We will still hear Fr Columba’s talks won’t we? He is such a holy priest who shares from his heart with the Holy Spirit! I listen to every talk he shares!💗🙏🕊🐑
My children (aged 6, 10, and 13) request for me to play your videos for them to listen to every night to relax for sleep, Friar Columba. We have listened to them all over and over and are excited when you produce a new one! They love what you teach them and your lovely accent soothes them. They also love imitating your “it’s all about MEEE” segment - they think you are hilarious. I thank God nightly that you share all your gifts and reflections here. You clearly are tapped into Christ’s truths and are beloved.
You can tell whether someone is just speaking pretty words or speaking from a heart that really is connected with God. That is why I keep coming back to this channel.
Fr Columba I am constantly looking for the Grace of humility and trying to understand it... This is the best understanding I've received... Thank you so much 💟🙏💟

I am a religious leader of a congregation that's of a different Christian sect, and I thank you for this as you've opened my eyes to something. When I teach my sermons (roughly once a month) I've been presenting them as coming from me, and telling the congregation that therefore they should pray about it, read their Bibles about it, and come to their own conclusions about what I've said, because I'm no true authority. I have thought of this as humility, and long thought that saying, "This message comes from God, not from me," would be a sort of hubris. Sort of saying, "God talks to me. Doesn't that make me special?" As if declaring myself a prophet or something of the like. When receiving praise for my sermons, my response has always just been, "Thank you. Glad it meant something to you." That's failing to give God the glory. That's accepting their praise upon myself. I need to be more humble, and say, "Well, if it's what you needed to hear, then God must have been speaking through me. Isn't the Lord wonderful?" Thank you Fr Jordan!
Sadly, this is not what I was taught in my "formative years". So...THANK YOU, FATHER COLUMBA!!! God is the Greatest and He is working through you to make me understand what was so unclear to me all my life!
It's taken me a long time to see myself in this way, that evrything I ever though i had achieved was not my self but a gift from God. Well better late than never.
Oh dear Father i’m sooo grateful for the joy Jesus gives my heart through you’re videos! Thank you and may Jesus continue to shine through your soul! warmest greetings and blessings +in JMJ+ Angèle
Fr. Columba, you sound like the pokemon, Snorlax (my favourite pokemon), when you say "ME".🤣 About milking the homily thing, sometimes it works the other way too: the person who gives the compliment is trying to get a positive response in return. Sometimes these sort of situations can be easily miscontrued. God bless.🙏🙏
Thank you Fr. Columba for this video on being humble and for being an example of humility for us. I always feel a sense of peace when I view your videos. God Bless.
I spent the best part of this video laughing. The man has a brilliant sense of humour, while still getting a very serious message across. Thanks as always guys. God Bless you and keep up the great work as always.
... and to put this into practice is the most freeing and joyous thing - may we all experience it many times in our lives! God bless you Father for your helpful reflections!
Beautiful video, I’m an artist struggling with both trying to be very good at what I do, and sell my work, but also not become prideful. This helped set me straight on a few things I’d been pondering. Thank you!
God bless your journey. Spend time with him by reading and reflecting on the Gospels. He will speak to you. You might find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/Ox4lJ9Qcbac/w-d-xo.html We'll be praying for you, Peter!
Fine line in discerning the opposite of humility. Pride, of course, but commonly a mocking judgmental attitude. Boethius suggests a thought experiment to rid us of judgmentalism by imagining Acclaim: we are surrounded be cheering fans who drown out everything and takes our breathe and our ability to be judgmental away!
Pride is a slippy little eel and I’m so slick? Sometimes you can be self-critical without reaching the criticality of a bursting ego… Just to show that you can still improve what you do and that therefore it isn’t perfect, and it never will be because our very notion of perfection is imperfect. Words like Perfection and Glory are notions we can only imagine with our limited minds, faced with them we would automatically fall to our knees in awe and adoration, so by définition they are not of this world, thank god.
The Holy Ghost pours out his Spirit and brings the increase in the name of Jesus. The latter rain proceeds the second coming and it is what waters the seed. Without the Spirit of God no one is saved. Believe in your idea of Jesus till the end of time, it does little good. You need to accept his ambassador and representative. So when the Holy Spirit shows himself and is rejected that is the unpardonable sin. To grieve the Spirit of God is to reject life. The exalted witness of Jesus Christ (King David) is reporting for duty. He was a man whose tongue held no lies, For he was the direct descendant of our father in the heavenly skies. Born to a body of fleshy sin, Though what laid beneath was unlike the rest of his kin. Jesus had the utmost grace, Never being wavered by evils face. He was wise beyond any years, Performing miracles that would bring crowds to tears. A beacon of light on top of a starless mountain, Where words of wisdom poured out of him as if there ran a cosmic fountain. His eyes pierced through you with a single glance, Leaving even the most hardened individuals in quite the trance. The Holy Spirit so ever majestically flowed inside this man, Naturally people caught notice and became a fan. Students began showing up from every mold, When they heard his words their hearts were sold. Wicked men put a price on Jesus's head, He was wanted alive or dead. Despite this he and his disciples continued their teachings, Where on occasion they endured terrible beatings. One of the twelve apostles turned to black, No longer having Jesus's back. Judas Iscariot had done Satan's bidding, And it is in hell where he now is sitting. Jesus died on the cross to pay for our shortcoming, However don't be saddened for if you believe in him you will see him at your homecoming. There he sits at the right hand of God's throne, Being the voice of truth and love that we all have known. Satan's tongue is coated in a layer of deceit, And he tramples over promises with his feet. He's a being who is bound by deceptions, Whose very essence oozes with misconceptions. He struggles to look you in your eyes, For his gaze holds nothing but lies. On occasion he will give you his hand, But don't be fooled by his stand. He seeks to corrupt your heart, You would be wise to avoid him from the start. Seeking quick pleasures and casting aside love, He traverses this land with push and shove. Now Lucifer was once not lost, But pride blinded him at a cost. Disobeying God he waged war, Becoming detestable to the core. Today he is the ruler of Earth, Though for all his power he has no real worth. However most of us have still been sold, Giving into sin and becoming cold. Nearly everyone is a puppet dancing on strings, Marching to delusion for their unjust kings. My people have given into lust, Becoming robots full of rust. However you my child are the exception, So when you meet me don't forget to mention. That you alone have been granted the key, And before your glory they shall all bend a knee. P.S.- Not too long ago I was very bitter and destructive. Literally I was covered in blood from head to toe and ripping off nails and things of that nature. In my mind Jesus was against me, he had a vendetta against me which I couldn't account for. Then slowly but surely I started having these revelations, and began delving into the word of God. It seemed like my agony was not in vain. The things which held me back eventually began to propel me forward. The darkness began fading away and an unspeakably bright light was surfacing. Jesus told me that he had to break me in order for me to rediscover who I really was. Sort of like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Today I am almost fully healed in every conceivable way, and things like being a virgin and being covered in scars I strangely enough take much pride in. I took up my cross and followed Christ and in doing so I discovered the greatest love of all. m.th-cam.com/video/D_8Xfv3UXE0/w-d-xo.html

