Hi from the UK... Since I retired last summer I set myself a challenge to try to attend Mass daily.... As I live in a small town where... because of Priest shortages... Mass is only celebrated twice a week I have to take a bus to the nearest city.... a 2 hour round trip... The church that I attend is situated in a run down inner city and is quite large but in a very poor area and although it was undoubtedly a magnificent building back in the day it is looking a little tired and worse for wear structurally speaking... However.... there is a warmth and piety from these Parishioners which touches me deeply.. I can't explain it but I just feel in my heart that the Holy Spirit is alive and well and working his magic in that church. ..
Such a solid, faithful man of God! I know that I can trust him to be kind, even tempered and faithful to the teaching of the Church. During these times, more valuable resource than ever. Thank you for continuing these talks for us laypeople to listen and learn!
I love the comfort Dr. Ralph Martin brings to me. I am one of those people who began to really distrust my Pope, Bishops, and Priests. That can lead many people astray. For me, I don't doubt my Catholic faith, or the true fact that this is our Lord's Church. So what I chose to do, considering that I can't control any of these things that are happening, was to give it all over to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They will protect what needs to be protected, and loose what needs to be loosed. My job is to become a Saint, not to manage the Church. Jesus, I trust in You! ❤
Peter, thank you for this interview with Dr. Martin. It is so helpful to have this kind of clarity and reinforcement of some of our most basic Catholic teachings. I sometimes contemplate how 12 apostles has grown to a billion because there was no ambiguity and the early Christians were willing to die rather than compromise the truth. Please God that we would be such Christians.
Reading the hours of the passion daily by Luisa Picerretta is mind blowing, to see the immense love Jesus has for us, thirsting for more suffering in order to save souls pleading that His Fathers Will be done. Thank you Ralph for your inspiring videos.
God bless Ralph Martin and this wonderful interviewer too. Ralph Martin is the most humble, saintly evangelist walking the earth at this important time in church and world history. We are all blessed by your mission.
Dr. Martin is a true and real prophet, even though he is uncomfortable with that description of his ministry. Thank God for his faithfulness, his perseverance, his love of God and His people.
Excellent interview! Ralph, of course, deserves all the kudos he receives, but I also wanted to complement the interviewer, Pete, for the good questions. I want to comment on one particular exchange in regards to liturgy and liturgical styles. I thought Ralph's thoughts on the topic were quite well said. I'm definately a more traditional Catholic and really appreciate the latin mass and other traditional devotions. But, I can't tell you the number of conversations I've had with supposedly serious and orthodox Catholics expressing hostility and even outright bigotry towards their fellow Christians in regards to liturgical styles and their supposed deficiencies. As Catholics, any time the tabernacle is present is an ineffibly sublime mystery no matter the perceived lack of liturgical purity or the banality of the church building. I've always enjoyed visiting new churches and experiencing different expressions of the liturgy based on local customs and culture. As long as the core dogmas of the Church are respected and an attempt is made to be faithful to the common liturgy, we should celebrate the diversity of the Church rather than fear it. Thank you, Ralph, for reminding us of this.
