God bless you now and forever with His choicest blessings. What a beautiful role model. We need more Godly fathers to teach their children to be respectful and reverent to God and others.
I’m glad you are a father and not a priest, because today’s young fathers need a role model. It is obvious the Holy Spirit speaks trough you.Thank you.Im learning a lot from you.
Daddy you take Joseph to daily Mass? Wow! Awesome role model for Catholic children. If only Christian fathers were like this young man, there wild not be so many man-made churches. DEAR MEN, you are the head of the family, so accept this authority from God Most High & exercise your authority & ladies please take one step back.
God bless u and family. my life changed from alcoholism to faithful while I was attending a Sunday Mass on June 2016 and from that until today I never missed a daily mass , i start my day at 4am get ready to attend the daily mass. Catholic be proud and never miss an opportunity to attend a mass. Ave Maria
Claire, thank you for your prayers. I appreciate them greatly! Yes, I have a lot more videos on the way. I will also be integrating family life and practices into most of the videos. I think it is important to have holy habits. God bless you! Be a Saint!
The way he's sensing everything! Such inoccence 😄 Thank the Lord there are children that being raised under his name and will! ❤ I love thinking that I may raise a child one day. Gifts of God. :)
This is the truth. We are sending messages that God's house is nothing more than a playground. At our church, kids are running in and out during the entire mass. There's chaos there, instead of peace. We had to find another church where the Latin Mass was being said. Much more reverent. Thank you for this video.
I have noticed when attending the TLM... that there are more children and the baby voices are a welcome sound. I have also noticed that my daughter Gemma always falls asleep at the TLM... I think it is the peace she feels and the beautiful chanting.
This is officially my favorite TH-cam video of all time! I have four children and I practice many of your suggestions already, but I have also learned much from this video. Thank you for posting! Peace be with your family!
PRAISE GOD! Ann you are raising the future Saints of the Church! I do have some videos on helpful tips for Catholic parenting in a pagan world. Please feel free to comment there or anywhere with helpful tips. God bless you and your family!
So I'm not married...I don't have kids yet either. I can only hope my future husband is like you! I wish I had this much catechism knowledge when I was his age! I can admit to sometimes playing with toys in a crying room that the church stocked with toys. Your videos are always so great, and powerful. They open my eyes to ways I can grow or things I wish I was doing..or should do.
This is wonderful. My son is two years old and this is helpful. Although we do 'toys'. We have a special mass bag for mass only. Same with shoes and clothes. He knows that when we have out special clothes on we have to behave and before going in we talk about whisper voices. The whole time we will whisper what is happening. Plus in that bag is fun. We have rosaries, a coloring book, and pencils. the book has images I drew for him and he will 'draw' what is happening. this helps him feel like he is part of it all. If he acts really bad we go to the basement. Its not a lets run and play time but he sits still. we hold him down. so he has two choices. 1)sit being held down or, 2) sit up in the pews and hear the stories and learn. he prefers number 2. :)
Love it! When my child was a baby, I refused to use the cry room because parents allowed kids to play with their toys. You are absolutely right they learn by example and it is a process. It takes a lot of patience, love and guidance. My son is 8 years old now and soon will be making his 1st Holy Communion. I now see other kids with electronics devices during mass and still wonder why haven't they learned to participate in mass. I also read in one of your comments we could share this info in the Church Website or bulletin, another great idea!!! God Bless
Such a cute little guy !!! I have a 5 Month old, I am 56, He is my grand nephew. Foster baby. I want to bring him up Catholic. He goes to Mass every Sunday with us. God Bless you all.
Amazing, This is what every parent need to do and should watch this video with their children... I will gather a group and share this video.. Thank you Gabriel you truly are a blessing to millions out there...
This is just a wonderful video. I so wish I would have done better with my boys. I hope God will help my family in the areas I let them down. God bless you always Gabriel. You always touch my heart.
I love this!!! God bless you to continue being a wonderful father and instilling these values. We need fathers that encourage Catholic Christian generations. 💚💚💚
Thank you Gabriel for being a good spiritual instructor to your kids. This video may help many of our Catholic parents to bringing up our Catholic children in the Catholic Faith. Great work and thank to your little Joseph for being a docile!
Awwwww❤️💕🌸💕❤️💕🌸💕❤️ HE IS SO ADORABLE!!!! I love him so much😍 I have have over a dozen little cousins and he is like a cluster of cuties mushed together😍!
Praise God. Children are capable of understanding so much about the faith. We must teach them by example and take the time to regularly talk about all aspects of the faith.
