Sean and Beth and family are amazing. He taught art for 25 years at Franciscan University which our children attended. They introduced regenerative ag in Oklahoma where my brother is a monk. The arms of mercy reach far and wide! Loved your reflections, Justin. You are gifted with words of wisdom.
Justin, this was the BEST Vlog ever! Giving Glory to God in all one's works, joy & sufferings. When one is doing work in the heat of the sun, it makes it quite bearable when one is thinking of all that our Lord suffered for us and He is with us every step of the way. Makes everything, a prayer offering of love.👍💖🥰
your last sentence says it all. A dear friend once asked me how come I keep a cross and a Holy family statue on my kitchen window sill? I replied I dislike washing the dishes, but I do it with love for my savoir, for my family.
@@auntgertrude2717 Amen. Every morning, I offer my whole day by the prayer: Eternal Father, I offer You all my prayers, works, joys & sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in reparation for my sins & those of the whole world. Amen. When you do this, you're giving your entire day as a love offering to God and you keep asking for the graces to be mindful of your offering and trying your hardest to accept all that happens in every given moment---yhe good and the not so good; such as sickness, etc... When I or my family gets sick, I pray, Lord, if this is not from You, then please bring us Your healing, but whatever Your will, I accept for Your Honor and Glory & for the saving of souls from hell. In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen 🥰🙏💖
How reverent this vlog was! Uncle Justin you did an outstanding job of showing the depth of this families Catholic faith and of their daily practice of it and how it should be lived. Loved seeing that Beth veiled. As a practicing Catholic myself, their example is my ultimate goal. Day by day, I'm getting there. Thank you Uncle Justin, Shawn and Beth. God bless you!
You relayed a fairly accurate description of what Mass is. You were respectful and reverential with this special sacrament celebrated by Catholics. Think of Mass as a re-enactment of the Last Supper. This, in essence, is what is happening at Mass: Jesus sharing his last meal with His disciples, giving them a glimpse of what's to come (his crucifixion and his resurrection), and then sending them off to their mission to spread the Gospel. Thank you for being respectful.
The Mass is the Sacrifice of the New Law in which Christ, through the ministry of the Priest, offers Himself to God in an unbloody manner under the appearances of bread and wine. Deo Gracias🙏
Amen! Keeping the Catholic Faith as CA refugees in East TX. If you're ever in our neck of the woods we have a large community that would be beside themselves to be able host y'all! May God bless you always Rhodes Family🙏
THIS IS SO COOL!!! I love how you "keep an open mind" and implicitly encourage your viewers to do the same. The Doughertys are really set up with root cellar, summer kitchen, maple syrup station, smoke house, dairy, garden, and daily Mass. Wow. Thank you so much for doing this one in two parts, 'cause I wanted more after yesterday!
I absolutely loved this video Justin. Shawn and Beth are living a life I wish I could. Farming and going to daily mass. If you really want to be blown away try attending a Traditional Latin rite High mass...incense and heavenly choir music. As a Catholic, senior woman, my desire has always been to farm...do things the way God intended for man, but we are city dwellers. We had five homebirths (9 kids), breastfed, tried homeschooling and I garden and can. But there is so much more I would like to do at my age. It's nice to teach the next generation these traditions. I enjoy watching your family grow in all aspects of homesteading. Shawn and Beth are a great example as well.Thank you so much for showing a Catholic view of homesteading. God Bless!
WOW! This is so rich and so profound. I’m HERE for all this. The connection you made between the earthly and divine, work and worship, is powerful. Thank you for this glimpse into their life
How sweet it is ! Gardening draws one closer to our creator. One appreciates the bounty more, His Love, Kindness, the interconnectedness of sun, rain, soil, photosynthesis, decomposition, fungi, bacteria, labour, timing, animals, nature, exercise, the fresh air, family and peace; a good life. Justin, you and your family are a treasure to behold. God bless you all. Keep well and safe. Thanks.
How sweet. Some of my closest Catholic friends are the contemplative ones. Love this. Wish it was about twice as long, would have liked to have seen more.
I could watch this farm’s happenings every day. 💕❤️. Love your gentle,deep thought-provoking narration Justin. Your videos get better and better with more of a philosophical viewpoint.
I love this video. This is one I think I will rewatch several times over the next few days. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the life of this remarkable family.
Thanks for showing me that farm. Shawn and Beth are truly inspiring. We spoke with them briefly in VA this October. Their book is letting me know I have the right mindset🤙
JUSTIN!!!!! I LOVE THIS! The Mass is definitely supposed to be a taste of Heaven here. Two of my favorite things! Mass and Gardening!!!!! ❤️❤️😄 I love that you went there!!
