hello father !! i truly agree and enjoyed your thoughts on halloween !! for me, i combine halloween with my all souls devotion for an "on and off" 2 to 3 day session of thoughtfulness, if you will, of remembering those that have passed, both from my immediate family, lifetime friends and those i see along the way that are less fortunate than me. i keep a small spiral notebook, chest-pocket sized, with any and all names of people to pray for throughout the "regular" year and use it for this all souls time period as well. i also employ a devotional candle going during that time, too, as i have a hard time with the entire halloween "thing". as you say, we accept what others do and respect their choice on that day. also, i notice the style of lettering on your shirt... a style of which someone who liked a good guitar beat like me, likes !! here is my problem.... their lyrics are absolutely awful most of the time, and yet mr. a. young is an extremely talented guitarist. think of all the time the band was together, dating way back to the early 70's in Australia, and how nice it could have been if they went the way of someone like brian adams or john mellencamp !! well, father, i was also wondering if you are from the wisconsin/minnesota/michigan area, as i am a devoted walleye fisherman, and even though i live 35 miles directly south of buffalo, ny in big dairy farm country, i understand just how many people in your neck of the woods go for walleye , the best eatin' fish on the planet !!! many blessings to you, father, as your work is absolutely fantastic and exactly what our world needs now !!! btw, your name is in my spiral notebook !!! denny armes springville,ny

Sounds great, It’s the message that counts❤. The Lord being a forgiving God, I’ll bet he has got you covered. Have a good day and keep up your awesome work.

Fr Lopina, I really enjoy the way you explain things with the presence of mind to keep it simple! You are a very good speaker!

Audio is fine, Father. Thank you for your homilies. They always give me something to ponder that I hadn't thought about before. God bless you!

I am so glad to know someone else likes Alien 3 so much. I have been very isolated in feeling it was absolutely beautiful. It has always seemed so much more artful and philosophical than the first two. Alien 3 is so much more tragic in so many ways, and in my opinion far more human. And that monologue about flowers and death right when the alien bursts out of Spike/the cow?? It’s so grotesquely poetic

So inspiring

Very nice homily. Thank you for sharing it.

Great sermon!

🥰

The best!!!

Definitely one of my favorite saints , and i love the comment about being gullible, something i am accused of - probably daily , by family and friend, not a bad trait.

This is so helpful - i pray that you continue to post more or at least leave these up as long as possible. Your words to me in that last email - some i have cut out and put into my daily prayer/conversations with God, etc. Recovering from what - to me - is unfathomable loss and sorrow - and while maybe its early and i am overly optimistic - but I am making progress, I thank God, I thank you, Father Justin and some other priests that i have listened to.

😅😅😅 another side to you!

This is such a powerful message, thank You Father Justin

Always blessed by his teachings.

Watching from Kuwait.

Most amazing priest ever. Watch his Mass jun 6, 2021 on Heart of the Nation on utube in Milwaukee. He serves at Sacred Heart/St Mathew church in Milwaukee. We are truly deficient by parish priests drawing us to Christ with the truths we truly need bcus we are not being ministered to bcus our priests are overwhelmed with administration rather than service. May God bless Fr Lopina to draw thru his unaffected example other priests being drawn to our Mother Church because we are in the most serious time of our time...culture of death by an atheistic administration for whom we need to pray for their abominations against Mary and our Lord. Infanticide, euthanasia, transgender operations paid with our taxes, same sex marriage, Planned Parenthood being funded by the Biden administration, freedom of speech and religion, our places of worship shut down. Prayer always works. This pandemic doesn't come from God but from our not pleading for forgiveness asking His mercy for shutting Him out and removing Him from our nation. An abomination to our Immaculate Heart of Mary and Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. Pls pray for vocations and for His mercy.

Most passionate priest seen on Heart of the Nation in Milwaukee Wisc Jun 6, 2021. Your life will be transformed by the love Fr Lopina draws you to the very heart of the Mass and Jesus. God bless him for we need more like him. I emailed HoN to learn more about this intensity devout priest but turned Mass on again to find him. He comes from Sacred Heart and St Matthew churches but served at HoN this Sunday Corpus Christi celebration.

Fr. Justin Lopina is an interesting Priest with a very refreshing personality. I am just getting to know him, but he has drawn me in.