GabiAfterHours Amen!!! I still don't know if I am called to the married life yet, but this is what I want to do with my children if I ever have any. ♡ God bless your family!!!!
I remember growing up my dad taught me not to eat and play during mass as well.. the problem was the other parents always gave their kids cookies and let them play (probably to keep them quiet) so i always thought my dad was too strict. But now i totally understand..
May God bless all your family and you and Mama Mary enlighten you too.I pray that my future husband can be as consagrate or more to have a holy family. To Christ our lord. Amen.
Bring your kidz 2 mass when they're young and impressionable and particularly receptive to God's grace! ! I love this! If I had kids they'd B at daily mass with me every day! I used to take daycare to mass daily at my last job. Alot of work but so rewarding !
With a family of 6 children, my folks always had us sit in the front row. Fewer distractions. :D Also, when my children were young, I'd hold my babies up facing the alter during the consecration of the eurcharist, and I'd whisper into their ear, this is the important part of mass. Children get it....
This is so good! I like your patience and understanding with your boy. I'm new to your channel and enjoying it. I agree that even very little children can successfully attend Mass. Thanks for reminding people not to inflict pain on children while they are learning important things like this.
Thank you, we play this video every week before going to mass. I do a lot of the things you mentioned with my child at mass,and she is making improvements all the time. However I'd like to mention that there are some circumstances which are different, and need to be taken into consideration. My child has disabilities, and is Autistic, so for her, it's a bit harder than for other kids, so we need to make allowances for them, on the grounds of their disability and more limited abilities and understanding. I bring this up because I'm sure there are other parents out there with a child who has disabilities like Autism, who are more challenging, and I wanted to address this for them and let them know they are not alone, and that it's okay to make allowances for them, as there is often no other way. For her it is necessary that I bring something along for her to do at mass, so as she has something to focus on otherwise we struggle more with her, however we limit them and make these church related, such as bringing Catholic coloring in books, we have for her a plush Mama Mary doll for her to hold onto if she needs a bit of comfort, I also printed out some catholic bingo cards and turned them into a picture matching game, and found some basic catholic activities and puzzles she can do, that way when she needs to be occupied doing something in order to remain quiet, and not agitated, she at least is doing things that are catholic and church related. I also have for her a soft plush toy church with people and a priest inside, and also a soft plush nativity set for her to play with during the season of Advent. God Bless.
Both my children did very well at Mass. They were 10 years apart, so the older one was by herself for a long while. I don’t think I brought them to Mass before they were 3, because my husband was not a believer at that time, and so he stayed at home until I knew he could do well, which was about 3 years of age. In no time at all he was able to lead a decade of the Rosary with my Legion of Mary group. This was super good because we didn’t have family Rosary. I know young children can be taught with love, patience, and consistency. God bless you.
Dear Gab... you are such a role model... please continue with more videos like this... also family centric ones... this video really needs to be shown at retreats!!
This is gold. Look how adorable Joseph was back then, and how he is an obedient and prudent young man now. You are an inspiration to a lot of parents, Gabe.
Bravo! Fabulous Parenting Skills!! Way to go Gabe! Joseph is such a good young man!! Now all his brothers and sisters can follow in his footsteps.. You guys crack me up! The kid's a little genius! He's so adorable I want to squeeeeze him silly 💋💋
Thank you sir! Excellent video. Your son is adorable. My wife and I have two daughters (5 and 6) and they often accompany me to daily Mass. This video was tremendously helpful and encouraging. God bless your family. Mary, Mother of Jesus, be a mother to us now.
Thank you for caring enough about your son, others in the congregation and most importantly, God, to teach your child to be respectful so others may worship too. So many parents don't bother anymore and Mass sounds more like a daycare center then a place of worship.
Another home run! This is actually an issue for a lot of parents with young kids. The inconsistency from different parishes of proper child behavior at Mass makes it a confusing situation. One thing you did not address that I am curious about is the wife taking kid A and B to one mass and the father taking kids C and D to another to help improve their behavior. I thought I remember from Story of the Soul, St Therese of Lisieux's family doing this when she was too young.
Help! You mentioned why "prayer hands" are better than clasping your fingers around 5:30 in your video, but I can't seem to find the video that you referred to to explain this concept more fully. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

