The Rosary is the answer to overcoming demonic oppressive. It saved my life.
I just finished reading “The Rite”, which details Fr. Gary’s faith journey into this ministry. Thank you Fr. Gary for your efforts to help all of us increase our faith and holiness! God bless you and all who hear your message.
Fr. Gary was our youth pastor when we were in highschool. Kind and good man.
As someone who has practiced New Age and was oppressed by it, I know the St Michael prayer is a great defense against Satan. Also always ask Jesus and Mary and St Michael to protect you and your family.
I will add here that the Rosary is powerful in protecting one against all the snares of evil, my life has changed exponentially since I began saying it. It’s truly miraculous.
@andrion waser JESUS REBUKE
Christ said “it is finished” no need to ask ANYONE anything….,,, Christs resurrection said it all . Go about your Fathers Buesness untill His return !!!!!
That prayer has also helped me maintain and protect my sobriety. ♥️♥️♥️🙏
@@roxannetomlin3113 a more accurate translation rather than it is finished is "it is consummated" as in he gave his body to his bride, the Church - the body we eat at Mass, as the Jews used to eat the Passover Lamb to enter into the covenant. He also said it right after drinking the 4th cup of wine which he said he wouldn't drink until the kingdom and died right after drinking it and saying "it is consummated." The 4th cup of wine completes the Passover sacrifice in Judaism, once again showing that he was the perfect Lamb of God for the new covenant, and as the Lamb of the Passover we must eat his flesh. Look into Scott Hahn's talks on the 4th cup.
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Father Thomas. I wish I had known about this, about the constant spiritual battle many years ago. But that I know of it now, because of these priests who tell about and share about this battle, I thank God for them. I will be attending a Deliverance prayer session given by Msgr Rossetti who is also an exorcist on April 15th. St Joseph, terror of demons, protect us.
My son was angry with me for talking to him about God and constantly interrupting when I finally realized something…he wasn’t angry with me. He was angry with God. He was also feeling the Holy Spirit working on him, and on some deep level knew I was right. I told him this. It shut him up instantly. Though he went away in silence, he apologized later. He has asked to know more since then as well.
This is a terrific talk for our pagan and atheist filled society
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling with my faith for so long after my fathers death. Ive been searching for about 5 years and i absolutely went through so much. So much doubt and questioning. Now i am realizing how lucky i am to be born a catholic and how much i am loved by god. I lost my earthly father to find and gain my heavenly father. I didnt even ask to be found! The lord found me. Amen!
May God protect you Father and shower you with his grace
Father Gary Thomas is the Real thing! He has a great prayer team also , I know all this personally 😇
Father John Hollowell (he has a channel with the same name) he is also a great Priest.And search for Father Peter Glas (Polish Exorcist;he has some videos on a channel called RCS International).
and you also love cats i see.
well good for you sg.have you ever spoken to gary?

Jesus loves us so much.
GOD BLESS HIS ONE AND ONLY CATHOLIC CHURCH
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory. Blessings to you Fr. Gary Thomas for your great service.
you deserves applauses father! God bless you. May the Holy Spirit be with you. Always!
The devil was in me but not anymore because I’ve accepted Jesus Christ lord knows all can’t wait for heaven
Father Thomas made a point at 6:40 that deserves emphasis: Many people today are literally so well educated that they are dumb. By this statement, I mean that they have such certitude in themselves that they dismiss what God has given them. I myself was guilty of this when I was MUCH younger. I found my way back to God, but in my area that seems to make me an exception.
Attention All RC Clerics:
@ minutes 42 - 43.
Stop being dismissive.
Every single sin we place inside the Confessional, my brothers and sisters, is another spear through the filthy deceiver.
But the spear is only powered by our WILLINGNESS to sin no more.
Therein lies the unfathomability of our Blessed Lord's forgiveness.
William F. Buckley Jr Where does it say in the Bible Christians have to confess their sins to a priest I don’t understand that there is a scripture in the Bible that says confess your faults one to another that you may be healed
@@Beencouraged777 No priest is required - Luke 18 13-14. The tax collector did not even look up to heaven, never mind a worldly priest. He just had to say the words.
