@@christophe5238 I read that Saint Augustine's mother was repetitively going to her priest and begging him to help with her son. Saint Augustine was drinking and gambling and chasing women.

Catholicism rightly understood is not another religion based on one's culture or ancestry. It is THE way of eternal salvation. It is not to be toyed with or taken lightly. Way to go. Keep us on fire, brother!
Tom, I am trying to do what you do, wake up every morning and read a snippet of bible, or at least an ancient prayer, or listen to a homily from Franciscan Friars or Sensus fidelium.

Paul Beduhn YES. The Apostles did literally eat the flesh of the Son of God. Jesus said my flesh is REAL FOOD. REAL as in REAL. God says so, you say no way. God is a Liar. You say He didn't say it? It right there. You're blind. Blind in your heart mind and soul. And again you say the opposite, the church is not true. THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR OF TRUTH. 1 Tim 3:15. You must be standing on your head. Your god is not the real God. Your god is a figment of your imagination. A small god with no church and no gift of eternal life of real food for the soul to fit in your small imagination. My God is more powerful and loving than your god.
Paul Beduhn Christ is the head of his church and he appointed a man to lead it on earth. Matt 16:18,19. Who says Christ speaking metaphorically in John 6? You? WRONG. Church teaches Christ means what he says. You or the Church? Easy one. The Church.
For revival in the RC Church, emphasize the Scriptures! Bible reading was never encouraged when I was a Catholic. Missals and the Baltimore Catechism were what we were forced to read. Keep fighting the good fight, Father!
Once we are on fire for Jesus.....we won't ever let go! He is in our hearts! I am not confused! I firmly believe Jesus is in the Holy Eucharist! He is my only hope. I will never be ashamed! Come Lord Jesus! VIVA CRISTO REY!
I agree... my kids go to catholic school and hardly any catholic education. They don’t teach them morals.. etc..They don’t even have a bible as part of their school books.. very sad... 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
It’s the same in college No leadership or guidance That’s why 90 percent of Catholics don’t practice If Jesus is the way why pray to Saints Mary and idols
We (parents and students) must demand these schools stay accountable. Many Catholic Universities preach more heresies than they do actual practice of church dogma.
Sarah Brennan Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior Have you been born again Do you praise and worship Jesus Do you love reading the Bible Do you look forward to going to church Then you are on your way to heaven
Tu Dinh I’m an addict in recovery; believe me-I GET the “struggling with sin.” You’re HUMAN. Were the reason why Jesus died on the Cross. He had a special place for the likes of us in His heart.
Sometimes it feels like I’m taking two steps forward and three steps backwards. I go to confession deeply embarrassed and ashamed of my sin just be weak and commit it again. I’m going to attempt to visit Eucharistic adoration chapel from now on to ask for more grace and strength to overcome the daily temptations.
As a positive I have noticed many more people waking up to what is going on and what needs to be done. Glory and thanks be to God for starting to set things in the right direction.
That study about so many Catholics not believing in the real presence of our Lord in the Eucharist was public on August 9th....and in August 10th an amazing Eucharistic miracle happened in Paraguay
we need to clone fr. Mark and put him in every catholic church on a planet. The biggest problem in Catholic Church is complete lock of spiritual leadership, thank you fr. Mark for teaching us and for your true love for Jesus, God bless ❤️
Father you remind me of John The Baptist" ; The voice of one "crying out in the wilderness". I pray that your message is received and Catholicism as we have known it survives in America.
5 ways of Lukewarm Catholicism: 1. Watering down of morality and accepting as normal immorality. 2. Downplay of mysticism. 3. Catholic leadership in partnership with political parties that promote sins against life. 4. Catholics are not studying or reading the Bible. 5. The heresy that Jesus is not the One and Only Savior of the World. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and The Life. What a great mini-sermon, Fr. Marc. Viva Christo Rey! ✝
Amen Father!! I couldn’t agree with you more on each of your points. We need to restore the beauty and tradition of the Mass. We *need* the Mass to be entirely CATHOLIC and not a watered down protestant-like version. We desperately *need* more holy priests like you who are not afraid to share the truth of what is happening to Christ’s Church. Pax Christi ~ ✨ Deena
Marc Crotty yes!! We are so privileged to have the High TLM offered every Sunday. We drive 3 hours round trip to attend the Extraordinary Form. It is worth every minute & mile to worship the Lord in such a beautiful way. I pray that one day the Ordinary Form will be returned to what it was always supposed to be. Pax Christi ~ ✨ Deena
GOD BLESS you Father Goring ! Your a fresh breath of Air, from the Holy Spirit..Everyone is sleeping they have ears but cannot hear...Eyes and do not see.
