As a Cowboys fan that joke really caught me off guard 😂
Same lol
This was SO good! Well played, well played!
Joke?
I don’t even watch football, and it still caught me off guard.
Me too brother 😅
In case you wonder if your ministry online is working,
Not too long ago I stumbled across one of your videos. Now I chose a Parish and I'm doing confession and get to do rcia! 12 or so years since I left catholicism.
I messaged on Twitter about it but you didn't see. Thank you for letting God work through you
This is amazing, I was raised catholic but didn't practice and did my RCIA in my 20's. No matter where you are in life, he will find you at your time and when your ready! Peace be with you 🕊️✌️💓
Human beings have always wanted and tried to save themselves from their own sins and earn their own eternal salvation. It is part of our sinful nature to do so. But there is no amount of human good works that could ever satisfy the demands of perfect holiness before YHWH because we “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). But Jesus, The Christ, was SINLESS and He satisfied all the demands of perfect righteousness. So He shed His own blood and died for our sins in order to redeem us. Then He rose from the dead and victoriously offered that glorious gift of eternal life to anyone and everyone who believes in Him and His promise to give us this gift. Hallelujah, What a Savior!! AND NOW we are FREE in Christ - at LIBERTY to LOVE OTHERS!
Shalom
As a teacher-to-be I can really say, recess is a must, we get taught to not punish children by taking away their recess. They need it, I need it. Loved this video! Rules we all can use
Father Casey … did you like this comment because of your own confirmation bias? 😛
As a special ed teacher for 34 years who has recently retired, I am so GLAD to see young teachers being taught NOT to take away recess for misbehavior. There are so many other ways to “make things right.” ❤️
Out of interest what are they teaching as a good way to discipline rowdy kids these days? When I was growing up they just threatened to call your parents and that put the fear in you
Rule #9: going out of the house look at the sky. Coming back to the house, look at the sky. It gives me a feeling of freedom and absolutely beautiful moments: incredible sunrise, strange cloud formation, colorful sunset, rainbow, threatening clouds, raindrops coming at my face, lightning and thunder...you name it. Somebody asked me once, when I was sitting outside, just looking at the sunset, what I was doing. I told him that I was looking at a gift for me. He did not get it, so I explained that since I was the only person admiring it right now, I know that the Almighty created it just for me and it is His gift for me. I do appreciate and thank Him for those gifts that a lot of people miss in their big hurry.
@@jr3124 You should not stare directly at the sun. It's bad for your eyes. If you look at the sun through the telescope, it's bad for your brain.
Someone paints the sky everyday
You are so right about not taking away recess! I worked with a brilliant kindergarten teacher who started school with a half hour of recess. When the kids finally sat down, they were no longer "full of ants" but, instead, they were ready to work. Those kids were so eager to work and they accomplished so much that the kindergarten teacher was named "teacher of the year" for a large California county. The teacher understood kids and it showed!
"Always return the shopping cart" feels closely related to the lesson I took away from my dad, over and over-"Leave a place better than you found it." Usually said about putting his tools away in the garage, but true when leaving a job, a building, anything!
Definitely some good thoughts through here for sure!
😡😡😡 I NEVER return the shopping cart..NEVER…but I’ve started to…because of you! THANK YOU ✌️👍
God was so concerned that His people would neglect relaxation that He mandated a day of rest.
This is the John 3:16 for Pharisees
Father Casey, about the shopping carts. Here’s another perspective. I don’t take them back, because I use them for walkers. I have a respiratory condition which is aggravated by walking. I also have severe arthritis in one hip which makes walking painful and difficult. I park in the handicap spots (with a hanger on my mirror). I rejoice whenever I see a cart left near the handicap spots, that I can use as a walker to lean on going into the store, as well as doing my shopping, and to get me back out to my car. I have even told the boys and girls who collect the carts to please leave one or two near the handicap spots for those of us who use them as aids. I’m not the only one. No, I don’t use the electric carts, preferring to leave those for the ones worse off than me. But you should know that it’s not always selfishness or laziness that doesn’t return the carts.
So true that when facing something evil, moderation is the wrong answer. It made me think of a time I was in an abusive relationship and sometimes got stuck on thinking "shouldn't I try to see things his way and compromise?" But when someone is abusing you, there is no middle ground.
