I was feeling very lost about what to do practically to help them, and this just showed up on my suggested videos. Praise the Lord and His Providence. Thank you Father Chris. I will take this advice to heart and put it into practice.

      Your situation is exactly like mine. It is so hard for me even to have my grands to say a Hail Mary. My son and partner don’t believe anymore in Heaven or hell. My granddaughter is the fan collector of Harry Potter’s items. She has them all… well and more… I pray and pray.. sometimes I feel down and discouraged.. no matter what I do they seem un changeable.

      ⁠@@j.soledispa1882Hello ~ I’m quite sure I’m much older than your granddaughter and I’m an enthusiastic Harry Potter fan. 20+ years later, children of all ages are attentively reading and completing a massive tome, but utilizing critical thinking in comparing books to movies; proffering “What If” scenarios; I think it’s fabulous. The Collective We needs to chill out ~ It’s a made up story, a set of novels, fiction for crying out loud…
      Good vs Evil; Good Wins, but be prepared for a few setbacks.
      The church I left, had a children’s story, in which a little boy was sobbing to his pastor that his mama had changed - she “painted her lips and stained her nails, and read novels sometimes instead of just the Bible….
      Everytime I think of that a new expletive gets added to the string that would get me bounced flat on me bum by YT & everyone else….
      This world is getting just a little weird…

    You always Inspire me Father Chris Alar, you are one of my most favourite people in the world to listen to and learn from. I am a catechist who is part of the team that runs our RCIA program at our parish here in NZ. It has been on my heart for going on 5yrs now how much I want some kind of similar programme for existing Catholics who want to learn more and grow in their faith, and for the fallen away Catholics who are on their way out, are already out, considering out. Or always at mass but never actually present. It breaks my heart that in the RCIA we welcome brand new Catholics at the front door, all the while we have so many Catholics leaving our faith at the backdoor. So just today I decided I will start a novena prayer from tomorrow to discern God's will, and i feel he is calling me for this then to start taking the NX steps... Yet here I am clicked on 1video and this video is the very NX one that TH-cam is asking me if I want to watch next... It might be just the algorithm but gosh ....sometimes God isnt subtle huh

      For the conversion of Sinners and to bring a loved one back to the faith 📿. At times the prisoner was better off without an nonexampary Father and the other custodial parent missed seeing him grow up and show him the way of the Lord. Didnt give the time spent he needed and failed to plant the seed of faith. I repent but I'm doing the works of Mercy by prayer, daily physical mass & Risary & receive the Holy Eucharist, fast during the day.

I am and will continue to keep you all in my prayers. I am a 2 time brain injury survivor seeking God everyday through prayer and have been practicing saying The Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily and more. I have seen your website before and I am so grateful how God is loving me through everything like I received from this video. I want more.

      John Just wanted to reply to your message that you left on the Divine Mercy web site. I too was a brain injury survivor, Phys Ed teacher, K-12th grade instructor, inactive CPA and then the car accident. You are so right, we just must keep praying and I saw my angel twice. The angels take up part of the whole sky, and we must follow their instructions I have learned. Married for over 20 years and husband was mad at me, after he helped me heal and couldn't get back to what he wanted. I too want more but I learned God gives us what we could handle. Thanks for reading this and I try and say a rosary a day on a walk. I just keep praying that I don't give up and keep praying to our blessed mother. Brain injury survivor that is so HARD, did you have support?

      @johnrowley5136 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@suewood2763 Hi Sue! I can tell you know the struggles of brain injury. Thank you for getting out of your comfort zone and sharing. I've had 2 brain injuries. I have had family around for both although I'm single and never married. My 1st brain injury at 27 in1988 was a "Born again" experience. I saw all the things I needed to change. In 2012 I had the stroke and, By God's grace, so many bad experiences of life were taken away. I live alone and Ya, never married? I truly thought my life would be different. If not for knowing God, as a young boy, and being an Altar server and singing in church, I don't know how I would have made it through this. I pray my Rosary first thing when I wake, so I don't make excuses and forget. I have heard the call to start meditating on Jesus' Passion since the Pandemic started. I never thought I would be praying as much as I do but am grateful I can and do. It's early here, about 6am and I know that living alone is a gift that I am not hurting someone I love because my frustration kicks in. I have found that most people(family) just can't understand that i am "again" a different person and God is in charge. I will pray for you. My 1st brain injury I had to learn to do "everything" all over like an infant. When I had the stroke I came out fighting but have so many deficits I live with. I see God in all things. I read a small book called "Trustful Surrender To Divine Providence" after my 1st brain injury. God doesn't want me to hurt but I use all my hurt for good. Matthew 16:24-26 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. I hope you are doing ok while reading this. I will pray for your Husband. John

I wanted so much to bring my children to God. So i started the Chaplet very early with them when they were barely 3yrs old. I just have the believe that God will somehow bless us if we ask Him constantly. Today God bless my children and we can sing and pray together everyday.