Catholics are blind and can’t see Lost and not found You need to be born again A spiritual rebirth Except Jesus as your lord and savior He is the way not a church from Italy Learn your bible Find a church with a pastor and good Christians Stop worshiping Mary the pope statues idols and praying to the dead 💀 in purgatory That’s the occult You really think Jesus died on the cross so evil popes in Italy can change his teachings and mislead his people
Our religious people in my family are already in heaven. My mum was the last one ! 🌹☘️🍁🌻🌍🔭🔭🔭 I pray for every one of THOSE 🙏🙏🙏😇🆘 My heart in CHRIST JESUS 🌹☘️🍁🌻🌍🔭🔭🔭 PAX ET BONUM, BRO...!
Thank you very much Fr. Mark. One does not need to a Ph d to follow Jesus. Just love for Jesus and strong will to live and serve Him. Thank God for you and all beautiful priests who fo His will. Lulu
Thank you once again Father Mark for your uplifting words. Our Lord Jesus Christ is our Saviour and the way that will lead us to God. Please pray for my daughter to come back to her faith.
Lukewarm catechism too. My life is an example of this lukewarm catechism. I was a convert in 1990. My catechism was terrible. My Faith was lukewarm until I had an epiphany when my wife died in 2010. Since then I am involved at my parish, lector, usher, Knight's of Columbus, and doing many Bible studies, and learning my Faith through reading and wonderful videos like this one. I'm a much better Catholic, my grownup kids noticed the change in me.
Wow! Amen Father Jesus Christ is God! May the most Holy most Sacred most adorable, most Mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised blessed loved adored and Glorified in Heaven on earth and under the earth by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the Alter!
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. John 6:68. Fr. Mark Goring, you have the zeal..on fire with the Holy Spirit. Thanks for all that you do. I’m your avid listener. Come Holy Spirit come fill the hearts of the faithful and renew the face of the earth.
There should be a System to put the People to study the scriptures after the first communion and confirmation. I am a believer and I'm praying for you Father that your voice amongst the Catholics will be heard, Because you are being inspired by the holy Spirit. GOD bless you father.
This is indeed what is missing in the Catholic Church, organizing systematic Bible studies straight after confirmation. Currently, the confirmation is like the end of everything, people being abandoned to themselves and nobody caring about their journey of faith when it should be the moment of deepening.
Now, that will never happen, the ones on top know, if they start to study scripture, a great percentage will leave the RCC, because they finally see the truth!
Hi Fr. Goring. Great post. I applaud your emphasizing the problem of 'lukewarm Catholicism'. "So many have settled for 'mediocrity and compromise'." ..In the leadership...Any Bishops you know that could be categorized that way, and should be approached and counseled? wink wink...I really don't mean to be sarcastic, but this is a HUGE problem. thank you for reminding us if the fundamental problems.
Fr mark until these Catholics by name only have a personal encounter with Jesus all it takes is a little desire to seek him Jesus does the rest He will rush in once the soul moves ever so slightly to seek him out ! They must fight against all obstacles to seek him body mind and soul how do I know? Jesus blessed me in my suffering and turned it into his joy (we must pray for those souls ) Jesus is lost in those souls
Yes. Jesus is my will of living. His Words is my food nourish my soul. Without HIM I'm nothing but deep into the darkness. I whispered to HIM day & night keep me close to HIM. Thank you Fr. Mark. God bless you.
Do you have a relationship with Jesus or with th Roman Catholic Church? Jesus said follow me I am the way The Catholic Church says follower the mother goddess worshiping cult Pray to Mary Saints idols Statues and the dead in purgatory
No man is Holy We are all sinners Jesus died for our sins He did not die so we could pray to his Mommy and rot in purgatory You have been deceived The gates to heaven are narrow Jesus said my people perish for lack of knowledge or for following false teachings The Catholic Church worships Satan and the occult Look it up Vatican is decorated to worship Satan The Catholic Church tells us Mary is queen of heaven They tell us she is our mother Jesus never said these things If he did he would have been stoned as a false prophet He fulfilled old teachings in the Old Testament Jesus said come to me with the faith of a child Search for the truth you will find it Learn the Bible Open your mind and question things you were taught Good luck
Let our hearts be burning for our Lord and God Jesus Christ! King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our Only Savior is He! Let us exalt Him to the highest, away with this evil satanic lie, that Jesus is just a good man, or a wise teacher! "God has highly exalted Him and given Him the the name, which is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ,...and that every tongue should confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" Phil, 2, 9-11 Thank you, Fr. Mark Goring, for speaking the truth with courage! From Austria, Europe, profiting much from your videos, Viva Christo Rey!
