Wednesday, 13th week in ordinary time - Amos 5

[@mariaanadacosta1409]

Just heard you, Fr. I love the way you went about...verse by verse..stopping to relate it to our lives and practices. Must have been quite a strain on you to keep talking for so long. I appreciate the effort, Fr. Very grateful to you. I'm enjoying learning the Prophets from you. You are an anointed priest. I praise God for you.

[@hazeldalmeida292]

Thank Father. I could not listen to the complete video yesterday as I had to attend an exercise class. However, today I decided not to attend the class and listen to your entire teaching. I am glad that I did. I feel very convicted about how Lukewarm I am about my religion. God keeps calling me and condemning through good people like you, my sister Heather and of course God himself I really need to get my act together and have a closer relationship with my God. Thank you so much Father for taking time to explain Scriptures to us. God bless you and your ministry.

[@claudettenariman5926]

Dear Fr Warner, your teaching today was like a good book - unputdownable! God's heart was broken because his people refused to repent & they had to be crushed. - God is not speaking heartlessly.....the verses though full of warning are also filled with great love for his children. As Christians, we often turn a blind eye to the suffering of others, prioritising prayer & church over service. God doesn't want our sacrifices & offerings, but to be just & righteous towards each other. Thank you Fr - enjoyed your talk. God bless & keep you well. 🙏 💞

[@anitamartis4964]

Thank you Fr. Warner for enlightening us with the in-depth teaching of today's scripture and its application needed in our everyday lives. God bless you 🙏 Some of the old testament scriptures are difficult to understand but Your way of teaching makes it so easy to understand. Thank you Fr. Warner for your hard work and efforts 🙏

[@angelaaranha5696]

thank you Fr Warner I am sure that I and many others too, are getting to know the heart of our God through your teaching and through the words of prophet Amos.. an amazing and loving God, loving us inspite of our sinful ways wanting us to seek Him, to come back to Him fully, by doing what is right and just in His sight. is eyes

[@louisaharimohan4375]

Very interesting and easy to understand teaching. Thank you very much Fr. Warner. God bless you always.

[@eleanorrodrigues3672]

So many teachings for us. Thank you Father for this wonderful explanation and how you coincide them all with us. God bless you Father

[@jenniferdsilva2186]

Very beautiful teaching today at this age of mine Father I really understood the Prophet Amos so well 🙏 you dear Father it is correct today everything is outward show but no inward grace

[@maxineweber109]

Thank you Father Warner. I learn so much from you. God bless you.

[@bastiandias1805]

Thank you father for your teaching I'm learning alot from it God bless you

[@michellealmeida1]

A fiery teaching today dear Fr Warner. Reminds us not to take God for granted. We need to seek and build our relationship with Him first before taking our offerings to Him. God is merciful but that doesn't mean we take undue advantage of His mercy. We need to give God His rightful place in our lives ie He should be given priority n all our decisions. Thanks once again Fr. for yr detailed teaching and for the personal study and efforts you put in. God bless.

[@jeanprabhu174]

I greatly appreciate your marvellous teaching ….a great need ,to teach us and elucidate with such great clarity the books of the Bible. May God bless you for all the trouble you take and effort you put in to bring these words of the Old Testament for us to know and understand.

[@annettedesouza761]

Very true.. many things are going in the parishes.. they think no body like them..,two faces in one 🪙 coin.... Thanks for your Holy teachings and reflection ✝️🤍 dear Rev Fr.✝️God bless you abundantly with Love and happiness always 🤍

[@bettybayross4048]

Thank you,Fr, for your input on prophet Amos. It increased my understanding of him as I teach the prophets in Sunday school.

[@joeycecoutinho7421]

That was a very powerful preaching Fr. I thank Jesus for your ministry and may HE keep you in good health always. 🙏🙏

[@carmelinefernandes1448]

Thank you Father for this powerful gospel reflection. I appreciate your teaching and your courage to speak out for our us and people who show off. This was so heart touching and difficult teaching, but you did so well. God bless you and keep you always safe 🙏. Thank you again 😊

[@redcombo]

Thank you for bringing out so many topics in relation to this teaching. So many whispers, so little courage to face the absurdity of our actions and behaviors. God Bless us all.

