In order for you to be more of a saint, you need to be more of a sinner. How can you service the failures of life unless you fully understand the failures of life? Understanding the traditions of the Church has nothing to do with it. All saints were sinners.
biggest problem? wow - so many. 1 - they don't love Christ - John 14:15 2 - they don't follow Truth - John 17:17 3 - they don't know God - 1 John 2:3 and that's just the basics!
St. Francis sees sinful clergy man and corruption in the Church. Francis tries to reform it, but he doesn't start a new church. He first reforms himself. Francis is a saint, be like Francis. Beautiful video ❤️
@@tiffanymay1380Hi! It is not true that the Catholic Church "works" with the WEF. The Church is still here after 2000 years precisely because it has never "worked" with any institution. Institutions have come and gone, but the Church stays because it is not any other Institution, but the Body of Christ. I gather you're not a Catholic, because no Catholic would ever say that he is a "fan" of the Church. Anyway, have a good day.
@@tiffanymay1380 The Catholic Church is the largest charity in the world. The Catholic Church is The Bride of Jesus Christ and is led by The Holy Spirit.
@@tiffanymay1380 Hello Tiffany! Although some members might be, the Church, which is the bulwark of truth (coming from Our Lord) is not involved with the WEF. 😊🙏
Wow! “We need to be more interested in reforming ourselves than reforming the institution” this is the most profound statement I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you!
I find it interesting that it's basically the source of the entire message by clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. Fix yourself before trying to fix the world and its institutions. And he has a massive following and has been getting deeper and deeper into Christianity. It seems to be the Holy Spirit talking.
No another distraction. Another excuse to do nothing and continue to sweep things under the carpet. Lacking courage to take the tough decisions because priest left their family and material things and most have no one to go back to. Satan entered the church and targets the most important part- the clergy.
Love this! I think I could mediate on this for the rest of my life! You have nailed it! I struggle with my flesh daily and need to surrender to the Holy Spirit. I am Lutheran and love the Catholic church. God is leading me home!]
“We’re not supposed to just live life struggling with the same old sins all the time, embracing our imperfections, and then, somehow, to sneak into purgatory by the back door, where all the real work of purification is going to happen.” What an excellent line! I really needed to hear that.
I swear... all you wonderful gents at St. Michael's really have a tremendously helpful approach in all your work. What a blessing you are. Thank you for this wonderful video and devotional.
Beautiful. Thank you so much. This channel should have millions of subscribers! I have shared it with friends and family, thank God it is possible to watch it with subtitles in other languages. I wish the Catholic Church in Germany listened to the message of this video; they want to make "cosmetic" but very dangerous modifications to Catholic teachings and even to the liturgy itself. God help us.
I’ve admired the work of the Abbey for decades, so it’s as a friend that I say this: don’t let this message lull people into pious silence in the face of sin and folly within the hierarchy. People need no persuasion to keep their heads down (in timidity, not in prayer). They need encouragement to rise bravely to their feet, and confront arrogance and disobedience in those above them and firmly say “That is not right!”
Thank you! Priests from St Michaels Abbey used to teach at my old high school back in the mid to late 2000's. They were truly formative in my Catholic education and lead to my conversion while there. So happy to see people around the world getting to hear their wisdom now through these videos
So, instead of making demands of Jesus, I should be asking Him what He wants? That’s some dangerous thinking right there. If people just started submitting to Jesus and letting him guide their lives, do realize how crazy things would get?
How does following Jesus’ words lead to ‘craziness’? How does not stealing, respecting parents, not killing, not committing adultery, not lying, not indulging oneself in envy, loving god and those around us, which serve as the basis of Jesus’ commandments bad for human society?
With everyone saying the "S" words it's really good to see someone of the faith saying, "Hey, if you want to fix the church, start with yourself" People do not pray enough and we fell into a area of realvatism, where everyone says and does "its OK, you do you" and "We must be tolerant and not force our beliefs onto others including my children" We must bring people closer to the Faith and Truth, but we must do from a place of charity and not self righteousness. We start with ourselves
That was a very good video. I was waiting for all the usual stale arguments about why we need to focus on ourselves (which I don't disagree with), but Fr. Ambrose makes some very good and insightful observations. This seems to be a hallmark of the Norbertines from St. Michael's Abbey -- going beyond platitudes with discussion that has profundity. Time well spent watching this video. Well done! Now to sign up to watch the 5 keys series.