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and *no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand* . I and my Father are one.
Father Mark, you hit the nail on the head regarding this lack of belief in the Eucharist not being the true body of Christ. Keep preaching it from the pulpit, address it in small groups, and pray.
It all starts at the top,as they say. We have to have faithful Bishops and priests who are devoted to Jesus. Sad what had happened in our Church - everyone pray because Our Lady said wars could be stopped by praying the Rosary!
My favorite PRAYER THESE DAYS """""JESUS SEND DOWN YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND RENEW THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF HUMANITY....MAY THE WHOLE WORLD BURN WITH LOVE FOR YOU.'''''''''' AMEN.
Well my wife and I are not leaving the church ... We Truly believe that miracle that occurs on the Altar thru Transubstantiation ... we've lost both of our kids to big screen TV 's in Non Denom, Big Band Church's .... So Sad ... Wife and I would have never guest this would have happened .... CCD Classes of the past didn't help and Certainly I take the blame .... Not enough Bible study in our house in the 70's and 80's ... Thank You Father ... Viva Cristo Rey !!!
Bless you. Dint beat yourself up. Declare scripture as fir ne and NY house we will ser e the lord. Pray God reveals the way for them and makes there paths straight. At least they're in church I wasn't until in my 30s raised catholic and v anti and rebellious as a tern. God showed his prescience and fascination a plan for our individual journeys. I still van strain at the ropes bit thank God he never leaves me and it doesn't mean I let go. We have to wrestle our faith out with the lord individually I'm sure that will happen. Pray doe my brothers as they do not acknowledge jesus as lord and saviour all middle class raise Catholics. God bless you hope you dont mind my message
I too was a fallen away catholic turned big screen evangelical for years. I would go, loved the music, people, felt inspired and uplifted. I even tried to get my mother, a catholic, to go, and she would say, "ok, I will go with you, but Im going to church afterward" lol. Meaning the real church, a catholic mass.. I reverted back to the 1 true church after years of feeling inspired yet still hungry and thirtsy in the evangelical world. And i never looked back. I am now a traditional catholic, attending a latin mass church, or reverent novus ordo churches. Get your kids green scapulars and st benedict medals, have them blessed by an fssp priest. And just continue to pray for their conversions. They will come back.
please the Angels? You sure it is SAINT John Vianney or just John Vianney 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
When I have the eucharist I feel God if I miss it because of work I feel unsettled and in need of it for me it is magical it has never been more important to stay with the Catholic Church it is the only way to christ
Lord have mercy.. His Mercy alone can save ! Fr Goring is a shepherd speaking , listen to him , as his words are echoing the Savior. We must beg that souls awaken, or it will be the loss of many. My Jesus Mercy! He will awaken , is awakening. We must pray as Mary asks us. We need the courageous witness like Father Goring. Pray to persevere, no one is worthy But Jesus wants to save souls ...Mary weeps console their hearts. God will have the victory!
I'm not sure how many have seen the news, but there was an event in Poland. Jacob Baryla is a Polish youth that protested against a gay parade but there has been much backlash on Polish Catholics. I think we should start a novena to Our Lady of Victory up and till October 13. That's Poland's 2019 parliamentary election. We really should aid this country that still has a Catholic soul.
You know it is because of all this evil that I have grown closer to my Catholic faith. I get sadder when I hear about all the evil that people do and how closer they get to hell. When I am saddened the more I want to pray for them. You can't help others to Heaven if there are no more sinners. I thank God that he has treated my personality in such a way that I will for ever be Catholic. Thank you Fr. Mark for informing me on what and how I should pray. God bless you all.
Thank you, Father!! 👏🏻With regard to your statement about St. Faustina versus the more “cerebral “ among us Catholics: The so-called intellectuals in our ranks are like scholarly Jews arguing the Talmud; they are like the Pharisees who are unable to live “in imitation of Christ “ and who stand in harsh judgment of others. We need more “gut level “, sincere Catholics who live as Jesus would want them to. As always, thank you, Father. Your wisdom and insights are wonderful and keep me going in the “right direction.” God bless you always.