This is fantastic! What a beautiful child you have. Love the name Joseph too :)
Thank you! To be different we spell it Josef. That is how Pope Benedict spelled his name before he was pope.
This little guy must be about 12 years old now❤️
He's probably a joy to his parents.
So I'm not married...I don't have kids yet either. I can only hope my future husband is like you! I wish I had this much catechism knowledge when I was his age!

ask the holy spirit or/and virgin mary; pray for your future husband. God bless!

This was helpful too; I will incorporate the special Mass Bag and Clothes; Thanks
¡Congratulations & I do the same with my 2 young daughters , they actively participate & enjoy the greatness of The Holy Mass. GOD Bless you.

When I'll be a father someday, I will try to be like him. God bless you always sir.
Joseph is too precious. He's blessed to have you two as parents. Keep up the good work, Gabi. God bless you.

You, sir, are an excellent father. Mad props to you your child!
God bless you!
Thanks! Jesus is proud of you & will reward you.
Joseph is awesome and you are obviously a father with the warmth, integrity and faith to raise him in the fear of the Lord.
Cute boy and very good listener.
good Job!sir..u r so good dad.GBU.
This is wonderful! You should make more videos together!
Josef is awesome, he should have his own Christian channel! :)
Maybe when he is older, but for now he needs to focus on prayer and being a happy little boy.
He is smarter than most grownups unfortunately.
Thank you mate. Greeting from Indonesia.
This is gold. Look how adorable Joseph was back then, and how he is an obedient and prudent young man now. You are an inspiration to a lot of parents, Gabe.
You two are so sweet together. Your wife must be proud ;) God bless your family.
Nice to see father and son
So beautiful!
Wow, very positive and holy role model for all the fathers. God bless your families. I wish there are a lot more this type of father in America. 👍
Your son is adorable and you are an excellent father to bring them up in the Word of the Lord. Praise God for your example!
Cuteness overloaded 😍😍😘😘..God bless him
Thanks for your videos. God bless you and your family.
God bless you and your family Sir Gab!❤🙏👏

Beautiful video !
I love taking children to mass!
Amen..
so great...

May God bless you more and more 🙏😇🤗
Joseph (Son): Am I on television?
Gabi (Dad) Yes, kind of. This is TH-cam television. 😁
Thank you for caring enough about your son, others in the congregation and most importantly, God, to teach your child to be respectful so others may worship too. So many parents don't bother anymore and Mass sounds more like a daycare center then a place of worship.
4:56 ...Now let daddy finish fast, okay....😁
Wowww, your such a good father,,,i'd loved it.😇i wish all dad will be like you, specially my husband.👼👍👍👍
I hope I can teach my future kids just like you do with your son...

God will continue to straighten you and your family. I love this how I wish all family should imitate.

You should do more videos with your son! I really enjoy them and are a good way to learn what to do when I have kids.
Thanks for all the helpfull advice!
This is amazing!! Thank you for the advise;