It is folly to turn our attention away from the terrible problems that are around us at all levels. The people of the church have been guilty of mortal sins, and the systems of our world are made sometimes imbedded in sinfulness. We must be brave enough to challenge all of this as well. An isolated life totally ignoring the humanity around us is a life that is only half full. First be wise enough to seek sainthood in yourself, but understand that is a life long process. At the same time in seeking holiness you must use your gifts to help humanity
Sad to say, most parishes in our country, sacramentals (holy water in the stoup) no longer observed before entering churches, for the fear of spreading the virus. Seems it's optional.
The way to sainthood is holiness. The way to holiness is through fulfillment of God's good purpose for our lives. When we find and live God's perfect purpose for which we were born and perfectly matched, we travel the path back to Him, to eternal life later and abundant life in Christ now. There's no other way to live. It's never too late to start. It doesn't matter what we've done or what's been done to us. All you have to do is ask for God's mercy and for Him to reveal His good plans and purpose, pay attention to the ideas and opportunities that present themselves, say YES, and then ACT on those things, and you will find yourself in the sweet middle of the beautiful life He has for you. #pray #listen #act #repeat. Ephesians 2:10, John 10:10, Romans 8:28
I'm genuinely baffled. I still have love in my heart, but with everything the Church has done, the incalculable damage to the faithful, the ruined lives and communities, the denials and coverups, the unfulfilled promises and disingenuous apologies after being caught and pushed into a corner, and the public apologies that contradict the tens of millions of dollars that continues to be paid to lobbyists and lawyers to sabotage any possibility of justice or peace for the countless victims of the past and present maleficent predatory behavior of clergy all over the globe... and this guy says, with a smile on his face... the biggest problem with the Catholic Church is a lack of individual sainthood? Until the hierarchy of the Church enters a confessional the size of a city, gets on its collective knees, fixed with a live, 24-hour webcam, and confesses to the world and begs for forgiveness, it has no credibility or moral authority whatsoever, and none of you have any right or wisdom to tell any of us anything that could be considered wisdom.
Not really, Padre. Two different issues. I should reform myself but once that’s done, the papal and hierarchical corruption will remain, the attack on the Church by these weak and evil men will continue, and the tools the Church has to provide us with grace will be further lessened by their continued attacks, and thus the actual biggest problem in the Church will remain and have gotten worse.
@st.michaelsabbey I'm really in love with the background chants. Can you please let me know the title of both chants particularly the second one? Thanks
Atta Boy Father. To be Christ like is to be Saintly. Don't fool your self masonic influance has more at play in REFORMATION then you think. Much love and respect. Please Holy spirit ssve the church. Let GODS WILL BE DONE.😔
You can walk and chew gum. Spiritual works of mercy include "rebuking the sinner" and "instructing the ignorant" by doing those things, you ARE working on your own sanctification by not fearing men but fearing God.
Continuity...because it is in the process of living, thinking, acting and insisting in handing the Faith on that matters. The repudiation of apostolic teaching and moral guidance which is God's will and guide is why places like Germany follow the fashion of the times much like Christian's took part on the French Revolution crying for the blood of innocent people. It is why Christian's threw out Christ to followed the Paris Commune, Marx and Hitler. Now lacking self control many think their erotic impulses are imperatives...not simply passing whims. We are not what we feel...we become what we do despite what we feel. Yes its not structures but individuals that must reform and improve with God's fee help. But in Germany vices are being blessed and this new flag waiving ideology is just the same old repudiation in the name of free...dumb. Like Lucifer rebelling again God and all good that proceeds from God.
If my house were burning would I only run outside and watch it burn to the ground and not even tried to save those within like my wife and children. I agree that we must become saints. But our Church is burning to the ground and I, we must do whatever we can to save her. Is bearing my head in the sand. When it comes to the corruption in the church hierarchy. Is that building the church up or watching it burn?