Oh God i truely believe all the truth that the holy Catholic church teaches and believes. I believe in all these truth O'Lord because you have revealed them to her and in this Faith i resolve to live and die. Amen
Dear Father, something will soon happen that will bring back these lukewarm Catholics to Jesus. Furthermore, I believe with everything you have stated. God bless.
Jesus ls only way fill my life I prey you have been there for me my lifetime carrying threw times of deep dispear and times of loneness please jusus forgive my sins help me me deal with life my life has will remain yours amen.
The Catholic Church is Antichrist paganism You have no truth You are in spiritual darkness Evil popes priests bishops and cardinals can’t help you Accept Jesus as your lord and savior He is the truth the way and the life and the only way to the father. Catholic heritic teachings will lead you to hell Repent Can you say I was blind and can’t see I was lost and not found Have you had a spiritual change You are a sinner Jesus died for your sins Do you praise and worship him Or do you follow Roman Catholicism rituals not in the Bible Are you in a cult? What do you know about your pope Or about your church What if you were taught false things as a child Are you open minded enough to look for the truth Do you know understand and follow the Bible What if church teachers were wrong? What if Martin Luther was right That selling indulgences Murdering Christians at the Spanish Inquisition is true What if priests were selling heaven forgiveness and purgatory relief for a price
Amen!! Thanks Fr Mark, we desperately need to re- engage into to way of the cross, repentance, turning away from sin, act of contrition, we are call to be holy, practicing the Grace of God (Catholic Catechism 1998) and prayer. The purpose of the Church is to help save souls!!
I was shown a picture of a host with the face of Jesus that appeared on the host during adoration. It was exactly like the picture of Jesus I have at home. The lines on His image were so clear and well defined. I feel so blessed.
Thank you for the reminder. We as the laity have a responsibility too. PRAY OUR SOULS WILL BE ON FIRE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT SO OUR MOUTHS SAY THE CORRECT WORDS TO INSPIRE! VIVA CHRIST TORÉ!
Just like one of your homilies, that it is a spiritual warfare to fight against our own lukewarm as it is so disgusting to our Lord. Thank you Fr. for always reminding me the truth of the Eucharist. God bless you for all your good works.

YES. The Apostles did literally eat the flesh of the Son of God. Jesus said my flesh is REAL FOOD. REAL as in REAL. God says so, you say no way. God is a Liar. You say He didn't say it? It right there. You're blind. Blind in your heart mind and soul.
And again you say the opposite, the church is not true. THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR OF TRUTH. 1 Tim 3:15.
You must be standing on your head.
Your god is not the real God. Your god is a figment of your imagination. A small god with no church and no gift of eternal life of real food for the soul to fit in your small imagination. My God is more powerful and loving than your god.
Paul Beduhn
Christ is the head of his church and he appointed a man to lead it on earth. Matt 16:18,19.
Who says Christ speaking metaphorically in John 6? You? WRONG. Church teaches Christ means what he says. You or the Church? Easy one. The Church.
For revival in the RC Church, emphasize the Scriptures! Bible reading was never encouraged when I was a Catholic. Missals and the Baltimore Catechism were what we were forced to read. Keep fighting the good fight, Father!
Once we are on fire for Jesus.....we won't ever let go! He is in our hearts! I am not confused! I firmly believe Jesus is in the Holy Eucharist! He is my only hope. I will never be ashamed! Come Lord Jesus! VIVA CRISTO REY!
Poor Catholic education even in Catholic school. Life is short but eternity is long. Prepare accordingly.
I agree... my kids go to catholic school and hardly any catholic education. They don’t teach them morals.. etc..They don’t even have a bible as part of their school books.. very sad... 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
It’s the same in college
No leadership or guidance
That’s why 90 percent of Catholics
don’t practice
If Jesus is the way why pray to Saints
Mary and idols
Walter M Romanoff 🙏🏻💛🙏🏻
We (parents and students) must demand these schools stay accountable. Many Catholic Universities preach more heresies than they do actual practice of church dogma.

Have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior
Have you been born again
Do you praise and worship Jesus
Do you love reading the Bible
Do you look forward to going to church
Then you are on your way to heaven
Thank you father. I’ve been struggling with sin but I will never give up as I continue to strive to live a life pleasing to God🙏🏼
We're all sinners but must always pray for forgiveness.
Tu Dinh I’m an addict in recovery; believe me-I GET the “struggling with sin.” You’re HUMAN. Were the reason why Jesus died on the Cross. He had a special place for the likes of us in His heart.