What a treat to see our farm mentors, Beth and Shawn, at the very time that they are helping us lay out our new homestead. These folks are definitely children of The Most High. They are so good and we are so blessed to have them share their wisdom with us.
Wonderful Video Thank You! and Justin I sure do enjoy when you talk and tell stories. No silent movies for me! I can hear all the nature I need 24/7 right outside my door. My theory is the people who enjoyed your no talking video are desperate for nature in there life and they could hear some in your video. Those of us who have an abundance of nature in our life enjoy hearing you with the nature.
Thank you for introducing such a wonderful family 😊 my husband and I are also catholic and so glad to see another family practicing their faith and homesteading. My husband grew up on a farm a lot like theirs and it is beautiful. Would be such a blessing to have friends/mentors like them!
A religious community farm has smoke house, a playhouse, barn, outdoor kitchen, root cellar, cheese room, bbq area, etc…they have almost EVERYTHING, they just need some kids running around and living it up, how awesome! What a life!
You need to come spend a day at my little farm here in Suffolk Virginia. I have one nurse cow that I'm hand milking. 3.5 gallons a day if I can keep her 14 month old heifer off her.
I am confirming, but I believe the Father of Mercy Chapel is located in Toronto, Ohio and is associated with the Franciscan Sisters. They have a lovely website.
I just heard a sermon on Genesis 2:1-3 "So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it HOLY, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation." So every other day of creation God called good or very good, but the day He rested He called holy. Holiday is also derived from holy and we get time off of work. God considers rest holy. He said that there is a rest for the people of God. Rest stems from trust. When we stop worrying about our future and fretting about our past and just trust that God has it all under control. This is holy living!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Amen Justin, When My father was dying he said he was going to be a Shepard on hill in Heaven…So I believe we may be keepers of Gods Animals in Heaven, the lion and lamb will lay down together🙌🏻
Hi.... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐩🐕🐈🐑🐄🐖🐇🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
Hey Justin & fam. I can't seem to find y'all's email address at the moment. I wanted to reach out and ask about Art&Bri. I've noticed many comments on their YT with the same feelings and concerns as my own. I hope all is well & Will continue to pray for them. My family & I appreciate you, your hard, loving, passionate and dedicated work ethic. #REACHBEYONDSUCCESS
I liked the points you made. I’ve been struggling this year with everything. But I always try to remember that our first job in the garden was tending the garden and animal husbandry- all in God’s creation. That is why I believe it is so healing to us. It is just more difficult because we live in a fallen world.
I am Catholic.. thank you for reverently talking about the mass and our faith.. For me daily mass is the ability to communion with our Lord and Savior in the sacrifice of His actual Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.The mass is celebrate every day in the Catholic church (except Good Friday)and is the same Supper of Our Lord all over the world.
Wonderful family a good example of how to be Catholic. I was trilled when I saw this video and saw your family present at Mass. This is the only Church founded by Jesus. And two miracles take place at each mass. Only an ordain Catholic priest has the power to perform these miracles. The bread becomes the Body of Christ and the wine becomes His precious Blood. Not available in Protestant Churches. So we as Catholics must come to receive Him only IN the state of grace. We must go to confession if we have a mortal sin 1st, To regain Sanctifying Grace. Read John 6:54 "Unless you eat My Body and drink My Blood you have no life in you." God loves you and wants all to come to Him in the Mass. We should always realize that all comes from God and to say grace before meals and thanksgiving after meals. I Love your family. And Henry has grown so much. Your children are beautiful and so good. God has Blessed you Justin and Rebecca. You Could Be jumping with joy always . God bless you for this video in particular. By the way I really like the way you celebrate Birthdays, so fantastic.
Sean and Beth and family are amazing. He taught art for 25 years at Franciscan University which our children attended. They introduced regenerative ag in Oklahoma where my brother is a monk. The arms of mercy reach far and wide! Loved your reflections, Justin. You are gifted with words of wisdom.
Clear Creek Abby?
@@familyfirst8635 yes.
🕊🙏🏼♥️
That's wonderful. Fellow parishioners make regular visits. We pray for the monks in our daily Family Rosary.
@@familyfirst8635 That’s so great. We will visit in July with 14 of the grandchildren. The monks have been a Grace in too many numerous ways to count.
Justin, this was the BEST Vlog ever!
Giving Glory to God in all one's works, joy & sufferings.