John 20:21-23:
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
I'm so glad to have found another holy priest which I can seek out and glean. It's like finding hidden treasure.
I was impressed with Fr. Gary Thomas and how well he took the time to explain as he explored areas that are mysterious to us.
May God continue to bless you and your prayer team abundantly. Thank you good and faithful servant of the Lord. ✝️🙏♥️
Pray the prayer of Pope Leo XIII, to Holy Michael the Archangel - the prayer Pope Leo created after he heard a conversation between Satan and Christ when finishing his prayers after Mass. He paled and fainted. Gives me shivers every time I think of it; I pray this prayer every day...
In my experience of Satan, he loathes us . The way out of his lies is through love ,the love that Jesus gave us and in the love we have for each other . God bless this priest fr Thomas ,may Jesus's grace pour over him and others that battle against evil .in the name of the Father the Son and the holy ghost Amen .
Yes, this priest IS for real...believe him....he knows what he is talking about....he is gentle, holy, informed....
Shame on you. Wow.
Shame on you 🙏
His Church is in my hometown of 48 years.
Great talk! I admit, in my younger days before kids, I went to fortune tellers, palm readers, tarot card, crystal ball, astrology, etc. I even hired a fortune teller for a big party that I had. I acted like I thought it was fun and harmless and thought it made me seem interesting. But, honestly, it scared me. I'd have bad dreams and become very insecure after the readings. My daughter is interested in ouija boards. I won't allow one in my house, but she and her friends made one out of cardboard. I had a hard time explaining to her how dangerous ouija boards are.
I really appreciate Father's frankness when he explained that these activities open doors to Satan.
That is an encouraging story, and I am happy for you that you have found your way. The occult indeed is a portal for demons to enter, even if you are not 100 % behind those practices.
God bless you Father and your ministry. I have recently attended an Unbound seminar, and am so grateful for the work you and Heart of the Father ministry provide.
there are several good movies - but the movie Possessed (2000 film) starring Timothy Dalton is very good. It was inspired by the true event of possession of Roland Doe whose aunt was terminally ill and told her nephew to contact her with a ouija board after she passed away. He did and eventually became possessed through it. It's a good movie as it is inspired by true events and what happens when going down that road so to speak.
@@robertstevenson3281 I read your comment and his reply and all I can say is that some will be in front of the devil, they will see it eye to eye and even then won’t accept that he exists.
I also was on the new age thing. A friend of mine took his own life after taking ayahuasca (he simply lost his mind). That made me leave all that behind and came back to the Catholic Church. Once I told my “friends” of the new age, they turned cold and evidently distant in a second. Now I understand why.
I had a Baptist friend, she had a relationship with Christ from the time she was a child when she invited Him into her life. When we were housemates, as in a platonic relationship. She had her bible with her always. Though I was not practicing my faith actively I had never rejected the tenants of the faith. My friend had known many Catholic and even was close friends with two Jesuits. One day she said what I had heard before that Catholics did not know the Bible well. I told about the Liturgy, she had been to Mass at times with friends and heard the readings and could tell where they came from. But she was surprised when I told her that we started the year and the liturgy followed the Bible, mostly the New Testament but also with a reading from the Old Testament. And as a child I went to Catholic school and during Lent went to Mass each day so I had a good working knowledge of the Bible. We talked about religion often, she got CA and I was lucky enough to be able to care for her at home. Before she got to the end someone asked her if they could do anything for her. We were lucky that he was Catholic, when she said that she wanted to become Catholic. She had been baptized as a child so we had a priest com in, spent some time with her , heard her confession and gave her Communion a few weeks before she passed. I had not asked her earlier because I did not want to pressure her. You talk about the Holy Spirit working, well He sure did his work that time!
@@dominic5520 Such condescendance on your part!
Bless you Theresa such humble servant of God you are an inspiration.
Thank you so much Fr. Gary we are so blessed to have you
Friar Gary Thomas brought me to follow the Catholic Practice of Faith-- Thank you SO MUCH!