Angelikka X and NOT to repeat the same sin. We do that by living as Jesus wants us to.
Sometimes it feels like I’m taking two steps forward and three steps backwards. I go to confession deeply embarrassed and ashamed of my sin just be weak and commit it again. I’m going to attempt to visit Eucharistic adoration chapel from now on to ask for more grace and strength to overcome the daily temptations.
Tu Dinh don’t be hard on yourself, keep perservering. God will perfect you if you seek Him. Trust and peace.
As a positive I have noticed many more people waking up to what is going on and what needs to be done. Glory and thanks be to God for starting to set things in the right direction.
God bless father Mark
That study about so many Catholics not believing in the real presence of our Lord in the Eucharist was public on August 9th....and in August 10th an amazing Eucharistic miracle happened in Paraguay
Isa Sala - do you have a link about the Paraguay miracle?
Fr. Mark Goring - I don’t know how to add links on the Tube, but if you just google Eucharistic miracle Paraguay 2019 the story comes up.😊
we need to clone fr. Mark and put him in every catholic church on a planet. The biggest problem in Catholic Church is complete lock of spiritual leadership, thank you fr. Mark for teaching us and for your true love for Jesus, God bless ❤️
AMEN!!!
I was baptized Catholic. I am still Catholic today. I will always be Catholic. I'll be Catholic in Heaven because everyone in Heaven IS Catholic!
wow good luck!
We are not used to hearing priests promoting sanctification. I have to read old catholic books to find such counsel.
Need some good sources?
Thank you again, Fr Mark. Please continue to teach the true Church. We need you!!
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Father you remind me of John The Baptist" ; The voice of one "crying out in the wilderness". I pray that your message is received and Catholicism as we have known it survives in America.
God bless you, Father Mark. Prayers and blessings! Viva Cristo Rey.
5 ways of Lukewarm Catholicism:
1. Watering down of morality and accepting as normal immorality.
2. Downplay of mysticism.
3. Catholic leadership in partnership with political parties that promote sins against life.
4. Catholics are not studying or reading the Bible.
5. The heresy that Jesus is not the One and Only Savior of the World. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and The Life.
What a great mini-sermon, Fr. Marc. Viva Christo Rey! ✝
The devil continues to sow dismay in our world today! Thank you Father Mark' in giving us light to fight the good fight.
Love when God surprises us with little or large miracles. So much has God blessed me. Thanks be to God!
Amen Father!! I couldn’t agree with you more on each of your points. We need to restore the beauty and tradition of the Mass. We *need* the Mass to be entirely CATHOLIC and not a watered down protestant-like version.
We desperately *need* more holy priests like you who are not afraid to share the truth of what is happening to Christ’s Church.
Pax Christi ~

A Catholic Wife. Yes, beauty and worship from the Traditional Latin Mass. Sung High Mass is best!
Marc Crotty yes!! We are so privileged to have the High TLM offered every Sunday. We drive 3 hours round trip to attend the Extraordinary Form. It is worth every minute & mile to worship the Lord in such a beautiful way. I pray that one day the Ordinary Form will be returned to what it was always supposed to be.
Pax Christi ~

Thank you Fr. Goring for your teachings on our Faith. God bless you and keep you safe 🙏
Blessed are those near you and have you for friend Father Mark
So true Fr Goring. All sad but true, even the downplaying of mysticism by many priests.
We are on fire for Jesus in our home!
GOD BLESS you Father Goring ! Your a fresh breath of Air, from the Holy Spirit..Everyone is sleeping they have ears but cannot hear...Eyes and do not see.
Catholics are blind and can’t see
Lost and not found
You need to be born again
A spiritual rebirth
Except Jesus as your lord and savior
He is the way not a church from Italy
Learn your bible
Find a church with a pastor and good Christians
Stop worshiping Mary the pope statues idols
and praying to the dead 💀 in purgatory
That’s the occult
You really think Jesus died on the cross
so evil popes in Italy can change his teachings and mislead his people
Our religious people in my family are already in heaven.
My mum was the last one ! 🌹☘️🍁🌻🌍🔭🔭🔭
I pray for every one of THOSE 🙏🙏🙏😇🆘
My heart in CHRIST JESUS 🌹☘️🍁🌻🌍🔭🔭🔭
PAX ET BONUM, BRO...!
God bless you father 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much Fr. Mark. One does not need to a Ph d to follow Jesus. Just love for Jesus and strong will to live and serve Him. Thank God for you and all beautiful priests who fo His will. Lulu
Thank you once again Father Mark for your uplifting words. Our Lord Jesus Christ is our Saviour and the way that will lead us to God. Please pray for my daughter to come back to her faith.
