As an autistic Protestant converting to Catholicism, you hit on the biggest draw for me: the liturgy involves all my senses, along with my body, in the worship of Jesus. I smell the incense, I see the colors and host, I hear the bells and priest’s words, I say the prayers, and I feel my body move as I kneel and stand. Praise be to God for His Holy Church!

[@PeterJRaia]

Beautifully said. You have so much to teach us "Cradle Catholics", as I hope you feel led to do. Welcome home!

[@PaulineTarife]

Welcome home

[@blindknitter]

Have you found the autistic priest's videos on here? Do a Google search with those terms, he's lovely.

My mother passed away when I was 10 and she was 42. But before she was married, she portrayed Our Lady in a Christmas Pageant for many, many years I was told. I hope in heaven maybe I can see even one Presentation re-enacted.. I don't think I'll have to wait too, too long, as I'm 80 years old this year! 🙂 God bless and love everybody.😊🙏🕊️👑😇

[@amberknemett1165]

Love to you.❤

[@nancyc.8176]

What a beautiful everlasting memory of your mother that has brought her closer to you FOR DECADES. What a precious gift she and God blessed you with.

[@PockASqueeno]

I’m a Protestant, primarily but not exclusively because I don’t believe in papal supremacy, but one of the things I love and respect about Catholicism is liturgical worship. With few exceptions, Protestant churches don’t understand the power of this form of worship, preferring only music and preaching. My church has a candlelight Good Friday service and advent service, but that’s about it. I’ve never even heard of a Palm Sunday service. It sounds powerful.

[@alexandercain5338]

Peace to you, brother! Have you ever considered the Orthodox Catholic (aka Eastern Orthodox) Church? We too have the ancient, deep and beautiful forms of worship, but no Pope 😊

[@hairqueen1183]

Love this! Tomorrow I will be confirmed in the church! From Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday to Good Friday. I have never been more moved! I’m so excited to officially become Catholic! I finally feel Im Home in my faith!!

[@paulapareja3089]

Welcome home!

[@mikehickey2572]

This is, without a doubt, the most impactful video I have ever watched on KZbin. Thank you, Father.

[@stuartjones3001]

Agreed ❤

[@rayneweber5904]

You haven't seen the video of people jumping from the twin towers on 9/11, I assume.

[@nancyc.8176]

I totally agree with you!!! I woke up today to this impactful enriched message from this very young Friar that I was still blessed to discover a few months ago. I feel that his words were truly God's Words!

[@patriciareeves3030]

I am a Baptist Christian. I find this homely very inspirational! ❤❤❤

[@user-qw5hl9nt8b]

Me too.

[@lukebrown5395]

Mass is supposed to be transformative. When we walk in we are worshipping with all the angels and saints. It’s why we sing Holy, Holy, Holy, and Gloria. It’s also why the church isn’t a stay a sinner type of church. It constantly calls us to repentance and reconciliation with God.

[@lfcpr]

Father Casey, I am so delighted and raptured since I "found" your channel last month. I am a parishioner at Saint Francis of Assisi's Church here in São Paulo, Brazil. I have been hearing all your past videos in my way to and from my early morning daily Masses. You are so inspiring. We too are lucky to have several young franciscan friars just as inspired as you. God's work no doubt. May you all have a blessed and happy Easter celebration. All the Peace and all the Good to everyone.

[@mollyjames9534]

Happy Easter my brother.

[@BlackFeather713]

Today I confessed and went to TLM in a FSSP parish; the priest was very kind, he even gifted me a book for my children and helped me follow Mass. It was in the offering of my time, my sadness, my contrition, and by praying silently alongside the priest that I really felt fulfilled during that mass. I am grateful I am welcomed in God's arms. To offer ourselves as living sacrifices - that's a profound mystical experience.

[@meme-sb7vr]

There is no feeling better or more comforting than the one you get after a complete and good confession.

[@lyndavonkanel8603]

Dear Fr. Casey, pardon me, isn't it the Eucharist rather than the liturgy that is " the source and summit of our faith"?

[@RPlavo]

I try to do that too, but in English

[@pattyamato8758]

That's meaningful and would be even more so without the acronyms. What is TLM? What is FSSP?

