Please share this to our fellow Christians who may not have known him yet. I just came across his podcast a minute ago from a fellow Catholic’s comment at Keith Nester’s channel 😊
Thank you so much, Joe. I always look forward to your inspirational presentations of our beloved Catholic Christian Faith. May the Good Lord continue blessing you 🙏
0:41 Cistercians are founded by Robert of Molesme and Stephen Harding. Together with Alberic of Cîteaux, whom I was unaware of. All three saints, btw. St. Bernard is the SECOND founder, a bit like Father Libermann is for the Holy Ghost Fathers. Who also were founded by someone else before that, Claude Poullart des Places. Sometimes, the "second founder" is just better known.
14:15 Isn't She more specifically praying the Psalms of King David? Isn't it an encouragement to those praying The Little Hours, just as a Rosary in Her hands on the images of Fatima and Lourdes are for those praying the Rosary?
I heard a guy speculate once that Christ’s birth was the first coming, his resurrection was the second coming, so that’s already happened. He didn’t speak on Revelation’s coming or the judgement. Barnard sounds like his middle coming is the Holy Spirit, which is distinct from Jesus or God the Father.
Our Lord Jesus comes to us every time we receive Holy Communion. There is an old hymn that I haven't heard since the 1950s, that First Communion children would sing, "JESUS, THOU ART COMING". Very simple but profound, so that even a seven-year-old knew exactly what was happening at a Latin Mass! Most children had it memorized. Google for the beautiful words.
The era of peace is about to come, the triumph of the Imaculate Heart of Mary is coming. The Great Catholic Monarch and The Angelic Pope will bring us there!
@ji8044 I recommend you to do more research about him, very interesting. Also all Saints and Mystics of the Catholic Church have prophecies about him, even the pagans in east asia waiting for him. He is the Giant Angel in revelation chapter 10, he is the one who holds back the temptation of the antichrist near the end time (he could be the antichrist but choose not to). He will convert the east, and rule in the west as the last roman emperor till the antichrist shows up!
Do not downplay the Intermediate Advent as 'business as usual'. It refers to a specific event that has not happened yet, and when it does, it will be equally momentous as the First and Second Coming. Christ will visit every soul on earth interiorly, in a global illumination of conscience where all men will know God and see their lives and their deeds as He sees them. St Edmund Campion referred to it as the great judgement on Earth wherein all men will see the truth and be called to repentance as an act of Divine Mercy. It will be followed by the gift of the Divine Will where the indwelling Trinity will come and make of us living tabernacles, and so enable the Father's will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, in fulfilment of the Lord's Prayer, in a millennium era of peace as promised at Fatima.
But first the consecration. Our lady at Fatima asked for a Consecration which contrary to popular wasn't done specifically to her request by four Popes now. The wording was changed and it was not done union with all the bishops of the world. Reliable witnesses to these consecrations were very attentive so that they could say with certainty that they were valid which wasn't the case.We should have seen a time of Peace with Russia's conversion by now and a restoration of the Church. Fervent Rosaries must still be offered for this intention.
@@dentryn4365 The era of peace is not just a lack of war but the fulfilment of the all Messianic prophecy. The people who live in darkness will see a great light, in the Illumination of Conscience bringing a Second Pentecost prayed for by the Popes. Global justice and peace will reign from coast to coast. Swords will be beaten into ploughshares, no more practicing for war, no more armies, no politics. All human interactions will be freely chosen to comply with the interior rule of the indwelling Trinity, bringing divine peace to the whole world as Jesus reigns in our hearts, not in a token euphemistic way but as a living partner in our minds and thoughts enabling us, as living tabernacles, to choose the Father's Will at every moment of our life. The Prince of Peace will thus fulfill the promise inherent in 'the prayer he gave us' to realise in Him that peace that the world cannot give. The Church will not be restored however until she has passed first through her own Calvary, and been washed white with the blood of her martyrs, and glorified as a spotless Bride fit for her Lord.
Jesus 1st. coming, He died and washes us in his own blood for the remission of our sins and was buried and rose on the third day, 2nd coming he came back to his disciples for 40 days. 3rd coming in the clouds to caught up his church 1Thess4:16-17 ( Christians that were redeemed by his blood) 4th. He is coming back as the lion of Judah to take back the earth, as King of Kings with his saints as an army, to defeat the antichrist and his followers and cast them into the bottomless pit. Amen.
