Please pray for me that through these 40 days of lent I will be able to regain back full and eternal Faith, love, trust, obedience, confidence, devotion, and believe that I will be able to get through the battlefield of spiritual warfare defeat the bad thoughts that I can’t control, keep my eyes on the cross and not on the distractions of the world, not feeling doubt when praying, keep the helmet of hope and the 🛡of Faith with me, and like last year but this time keep the faith and hope to my last breath. Giving up Instagram and Junk food. Plz pray for me that I will stay with Him and always need him in comfort in the desert.
If you can't do all that for yourself then you should not be allowed to get on-line. You will just be a big head ache to all the normal people. Who paid for your computer?
I will stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer with you in this spiritual battle . St Michael the archangel defend us battle. Queen of the most holy rosary pray for us. Viva Cristo Rey and our lady of GUADALUPE!!!!
I love the idea of carrying gift cards to fast food restaurants. I can’t afford a lot but I am Blessed to give a small gift card to those that have less than myself. God bless you all.
I started my fast today....keep me in your prayers that God gives me strength that I move on my fasting with no food, and open my eyes on His will in my life.
This should have been made during the present lockdown. Its been since 12 March of quarantine in the Philippines. 43 days already of our own individual deserts with jesus. I pray for the whole world that we be rid of this pandemic and arise anew and better people.
An excellent course is Dr. Sri's A Biblical Walk Through The Mass. This book got me to attend daily Mass. And the Mass brought me closer to Christ and all that is said here in this video. Still, I have a ways to go.
🙏📖🕊💛🙏, prayers for families in need, and crisis. Praying for the ones that are facing trauma, domestic violence, abuse, rejection, abandonment, praying for the ones that have no family/no friends/no body that will give a hug, or no one to pray with. Loneliness, emptiness, rejection. Just Jesus Christ can understand. In the Presence of the Holy Spirit I pray. Amen 🙏📖🕊💛🙏, Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good in difficult times and knows those who trust in Him. Amen 📖🕊🙏
Did you know my friend, with just a little bit of rain and moisture the elements will be just superb for the vegetation to bring up and come forth even in the desert my friend parts condition are due to the lack of moisture
Your voice is so soothing. I hope you do podcasts or audiobooks or something like that. I don't like when the camera angle changes to catch the light though. It hurts my eyes somehow.
He does do podcasts! It's called "All Things Catholic by Dr. Edward Sri". They're short but very rich in knowledge and info. I love listening to it on the way to work.
Love this!!!! Could Ascension Presents do a video about what is considered appropriate to wear to Mass?? Are jeans considered okay and respectful enough, or not?
Leah, just ask yourself if how you are dressing contributes to the reverence and solemnity of receiving our Lord. Don't worry about what other people are wearing or thinking. It's your heart you are giving to our Lord, and His you are receiving. Dress for that moment. :-)
Jesus could have come dressed as a king wearing fancy clothes he didn't he walked around as a pauper, I really dont think he cares what you wear to church it's what you have in your heart that counts
I tried searching on line for the answer to this and didn't find it. The question is 'Did Jesus spend His 40 days in the dessert immediately before He entered into Jerusalem to be crucified?' (Some crucifixes show Jesus with His bones visible and very emaciated. I was wondering if that is because the artist was showing the reality of Jesus fast in the desert. The other thing I thought was that the artist was showing that Jesus gave so much... gave His all, and making the point by showing a complete drained and emaciated Jesus on the cross). So was Jesus fast right before Good Friday? The reason was because I wondered how Jesus was able to endure for so long the trauma of beatings and crucifixion for as long as He did. Pilot was surprised that Jesus died so quickly. It seems to me how Did He last as long as He did as opposed to dying quickly? Details such as this cause me to believe more strongly the things that the bible tells us. He died quickly because He was weakened from His fast. These details show that the story could not have been made up. How would the writers have thought all of these details without slipping up.
It is wonderful you are following the ministry of Jesus. Most authors put the 40 days in the desert as just preceding his public ministry (matt 4:1-13). However, regading your other questions, there are many things that we will not know before heaven. Even scripture tells us that the Gospels have things that were left out (John 21:25). However, one can be sure of the truth of the gospels, as Paul recounts later about the resurrection, "next he appeared to more than 500 of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are STILL ALIVE..." (1 Corinthians 15:7), which would have been an easily disproven fact (and embarrassing to Paul) if not true.
My friend You're Luke warm -We should be praying ALL the time. We should be speaking to God more than we speak to ourselves. - Lent Friday? Wednesday? We suppose to lent 40 DAYS . NOT JUST FRIDAY. You fostering the profit marketing seafood devil's game. And you should give up something you seek enjoyment thru. Because the only enjoyment we should seek is of Christ . The Desert paints a scene with minimal distractions, No background chatter. Just the sky , wind and sand. No camouflage.
Pray: In the name of Jesus, I renounce hatred, anxiety and confusion, and I break it's power over me. Come Holy Spirit and fill my heart with love, peace and clarity.
My brother in Christ, maybe you are already doing this but I figure it’s worth a shot. Go to Mary! Consecrate yourself and be devoted to her! She is our kind and gentle mother and I can assure you that she will never abandon you and she will help you. She will lead you with loving maternal care to the peace and love of her son Jesus. If you faithfully persevere under her care she WILL transform your life. Remember what Christ said from the cross; “Behold thy mother.” Our Lady of Fatima requested that all Catholics pray the rosary daily, offer the sacrifices of our daily lives for the conversion of sinners, obey divine law to stop offending our Lord, and make the five First Saturdays in reparation to her Immaculate Heart. If you do this it will change your life, it certainly changed mine.
Charity/Almsgiving is outward expression of what is in your heart. Whatever is causing hatred, anxiety, or confusion, we need to figure out how to spread love, peace, and order. God can help with that. Sometimes it is a gentle nudge to talk or ask questions about something that bothers you, we have to look at the story of Finding Jesus in the Temple at Age 12 as a stepping stone to how we must grow in our own hearts.