Thanks Fr. Goring
What a great priest! God bless you Father 🙏
Lukewarm catechism too. My life is an example of this lukewarm catechism. I was a convert in 1990. My catechism was terrible. My Faith was lukewarm until I had an epiphany when my wife died in 2010. Since then I am involved at my parish, lector, usher, Knight's of Columbus, and doing many Bible studies, and learning my Faith through reading and wonderful videos like this one. I'm a much better Catholic, my grownup kids noticed the change in me.
Wow!
Amen Father
Jesus Christ is God!
May the most Holy most Sacred most adorable, most Mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised blessed loved adored and Glorified in Heaven on earth and under the earth by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the Alter!
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. John 6:68.
Fr. Mark Goring, you have the zeal..on fire with the Holy Spirit.
Thanks for all that you do. I’m your avid listener. Come Holy Spirit come fill the hearts of the faithful and renew the face of the earth.
There should be a System to put the People to study the scriptures after the first communion and confirmation. I am a believer and I'm praying for you Father that your voice amongst the Catholics will be heard, Because you are being inspired by the holy Spirit. GOD bless you father.
sanalzam1 I agree with your comments
This is indeed what is missing in the Catholic Church, organizing systematic Bible studies straight after confirmation. Currently, the confirmation is like the end of everything, people being abandoned to themselves and nobody caring about their journey of faith when it should be the moment of deepening.
Now, that will never happen, the ones on top know, if they start to study scripture, a great percentage will leave the RCC, because they finally see the truth!
Dear Father Mark,
Well said, well said, well said!!!!! I finally
I believe! I adore! I hope! I love You Jesus.
So aptly said. We had Bishops who cut down pagan places of worship and performed wondrous miracles. What happened to our Church?. 😞
Hi Fr. Goring. Great post. I applaud your emphasizing the problem of 'lukewarm Catholicism'. "So many have settled for 'mediocrity and compromise'." ..In the leadership...Any Bishops you know that could be categorized that way, and should be approached and counseled? wink wink...I really don't mean to be sarcastic, but this is a HUGE problem. thank you for reminding us if the fundamental problems.
Well said Father Goring and be praised and glorified through your powerful sermon. Amen!
Fr mark until these Catholics by name only have a personal encounter with Jesus all it takes is a little desire to seek him Jesus does the rest
He will rush in once the soul moves ever so slightly to seek him out ! They must fight against all obstacles to seek him body mind and soul how do I know? Jesus blessed me in my suffering and turned it into his joy (we must pray for those souls ) Jesus is lost in those souls
Yes. Jesus is my will of living. His Words is my food nourish my soul. Without HIM I'm nothing but deep into the darkness. I whispered to HIM day & night keep me close to HIM. Thank you Fr. Mark. God bless you.
Do you have a relationship with Jesus
or with th Roman Catholic Church?
Jesus said follow me I am the way
The Catholic Church says follower
the mother goddess worshiping cult
Pray to Mary Saints idols Statues
and the dead in purgatory
Thank you Father. I pray for you and all holy priests every day.
No man is Holy
We are all sinners
Jesus died for our sins
He did not die so we could pray to his
Mommy and rot in purgatory
You have been deceived
The gates to heaven are narrow
Jesus said my people perish for lack of knowledge or for following false teachings
The Catholic Church worships Satan and the occult
Look it up
Vatican is decorated to worship Satan
The Catholic Church tells us Mary
is queen of heaven
They tell us she is our mother
Jesus never said these things
If he did he would have been stoned as a false prophet
He fulfilled old teachings in the Old Testament
Jesus said come to me with the faith of a child
Search for the truth you will find it
Learn the Bible
Open your mind and question things you were taught
Good luck
"To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."
Let our hearts be burning for our Lord and God Jesus Christ! King of Kings, Lord of Lords, our Only Savior is He!
Let us exalt Him to the highest, away with this evil satanic lie, that Jesus is just a good man, or a wise teacher!
"God has highly exalted Him and given Him the the name, which is above every other name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ,...and that every tongue should confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" Phil, 2, 9-11
Thank you, Fr. Mark Goring, for speaking the truth with courage! From Austria, Europe, profiting much from your videos,
Viva Christo Rey!
Thank you Father. This is a sermon that should be shouted from the roof tops.
Exactly my thought!
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and *no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand* .
I and my Father are one.