In a Splinter Second. Every one wants to be a St Paul and give their own suggestions to the Church but St Paul's suggestions come from God not of himself lest he boast. Hypocrits our Lord taught first excise the beam that is in your own eye so second you can see clearly to excise the splinter in your brother's eye. My own problem is in need of greater immediate attention than any supposed dire need of the Church. If a beam is extruded from one's eye a healing treatment process must begin else a blindness could arise, so let's let this method of five keys treat and heal us: Goodness, Generosity, Hospitality, Beauty and Wisdom
I have been greatly perplexed by all the heresy going on in the Church. Bless you Father by letting me know it starts with & my desire for holiness. Christ will sort out the rest.
Really feel if people got home before dark, worked four days a week...could feel a self hug at that end of day to keep presence, people need peace & rest. Also can get into exploratory discernment less snap authority...and connect into that "self" teaching lifestyle of paradise...how you want your eternal spiritual relationship to heaven to be...near or far, still hearing good conscience, solving mysteries. What is lost today is salt of the earth towards God...richness of sacramentals for regular slow living...though perhaps not as spendy, leans toward slower investments and longer plan for building home wealth (creating long goals of sustainability through developing gardening, fishing, hunting, etc).
Great Video Fr Ambrose. Can you please talk about the 3 instances of when God talks through the Pope. There's a lot of confusion going on in the Vatican. During Confession a Priest said that when the Pope Talks about Faith, Morality & I forgot the 3rd....that is God talking & we Listen. Anything else he talks about besides those 3, we can ignore. What is the 3rd (I assume the Traditions of the Church)?
Thanks dear fr Ambrose, St Michael Abbott videos are so beautiful, every aspect is so carefully thought.God bless, some day I'llbe there visiting that place....
Thank you so much for saying what you said!! You are my brother in Christ and we must be unified and work together in calling to share the Gospel of Christ. Bless you father! You brought tears to my eyes just now because the Father has showed me this is on his heart before the end times begin! It starts with the church in us! So good!! And yes and yes....we are to abide with Christ.
Thank you. Reading the Bible is different from obeying the scriptures. Also know that all good works and deeds are not in the Bible too. When I say God help me to become a saint, that simply means Let him direct my paths all to his glory🙏 God bless you 🙌
Would you please stop reciting biblical versus you learned long ago, though I appreciate it, but are you telling me you don’t get angry? You don’t envy ? You don’t ..(you name it, the list is very long as to what makes us sinners) , we all sin on a daily basis, whether you love your family or you are nice to those around you doesn’t matter, the very being as a human is a SIN
Thank you for your encouraging enlightenment.True we need Gods mercy forgiveness and guidance to become the Saints he calls us to be.I will pray for your Abbey and all who dwell there.Please Pray for me especially tomorrow morning at 10:00am May St Francis Padre Pio Maximilian Kolbe St.Benedict and St Clare and all Gods Saints intercede for me.Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ save us and the whole World.May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus triumph Peace +Prayers Margi S.A
I agree completely that I need to work on myself and see the tendency to criticize others. And yet Jesus himself had many examples of criticizing the religious leaders of his day. So I would not make not criticizing my church an absolute rule all the time. Of course, it requires wise discernment, and is no easy thing. Rev. Dilys Cromack
Thank you so much for this video. I have enjoyed your videos, and I also was so blessed to watch mass for St. Michael's feast day. I remind myself that I must decrease so God can increase, so that others may also come to believe. I must live in truth, not in the ways of the world. Thank you all.
Humble and obedient, yes… to God first. If we follow that rule, we will automatically become saints, and will then be able to help Our Lord build and sustain a Church worthier to be called His. This includes correcting the words and acts of powerful men within the Church who use their positions without humility and obedience to God. Examples can be found in Chicago, Washington DC - but most abundantly in Rome.
@@doverbeachcomber Not sure what your point is. Obedience has a wet nurse, true humility, and the soul is as humble as she is obedient. Obedience is the Word's key to Heaven. Key put in each of our hand at Baptism. We are called to be obedient to the vow of our vocation. I believe that is what Father is saying about looking at oneself.