Have you ever thought about the Resurrection, I mean really THOUGHT about it? Both the Romans and the Sadducees know exactly who Jesus is, right? They both had face to face confrontations with him and they know who his followers are. Yet somehow, for 40 days Jesus walks around eating and hanging out with his notorious followers and nobody notices. Nobody says "Hey, why aren't you dead, we killed you!" or reports the presence of a dead man. He sits down to breakfast with them next to the Sea of Galilee after they bring in their catch, but there is no alarm raised at all. FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE are supposed to have seen him in one appearance, but neither the Roman nor the Temple authorities get wind of this and investigate. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
@@ji8044What makes you think they didn't know or investigate? Also, if you take the resurrection to be true, then you can also take the appearance of Jesus on the road to Emmaus to be true, wherein Christ was unrecognizable even to his own disciples. If He can do that to His disciples, certainly He can do so to any Roman or Temple authorities, right? Makes you think...
Ave MARÍA🌹🌷🌹 Never mind waiting for CHRIST to come back, how long will many of us keep HIM waiting ??? Prudence vs vices, who wins when the Spirit and the flesh collide ?
No... Christ will come for His Collective Bride, at the "resurrection of life", at the end of this age, and will spend the 7th Millennial Day/ Sabbath-Rest, with The Father, at the Throne in the Temple in Heaven. 1 Thes 4 : 15 - 18 .. 1 Cor 15 : 20 - 23 .. 1 Cor 15 : 51 - 54 .. Rev 19 .. Rev 20 : 4 - 6 .. John 14 : 1 - 3 Then at the end of the 7th Millennium, will be the "resurrection of damnation".. Christ, along with His Bride, will return from heaven to carry out the Judgment upon the unrighteous.. and to also "inherit the new earth", for the eternal Jubilee.. Rev 20 : 7 - 15 .. Rev 21 & 22 .. Psalm 37 : 11.. Matt 5 : 5 .. John 5 : 28 - 29 )
Video idea: Why should we care about what the church fathers wrote? Not joking. I’m a Protestant looking into early Christianity and I see that question a lot.
"The Word of God is living and effective (active)" (Heb 4:12a), so it lives and grows within the body of Christ today, and has been growing so that nothing appears without having been planted, watered and grown by his Spirit. The Church is supported by three pillars: Sacred Scripture, Sacred Magisterium, and Sacred Tradition, each of which as a whole body support one another when it comes to matters of faith and preserving the deposit of faith handed down and continuously supported in word and spirit (John 14:26) entrusted by the laying on of hands (2 Tim 1:6). "First of all know this, there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy of scripture came through human will, but rather human beings moved by the Holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God" ( 2 Pt 1:20-21). The Apostles appointed people entrusted with the deposit of faith (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:14; Jude 3) to preserve the faith and feed the sheep (Jn 21:17) to the end (Mt. 28:20), and it has been promised that the gates of hell will not withstand against those (Mt 16:18). Thus, we look to these pillars first, but then when we seek further understanding in our faith we look to commentary from our brothers and sisters as well as those who have gone before us. For St. Paul says in Hebrews 13:7 "Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith"; and further, "you know how one must imitate us . . . Not that we had the right. Rather we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us" (2 Thes 3:7, 9). When we wish to grow in the understanding of our faith, one way is we look at our history, and what the saints before us said, did and wrote, but only after we have gone to the Word itself and what has been preserved down the ages in the deposit of faith handed down within his body. Put simply, the early Church Fathers are our earliest commentary on the word of God, which continues to live and preserve his people from all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues (Rev 9:9). These writings are, in one sense the shoots of the Church, supported by the one root, Jesus Christ.
@@ji8044Really, the quotes from Matthew, John, Peter, and Revelation were all actually Paul? That sounds like fake history. You know, you don't have to comment these baseless accusations and falsehoods on every comment. Just an FYI
@@michaelbeauchamp22 I replied to this person because he/she thought unrelated information was relevant to the video. Turns out he’s a troll who seems to interject irrelevant comments based on an agenda.