The smoke of satan is polluting many.
My strength is the Lord with the Blessed Mother!!
Get out of the smoke, You are right in the Center!
Fr. Mark, many thanks for your words and your brightness. They ligth up my path to Jesus.
Thank you for your faithfulness. Keep it up.
Father Mark, you hit the nail on the head regarding this lack of belief in the Eucharist not being the true body of Christ. Keep preaching it from the pulpit, address it in small groups, and pray.
It all starts at the top,as they say. We have to have faithful Bishops and priests who are devoted to Jesus. Sad what had happened in our Church - everyone pray because Our Lady said wars could be stopped by praying the Rosary!
Praying for conversion of hearts. Praise and glory to our Lord in the most Holy Eucharist. Father Goring you ROCK!!!
Thank you Father. Such nice speaking.
Amen father Mark ! You are on fire!
Fr. Mark, so glad you are allowed to speak again. I bet you're glad to be home.
My favorite PRAYER THESE DAYS """""JESUS SEND DOWN YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND RENEW THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF HUMANITY....MAY THE WHOLE WORLD BURN WITH LOVE FOR YOU.'''''''''' AMEN.
Well my wife and I are not leaving the church ... We Truly believe that miracle that occurs on the Altar thru Transubstantiation ... we've lost both of our kids to big screen TV 's in Non Denom, Big Band Church's .... So Sad ... Wife and I would have never guest this would have happened .... CCD Classes of the past didn't help and Certainly I take the blame .... Not enough Bible study in our house in the 70's and 80's ... Thank You Father ... Viva Cristo Rey !!!
Bless you. Dint beat yourself up. Declare scripture as fir ne and NY house we will ser e the lord. Pray God reveals the way for them and makes there paths straight. At least they're in church I wasn't until in my 30s raised catholic and v anti and rebellious as a tern. God showed his prescience and fascination a plan for our individual journeys. I still van strain at the ropes bit thank God he never leaves me and it doesn't mean I let go. We have to wrestle our faith out with the lord individually I'm sure that will happen. Pray doe my brothers as they do not acknowledge jesus as lord and saviour all middle class raise Catholics. God bless you hope you dont mind my message
I too was a fallen away catholic turned big screen evangelical for years. I would go, loved the music, people, felt inspired and uplifted. I even tried to get my mother, a catholic, to go, and she would say, "ok, I will go with you, but Im going to church afterward" lol. Meaning the real church, a catholic mass.. I reverted back to the 1 true church after years of feeling inspired yet still hungry and thirtsy in the evangelical world. And i never looked back. I am now a traditional catholic, attending a latin mass church, or reverent novus ordo churches. Get your kids green scapulars and st benedict medals, have them blessed by an fssp priest. And just continue to pray for their conversions. They will come back.
Amen Father, Amen! You are so correct. Lets ALL pray for the health of the church and the Pope.
Thank you Father Goring. Jesus is so proud of you.
*Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public*
~Saint John Vianney
please the Angels? You sure it is SAINT John Vianney or just John Vianney
1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
When I have the eucharist I feel God if I miss it because of work I feel unsettled and in need of it for me it is magical it has never been more important to stay with the Catholic Church it is the only way to christ
Lord have mercy.. His Mercy alone can save ! Fr Goring is a shepherd speaking , listen to him , as his words are echoing the Savior. We must beg that souls awaken, or it will be the loss of many.
My Jesus Mercy!
He will awaken , is awakening. We must pray as Mary asks us. We need the courageous witness like Father Goring.
Pray to persevere, no one is worthy But Jesus wants to save souls ...Mary weeps console their hearts. God will have the victory!
Thank you father for this message.
Thank you Father God bless you and our Catholic Church
I'm not sure how many have seen the news, but there was an event in Poland. Jacob Baryla is a Polish youth that protested against a gay parade but there has been much backlash on Polish Catholics. I think we should start a novena to Our Lady of Victory up and till October 13. That's Poland's 2019 parliamentary election. We really should aid this country that still has a Catholic soul.
You know it is because of all this evil that I have grown closer to my Catholic faith. I get sadder when I hear about all the evil that people do and how closer they get to hell. When I am saddened the more I want to pray for them. You can't help others to Heaven if there are no more sinners. I thank God that he has treated my personality in such a way that I will for ever be Catholic. Thank you Fr. Mark for informing me on what and how I should pray. God bless you all.