Humility is hard work.
It is, though worth it!
With grace we can do it!
Yes. Thank you for this video.
Sadly, this is not what I was taught in my "formative years". So...THANK YOU, FATHER COLUMBA!!! God is the Greatest and He is working through you to make me understand what was so unclear to me all my life!
Praise God, so so glad this could be helpful. Bless you!
Fr., I struggle with pride and humility. Thank you for this video.
We all do. You’re very welcome!
You nailed it! Ohhhh Thank you for being a great vehicle 👌🏾😎
Thank you and praise God!
It's taken me a long time to see myself in this way, that evrything I ever though i had achieved was not my self but a gift from God. Well better late than never.
Amen to that!
Fr Columba is the best! ✨🙌😊
Father, you are funny!🤣 I think your explanation of humility is wounderful 👍I'm thankful to our Lord for you. God love you..
Thank you! God bless!
Oh dear Father i’m sooo grateful for the joy Jesus gives my heart through you’re videos! Thank you and may Jesus continue to shine through your soul!

I am so grateful!
Love the: "MEEE!!!"
Maybe the best explanation of humility I have ever heard. Thank you, Father!
You’re very welcome.
Fr. Columba, you sound like the pokemon, Snorlax (my favourite pokemon), when you say "ME".🤣 About milking the homily thing, sometimes it works the other way too: the person who gives the compliment is trying to get a positive response in return. Sometimes these sort of situations can be easily miscontrued. God bless.🙏🙏
That is true (the second point, and possibly the first)!
Thanks. Really appreciate your work. Don't let it go to your head. 😀
Haha, thank you!

Love that!
I'm seeking God without knowing what I'm seeking because I don't know God.

This is so helpful. Thank you Father :)
Glad it was helpful!
Always so encouraging! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Fine line in discerning the opposite of humility. Pride, of course, but commonly a mocking judgmental attitude. Boethius suggests a thought experiment to rid us of judgmentalism by imagining Acclaim: we are surrounded be cheering fans who drown out everything and takes our breathe and our ability to be judgmental away!
God bless you Father !
I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
Sometime will you explain what defines a person? God Bless
We will make a note of it, thank you for the suggestion!
Amen🌼
Pride is a slippy little eel and I’m so slick? Sometimes you can be self-critical without reaching the criticality of a bursting ego… Just to show that you can still improve what you do and that therefore it isn’t perfect, and it never will be because our very notion of perfection is imperfect. Words like Perfection and Glory are notions we can only imagine with our limited minds, faced with them we would automatically fall to our knees in awe and adoration, so by définition they are not of this world, thank god.

It's the bedrock of all virtue.
