Are You Getting Signs From God? | The Catholic Talk Show

[@rmader1997]

I am old and disabled. I don't get to mass very often. My kids don't want to take me. I was watching a Catholic Video. And I was crying and apologizing to Jesus about not getting the Eucharist and not making it to Mass very often. As I set crying , all of a sudden I could smell incense. The very same incense that used to be used in a High Mass as the Priest made his entrance and walked down the Isle to the altar. It lasted for about 10 seconds. I hope it was Jesus saying he understood.

[@marciaderoussel4009]

@@rmader1997 I believe God understands. You could call your church and ask them to have someone bring you communion at home. I know in our churches there are people who bring the Eucharist to the home bound. I’m sure they would understand. Prayers for you. 🙏🙏🙏💕

[@faithwisdom788]

You could try calling up a local catholic church and ask if there's someone that's willing to pick you up on Sunday to take you to Mass.

[@dee2251]

God excuses you if you’re ill, old or disabled. I’ve had the smell of incense too and yes I believe it’s a sign. Are you able to watch mass on KZbin? Many do it and there are Eucharistic ministers who will bring Holy Communion to the elderly or sick. Perhaps the priest could visit you too.

[@therese6447]

It could be God wanting you to recieve communion...you can call your parish and arrange for a priest to come out and give you confession and the Eucharist...after a certain age if you are homebound then the priest can come out to you and give you communion and allow you to watch mass on TV on Sundays. He can even give you anointing of the sick you don't have to be on your deathbed for it...better do it now while you are in your right mind to do confession.

[@gailkarrer6041]

I have had the same experience for years---smelling incense, receiving blessings and even seeing angels through internet Masses. Thank you, Jesus!

[@marciaderoussel4009]

Good evening. I decided this past spring/summer that now that I’m getting up in age and have no immediate family members to plan a funeral for me if I should die, I better do something about it now. I decided what to do about my will, my living will and my own funeral. I was very anxious about the whole process. I prayed and asked God to guide me through the process, because having to make these decisions, though necessary, are not something that I looked forward to doing. I think it’s because I became painfully aware that my remaining years are getting short. I had never thought about that before. Although I never asked for signs, I began to find single rosebuds on the ground every so often. It seemed as though every time a certain task was completed, I found another rosebud in the oddest places. It was as though God was telling me, I was making the right decisions. I found a total of 8 rosebuds. It has been 7 months since I completed the whole process and I haven’t found another one since. 🙌

You can add in your will a designated amount of money for your mass intentions. For example state $1000 towards masses for your intention. Or whatever you want to help with prayers.

[@suzykaletta2989]

I believe as long as your heart is in a good place and you are kind to others God will always be with you. Don’t worry to look for the sign it will appear for you soon. It’s always when you least expect it, I believe our intentions never go unnoticed. It must be a beautiful experience to see such reassuring signs. Prayers and love for you and your journey, may the Virgin Mary help guide you on your path💛

[@susand3668]

Maybe you should look into getting to know St Therese of Lisieux better, since she is famous for sending roses?

[@marciaderoussel4009]

Hearing Fr Mac offering mass for DMX is the highlight of my day.

[@shawnreynolds2705]

The Harry Hodini part reminded me of a family story. My two uncles were rabid Cub fans. They made a pact that whoever died first would come back and visit the other. Well, Uncle Ralph died. He actually came back to visit Uncle Fred. Fred asked "Is Wrigley Field in Heaven?" Ralph said "Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is there is Wrigley Field in heaven, and it is beautiful. The bad news is you are schedualed to pitch on Saturday."

Can you please offer up a mass for my father Peter Gatas who has passed on June 6th 2024. He was a good man, went to mass daily. Was an amazing father and husband. Thank you for this Catholic talk show.

[@Jackie-ow9pt]

Hi Ryan, Ryan, and Father Mac. Greetings from Georgia. The last time I had a discernible message from the Lord it led me to helping a family every Monday. It has been a very uplifting experience.

[@cf3129]

I have a passage from scripture that’s my code with God. When I see it, I know He’s speaking to me.

[@jenniferrinaldi8808]

This video randomly showed up and it was exactly at the time I needed. As far as signs with loved ones, I had one thing happen that I could not explain. I was very close to my grandfather and was heartbroken when he died. He had wanted to sing professionally and we joked he could have been another Dean Martin. The song Pennies from Heaven was a favorite. A week after he died, I was at our mall with my parents. We were on the top floor and a person would have to use a lift to reach the ceiling. As we were walking, something dropped just past my nose. A penny dropped from above me and it landed on the floor in front of me. My parents and I were shocked. Was it necessarily related to my grandfather? No. How a penny dropped from that ceiling though cannot be explained. Either way, we will keep praying for him.