I am a catholic from India. From the moment I chanced upon this secular video, thanks to TH-cam's recommendation feed, I have been watching through your playlists. Your videos need to be redone with voice overs in major languages including major Indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malyalam, etc because your teachings are universal and clarify misgivings about an universal faith.
"All we have, is right now".... words of wisdom.
Fr. Casey has helped me build, rebuild, strengthen, and develop a personal relationship with God. It’s not perfect but it has helped me become a better person and continue to improve myself.
Really like rule 2. Wish more people would behave this way. What a better world this would be.
“the Dallas Cowboys…” 😂 Thanks, Father Casey. I now have a piece of potato chip permanently wedged in my sinus cavity.
One extra one from me... Strive to understand why others may disagree with you. You don't have to ever agree with them, however you should try to understand why they feel the way they do. The extra insight could allow you to change your action for the better, and perhaps sofen the harm you may have to do on someone else.
Yeah totally agree. Not only does it give you an opportunity to discover if you're wrong, but it also stops you from viewing their disagreement as a personal attack on you and allows you to understand the other person's misunderstand so that you can potentially correct them.
Ironically, I have disagreed with Fr. Casey on a number of things and he and I both could benefit from this advice.
Very true!
Ever since I see your video about confession problem.. I started to watch all your videos.. and I'm really glad that during my darkness hour.. I met a franciscan friar... I'm a volunteer catechist and now processing my application to be a full catechist in a catechetical institution I really hope this can be my door to start the missionary life.
“Always return the shopping cart” is a bit of a pet peeve of mine - and not in the way that it usually is for people.
At the start of the pandemic, I injured my right leg and was hospitalized twice. During one hospital stay, prior to being eligible for vaccination, I contracted COVID, after which I suffered ongoing side effects for nine months. I continue to try to rehabilitate from both things.
Often these past two years, I have taken a cart while shopping, primarily for support and stability. I have wheeled it to my car and left it there, because I was exhausted, in pain, and unsure whether I would be able to return to my car without holding on to it. I feel terrible, but hope that people will be understanding, rather than assume that I am lazy or inconsiderate, and perhaps return it on my behalf. Sometimes, an abandoned cart gets abandoned for a good reason.
Secondly - my autistic brother used to work at a department store. One of his jobs throughout each shift was to go out to the parking lot and collect the carts. I asked him if he found it inconsiderate when people did not return their carts or if he liked the opportunity to go outside in the fresh air for longer while collecting them from all corners of the parking lot. He told me that it did not matter either way to him. However, it was obvious that he derived a great sense of purpose from this task, because he was necessary to both the store and its customers. Although he no longer works there, I always wonder about the person who must collect those carts when I go shopping, whether or not I return mine.
“What a world it would be, if we just shut up for 30 minutes.” 😂 The way you said that, made me laugh.
Love this video!
Good rules Father Casey, thank you. Returning the shopping cart - Yes! In this small gesture of kindness, we set an example, help hardworking, often minimum waged employees as well as helping to restock carts for other shoppers. One small act helps so many. Another kind act, if you are heading to the store and see someone has just finished unloading their shopping cart, offer to take their cart back for them. You’re going there anyway and your kind gesture to them may lead them to do something kind for another.
The wisdom you got for such a young man. Amazing! Must be from God
I am a clinical audiologist and also teach both undergraduate and graduate students about my profession. One lecture was pretty rowdy--students were upset about something and weren't paying much attention to lecture. I reminded them that we were given two ears and only one mouth for a reason...that listening was far more important than speaking. Needless to say, it got quiet in my classroom, and I listened to what my students needed.
Thank you for your insights on this and every video.
I can’t argue with any of these. The “return the shopping cart” is a version of “Be aware of the work you leave for others” that I have observed through my adult life (was a bit of a jerk as a teenager, and feel bad about that).
Wow, that silence was much needed, such a gift, golden!!! Thank you for that rule!!🙏❤
When you mentioned the Dallas Cowboys, I (as a Buffalo Bills fan) had to stop the video to laugh for a good five minutes before I could continue. As always I love this content, even though I am not a Catholic (Protestant but went to a Franciscan focused HS). Very well said - especially about the Cowboys (hahah)! God bless.
Thank you Fr Casey, this is excellent. Returning the shopping cart (or trolley as we'd say in England) is a principal I have tried to live by and encourage others to follow all my adult life, and I believe it is a great response to the sense of entitlement we unfortunately see from many in the world. There was some good challenge in these for me too, especially living in the here and now rather than being too focused on the future.