@@larrys4383 You do have supposed quotes from Matthew and Luke in there but they're not actually quotes. Turns out, you're just another troll who makes up the NT as needed. LOL For instance "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you". John 14:26 Is not the same as "The Church is supported by three pillars: Sacred Scripture, Sacred Magisterium, and Sacred Tradition, each of which as a whole body support one another when it comes to matters of faith and preserving the deposit of faith handed down and continuously supported in word and spirit" By the way, Paul did not actually write the Pastoral Epistles. That's why they do a 180 from the teachings of Paul in the 7 genuine epistles.
The belief that Jesus has already returned is the plain teaching of Scripture and of history. That is, Jesus returned in judgment of Israel around 70 AD and is now the judge of the living and the dead (as he has been since his ascension). The concept that Jesus has yet to return "in glory" yet another time in the near (or distant) future is not precluded by Scripture, but we have no record that this is something that Jesus or the apostles taught. Rather, they taught that we presently live in the Kingdom of God / New Covenant in which the Holy Spirit is available to all thanks to Jesus' work and Pentecost.
It's not 100% clear to me, but are you arguing here for full preterism? If so, that view is decisively contrary to how the early Christians understood Jesus' promises (a point many full preterite concede). On the other hand, if you're arguing for partial preterism (that Jesus' words can refer in one sense to the events of 70 and in another to the eschaton), that's perfectly reasonable and defensible.
The intermediate coming of Christ is happening now; God gave the Gift of the Divine Will to Luisa Piccarreta, who scribed for Our Lord for four decades, penning ‘The Book of Heaven’ titled by God Himself. Christ Acts through each person living in the Divine Will; this is the intermediate third coming. You can participate by learning about Luisa and reading her writings (The Book of Heaven; The Hours of the Passion; The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will). Jesus will come for the second and final time at the end of time. The ‘Millennial Reign’ referenced by Protestants is actually biblical, but they argue whether the rapture comes before or after the millennium. The world is only 6000-ish years old, just as the Bible says. Modernists suggest billions of years, but that’s clearly false. The Divine Will reigns even this day in the hearts of many people around the world. The number grows daily; please join us. All verified by St. Hannibal di Francia, who was canonized by Pope St. John Paul II in A.D. 2004. ❤️🔥🇻🇦🇺🇸⚕️
We wait for Christ in a much different way than the Jews waited for the Messiah. Imagine what it was like waiting century after century from the time after Solomon, through the destruction of the Temple and exile, through the occupation of Rome, till Christmas. Who lost hope as another century was added to history and who remained faithful and hopeful?
Delp was indeed heroic for his connections to the underground Nazi resistance as an individual. But you missed a larger point. You said "In 1943, about a year before he is arrested, he's preaching on the first Sunday of Advent . . ." All that is correct and a reminder that the Pope excommunicated no one, closed no churches in Germany with his power of interdict, defrocked none of the priests who traveled with the Wehrmacht as chaplains. That was true in Italy too, and also in Poland where the leading Catholic prelate Cardinal August Hlond, was a raging anti-Semite before and even after the war, whose words lubricated the extermination of Polish Jews in the concentration camps.
Antisemitic according to Church teachings, or according to the fluid and ever changing definition by the ADL, an explicitly anti-Christian organization?
@michaelharrington6698 yes. Rapture and the second coming are not the same events. Second coming occurs at the end of the tribulation. Rapture happens before the tribulation.
"Don't worry, there's not going to be a fourth coming of Christ next week that I make up." Me: [Just having preached about the four arrivals of Christ: nativity, intermediate, eschaton, and particular judgement.] 😕

@@ji8044 "If you disagree with me, you're stupid and an anti-semite!" Lol, get outta here with that
First Coming - The birth of Christ
Rapture of the Church ( intermediate)
Second Coming - At Armageddon.
The rapture is a 19 century made up doctorine
The “Rapture of the Church” is 19th century nonsense.
Rapture of the Church before the second coming? Uhm, no.
No, catholics don't believe in that modern neoProtestant doctrine
@michaelharrington6698 yes. Rapture and the second coming are not the same events. Second coming occurs at the end of the tribulation. Rapture happens before the tribulation.
"Don't worry, there's not going to be a fourth coming of Christ next week that I make up."
Me: [Just having preached about the four arrivals of Christ: nativity, intermediate, eschaton, and particular judgement.] 😕