[@BlackFeather713]

@@pattyamato8758 TLM: The latin mass FSSP: priestly fraternity of st-Peter (Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri; FSSP); FSSP is a brotherhood that offers mass in latin, in the pre-Vatican II rite, without being heretic or schismatic. They are very traditionalist, and very kind and welcoming.

[@kibawhitefang7176]

Should be called Holy Friday, just like in Spanish. I don’t need to excuse myself to non-believers.

[@JenniMeer]

I got confirmed at Easter Vigil this year!! So happy and proud to be Catholic!! 🥹

[@ameasureoffreedom]

Thank you. I’m exploring Catholicism and I’m in a season of feeling a disconnect between the spirit-filled Catholics I know, and what I see when I attend mass. This video helps a little ❤

[@patrickmelling8404]

Go to a good traditional rite and all of what Fr Casey is telling you, is embedded in that right. A lot of people flock to it for its spirituality and graces.

[@xrisc131]

I am grateful to God that He moved you to offer this message.

[@alphacause]

Thank you Father Casey for so eloquently conveying the reality of liturgy, and how it should resonate in our daily lives.

[@DoctorDewgong]

this is why I LOVE when churches utilize the traditional elements of the mass. The first time I experienced them, it took me beyond "understanding" the purpose of the mass, and instead truly BELIEVING the purpose of the mass. Great video, Fr Casey

[@jerseyboyz2265]

I am Russian orthodox and don’t celebrate Easter on the same day but it is amazing seeing what my Catholic friends do for holy week

[@grecopena]

Amen! Thank Father Casey. Praying for you and all the Friars and religious proclaiming and living the gospel of Jesus the Christ. 🙏🏼

[@gmacch]

This is a fantastic video, and a much needed homily. Thank you, Father.

[@nancyc.8176]

Thank you young Friar for always calling us here together and making us feel closer to God, always raising us. It's going to be a great day for me. Amen

[@josetierra100]

There are many priests out there who have to remember to not only celebrate Mass but to live

[@normarossi8843]

The very best sermon you have ever preached. TY

[@bolivarpc86]

THIS.... WAS SO POWERFUL... THANK YOU FATHER!!!

[@arelycruz9517]

AMEN!!! Wow, thank God I saw this right now. Thank you for putting this out so we can all be prepared for the day of RESURRECTION!!!

A definite gift of clarity, this video is!! Thank you Fr Casey!!!🙏😇🙏❤️ Holy Trinity we love & thank you for Holy Liturgy & all the Sacraments & all those walking with you & those yet to come!!!❤️🙏🙏🙏

Had to click immediately, because that's our bishop in the thumbnail!!

[@alondra5867]

Beautiful video Father Casey! Thank you for taking time out of your life to teach us about the love of God and Holy Week. Thank you for helping us prepare for his death and resurrection, Long Live Christ. ❤

[@ucheuju9348]

Fist time I am watching a newly-released video by Fr. Casey. God bless you, Padre🙏🏼

[@maishayangu9216]

Thank you Fr. Casey! Your teachings are always on point and bring clarity to a seeking heart.

[@wranglerboi]

I have never viewed the Mass as a spectator sport. If all we do is go because "we're supposed to" or because we feel we've "done our duty" for the week, then we have missed the very reason the Mass exists--to remind us of the great gift God has given through his son--our very salvation. And that can come best for us if we truly immerse ourselves in the liturgy--and become one with it. When we say the Lord's prayer, it should be heartfelt. When we receive the host, we should feel Jesus' actual presence. When we say we're not worthy of his entering our house, we should feel the joy that he willingly enters freely--and gladly--into our daily lives. In short. if going to Mass is anything less than joining with Jesus in the sacrifice he suffered for us, then we have truly missed the point of it all.

[@kogho5362]

Hello I would like to let you know father that you have done more good to me than you could probably imagine, Thank you.

[@angelosusa4258]

Thank you Father Casey! Growing deeper in my faith and have anxieties keep me in your prayers! Live in the faith is huge and feel like most don’t do it. Don’t just go through the motions. Have a Blessed Easter!

Beautifully said, Father Casey. Very inspiring. Gave me a lot to think about!