[@susanbeal4322]

Thank you for the discussion… first time I have seen your video on u tube. I haven’t really thought too much about signs and feel rather” iffy” about them. I think one of the most important things I heard is from Father Mac… is treating what others say / believe with reverence and thus kindness. For me I don’t discern signs per se….. I just try to pray for guidance … for stepping stones … along the journey…to help me get closer to God. However, I sometimes look back and think with that choice or that occurred in my life which opened up an opportunity to be more kind, more patient ….to learn understanding at a deeper level and learn compassion for others….. I think when one is in conflict the most calming and insightful avenue is not to request a visible sign but to drop your knees and pray the rosary for spiritual guidance and stepping stones . If that is interpreted to be “signs” by some folks … so be it.

[@lindaarias9698]

My last sign was on October 2, 2023 before the war of Israel. GOD have mercy on the world.

[@candacebailey7357]

Is Fr Rich ok? Is he coming back? Why no information?

Great question!!!

[@michellenowak1592]

Will Father Rich be returning? It's been awhile now. We sure do miss him. Would you please give a reply . Good Bless

Miss Father Rich, hope he and his family are well.

Thanks

Thank you guys. I'll continue looking for and trusting God through His signs.

[@shannonbrooks5735]

Great episode! Thanks guys.

[@gerrirajski7769]

I really enjoy your show

[@KevinHall-ux9hn]

First let me say that we are not human beings experiencing a spiritual journey, but we are spiritual being experiencing a human journey. Second - let me add that my latest book: SIGNS - The Veil is Thinner Than We Imagine specifically calls out several ways we receive signs. From dreams, through nature encounters, through numbers, through visions, and through voice, etc. And as always through his hand/voice within the Bible. I have interviewed some very interesting people for my book, and I tell their story, as well as my own. Stories of how SIGNS have impacted our lives. I also include information from experts, current and those that have passed, and I try to show that though there may be coincidence, there are certain things (SIGNS) that cannot be any other than messages from beyond the Veil.

[@antonioflores7917]

What a good video thank you 🙏

[@YaneMarieSleppy]

34:39 That's so beautiful!! When Pelé passed away, my dad, who is clergy, added Edson Arantes do Nascimento's name to the Mass intentions. One person recognized it and thanked my dad. 🩵 Famous people have souls, too, and need our prayers.

[@marytataryn5144]

"Hey, God spoke to you, but not to me!" this sort of way of God speaking through others is something we need humility to achieve. When God speaks to us, we have to understand first, "But I am a worm, and not a man." first. (Ps 22) Check scriptures, listen to what others are saying....we need to confirm first as we discern. The evil one is waiting for his moment to jump in and mess things up. You will remember it. It will stick in your head for days.

Luke 11:29 " This is an evil generation; they seek a sign be given..."

[@Rubicon1776]

Context Summary. Luke 11:29-32 returns to Jewish religious leaders' continued failure to accept the evidence that Jesus is working with God, not Satan. Some had claimed Jesus cast out demons through Satan's power, a claim Jesus proved ridiculous (Luke 11:14-20). Now some demand more miraculous proofs.

People are waiting for a sign a sign that will be permanent in the sky or in some other way a sign that will say God is here and is real, well a sign has been given, many signs and more to come, it’s mentioned in scripture who ever has ears to hear or eyes to see, Mathew 13:16-17 so not all will be ready, you just have to look and listen to realize, we have been given a permanent sign, I hear from our LORD amen

One morning when I’m still in last Vegas I saw His face in my living room wall. I’m now back in the Philippines. I took picture of his picture (face) until now it’s in my cp.

[@javileezk]

I'm confused. This doesn't seem like a sign given by God for people to use; it feels more like God being born amidst human suffering.

[@MC-qb1jg]

I know God speaks to use. I don't believe in signs. I also don't believe we can speak to our dead loved ones.

Some had claimed Jesus cast out demons through Satan's power, a claim Jesus proved ridiculous (Luke 11:14-20). Now some demand more miraculous proofs. What does Matthew 16:4 mean? | BibleRef.com He calls the people evil and adulterous for wanting more and more evidence that He is the Messiah. They are evil in their refusal to believe the obvious truth. Jesus uses the metaphor for spiritual unfaithfulness from the Old Testament, adultery, which God so often used for Israel's worship of false gods