Thank you, Father!! 👏🏻With regard to your statement about St. Faustina versus the more “cerebral “ among us Catholics: The so-called intellectuals in our ranks are like scholarly Jews arguing the Talmud; they are like the Pharisees who are unable to live “in imitation of Christ “ and who stand in harsh judgment of others. We need more “gut level “, sincere Catholics who live as Jesus would want them to. As always, thank you, Father. Your wisdom and insights are wonderful and keep me going in the “right direction.” God bless you always.
This problem is utterly heartbreaking. Thank you. You are such a blessing. What a powerful way to explain this!! Bless you Father, Francis-Clare
Oh God i truely believe all the truth that the holy Catholic church teaches and believes. I believe in all these truth O'Lord because you have revealed them to her and in this Faith i resolve to live and die. Amen
Dear Father, something will soon happen that will bring back these lukewarm Catholics to Jesus. Furthermore, I believe with everything you have stated. God bless.
Thank you for having the courage to speak up about this, Fr. Goring!
God bless you Father Goring.
Jesus ls only way fill my life I prey you have been there for me my lifetime carrying threw times of deep dispear and times of loneness please jusus forgive my sins help me me deal with life my life has will remain yours amen.
Praise Jesus! ! He is the way, the truth and THE LIFE!! Amen!!
Jesus ensured us that the gates of hell would not prevail against his church! Amen! Amen!Praise Lord Jesus Christ For all of eternity! God bless you!
Thank you Fr. Mark. You a beacon of light in this confusing world.
Father, I always get food for thought from you. Thank you for always proclaiming the truth of our faith.
The Catholic Church is Antichrist paganism
You have no truth
You are in spiritual darkness
Evil popes priests bishops and cardinals can’t help you
Accept Jesus as your lord and savior
He is the truth the way and the life
and the only way to the father.
Catholic heritic teachings will lead you to hell
Repent
Can you say I was blind and can’t see
I was lost and not found
Have you had a spiritual change
You are a sinner
Jesus died for your sins
Do you praise and worship him
Or do you follow Roman Catholicism
rituals not in the Bible
Are you in a cult?
What do you know about your pope
Or about your church
What if you were taught false things as a child
Are you open minded enough to look for the
truth
Do you know understand and follow the Bible
What if church teachers were wrong?
What if Martin Luther was right
That selling indulgences
Murdering Christians at the Spanish Inquisition is true
What if priests were selling heaven
forgiveness and purgatory relief for a price
Fine discussion on the state of the Church today.
Amen!! Thanks Fr Mark, we desperately need to re- engage into to way of the cross, repentance, turning away from sin, act of contrition, we are call to be holy, practicing the Grace of God (Catholic Catechism 1998) and prayer. The purpose of the Church is to help save souls!!
I was shown a picture of a host with the face of Jesus that appeared on the host during adoration. It was exactly like the picture of Jesus I have at home. The lines on His image were so clear and well defined. I feel so blessed.
Thank you for the reminder. We as the laity have a responsibility too. PRAY OUR SOULS WILL BE ON FIRE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT SO OUR MOUTHS SAY THE CORRECT WORDS TO INSPIRE! VIVA CHRIST TORÉ!
This is a very important subject. I preach this to my western Catholic friends. I'm Eastern Catholic
Thank you, Father! Praying for you...
Thank you Father Mark. God help us to be faithful and strong. Good message
3 Hail Marys with love from Liverpool England
Just like one of your homilies, that it is a spiritual warfare to fight against our own lukewarm as it is so disgusting to our Lord. Thank you Fr. for always reminding me the truth of the Eucharist. God bless you for all your good works.
God Bless you Father you are so holy we so need Priests like you especially here in Cape Breton
Amén 🙏🏻 Amén 🙏🏻 Viva Cristo Rey 🤴thank you for the inspiration for God’s love and true Gospel 🌹🙏🏻📿⛪️✝️♥️😊 God bless you Father Mark 🥰😍🤗🇵🇷♥️🙏🏻✝️💝📿🇵🇷
Lukewarm Bishops will build a Church in their image
Interesting times. Trump, Republican, non-Catholic = Pro life.
Biden, Democrat, Catholic = Pro death. Majority of US bishops = Democrats.
CATHOLICS FOR TRUMP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@tonytony131 Yes these are interesting, inexplicable times, with a black mass openly being said this evening Saturday Aug 17, 2019 in Ottawa canada. Majority of Bishops - dead silence. I would expect our democrat friends to be totally down with this, "its freedom, right!?" even though it is Canadian...with democrats, all is good, if you can call it 'freedom'.