God bless Father Gary Thomas
I've been oppressed and attack by evil since I was 12 years old, I just turned 50 last month. Where I live they must not believe in the Devil or his minions because the priest just say to pray, or nothing at all! Not every state have Priests like him, or Fr. Ripperger, who've I've emailed several times and got nothing back. So I take it that my Lord wants me to suffer more, and I give it up to him every day, I pray the Rosary nearly every day, and if I miss I try to pray 2 or 3 the next day. I ask Our Blessed Mother and St. Padre Pio to pray for me, and I pray that St. Archangel Michael protects me. Started when I was 11 and running away from home, and the only place I could get out of weather, or sleep was an old house back in the woods, where Satanic Worship was held. I've been cursed every since.
Please, I would urge you to consider some professional medical help, it might be usefull as well. Stay strong and I hope you get better!
Jesus spoke of Shepherds that don’t shepherd their flocks.
Being ignored, dismissed or rejected when in Spiritual Need is WRONG.
Outstanding Father!
Thank you so much for this frank open discussion........ I am so glad to have paused and listened..... Thank you Jesus. 💞💞💞
Radio Presenter Niall Boylan is a *HATER OF THE CHURCH* & i'm truly sorry Father for how you were treated. I am among the many Catholics who are teaching the faith here & helping bring the Lord back into the lives of Irish people...I *LOVE* been a proud vocal Catholic cause we cannot be debunkede by anyone. Christ is Lord our God...Lv you Father
kevo YOU MOST BE EVANGELICAL PROTESTANT!!!
RESPECT THE PRIESTS,
THEY ARE HOLY MEN!!!!!!!
AND YOU WILL BE JUDGE BY GOD
FOR WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT THEM!!!!
AMO MI IGLESIA CATOLICA.
I LOVE MY CATHOLIC CHURCH.
MATEO 16:18
Kevo A Stay relevant and hold off on the hyperbole.
Aude Sapere Did you actually listen to the show? .... The priest was NOT treated badly AT ALL!
Kevo A So What has you here?
Please provide objective evidence for your accusation. Fact is, you can not find any. 1-4% of Priests have not remained faithful to their vow of celibacy. .04% have abused prepubescent children (pedophile), while the rest include post pubescent teens to adults, for which nearly all accusations predate 2001, & the vast majority are from the 60’s-70’s. One is far safer, child, teen, adult in anything run by the Church than in any other organization- secular clubs/ sports, Public schools, universities, etc, and while Protestant groups are also safer than secular, one is actually slightly safer still in anything Catholic.
So 4% of Priests (highest given is 7% by very biased sources) have abused, while 30+% in the secular, and 8-10% of Protestant ministers (which could be higher, but due to how fragmented Protestant Churches are, and how many do not report publicly, it is hard to pinpoint an exact %; but it is definitely less than the secular.
I am unsure what your belief stance is, but by your unrighteous judgement, hatred, vitriol, bigotry, it doesn’t appear to be any Christian tradition.. Himble yourself, work upon your own sins and salvation in fear & trembling, and seek genuine Truth, which is found in God.
hes the true deal ! this priest. respect his convictions and dedication
Thank you, Fr. God Bless 🙏🏼
Saint Michael the archangel Pray for us! Protect us🙏🏼 in Jesus’ name amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼
GOD BLESS FATHER GARY for proper representation of the Catholic faith in such a Humble manner . I could never hold my anger if that was myself in that interview.
I am Irish and live in Dublin and am ashamed but not surprised at the reception he received. Ireland is in great trouble spiritually at the present time. So sad as we were once such a beacon of light to the world and the Word. I look forward to Pope Francis's visit here in August. Please pray for him and our country.
Many thanks Father
I am relieved and have peace of mind now after listening to Fr. Gary Thomas's talks because I was strongly Thinking that our family needs deliverance and longing for that chance n that really trouble my mind like anything ....but now I'm at peace..... Thanks to Fr Gary Thomas for his clear explanation
Thank you for this upload. I've been watching videos of the exorcism ministry in the Church this past week, like talks by Fr. Peter Glas, in the wake of this clerical sexual abuse scandal. There is something sinister in all this. The Church needs more priests like Fr. Gary.
Really enjoyed listening to Father Thomas,a very good truthful and holy man.
About time the church brings this to life.
