I can attest to the fact that Monsignor Shea's students at the University of Mary are most definitely NOT a wreck (21:00) once they have participated in the love and passion Monsignor Shea has for our Lord Jesus Christ and His very presence in the Holy Eucharist. Transformational conversion miracles are regularly occurring on that campus. Thanks be to God.

[@araceliguertin4260]

Thought provoking..and inspiring for change.. the realization is that we need God. We need him so much! More than ever 😢

So grateful to have found this talk by Msgr. Shea! God just wants us to try, try, and try again, as many times as it takes---to never give up.

Holy Spirit Come! We need all of our government leaders to hear this talk and pray they would be moved by the Holy Spirit - to start doing what is right and best for the people they are to serve (and ultimately to serve God!). Most of them worry more about getting (re)elected than to do God’s will in their positions of power. Let’s pray for our leaders to get to know God so they can do His Will! Look at a Lincoln penny, and reflect on the ugliness of the Civil War during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, and meditate on the inscription on that lowly one cent coin - In God We Trust!!! These words happen to be there and on every US currency because it was the last official act that Lincoln signed into law (March 3, 1865) before he was assassinated (April 14, 1865). On March 30, 1863 he called on Congress to declare a day of fasting and prayer because the country, with all its wealth and power, had become self-sufficient and forgotten God! Let’s wake up our leaders with our sincere prayers for them to know, serve, love and trust God! 🙏🏻

[@antheakwaw605]

This is powerful! Descriptive, emotional, gut wrenching to listen to the first parts, but oh boy! The joy and the waves of happiness that rushed over me when you delivered the end bit of our salvation in Jesus Christ, Mon Seignor... Knowing that there's comfort and joy in Christ Jesus, knowing as long as we don't give up we will always win is the best news ever! We need to pray for ourselves, our youth especially! God bless us all!

Isaiah 14 is speaking of the king of tyre, how god had set him to rule the kingdom and he's pride and he's arrogance consumes him, thinking that he is a god, and how God will destroy him, this man misconstrues the scriptures.

[@notyou9743]

“Thus, the October 13, 1962 act of rebellion to open the Council paved the way for a complete overturning of much of what most Catholics before Vatican II would have known as the immutable Faith. We know that the Catholic Church was already under attack by Freemasonry, Liberalism, and Modernism in 1917, but most ordinary Catholics would have known that they needed to believe and practice the immutable Catholic Faith if they wanted to save their souls. As such, they would have seen the events of October 13, 1962 and October 13, 2024 described below as ominous signs of the apostasy at the top of the Church apparently foretold by the Third Secret of Fatima.”