Fr. Justin we are so glad we can watch your homilies from Florida. Your messages are always educational and uplifting. God bless you!

Awesome Homily Fr J!!! Keep up the fine work spreading the Good News! Paul Z

Thank You Father - its so good to hear a priest discuss these "proof of heaven " occurrences. God bless you.

Splendid Father!

Father Justin, you need to be heard by many, not just 332 subscribers and etc. Your weekly message is very valuable to me. Thank you.

Good. I needed that

Weird can be good. Deviating from the normal will catch people's attention and help them re-focus.

Excellent!

Fr. Justin, this is so enlightening. Sometimes we hear a call but it is not easy to just leave everything. Thank you. Thank you very much.

It's happening right now. This upcoming week I will be trying something new with my students. It's been very exciting to come up with the idea and plan it and I am looking forward to implementing it. God does seem to call me every couple of years to change things up in my career and answering that call has been rewarding every time.

I have heard the call, Father. Twice. The first time I was on a bus, after work, in the dark. 50 other people on my bus... And I heard just about a whisper in my right ear which was to the window. The voice said "Go back" and I understood immediately that I was to up end my life, my house, my job at the Jersey shore and return to Philadelphia to care for my mother. I had 5 brothers and sister in Philly. I had stayed w Mom till I was 43. From my perspective, it was their turn. Mom was blind and had lost a leg. But I knew immediately that returning to Philly was my mission, and God Knows I didnt want to. But... I heeded that call! I sold my house and quit my job and headed to Philly... And soon after Mom was diagnosed w ovarian cancer and I nursed her throughout for 3 years. Mom died in 2006. The blessing was mine. I would not have traded those days for anything. Currently I am dragging my feet and working onmy second calling. It has to do with the Divine Mercy. I will let you know if I get it together. That story is too fabulous even for me. God bless you Father Justin. And thank you.

Great message today! It really spoke to me because I am loosing everything so I may follow him! He is working in me. Thank you God for your call!

what a wisdom <3

I feel especially close to God at Mass. It doesn't matter the trials of that week or the frame of mind that day, He always reasures me of his love and the communion we share together. I in you, and you in me. I am a willing participant of His Will.

Well said!

Good to see you from quarantine Fr. Justin. What a beautiful quote. What a beautiful homily.

Thank you for your videos! You have such a gift in communicating the word of God in a way that we can understand it better. Hope you feel better soon!

Very good, Father. Im 64, raised Catholic, and just didnt get it till I spent 5 years blind. Then one day Jesus appeared! Amen!

Two quick mentions for the record: For one, I did record this during my Sunday Mass. I converted my small kitchen table into an altar for the duration of my quarantine. So like my other homily videos, this is my "official message" for this week. Secondly, my hair looks weird because I didn't bother doing anything with it... why would I when I'm not leaving the house? :) I'm wearing a purple stole because it's the only one that I have in my portable Mass kit. In those ways, my private Masses in the kitchen are considerably more casual than normal. That said, everything important and vital to liturgy is/was present. Proper vestments and an altar of stone would certainly be a step up... but the biggest thing these Masses lack are other people. Worship is a communal act, and the necessary lack of other people around me is impossible to ignore.

I like the jacket!

Happy New Year Father. Another fine homily. Prayers for your covid test and your health and safety.

Always like your cheerful, inspiring spirit!

Dear Fr. Justin, That's a sad story. Let me tell you a story about a cancer patient who is in terminal stage. All options have been taken and did not work. Patient and doctor have ran out of options. What does the patient do? The patient makes travel plans. Maybe a miracle could happen which would stabilize her situation. Maybe she would get stronger. Or maybe she would not be able to travel at all. But she is being encouraged to plan. To look to the future even if the future is just as near as two weeks. Where is that concept written? It is in the Wellness Community book. I read that book.

You are funny and unique

Happy new year Fr. Justine. Take special care of yourself.

Dr. Laura says something similar in one aspect -- if you had a terrible parent/child relationship when you were a kid, you get a chance you have a good one when you become the parent. She also says it's better to focus your energy on being a good parent rather than focus it on the bad one(s) you had.

I saw that very thing these last 5 days.

Interesting to learn the literal definition of "compassionate".

TAXES!