Very enlightening! Thank you Fr.
Father Thomas, I enjoyed listening to this video.
I'm not Catholic anymore. I'm a committed non-denominational Christian, but I DO BELIEVE in the Rite of Exorcism and I am happy the Catholic Church has someone like Father Thomas guiding and teaching everyone about the dangers of the Occult.
U have to come back home. Salvation cannot be Compromised there is only one church Jesus Christ left on earth
Lord Jesus, teach us Patience and Faithfulness
May PRIESTS akin to Fr. THOMAS IMBUE THE Church with selfless giving to their parish...teaching them TRUE FAITH!
Thank you so much. God bless you and your ministry Fr. Gary.
Thank you Fr. Gary Thomas
One of the best talks on the subject I've heard/seen. Good job. Thank you.
VERY GOOD TALKER .GOD BLESS FROM IRELAND .
A very good talker. I thought "talker" generally conveyed a negative connotation.
Paul Hamilton Beannacht De leat agus beannacht De na hanamacha na marbh.
I tried and tried to get support from the church to complete a thorough evaluation for my daughter. To no avail. The clergy I spoke with did as Father Gary said - they ran to the hills. They thought I was a lunatic. I could tell by the way they were speaking with me. They insisted it was psychological. But I wanted a professional exorcist to determine this. We have regular doctors but when we have cancer we see a specialist. She was around a friend of my aunts who was a medium when she was an infant. I still believe she has a malady. She went on to have an abortion, do drugs, drink. Its horrible. I feel very disappointed in Holy Mother Church for shying away from my pleas.
No you pray. God will lead you to the right ppl
I understand. IMHCO priests often don't understand the evil of our times. I have my own story...
👆 SORRY for you & for your daughter. It is WRONG that your Request for Spiritual Help was REJECTED.
@ minute 42-43
Clerics, Don’t Be Dismissive
I have personally experienced
Dismissive Priests.
I reached out at different times
for different reasons to different priests.
I didn’t ask for much and each response was less than expected.
~~~ Hurtful & Perplexing ~~~
(Not being sarcastic)
WHAT Do Parrish Priest DO ?besides Mass, Confessions,
Last Rites & Funerals?
It seems like a part-time job or less than 20 hours per week.
Isn’t the purpose of being a priest to shepherd the flock ?
Pfft
God bless you Father Thomas
As a Lutheran, I do not understand what significance a Catholic Bishop would have to a demon. I have experienced many super natural things, and they have always left after I pled the precious blood of Jesus and ordered them to be gone in Christ's name. The power is in the God's Holy Spirit, not in another church member, regardless of his status.
A Catholic Bishop is a direct descendant of the apostles. The apostles were given great power and responsibility by Christ.
I can’t speak for you, but I can tell you that Luther and his followers are in protest of Jeus Christ and his Church. Not a great position to be in. Also, Luther’s writings are quite horrific, but that’s up to you go find on your own.
Peace.
I was brought up Protestant but dabbled in the occult, mostly Tarot cards, and was delivered after tossing them out, repenting, and saying a prayer of renunciation. I see your point about the Bishop not being an authority in my case but I wonder about people who are more entangled, thus would need an expert to be delivered? Although I first and foremost believe it was Christ who saved me, I believe when it comes to spiritual warfare Catholics really do have an "arsenal" which has benefited me.
RCC is designed to give their AUTHORITY to their RC Clerics and their RC Teachings.
Magisterium + Traditions + Scripture are equal in importance officially, per my research.However
in practice, Scripture/Bible isn’t the foundation it could/should be, imo
JESUS, The Word = The Authority
Above ALL
An excellent talk that reveals how people open themselves up to demonic attacks. I know several people who use clairvoyants or healers.
The Irish have embraced the Sigil of Baphomet. The Lord of Misrule is on the throne here, figuratively speaking and literally.
He is the real deal because God Almighty blessed him to do this job. I wish him a long and healthy life for the service of God and humanity......
Most precious blood of Jesus Christ save us and the whole world
Very good.
THANK YOU FATHER GOD BLESS YOU AND US ALL AND THE WHOLE WORLD
God bless you Father Gary.😘🤔🤔,TRUE, TRUE.
