Wow! . . . This is was so exhilarating!. . . I am a former Catholic, now Episcopalian who is slowly making his way "home." This ministry is taking the "slowly" out of my current journey and I am now jogging and running back. For me, finding this ministry is a "Godsend." I am a fulltime caregiver for our special needs adult son. Life is a challenge for my wife and I as we move into our senior years. You mention that one should look for an "older wiser" Christian to use as a mentor. . . That works, but God can also make it work the other way around. . . You are obviously much younger than I. Nevertheless, you are bringing me back into the true Orthodox Roman Catholic Church and I so appreciate your "youthful" mentorship!
I am speech less, but I can say: This is more than informative video, but very inspirational. Thank you for making the effort and share your message. God bless you.
This is a wonderful, captivating, clever, sometimes funny exposition on living a holy, Catholic life. It’s a cumulus cloud of refreshing inspirational graces and guidance just waiting to rain down upon you.
Not to take anything away from what you said, I have a different perspective on having a personal relationship with Jesus. Through baptism we have a relationship with God the Father as sons and daughters (for those who need the inclusive language) and a relationship as brothers (and sisters) with Jesus. For me, the personal relationship is one as family, not friends. And since the Trinity is the model of family, I have a familiar relationship with the Holy Spirit that I don't have similes/metaphors to describe, but just as real. Prayer then becomes talking to a family member, not just a list of petitions. In Christ's love.
Sir, wow, thank you. Sitting down at my computer to casually watch this video has unexpectedly become a spiritually moving experience. I'm humbled to have watched it so soon after Holy Week, which always recharges my batteries for another year of God's work. My cup runneth over. I can't say thank you enough for sharing your wisdom. Wow! What a video.
This is excellent, as all your work is. I was only surprised that, teaching as a Catholic, you did not stress not only one more but one fundamental way Catholics can have the deepest form of a personal relationship with Jesus, namely, in and through His Real Presence in the Eucharist. May I suggest another video about just this topic, as a complement to this one. That said, keep up the good work, and thanks!
(Paused at 4:32) When I hear both teacher and master. I connect it to servant leadership where we express love (agape) in both the highest responsibility to lead people while also serving them. The intersection that binds master and friend is to show love to the other person. I also believe this is also expressed in the foundation of spiritual unions like marriage or pursuit of holiness. To lead others is to also sacrifice for them. This is a great talk Ted.
Terrific explanation 👌Thank you!
As a child I thought of Jesus as a big brother, as I am a child of God and He’s the son of God therefore my Brother!

Somehow this video won’t load past the 4 minute mark
“...you spend time together. How do you do that with Christ, who - if you haven’t noticed - is now in Heaven?” Lol 😂