This has been good to listen to. Lots of good, sound, practical wisdom to live by.
Good video Father Cole. Peace and blessings on you, your ministry, and those who contribute, unseen, essential, necessary, beloved.
Yet another wonderful video, Fr Casey! I felt like I’m already living by some of those rules and am open to adopting most of the others but boy, Rule #8 is a huge challenge…
One of your best. and the fact that you explain why you feel that way makes people campanulate which is a rare gift
Thank you for being inclusive and offering hope.
Great video post, Father Casey ... I agree with all of your rules. As for myself, I have found that when I am with a group of other people, be it in a formal meeting or an informal gathering, I learn more when I pay attention to the person who is asking the most questions (not in a confrontational way, but in a genuine attempt to understand more clearly); conversely, I have found that I pay less attention to the person who (through their own statements and general attitude) apparently consider themselves to be the smartest person in the room.
Good rules we should all live by! Thank you Fr. Casey
Awesome rules, shared now to pencil I my 30 min of silence!!!❤ God bless you Fr Casey!!🙏🙏🙏
I'm a former teacher and currently a homeschooling mother of 6 children. You are 100% right about recess.
I'm happy I won't miss fr. Casey's video anymore. Great father👌👌
Father is very Eloquent.. i love this, thank you
I really enjoyed this video. I am going to save it to my watch list and rewatch it at times.
Well said!. Thanks for helping me think about these!
Good rules! Will share with others..thanks Father Casey.
You're really picking up Br. Casey 👏👏👏. May our Almight God continue to bless you with His holy wisdom.
Wow on time scary for me, I was told as a kid first not to question things but thank goodness someone else said don't listen to them, but to question things, whew glad to know that I'm not alone in this.
Wonderful insights. I need to do more of No. 7. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe. Love your videos.
I appreciate that you added (appropriate) background music.
Love those rules. Particularly the one about putting the shopping cart back. I do that. Just because that kind of thing will make someone else’s life just a bit easier. I will strive to live up to all of these rules Fr. Casey. Though admittedly taking leisure time has never been a problem for me. I do crafts which is incredibly therapeutic.
This was a great reminder for me! I definitely need to be a better listener
While I fully understand that you need to plan ahead, God taught me a valuable lesson in my late 20s. I had my life planned out…not in tiny details but the general direction. Then it all fell apart. For a while, I allowed myself to sit at the bottom of the pit and feel sorry for myself. Then I got angry with God and told him he could throw me as hard as he liked but I would bounce back! It actually took until about 4 years ago for me to finally make peace with my life’s journey. The greatest lesson I learned back then was not to make life plans at all but to take one day at a time and allow him to make all the decisions. It’s been an incredible journey. He has led me along an amazing path and surprised me at every turn. I think there’s a place for both paths…each of us has a unique journey in this life…I wouldn’t change mine for anything. You’re still young and I hope when you get to my age, you can say the same!
Thank you Father.
Useful tips and cool music))) Thank you, priest. Your video is as a breath of fresh air in this mad time...
Such a great video. One rule I have on my own is: "Know that people are not really evil". Evil is a sickness, it's a sickness most catch from others when they're in close proximity. No one sane wakes up one day and says "Hey, I'm gonna be a terrible human being today". They do evil because they think there's no other way, they do it because they can't understand the consequences of their actions, they do it because it seemed like it was what everyone was doing and the worse is sometimes they do it to try and protect themselves. That doesn't justify evil of course but as humans if we truly want the best for greater good, we should not shun the evil without understanding them, we should see it as a sickness and try to cure it as best as we can without catching it ourselves, only then can we actually get rid of this pandemic of evil.
Wh-Wha-What ! Good common sense rules for ourselves and others while bringing more positive energy into the world. Great job Fr. Casey. Let's Do It People
6:13 "..., the Dallas Cowboys." 😀That came unexpected!
I feel the wisdom here rn
He’s growing and he’s carrying us with him
This was sooo good 👏 Thanks Father.
Recess is NOT optional! What a wonderful bumper sticker!
Thanks as always Padre…Silence…to reflect on your words for a while now..
Just love and all your guideline God Bless you 🙏
What a thoughtful and fantastic video! Point 8 definitely applies to me! Lol I must remember God speaks to us in the silence of our Hearts!
love this!