QUEEN OF PEACE MEDIA 。。。 IMPORTANT
EDUCATIONAL SHARING! 。。。。THANK
YOU FOR POSTING THIS！
Thank you. I enjoyed watching this. I want more.
Bless us all that we may be with God
only humility and real love to The father Ooh! Lord Father, SON and Holy Spirit and St. Mother Mary, also st. Michael our friends the saints.
Very, very powerful Catholic lecture on the most important understanding that people can get about the angelic realms, about Lucifer who becomes Satan (adversary) because "he would not serve God." Christ will never violate our free will. Mankind's true occupation in life is to be a "saint" and get to heaven.
If you are a Catholic and you did not get this teaching, well, Fr. Thomas will bring you up to date...
God answers every prayer. Everybody seems to forget today in this instant gratification society that we live in that no is an answer. When we pray for something and we begin to see the fruits of our prayer coming to be, we get very happy. Oh God answered my prayer, He said yes. On the other hand when we have been praying for something for weeks, months, even years with no gratification, we say God is not listening to me, He is not answering my prayer. He is answering your prayer, He is saying NO, at this time that is not the best thing for you. After all who knows our needs, wants, and desires better than The Lord.
St. Monica prayed for twenty years for her son St. Augustine. A man who led a very sinful life only to become one of the greatest Doctors of the Church. Just dont't ask to win the lottery or anything along those lines. I like to think that God says no to most prayers because he wants us talking to Him all the time.
Satan is trying to destroy God's faithful church from the inside. We need to hold our religious leaders to high standards, and punish them to the full extent of the law when they victimize others.
I think the right way to go about it is to for us to go to CONFESSION, PRAY the Rosary, FAST on bread and water, receive the Holy Eucharist for each soul that is not of God. It is Jesus and Our Blessed Mother's intercession are the keys to receiving God grace, mercy, love and healing for that soul.
Look around, man's law is imperfect but God's way is perfection personified. If only we would submit ourselves to God's Divine Will and Mercy. ✝️🙏♥️
👆 Yes. Devil & demons continue to do what they’ve always done.
When SINS (crimes, corruptions & collusions) exist, especially when long term & wide spread, the entire organization (church) suffers.
Perhaps the Sex Abuse Scandal has motivated people to TRUST GOD More and Trust People Less.
Totally enjoyed the speaker Fr.Gary Thomas and i was not surprised to hear what he said about the Irish radio chat show Host Nial.....he kept on interrupting Fr.Gary Thomas,until Fr. Thomas said for the third time can i speak without being interrupted.Nial asked a stupid question,how do you know who is the messiah?Fr. Replied Jesus was the Messiah and that made Niall change the topic completely.It shows how some people are complete Pagans and yet Ireland recently made abortion legal(2016) which is against the 2nd commandment and Ireland even has same sex marriage,which in the eyes of the lord this is another Abomination against God.Remember Sodam & Gamora where both sexes were all having sex and God put an end to that.As i see their is still good christians in Ireland, but evil is at it’s most destructive force now.I will never lose faith in my God and the Church through these hard times.
I understand that Ireland has suffered much from hidden sins
(abuses of all kinds including sex) of RC Clerics ~ in orphanages, schools & churches + cover ups.
(I watched numerous stories on TH-cam).
Betrayal is such a difficult wound to heal from + the most difficult sin to forgive.
When there’s no justice, it’s easy for bitterness to take root which makes ♥️ hard, cold, dark, small.
Do you think that’s what has happened collectively to Ireland?
Fascinating
Now I got this an my tv.
Beautiful!!
AMAZING speech!!!!
How do you give satan a black eye...? You have a good examination of conscience and then go to your priest and give a good confession. 🇻🇦✝️😇
Help how can my son get rid of demonic attachment?
Old book “Pigs in the Parlor” 1973
It’s not a RC book.
“UnBound” is a RC approved book.
Yes he has the Grace of God.
Very good lecture
Evil tempts us whenever the fear of the unknown controls us most instead of being humble enough in the fear of god to respect his laws and his timing of our action or inaction instead of taking his law into our own hands.