Well said. We can only Reform Ourselves in and through The Traditional Latin Mass. The Mass Of The Saints before us. May The Lord Saturate Our Souls With The Holy Spirit 🔥✝️🙏
Turn to the Bible and read Romans 11:16-24. St. Paul warns the Church of Rome that just because God founded the Church that does not mean God will not give up the Church. God did not spare the Israelite priesthood (the original branch) and destroyed the Temple by allowing the Romans to sack it. Why, because Israel grew in arrogance believing themselves to be the chosen nation of God due to ethnic nationalism, allowed the practice of pagan customs and introducing idols into the temple violating God's law, and the Israelite priesthood murdered Christ denying the Son being the promised Messiah. Look right now what's happening in the Roman Catholic Church: - The Bishops are covering up the pederasty and sex abuse scandals by predatory priests. - The Vatican is allowing the practice of pagan rituals like, for example, pache mama performed in its domain as a gesture of interfaith dialog with people of pagan and occult religions that go against the spirit of Christianity. - Papa Francisco is welcoming LGBT to the parrishes, and he even expresses for a law to be promulgated to accept civil unions for LGBT. - Furthermore, Papa Francisco is urging governments across the world to ban the death penalty. That's nuts. Just look what's happening in places in U.S.A. crime is getting out of control and murders are becoming unsustainable. Where's the mercy for the victim and justice against the wicked? The Bible is very clear, God gave up on the Israelite priesthood and destroyed the temple because Israel drowned in hubris and sin. The Roman Catholic Church is not exempt either from not being spared by God. Many Catholics have this mindset that just because Christ said, "On this rock I shall built my Church upon and the gates of hell won't prevail", they arrogantly believe that no matter how corrupt the RC Church becomes, God won't give up on the RC Church and it's holiness will be eventually restored back. No, God is going to abandon the Church of Rome and will destroy the Vatican, if the RC Church papacy and priesthood persist in their hubris, lies, and lawlessness. In fact, read history and google the Sack of the Vatican of 1527 that was God's first warning to the Church of Rome.
_If you ever find yourself questioning your existence _or you want answers about what your purpose is in this life,_The Quran is the only book in the world which will give you the true answers to these questions._
WARNING TO THE CATHOLICS FROM GOD: THOSE WHO MENTION MARY’S NAME IN THEIR PRAYERS ANGER AND DISGUST GOD, AND WILL NOT ENTER HIS KINGDOM. MARY WAS A HANDMAID OF THE LORD (LUKE 1:38) AND GOD IS HER SAVIOR (LUKE 1:47). THE LORD HIMSELF TOLD ME TO WARN THE PEOPLE BECAUSE SO MANY ARE LOST; INSTEAD OF READING HIS WORD, THEY LEAN ON THEIR OWN BELIEFS (PROVERBS 3:5-6) AND WILL END UP IN HELL. NEITHER GOD NOR JESUS HAVE RESPECT OF PERSONS. THIS IS WHY JESUS CALLS MARY “WOMAN,” AS HE DID WITH ALL WOMEN. MARY ONLY DID WHAT GOD COMMANDED OF HER, AS ANY BELIEVER SHOULD DO. GOD HAS COMMANDED JESUS TO BE THE SOLE INTERCESSOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, AND NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE IS ANOTHER FOUND (1 TIMOTHY 2:5, JOHN 14:6). JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE TO OVERCOME DEATH AND THE SINS OF THE WORLD, NOT MARY. REPENT, OR ALL WILL BE LOST, SAYS THE LORD.
Your pastor must have told you this. Understand and study Mariology. Not yapping around. Imagine writing this in a Catholic channel and we ain't changing our stand.
@@annie5441 another lost soul you are. What amazes me is that you people are just speaking and have not done a study. You want reasons in order to understand but you forget faith and reason go hand in hand.
@@proudlycatholic1259 I DON’T GO TO CHURCH, JESUS HIMSELF TOLD ME, HE’S THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO WARN THE PEOPLE, PLEASE KNOW I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.

What if those administering sacraments become the biggest obstacle in achieving sainthood?
Not really, Padre. Two different issues.

Be careful not to fall into despair. God will raise up saintly clergy to defend His Church, we just need to pray for them.
I loved this message Fr. Ambrose. I’ve been so depressed in recent months with what is happening in the church. this is a message I needed to hear.
