Thank you, Father, for shedding the 💡lights💡 on:.. WHATSOEVER WE R ASKING FOR, WE MUST GIVE BACK IN SAMENESS both in terms of QUANTITY & QUALITY..Am I correctly stated, Father??..Soooooo, dear Father, may I asking your advice what should we (as plurals) give the Devil's mindsets individuals in returned of "THEIR OFFERS" that WERE NOT being asked off since the beginning tax time in April's 2019 in West States filled with 😇 Angels 😇 whom by default are called Saints because they have NOTHINGS..Amen..
My dream of being bullied and trying to be cool on my dream yet no ones wanted to be my friend. And i stand alone in the darkness of my dream. Alone in the destruction. This dream made me to watch this video. And to prepare me for what life throws at me. I hate satan for destroying everything in my life and only God give me hope in my hopelessness. My anxiety is no more because God save me from stress . GOD love us for what ever and who ever we are. Even how hard life could be, God can make a way. I believe this Lent prepare us to accept Jesus. As we empty ourselves we are freeing ourselves to receive him in our life. Let your suffering offer it to God and God will give what you need. Pray and sacrifice teaches us to walk with Jesus and to be real Christian not hypocrites .. fasting is a way to prepare us and teaching us how to repent. Not allowing temptation to enter our heart and mind. Our flesh is weak through fasting we are training our soul to prevent that temptation away from our mind and heart. Pray so that the devil may not deceive you. Pray so that your family will be protected by the spirit of evil. Accept Jesus as we empty ourself and accept him in our heart and mind
Agree, and I know how much I NEED Lent. I have made lots of mistakes. I know how to start over again and again and again. We as Catholics must learn to start over.
As someone recently trying too regain my Catholic Faith , this was amazing too hear , people are calling out for this sort of ministry to be remembered our rules and duty of days gone by ,anyway just wanted to say thank you so much Father May the Good Lord bless you and all the wonderful Fathers of Mercy ❤I'd love too see it here in Scotland, Amen ❤️🔥🙏
Lord, prepared me not only for this lent season but all the days of my life to do your will which is to love you to put you first at all times and to grow my spiritual life with you and in you 🙏❤️🇺🇸🇵🇹
Thank you for your very enlightening and encouraging homily, Fr. Stephen. Your truly guiding us in our Lenten journey beginning Ash Wednesday to be with Jesus, the center of every Catholic Church celebration. Our life must be anchored in Him because He is our only Savior sent by God the Father in heaven. God bless you and prayers for all children of God. Happy Lenten journey!
Jesus Christ Son Of The Living God help us to open our eyes and heart to God Almighty only. Amen. Thank God for all His faithful Priests. Deo gratias. 😇🙏❤
It does make sad because I've been sick for years. I was not aware but now I am no longer allowed to fast from food or even meat because of my medical stuff. Sometimes I could substitute I must more than three a day. I do try to pray sometimes I know I need to more. The advice since I've been sick is to give it God& souls 🙏.
Very very well said about fasting during Lent. ... Our home was a home filled with fasting.... as I married and had my own family. Fasting as my husband and I were raised continued. ...❤❤
I shared the important pointers in this video to my fellow friends and I was mocked, ridiculed, and laughed at. Its funny how human we are. I took it all and just went on my day. Its fine 😆. Jesus' 40 days in matthew 4:1-11 is way challenging. This is fine. Thank you Father for sharing🙋🏻♀
Ummmm. . .Father, I mean no disrespect, but teenagers between ~13 and ~18 should not fast from food because they need the nutrients because of hormonal changes that fluctuate too wildly. I suggest that teenagers fast from media or video games (etc.), and then eat ONLY nutritional meals, and no "junk" food as part of the "fasting" routine. Please ask a nutritionist if you think that I am incorrect. Be safe. Continue your journey with Our Lord. Thank You for your service. 🛡️✝️🛡️
Those in that age group are only bound by abstinence [no meat, but fish/shellfish permitted] not by fasting, the same applies to those, who like me are at the other end of life [60+].

Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, with Easter Sunday being where people hide easter eggs and then the children hunt for them and find them has nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Just like Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ and is all about giving gifts and not about worshiping Jesus Christ. Easter Sunday and good Friday are traditions of man and are not biblical. The Catholic church says that Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead (which is a lie as Jesus said to do Holy communion in Remembrance of His death and resurrection). And Easter is celebrated on Sunday, (and God said that we are to Remember to keep the Sabbath day Holy, not Sunday) and the catholic church marks that week as the end of Holy Week, (((which is another lie as Only God can make something Holy and I find no scripture saying he made a week Holy). (The 7th day Sabbath is the only day God made Holy)) and the end of Lent, (Lent is not biblical as there is no scripture to support that tradition) and the Roman Catholic Church says the last day of the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, (Thursday is not a Holy day since God never blessed that day or made it Holy. Again, The Only day God made Holy was the 7th day, weekly Sabbath Day of rest.)) The Roman Catholic church says Good Friday and Easter Sunday is the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year. (is what the Roman Catholic church says. which is a tradition, and is not biblical. www.catholic.org/lent/easter.php?fbclid=IwAR2HChiYy0jXpcPIZfCHdm0ZQGmaHNAnGXbsAGU1VaiEVLqYxYQkvJKckrc There is no where in the bible that says that we are celebrate easter Sunday or good friday. These are pagan traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. Easter, in the Roman Catholic Church tradition is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. www.catholic.org/lent/easter.php Holy Communion is what Jesus said to do in remembrance of his death and resurrection. 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 And when Jesus had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. And there was nothing good about the pain and suffering that Jesus went through and had to endure and go through who suffered more than we can imagine and died around 3 PM on Friday which is on preparation day, which is the day before the Sabbath. And Jesus is risen. Mat 26:39 And He went a little farther, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt.” But then how would the scriptures be fulfilled.

Probably the best Pre-Lenten homily I've ever heard. God Bless you.

Great homily father. Second time today I have heard John 16:33. Thank you for helping me properly plan for my own Lenten conversion!
Lord, prepared me not only for this lent season but all the days of my life to do your will which is to love you to put you first at all times and to grow my spiritual life with you and in you 🙏❤️🇺🇸🇵🇹
Amen
Thank you Father. May God give me the grace to be more discipline not just this lent but allthroughout my journey in this life!
“If you ask for yourself what you deny to others, your asking is a mockery” this is a good truth
I agree with this myself, correct amswer, others are just as important as oneself.
Clever, bless young
Very unique insights to begin with Season of Grace. Prayer, Fasting and Almgiving three means to grow in right relationship with God.
Thank you fr 🙏 Amen for the homily talk.
Thank you, Father!
Amén amén! Let us walk with our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Mother in this pilgrimage of Lent. Be gone satan!

I took it all and just went on my day.

Do not panic because they bear the name fathers. They are not fathers of any humans but the fathers of Catholic spiritual knowledge.
@@abrahamj19 which is in direct opposition to The Word of God. As is the ENTIRE Catholic religion 🔥
@@abrahamj19 only Catholics need to panic 🤔
Where is lent mentioned in the Bible ? Man made obligation. To each his own. No thanks.

Honestly the church allows way too much food when fasting…
Should be speaking about WEF takeover of world not Lent
Not Take
No thanks.
Awww is someone a bit proud?
Amen