Great items and wonderful philosophy to live by
Awesome points! The Dallas Cowboys joke floored me. 😂😂
Loved this!
So beautiful to listen you fra
Loved these, good video
I always put the shopping cart back. If the parking lot isn't very busy, you can ride the back of that cart like you did when you were a kid. It's fun. As for the Dallas Cowboys, well, I really have no dog in that fight (GO NY!!)
Very useful advice, thank you.
Thank you
I believe, they are good rules, gives much food for thought, blessings on Father Casey👍🙏

Spot on Father Casey!
Thank you!
Very good advice! Thanks 👍
👍 put the shopping cart back in its place...I couldn't agree more...and it's my personal rule as well. Look around and make sure others don't get troubled by what you didn't do or did... sensitivity to others.
That dig on the Cowboys was straight heat 🔥
No 8 is sooo good.😊👍🙏
Great rules-!! Have you ever thought of writing a book? Thank you so much for your teaching. Blessings from Argentina
Ohhhhhh Father Casey! I do not know how old you are,but you are so wise beyond your years. I kinda,sorta adhere to your 8 rules most of the time and I can say in all honesty that I am a happy,blessed person. However,I MUST add a 9th rule...... TAKE/MAKE time to PRAY. Amen?
I think he may have avoided topics which the non-religious would react negatively to. That unfortunately includes prayer. But perhaps following the 8 rules will eventually lead the non-religious to prayer.
I think he sort of meant that by the 8th rule, of 30 minutes of silence-> for religious people that would likely be spent in prayer, and for non-religious, it would not.
Was expecting the beatitudes in disguise from the title! Still a nice video. Thanks, Father.
That video comes in about three weeks, actually!
@@BreakingInTheHabit looking forward to it!
I agree 100% .very well said
Thank you for this. I'm not from the USA, but I appreciate Dallas Cowboys joke. Peace and goodness.
Awesome...thank you
Right on
I agree with you about returning the grocery cart. I faithfully did so until about 5 years ago. Now sometimes after I have unloaded the dead bodies from the cart to the car I am exhausted. Years ago there were checkers, baggers and loaders in the grocery stores. Now we are checking, bagging and loading ourselves. At any rate rheumatoid arthritis knocks me out some days even w monthly infusions. So yes sometimes I am guilty as charged. I used to tell my clients, take care of the little stuff and the big stuff will take care of itself. Good video.
We have Publix grocery stores in parts of the South. They still have people to bag & they will help you to your vehicle if you need it.
@@randyogburn2498 That's good to hear. Unfortunately, I am trapped in the Socialist Sanctuary State of Nutlandia aka California---in particular Southern California. It's no mystery people are moving to the South from here. If I knew 50+ years ago what I know now I would have never come near the place. Thanks for the info.
@@maryemilysmiley6146 oh, please feel free to go ahead and leave. I encourage people to get out. Only those of us who like California should stay! We’re all cheering folks leaving. Lol. Please move to the south ( I lived there for a bit) with its racism and guns if it suits your personality better!
The part where you say to question things were rejected in the past for good reasons I guess. But now we have no other options but do so, because if the good people dont bad people will and results will be devastating. Even though ignorance can be a bliss sometimes.
I do the best I can to better Myself, as a Third Order Franciscan.
Good rules, especially the last one (which is very difficult and very important).
To me, the most important rule is: Love people, no matter how bothersome they are. At least try to. Pray for them even if you would very much prefer to slap them in the face. - I do not want to say by this that I am especially good at this rule (I'm not). But it's worth trying again and again.
I love this guy.
I Pray for You Daily.
9. Respect one another.
Yes! I want to be a better Christian and Catholic.
Hello Fr,
May you do a video about stigmata, and where it started?
Thank you 🙌🏽😇
Awesome , you everything on the head.
Amen!
nicely done.
Should make a video on religious rules or tips that you would like to share!
Cowboys😅🤣😂🤣...jokes aside, you were speaking directly to me when you said, "shut up." Now if my brain can take control of my mouth...
The world needs this like water and food.PERFECT FATHER THIS IS TRUE WISDOM TO SAY ALL THIS.

The version of moderation I like is to enjoy things within the bounds the Lord has set. So live within God's commandments and ethics and side with Him on things. Enjoy all good things within virtue rather than missing the mark.
Nice guidelines.
Very good rules.
Please Pray for Me Father Casey.