Beautifully said ❤thank you God bless you🙏🏻
The whole point of the Church is to help us become saints. If we were saints, we'd be in Heaven with God and there wouldn't be a need for the Church.

What an honest message this is 💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏿💙
Lead by example live like a Saint
You should be pope
Distracting music
The biggest problem is Catholics not practicing Catholicism.
Let's change that.
This is so true.
Thank you so much for saying what you said!! You are my brother in Christ and we must be unified and work together in calling to share the Gospel of Christ. Bless you father! You brought tears to my eyes just now because the Father has showed me this is on his heart before the end times begin! It starts with the church in us! So good!! And yes and yes....we are to abide with Christ.
May God help me to become a saint 🙏
If you read your Bible , you’re a saint according to the Bible, the word of God.
If you are waiting for man to canonises you, good luck to you.
Thank you.
Reading the Bible is different from obeying the scriptures.
Also know that all good works and deeds are not in the Bible too.
When I say God help me to become a saint, that simply means Let him direct my paths all to his glory🙏
God bless you 🙌
The psalmist says we are sinners already in the mothers womb, ie, our own nature is sin, how can we change our nature? It is impossible
Would you please stop reciting biblical versus you learned long ago, though I appreciate it, but are you telling me you don’t get angry? You don’t envy ? You don’t ..(you name it, the list is very long as to what makes us sinners) , we all sin on a daily basis, whether you love your family or you are nice to those around you doesn’t matter, the very being as a human is a SIN
Thank you for your encouraging enlightenment.True we need Gods mercy forgiveness and guidance to become the Saints he calls us to be.I will pray for your Abbey and all who dwell there.Please Pray for me especially tomorrow morning at 10:00am May St Francis Padre Pio Maximilian Kolbe St.Benedict and St Clare and all Gods Saints intercede for me.Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ save us and the whole World.May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus triumph Peace +Prayers Margi S.A
Amen. God Bless.
I'm really in love with the background chants. Can someone please let me know the title of both chants particularly the second one?
Thanks
I agree completely that I need to work on myself and see the tendency to criticize others. And yet Jesus himself had many examples of criticizing the religious leaders of his day. So I would not make not criticizing my church an absolute rule all the time. Of course, it requires wise discernment, and is no easy thing. Rev. Dilys Cromack
Thank you so much for this video. I have enjoyed your videos, and I also was so blessed to watch mass for St. Michael's feast day. I remind myself that I must decrease so God can increase, so that others may also come to believe. I must live in truth, not in the ways of the world. Thank you all.
Good point. Imagine how different the world would be if Martin Luther's 99 theses was a list of his 99 shortcomings.
The reason I go to church to pray and praise God. The politics of the church doesn't concern me.
Thank you for the video. Such beautiful & wise words! God bless you Father!
The audio from this is so good. I'd love to get this in my podcast feed.
Thanks so much for all you do!
Beautifully said. Each of us needs to be humble and obedient.
Humble and obedient, yes… to God first. If we follow that rule, we will automatically become saints, and will then be able to help Our Lord build and sustain a Church worthier to be called His. This includes correcting the words and acts of powerful men within the Church who use their positions without humility and obedience to God. Examples can be found in Chicago, Washington DC - but most abundantly in Rome.
@@doverbeachcomber Not sure what your point is. Obedience has a wet nurse, true humility, and the soul is as humble as she is obedient. Obedience is the Word's key to Heaven. Key put in each of our hand at Baptism. We are called to be obedient to the vow of our vocation. I believe that is what Father is saying about looking at oneself.
Well said. We can only Reform Ourselves in and through The Traditional Latin Mass. The Mass Of The Saints before us.
May The Lord Saturate Our Souls With The Holy Spirit 🔥✝️🙏
Not only the TLM, the NO is also conducent to this end. This is not an issue of lithurgical forms...
Thanks Father, well said!
What Order is this?
Me too Father me too.
Amen
Word.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Gentiles need the 7 Noahide laws.
Gentiles need Jesus Christ.
Since we are baptized and healed of original sin, why do we continue to sin ???
Because original sin is not the source of our inclination to sin
concupiscence
When you are healed the residual damage remains .. darkened intellect .. weakened will
THE SYNOD OF SYNODALITY IS PURE EVIL CONFUSION !👹
Turn to the Bible and read Romans 11:16-24.