AMEN!
We know Jesus is the Messiah because of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3 “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.”
i think each exorcism should be documented and studied and then written literal works (writings) for public access
I was raised catholic. I am what I like to think of as a good person. I had an early abortion with the plan b pill 😩. I don’t practice the occult but appreciate and feel in tune with nature. I’m my eyes God created this nature and I love and appreciate it. I use it’s tools to apply to my life. The elements God created. I don’t feel like using or growing herbs and burning candles or fires is putting another God first. How can I get forgiveness for abortion? I’m in the Bible Belt area but there are like no catholic chrurches just baptist etc.
Dear Apocalyptic behaviors. Thank you so much for your beautiful honesty. You will find healing and grace and forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconcilation (Confession). It is very worth researching where you can find Catholic Churches in your area. They're there, but may be a drive, and making an appointment for Confession, since it's been a long time. You will be amazed by the grace from the Sacrament that you receive. Here's a video which mentions a bit about what happened to Kendra surrounding Confession: th-cam.com/video/Tp-yndbxn0A/w-d-xo.html. God bless you always!
36:29 I can't believe this person yawned wide open when Fr. Thomas talked about rise of satanism.
I have yet to find scripture in the old and new testament that says there's a purgatory. I've only seen heaven or hell. I've not read where Jesus discusses purgatory. I believe this is man made. I also strongly disagree with where your authority comes from. It comes from Christ and not your Bishop (man). Only through the power of Christ can you exorcise demons out of others. I also will pray for you and that Christ will continue to protect you and give you strength and courage to continue in your ministry. Regardless of what I may disagree with you on, I am so thankful and grateful that you stand on the scriptures. Only Jesus can intercede for us.
In 2 Maccabees 12:38-46, Judas Maccabee orders that sacrifices be offered in the Temple in Jerusalem for slain Jewish soldiers who had worn pagan amulets (good-luck charms).
Thank you, Robert, for your honesty. Here are some references to purgatory in the Bible God bless you!
EXAMPLES OF PURGATORY IN THE BIBLE:
"Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. "This is how my heavenly Father will treat
each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart." (Matt.18:32-35)
"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny." (Matt. 5:25)
"But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved-even though ONLY as
one ESCAPING THROUGH THE FLAMES.” (1 Cor. 3:11-15)
Jesus teaches us, "Come to terms with your opponent or you will be handed over to the judge and thrown into prison. You will not get out until you have paid the last penny." (Matt. 5:26,18:34; Luke 12:58-59) The word "opponent" (antidiko) is likely a reference to the devil (see the same word for devil in 1 Peter 5:8) who is an accuser against man (c.f. Job 1.6-12; Zech. 3.1; Rev. 12.10), and God is the judge. If we have not adequately
dealt with Satan and sin in this life, we will be held in a temporary state called a prison,
and we won't get out until we have satisfied our entire debt to God. This "prison" is purgatory where we will not get out until the last penny is paid.
Jesus says, "Be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect." We are only made perfect through purification, and in Catholic teaching, this purification, if not completed on earth, is continued in a transitional state we call purgatory. (Matt. 5:48)
Jesus says, "And anyone who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but no one who speaks against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven either in this world or in the next." (Matt. 12:32)
Jesus thus clearly provides that there is forgiveness after death. The phrase "in the next" (from the Greek "en to mellonti") generally refers to the afterlife (see, for example, Mark 10.30; Luke 18.30; 20.34-35; Eph. 1.21 for similar language). Forgiveness is not necessary in heaven, and there is no forgiveness in hell. This proves that there is another state after death, and the Church for 2,000 years has called this state purgatory.
Luke 12:47-48-When the Master comes (at the end of time), some will receive light or heavy beatings but will live. This state is not heaven or hell, because in heaven there are no beatings, and in hell we will no longer live with the Master.
1 Cor. 15:29-30-Paul mentions people being baptized on behalf of the dead, in the context of atoning for their sins (people are baptized on the dead's behalf so the dead can be raised). These people cannot be in heaven because they are still with sin, but they also cannot be in hell because their sins can no longer be atoned for. They are in purgatory. These verses directly correspond to 2 Macc. 12:44-45 which also shows specific prayers for the dead, so that they may be forgiven of their sin.