Away and stop talking your self righteous nonsense. All your 'Lent' does is gratify the flesh and is just religious twisting of scripture to make the sinner 'feel' better.
Smeaton Lighthouse: so, like the Israelites, God rescues us from sin as he removed them from Egypt. And yet, the Israelites still contained a love for sin and idolatrous worship (ex. Golden Calf Episode). As they traveled through the desert, the Lord had to purge them of their fleshly desires and of their love for sin. He strengthened their will to choose the good. Fasting doesn’t satisfy the flesh but rather does quite the opposite. Just like intermittent fasting, you actually aren’t gratifying your flesh, but learning to submit your passions and desires for food to your will. You aren’t enslaved to your hunger. As we fast, we, like Christ himself-who fasted from both food and drink for 40 days and told us to fast-detach from things that can overshadow our love for God. It is a great season in which we can die to ourselves, that we may all the more rejoice in his resurrection! Hope this helps!
I'm not sure what tradition you are from-- since the scripture is loaded with talk about fasting, I'll assume you think we are some sort of crazy religious people that give up things to make us feel better. A perhaps practical thing you might see in fasting and 'giving up' is this. As a physician i take care of a lot of people who have little money. I find that living a simple life with lots of prayer and fasting makes me much more psychologically available than I would if I drove the typical doctor cars and lived a wealthy lifestyle (and this has nothing to do with how 'good' I am). Patients often keep coming to me just because I listen to them and understand, perhaps how not having a lot affects the way you look at the world. Not sure if that helps, but I tried. Peace
George Canvin Very odd. I’ve seen him in person and he is incredibly authentic and dynamic. I’m not sure what you mean by poor elocution.

Don't forget there is poverty in ALL ways ... including spiritual, mental, emotional .....

Keep doing it.
Pray: In the name of Jesus, I renounce hatred, anxiety and confusion, and I break it's power over me. Come Holy Spirit and fill my heart with love, peace and clarity.