St. Paul warns the Church of Rome that just because God founded the Church that does not mean God will not give up the Church.
God did not spare the Israelite priesthood (the original branch) and destroyed the Temple by allowing the Romans to sack it.
Why, because Israel grew in arrogance believing themselves to be the chosen nation of God due to ethnic nationalism, allowed the practice of pagan customs and introducing idols into the temple violating God's law, and the Israelite priesthood murdered Christ denying the Son being the promised Messiah.
Look right now what's happening in the Roman Catholic Church:
- The Bishops are covering up the pederasty and sex abuse scandals by predatory priests.
- The Vatican is allowing the practice of pagan rituals like, for example, pache mama performed in its domain as a gesture of interfaith dialog with people of pagan and occult religions that go against the spirit of Christianity.
- Papa Francisco is welcoming LGBT to the parrishes, and he even expresses for a law to be promulgated to accept civil unions for LGBT.
- Furthermore, Papa Francisco is urging governments across the world to ban the death penalty.
That's nuts.
Just look what's happening in places in U.S.A. crime is getting out of control and murders are becoming unsustainable.
Where's the mercy for the victim and justice against the wicked?
The Bible is very clear, God gave up on the Israelite priesthood and destroyed the temple because Israel drowned in hubris and sin.
The Roman Catholic Church is not exempt either from not being spared by God.
Many Catholics have this mindset that just because Christ said, "On this rock I shall built my Church upon and the gates of hell won't prevail", they arrogantly believe that no matter how corrupt the RC Church becomes, God won't give up on the RC Church and it's holiness will be eventually restored back.
No, God is going to abandon the Church of Rome and will destroy the Vatican, if the RC Church papacy and priesthood persist in their hubris, lies, and lawlessness.
In fact, read history and google the Sack of the Vatican of 1527 that was God's first warning to the Church of Rome.
_If you ever find yourself questioning your existence _or you want answers about what your purpose is in this life,_The Quran is the only book in the world which will give you the true answers to these questions._
WARNING TO THE CATHOLICS FROM GOD:
THOSE WHO MENTION MARY’S NAME IN THEIR PRAYERS ANGER AND DISGUST GOD, AND WILL NOT ENTER HIS KINGDOM. MARY WAS A HANDMAID OF THE LORD (LUKE 1:38) AND GOD IS HER SAVIOR (LUKE 1:47). THE LORD HIMSELF TOLD ME TO WARN THE PEOPLE BECAUSE SO MANY ARE LOST; INSTEAD OF READING HIS WORD, THEY LEAN ON THEIR OWN BELIEFS (PROVERBS 3:5-6) AND WILL END UP IN HELL. NEITHER GOD NOR JESUS HAVE RESPECT OF PERSONS. THIS IS WHY JESUS CALLS MARY “WOMAN,” AS HE DID WITH ALL WOMEN. MARY ONLY DID WHAT GOD COMMANDED OF HER, AS ANY BELIEVER SHOULD DO. GOD HAS COMMANDED JESUS TO BE THE SOLE INTERCESSOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, AND NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE IS ANOTHER FOUND (1 TIMOTHY 2:5, JOHN 14:6). JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE TO OVERCOME DEATH AND THE SINS OF THE WORLD, NOT MARY. REPENT, OR ALL WILL BE LOST, SAYS THE LORD.
Instead of yelling would you like to have a convo
Your pastor must have told you this.
Understand and study Mariology. Not yapping around.
Imagine writing this in a Catholic channel and we ain't changing our stand.
@@proudlycatholic1259 But you will, and it will be too late.
@@annie5441 another lost soul you are.
What amazes me is that you people are just speaking and have not done a study. You want reasons in order to understand but you forget faith and reason go hand in hand.
@@proudlycatholic1259 I DON’T GO TO CHURCH, JESUS HIMSELF TOLD ME, HE’S THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO WARN THE PEOPLE, PLEASE KNOW I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
Be an actual Holy example. And do outreach to the world. ❤️🔥✝️❤️🔥😇❤️🔥✝️❤️🔥😇❤️🔥