Phil. 2:10-Every knee bends to Jesus, in heaven, on earth, and "under the earth" which is the realm of the righteous dead, or purgatory.
2 Tim. 1:16-18-Onesiphorus is dead but Paul asks for mercy on him "on that day." Paul's use of "that day" demonstrates its eschatological usage (see, for example, Rom. 2.5,16; 1 Cor. 1.8; 3.13; 5.5; 2 Cor. 1.14; Phil. 1.6,10; 2.16; 1Thess. 5.2,4,5,8; 2 Thess. 2.2,3; 2 Tim. 4.8). Of course, there is no need for mercy in heaven, and there is no mercy given in hell. Where is Onesiphorus? He is in purgatory.
Heb. 12:14-without holiness no one will see the Lord. We need final sanctification to
attain true holiness before God, and this process occurs during our lives and, if not completed during our lives, in the transitional state of purgatory.

The National Rosary for America is coming..beginning 15 August. JOIN THIS. Pray the Rosary for America. This is as communal as we can get! It is a 54-day novena for this nation. PLEASE join it and encourage your parish to do so. ALL 54 days until October 7th when Catholics all over this nation pray as one voice to Our Lady and ask her help. We can do this!
Do you want to know what I notice? The ouija board is the polar opposite of the Holy Rosary, in terms of spirituality.
I really found what Fr. Thomas had to say fascinating, but the crowd was distracting. Too many people moving around really hurt the message. PLEASE don't film the audience!
Paradise IS LOST ! Its only Heaven ! JESUS TOOK PARADISE with HIM to Heaven when He was three days dead ... HEAVEN is Our Christ ian destination ! Thank GOD ! God Bless! 💟✝️✨✨✨
Ok .... I’m Irish and from Dublin and I listened to that radio show .... The Radios host name is Niall Boylan and he has a show called the cutting edge .... which offers QA to the public based upon current topics of discussion or interest in Ireland. As much as I respect Fr Gary Thomas and his calling I can tell you that he is being absolutely unfair in his depiction of how the radio presenter treated him. Now maybe this is a cultural divide in how the priest interpreted how the questions were asked but in no way did I perceive the radio host to be impolite in any way shape or form. I also believe that Fr Gary Thomas didn’t realize that the show wasn’t actually about him or the serious nature of his work .... he was simply there as a catalyst to provoke conversation on air amongst the Irish people only or those that listened to the show. There is an air of pride coming across to me from the father and I recognize that even if he doesn’t appear to realize it. The show was NOT about him or his work nor was the radio host to quote “dripping in sarcasm” ..... the radio hosts job is to provoke controversy in order to entertain the audience with thought provoking conversations. Such is the nature of radio shows!.....I think Fr Gary Thomas is up his own backside on that topic even though I genuinely respect his work and his level of knowledge and deep intellect regarding the field he operates in.
that could be true......or you could be the instrument of the evil one.....
Alberta Beaudry What do you think? .... what’s more likely?
And that’s why you listen to Nial Boylan, this is not an entertainment topic, provoking a guest rather than having a true dialogue is quite underhand. Your response is your own projection of your own pride & sarcasm from what I can see. Particularly given your last few sentences. Food for thought. God bless

Whether u believe or not, whether modern times or the future or the Middle Ages, it does not change the fact that satan and his demons exist because of their fall. Jesus exist because it is recorded in the Bible, in archeological finds in Israel and aldo in China and Egypt and in the scrolls found in Kumran, in the manifestation of the hosts(wafer) offered during the rite of the Holy Eucharist, turning into fresh flesh and blood which never dry up, and for miracles which are experienced by some people, including me, when I asked Jesus for help but leaving it to His divine wisdom.
I would very much like to listen to what this Niall fellow said. Can anyone share the link to the interview please.
God Bless

What should we do if we have a friend who is into astrology and spells?
Be thankful that you have a friend, perhaps.
Better reign in Hell than servitude in Heaven- The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and than go to church. That's the all issue.
When he genuflected. Yep, a true Priest of Christ. No hireling here.