The Mass is not only a commemoration; it is a living representation of the sacrifice of the cross.
Unless you eat the flesh of Christ, you will not have life within you! Quite a bold bible verse
The Mass is the Sacrifice of the New Law in which Christ, through the ministry of the Priest, offers Himself to God in an unbloody manner under the appearances of bread and wine.
Deo Gracias🙏
As a catholic I truly appreciate you doing this and showing the true side of the church and it’s people. Thank you mr Rhodes
As a Catholic I also was appreciative of showing our Church bringing the Kingdom to Earth.
Yes!!!
Well said. This indeed is a great example of who Catholics are.
Amen! Keeping the Catholic Faith as CA refugees in East TX. If you're ever in our neck of the woods we have a large community that would be beside themselves to be able host y'all! May God bless you always Rhodes Family🙏
I'm in N TX and wish I could find some Catholic homesteaders. I guess I'm too close to the city.
THIS IS SO COOL!!! I love how you "keep an open mind" and implicitly encourage your viewers to do the same.

The mass is the main reason my family joined the Catholic Church last year! What a beautiful way to present such a beautiful truth.
This is one of my new favorite episodes you’ve produced Justin and team. I like the openness, transparency and depth of these truths.
Thank you
@@theJustinRhodesShow You’re welcome
Live the Mass! This family does it best. Thanks for sharing your lovely time with them!
I love your surname, any relative to the famous Archbishop?
Thank you, Justin! Beautifully done…from the heart of a homeschooling, homesteading Catholic Mama!
WOW! This is so rich and so profound. I’m HERE for all this. The connection you made between the earthly and divine, work and worship, is powerful.
Thank you for this glimpse into their life
This is probably one of my most favorite episodes yet. Been following for 7 or 8 years now. Very inspirational!

I love when you interview all the different farms!
Wow, after reading through all the comments, this video really touched a lot of people, well done. I loved it too.
I love this video. This is one I think I will rewatch several times over the next few days. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the life of this remarkable family.

Great video! The catholic faith give so much meaning to life.
You need to come spend a day at my little farm here in Suffolk Virginia. I have one nurse cow that I'm hand milking. 3.5 gallons a day if I can keep her 14 month old heifer off her.
Where in Suffolk are you located? My grandparents farm is in Suffolk as well.
Thanks for sharing & Happy 4th y'all🇺🇸👍❤🤗
Thank you
Wow, I love the deep thoughts in this video!
This touched my soul. Thank you Justin.
Their cows looked healthier than alot of the cows we see,
It's hard to work in ac and come home to no ac!
The Dougherty's, monastery farm, chapel and sisters are well loved.
Would love to visit there ... where are they located ...
I am confirming, but I believe the Father of Mercy Chapel is located in Toronto, Ohio and is associated with the Franciscan Sisters. They have a lovely website.
Love love love this!!💜
oh how beautiful! What a great example of the Holy family. Perseverance. Oh that cheese was beautiful!
I am Eastern Orthodox. Thanks for this video.
Real people living a real life, how inspiring is that
Loved the blog…. Thanks
did you watch Jess yesterday? she had a good message.
I’m just so I spired by these two! I want to be as buff as Beth someday and I’m a 35 year old man 😂
Thanks for doing this. This is great.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Long time subscriber here.

LOVE this!
Amazing!!!
Now I want to know what a monastery farm is. this is so interesting.
Thanks be to God. +JMJ+
You can definitely find Jesus on the farm! His beauty is everywhere 💖
Wow Beautiful Video.
I love this! My cow would have a fit without her snack though lol
So lovely!!
Is it possible to 'intern' with them to learn more about the way they do things and worship??
There are sanctuaries that truly exults us!

Lovely!
So inspiring!!!
I Love the Root Cellar 🥰
Are the Doughertys on the abundance plus content?
I wanna cut one of those cheese wheels open, I am sure that would taste amazing.
As a cheese maker I was drooling over that cheese.
Interesting. Where I am from the mangelwurzel is fodder for cows and pigs. Never heard of it being eaten by people.
From their blog, the Doughertys use it as animal feed.
@@MarieAchee Thank you.
Hi Rhodes family.
Good day I am watching u from Jamaica I am a big fan of ur family. I be watching u from about 3 years. God bless u and ur family
Do they have a channel?
No
How amazing 🤩 Looks like such a nice life. Completely opposite of mine. Where is that farm/monetary?
OH
Justin - was that the first Mass you have attended? What did you think about it?
Yes
@@theJustinRhodesShow Justin, Rebekah, thank you so much for coming to mass with us.
AWESOME video A+
Cool!

I find it funny that within 2 mins of his vlog being out it has more views then one of my vlogs have ever got. Lol