[@dellalobo5032]

Amen 🙏...I thank God for you 🙏 A powerful n inspirational teaching indeed.

[@melaniegonsalves6140]

Thank you Father. Your taking the scriptures verse by verse helps me understand what God wants of me. Please look after your health so you can help me understand The Word of the Lord more and more. God bless you Father.

[@anniedias4728]

Thank you Fr for simplifying the teachings.... learnt a lot today. God bless you

[@DollyDuarte-w5f]

Thanks so much Father Warner for helping us to understand the book of Amos. You explain so well. God bless you abundantly

[@mariabothello9022]

What a fiery talk , my heart is the temple of God , if I have so many ill feelings and hurts yet i go for daily mass , my heart needs to be burnt down by God's fury , every morning I ask God first to bring a change in me ,but some of my kin make me think against them ,I ask God to help me let go ,😢 But I think father you are so true in ur words ,you may have very few friends among the priests ,bishops but they may be genuine as you don't leave anyone I feel

[@juliearanha8679]

Fr. This may be the longest but it's been the most beautiful teaching for me and I'm sure for many others. You taught with so much conviction and I'm certain God has himself anointed you for this ministry even whilst on sabbatical. Knowing our God is truly more important than knowing our religion and claiming to be Christians. Thru this teaching I can feel the heart wrenching pain that God experiences every time we choose evil over good. How immense and great is His love for us. I wonder if we will ever ever fathom that. Keep up the great work you are doing in moulding is in shepherding His flock. God bless you always🙏

[@elitereng]

Thank you Fr. Warner. I'm Allan from Malaysia and I've been following your teaching since the pandemic. I like your bluntness and how you don't mince your words. There are times that your teaching hit me hard like today. I know there's much more for me to do than just acquiring knowledge. So thanks again Fr. Warner. 🙏

[@pottypadre]

God bless you ans thank you for writing in

[@lindabotelho1087]

Thanks a million for going through Amos - Chapter 5 and explaining every verse , so well as you have referred to the present situation in case with the condition of the Israelites I have gone through all the verses and underlined the important points of reference.. I have to go through the verses thrice as the contents have to be assimilated I appreciate the trouble you have taken to explain each and every verse. God bless you for taking the Whole Chapter.Amoa 5: 1-26 May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire and guide you Fr.Warner God bless you and protect you always 🙏 Fr.Warner 🎉

[@lizcasper4479]

Thank you Fr. Your talk resonated with me, as I’m currently dealing with a few issues in the parish. And I have taken up the matter with the PP, Superior and the Provincial. Your talk gives me strength to move forward, with my cause to ensure justice to my parish. God bless you Fr Warner.

[@leenajoseph9828]

Father today's teaching was excelent

[@srchrissan]

Fr.. I resonate with your teaching and your call to be honest, sincere and to stand for truth n justice... Yet, it's really hard n painful, it often isolates one in societies, communities that seemingly seeks to 'give the best interpretation' to actions that are even clearly wrong.. So, Fr. Please keep us in prayer for courage to stand at times alone with God Alone. Pax.

[@augustineblaize4875]

Fantastic Teaching! Thanks much Fr. Warner Peace! 🌻😇🇦🇬🙏🏿

[@irenefernandes6651]

Praise and Glory to God, Rev.Fr.Warner your teachings are spiritful, easy to understand and look forward to the next teaching every day. I don't like reading and enjoy listening. So your teachings are good for me. Nevertheless, I am praying that I start reading the Bible...that's on my top of the list and prayer intention daily. Thank you and God bless....I am writing from Toronto, Ontario

[@pottypadre]

Thank you Irene and Toronto has many happy memories for me

[@rufinamoraes6231]

Thanks dear Fr for this well prepared and presented verse by verse explanation of chapter 5 of the book of Amos. Each verse tells what are the things God doesn't want us to do. The reasons for God's anger and why Israel was destroyed. God bless you for all the pains you take to compile these teachings.