[@rayreece2617]

Thank you Bishop Casey....your videos are starting to cause me to consider returning to the faith I left 20 years ago.

[@kragar4]

It will be very different than when you left. You are in a different place on your journey, more mature and more open. Please just come

[@elaines5750]

I have to say that Father Casey's videos are a large part of why I returned to Mass after a 25 year hiatus.

[@rayreece2617]

Did anyone notice that I elevated him to Bishop? Actually I would love to call him Cardinal Casey someday

[@manewland1]

Thanks as always, Fr. Casey!

[@FromAcrossTheDesert]

This is by far one of your best videos. ...bringing the source and the summit of the whole Christian life into focus. Much thanks. Love (as Jesus loved) FromAcrossTheDesert

[@yobgodababua1862]

Happy Easter Father Casey! I hope this Holy Week brings you the introspection and call to action you require at this time.

[@ptrcnns1405]

Thank you Fr Casey for this inspirational video.

[@ChristopherUjang]

This is, by far, your most powerful video, Fr. Casey. I'm a non-Catholic Christian, raised in a mainly charismatic evangelical family, but even from a young age I was drawn to the liturgy, albeit Anglican. No one understood why or how I could worship or even experience (feel) God through the liturgy, but deep inside, I know that God is truly present regardless of whether we feel Him or not. So while I don't forsee myself becoming a Roman Catholic Christian in the future, I will still view all forms and rites of the liturgy as sacred and a call for us as Christians to live our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Thank you, Fr. Casey.

[@cheraybisaya]

Thank you Father, God Bless you more & your ministry!

[@Jacquiandteddy]

Great video - and really helpful. Thank you

[@ShortBeakBudapest]

Father Casey, I found your videos by accident. I am very happy that you are young and are very content. I did not become a Franciscan priest. I am a Franciscan brother. Br Mike. I do listen to your explanations which are right on. You are very realist. St Francis lived the gospel. “When all else fails, use words.” Live the gospel. I will pray for for your mission to continue.

Palm sunday is my favourite liturgy. It makes me feel part of it all, as if we are walking again throu Jerusalem giving praise to Chist, and every year I feel the dread of knowing what happened after.

Fr. Casey: you're probably too you to have had the chance to see the Passion Play that was performed in an outdoor amphitheater for 70 years in Spearfish, SD. It was magnificent. It brought the passion to life.

[@janierodriguez3017]

Thank you, Father. This was great. You explained it very well. Thank you for your vocation to serve God.

[@leamarie6039]

Thank you Fr Casey. This is a wonderful reminder of how our hearts should be this lent. I am truthfully distracted and living in a place where handful of people remembers the event of Jesus Passion, it is difficult. However, I am still inspired knowing that at this time, my fellow Christians and I come together discussing about our sacrifice and what we do during lent. It is still beautiful. Thank you for this video, God Blesa You always Fr Casey, you and your ministry.

[@rawsheen5774]

Thank you so much for creating this video. I’m looking forward to going to mass and living life now with this knowledge. It’s not Just remembering, it’s recognising and doing now. Thanks a million !

[@craigjohnson178]

Very Good Words.. I am in 110% agreement with you on your thoughts. Taking our experience and understanding in church and practicing/using what we have learned into the world. Living out our faith, it's only then that our faith takes on a New and better understanding of our faith. Amen 🙏

A church i used to belong to did a 'living nativity' each year; People came from all over to see it. It was a drive through and ran for 3 evenings Christmas week and the line of cars never stopped. We even had live animals that parishioners brought from home to take part in it. (I live in farm community)

Thank you fr. Casey, yes we will not just attend the mass but live it. Also, priests need to preach with the Holy spirit fire and conviction

[@deepseablu91]

Amazing video!!!! ❤✝️

[@drewaskins8377]

Very good video Father. Active participation in Mass is extremely important. The members of the congregation are a living part of the service. That's why the worst thing that the choir can do is sing for the congregation, instead of leading the church in song. The people who come to mass are not an audience, they are participants.

[@cinnamondan4984]

There is a very powerful live nativity sense at the end of the film States of Grace. Great film by an awesome director.
