One time a man stopped me for money. I apologized for not carrying cash but he said he was really hungry so i asked what I could get him. We were surrounded by restaurants and take out places and told him I'd buy him something. He didn't look happy and kept saying he wanted money cuz he was hungry. And I kept saying I'll buy him whatever he wants. But he insisted on money and asked to walk with me to the ATM. I said I can't do that but if you are hungry I'll buy you food. He didn't respond and looked away. Just be careful not all of them are really hungry, or at least not for food. Maybe for drinks or drugs. Of course if I'd have given him some money if I had some but no way I'm walking to an ATM with a stranger. I'm afraid of going to the ATM by myself! Just be careful.
I used to struggle with this similar scenario, after some really disheartening experiences. One time when I was sharing this struggle with my Dad, he said that when we give, we can't control what someone does with the gift. If they misuse the gift, given in love, that's on them. But it's not up to US to judge who is or is not worthy of receiving the gift. We give in Love, who knows how that may change them in a way we never ever see. I hope this insight helps someone else struggling with the same thing.
That’s so strange…I remember getting mad and yelling at my friend not too long ago and I could have SWORN I saw those same two ladies outside across the street shaking their heads in disapproval…now I see that they’re just everywhere apparently. Lol hilarious and also insightful videos, I’m glad I found this channel! God bless y’all!
I wish y’all could have shown the “Bury the Dead” part, I bet when it’s Abner’s turn people will try to push him to the hole because of whatever his snark comment would be. 😂😂😂
Does the Church regard with esteem Abrasive Abner? He adores the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; he takes pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees.
bradyspace It's difficult to say. Abrasive Abner may be motivated by pride, in which case the church would not regard him with esteem. However, if he's simply doing his best to live his faith but has an awkward personality and lacks social skills, then yes, the church would regard his efforts with esteem because he is giving his all for the Lord, even of his results are dismal. Hopefully, however, Abner would try to improve and learn to be a better Christian, and his evangelization skills would improve. If he is simply awkward, he would have the humility to do this, and if he loves Jesus as much as he says he does he'd keep trying to improve.
I saw an article from my wife team that said 50 creative ways to show mercy by and I'm here to say nothing they said had anything to do with mercy feeding the homeless is very important yes but that's Sympathy not mercy mercy is done on a more personal level I have to disagree with the article because mercy is generally meaning to help someone out who has wronged you instead of trying to get revenge but to help the person to deuce kind things to people despite that you could easily treat them the way that they traded U that is mercy I don't know why I'm bringing this up I just want to clarify I didn't agree with that author because that's called the sympathy which ties into The Bible is well but mercy is literally as somebody has done you wrong and then instead of hating on that person you forgive them and even help them out when they need it that is mercy those are 2 different things both are very important is says do help and shall sympathy for those who are less fortunate and it also says to show mercy but they're still 2 different things just putting that out there
I'm a Catholic school teacher and I show these videos to my class. They LOVE them! Thank you guys so much!
Karen Kramer Please spread our beautiful faith to the next generation. God bless you!
I just did an online school assignment on this, loved the video.
I'm subscribing in the hopes of seeing more episodes with Abrasive Abner. :)

Probably he wasn't hungry,he wanted some money !
cant blame him for wanting to distract himself from his own wretched existence.
Moe Anderson He could work. :/

True a lot of them want booze
The guy playing Abner is hilarious in these
Clearly this man loves his job
Please make more video's I love them
😂😂😂😂😂why did I just find all these gold comedies😭
“Better hope St. Peter is sleeping on the gates of Heaven” I love that line
“Let’s just hope that Saint Peter fell asleep at the gate.” Dang 😂
Abrasive Abner should have his own channel on TH-cam!
I love these videos, they always crack me up!
im not religious anymore but i remember this being shown to me in class and i laughed so hard i pissed myself since i thought the grandma flatlined

This is actually really helpful, thank you
I've watched these how did I miss her slapping Abner's glasses off and him telling the husband that he's a very large man can't say anything?
The only message I'm getting from these lovely videos is that Abner is the ideal Catholic. He should have his own show.
Godness goodness. Hard to imagine people being unkind. My kids would have no option to NOT visit geamma. Geampa. Ever
0:56 why did those lady’s nod their heads no he gave him the word of God 😂
Great message
"Timmy's a snot." LOL
These are great…
Lol! This one was awesome!

I just see Abner and I laugh
Abrasive Abner feels like a parody of the Dimond brothers
This video has a great Humanist message. It's getting a "fave". :-) Would like more like this.
Why doesn't Mrs. Johnson have a blanket on?!?
Abner would never use the NAB, he's a Douay-Rheims onlyist 😂
Just notice these videos now.
yaaaaas
This is soo funny😂
Hell sunscreen!!
😂😂😂
Thou shalt not have no graven images.
*The Bible says we don't have to bow down to statues but to God in Spirit and in Truth*
Didn't the Israelites downtown to the serpent raised up on the stick in the desert? Also didn't they bow down to the ark of the covenant?