[@vineetaduarte5468]

beautiful teaching , Fr. deep and powerful Ty for your time as an animator in my parish, I see that much of this is true - all activity - little substance After hearing this teaching, I pray I have the courage to make, however little, some change also, listening in, today I realise how much I need to follow our Faith seriously - and not just superficially and ritualistically God Bless 🙏🏽

[@sharonfernandes4296]

Thank you Fr. Though I don't comment, I hear your teachings daily. They are so wholesome and give us an in depth knowledge of the Word of G.od. We understand better. Thanks. God bless you for the effort you put in.

[@pottypadre]

Your thoughts may touch some one else’s life

[@beenajoseph5364]

Thank you Fr Warnerfor sharing the Divine insights on Pr Amos.I would easily have missed that if it wasn't for your detailed explanations.God is using you to touch so many cold n lukewarm hearts. With prayers for your good health n success in your ministry .

[@arathirao3677]

This is Arathi from Bengaluru. Thank you very much Fr. Warner for explaining today's Word

[@pottypadre]

Most welcome

[@fatimacolaco1928]

Deeply touched Fr. , by your "plain speaking" as you teach us ,verse by verse, the texts of Amos , the prophet of "social justice" ...which the world is now more than ever in need of . v 21 onwards takes one back to your other powerful commentary on pure discipleship in Prophet Micah ch 6 v 8 ..do justice, love kindness , walk humbly with your God ...forsaking all external and material offerings ...for a deep , active relationship of love of God and our fellow human beings . Thank you for all the effort , energy and enthusiasm that you invest in your teachings to deepen our knowledge of Holy Scripture and help us to live our Faith more meaningfully.

[@pottypadre]

Thank you for your encouragement

[@kishoremartis2483]

[@bonniefernandes4895]

Fr. What you say is very true. There is no on just ,prudent or truthful today. This is well expressed in 2 Timothy 4:3-5. May God bless you and keep you safe.

[@luvsheen]

Fr. Warner you always speak with depth insight. I have read this chapter but never got the through message what God wanted to convey to us. You have made it easy for us all. Thank you always for breaking up each verse and explaining. Thank you so much for always taking out your precious and spiritual time to teach us everything about Bible and God. May Jesus always keep you and your family in good health. We pray for more teachers like you so that this world would become a better place. Hugs and peace to you. From Hyderabad, Telnagana (India)

Fr. your teachings reveals very clearly The Nature and Heart of God The Father and how we ought to be in relation to Him.. being crystal clear in our mind towards Him and His Will.. thank you Fr.

[@morgancrasto1712]

I suddenly felt a shiver down my spine today on hearing your interpretation of the reading, and reflecting on our "Catholic" world of today.....We are exactly and I repeat, exactly, no different from the people of The Book of Kings.....having our own False Gods of "convenience"....and trying to be hep and modern, by accomodating all religions and cultures, some of the practices of which, are in stark contrast to the beliefs and truths which Our Lord has taught and instructed us.....Father, you are a combination of all the angry and not-so-angry prophets put together in 1 package, and I'm so enamoured by your zeal in trying to bring us all in line.....God bless you Father for your tiresome effort in bringing all of us wretches to the good side of a "Few good men". may God have mercy on all of us.

[@renukacardoza3865]

Thank you, Fr Warner, for your wonderful insights into this chapter of Prohpet Amos. I heard it twice and once with my Bible and it was like being transported into that time. Everything seemed so clear and understandable. Thank you for painstakingly and patiently preparing the Word of God for us. May God bless you always.

Fr question for u - v r made in the image of God, then y is it so easy to do evil than good... Goodness shud be our second nature, yet it's so easy to do bad than good

[@pottypadre]

Freedom is also a gift from God. He made us free to chose as he says in scripture - good or evil. If we did not have freedom We would have been determinate
