[@johncharnock6872]

My goodness, you have piled on the pounds...Friar Tuck!

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

John Charnock huh?

[@helenabara2092]

God bless you Br. Casey.

[@marlenenovelli5087]

Hi Br Casey! Are you is a celebrety?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Marlene Novelli Haha hardly!

[@barryharlan5199]

Even though it was a wonderful week for you and those whom you got to meet/evangelize, I bet there were a few moments when you might have wished that Christ had called you to the Benedictine life of stability. I know I would be thinking that at times.

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Barry Harlan some might think that, but not me! It was crazy, but I’m also never happier than when I’m in these situations. This is what I’m called to do!

[@barryharlan5199]

Most surely. I thank you for taking on the challenge of the ministry to which you have been called. For myself, I have felt more of a pull to a more contemplative lifestyle.

[@francis1961]

This is not the true Catolic Church.

[@tommasyao2546]

Hello Brother Casey. I want to offer my talent and help you with your mission. Could I shoot you an e-mail and tell you what I could offer in detail?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Why don't you message me on Facebook: facebook.com/CaseyOFM

[@betrue225]

For reals, if you're a catholic, Christians like that Jesus loves you no matter what

[@0warlock00]

Why don't you stop showing off and keep learning gospel ?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Giorgi Germanozashvili what do you mean by “showing off?”

[@0warlock00]

Taking so much not serious videos about your activities. Would St. Francis do the same? Would he make an advertisment of himself instead of the Church?

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

Oh, well I'm sorry that you see what I'm doing as about me. That's really unfortunate, because it is not my intention. Everything I do is to promote Christ and his Church. Maybe the problem is that you simply prefer "serious" videos, as you say. Videos like this are an important part of my ministry, not because they are about me, but because they help reveal part of the life I live, the joy of being in the Church, and to get people excited about faith. Not everything has to be serious in presentation to accomplish some serious things. Sometimes a fun video does more to help someone's faith because it helps them trust someone in the Church or inspires them to want to learn more.

[@ndolilehaule1158]

I think he is evangelise

[@whitewolf1298]

Would St. Francis make videos about himself? A little too much ego, sorry.

[@BreakingInTheHabit]

I'm sorry that you find this egotistical, but I think St. Francis would evangelize in the popular means of the day. Don't you? Just because I'm the subject telling the story doesn't make something egotistical.
