I was brought to tears by Dr. Bergsma's holding back his tears. 😔😪🙏
Amazing because he 'knows' the depth of those words of Sarah, because 'God knows the broken hearted'... ♥️
Yes!!! me too!!! You can feel how sensible he is to the prayer to our Almighty, I think he has in a very strong the Image of Sarah as well the image of Tobit praying to look up to God.
We need to get back in our own hearts this kind of faith and sensibility in our Lord.
May God bless you!!! Warm regards from Mexico
Dr. Bergsma: Your weekly meditations have helped me bring a dear friend, who is a Business School Professor with a Ph.D., back from Protestantism to Catholic Christianity. He will soon join the Graduate Business Faculty of the University of Navarra in Spain - Opus Dei. GOD BLESS YOU!!! (Numbers 6:24-26).
God bless you John for your witness and your true emotions that reflect your love for the Lord. I share your feelings.✝️
Best teachers "feel" the lesson they teach ❤️ thank you dr. Bergsma! God bless you.
How I wish Dr. Bergsma were my Professor in Biblical theology during my theology years so that I would have a solid foundation as a priest.
Thank you. Love book of Tobit. God bless. Very thankful for this.
Thank you for answering the call Father! May you use these on-line presentations from Dr B to continue your formation as a Shepherd of Christs' church!
@@NUKE.2024 Thanks, Bro. Nick. As i pray for you, i humbly ask you to pray for us, priests. May GOD reward you.🙏🙂❤
AMEN!
God brought me low, so I could reject the world so thoroughly that I could hear his call. Lost so much, but gained so much, and being repaired every day. I can't get everyone or everything back, but I gained God. This lesson makes me feel so much.
I can feel your tears, Dr. God bless your soul!
Dr. Bergsma, your passion and enthusiasm for scripture is inspiring and infectious. God Bless you!
😢😭just tears......
So moving....
Dr. Bergsma, your faith moves me. Praise be Jesus Christ 🙏🏼
Lord console those in despair
Wow... Felt your emotions there Professor (or as in India, we would address you, "Sir"). How the Word comes so much alive when it reveals not only the wonders of God in history but also how it has the potential to impact our lives or it may have played out exactly like how it did in the pages of scripture. Thank you Dr. John for showing your vulnerable side to us... May the Lord continue to shower His blessings on you, your family and all those at the Center.
I needed this I know God knows what is best for me Praise Be to Almighty God
Thank you Dr. John Bergsma, may God keep you producing this many fruits.
Another awesome reflection! May God be praised forever and ever !!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Dr.Bergsma 🙏 you are 🔥
Thank you for your heartfelt teaching, Dr. Bergsma!
Providentially, God permitted the evidence of this touching book of Tobit, Tobias, Sarah, and Raphael to be found (not in Greek) but in the original language among the Dead Sea Scrolls 📜 ... immediately disproving the 5 century old basis for the Protestant canon. But that said, who doesn't love Dr JB when he is teaching/sharing...
daw-gone you brought me to tears, I think many of us can relate, as I see you most definitely do, thank you for being a for real person
We feel so blest to have the St. Paul Center with Dr. Bergsma, Dr. Hahn, Curtis Mitch and so many more! We wouldn't miss any of these awesome reflections where Scripture is unpacked for us. Thank you all!!
A needed teaching and witness in my ordinary time. May God bless you Dr Bergsma.
Dear Dr thank you for this it gives me hope and creates obedience for Him
Praise God for Dr Bergsma and his message for us today!!!!!
Thank you, Dr. Bergsma. Your explanations of Scripture make the words come alive in my heart and are often so much easier to understand than the written Word! May God bless you and yours, always!
Thanks brother for the great and hope message for the Church and for the whole world in Jesus Mighty Name Amen 🙏 Very interesting and proud indeed here from Australia Queensland Cairns 👏👏👈
Thank you for your reflections Dr. Bergsma. To see you "feel" the passage that moved you to tears, makes me realise how I've just been glossing over scripture. Seeing you're genuine love for God makes me want to change how I read scripture.
Amen, amen, John. So inspiring witnessing to your heart break open at the words of Scripture and the story of Sarah. I have been brought to tears many times. I find that those moments are when I feel God's presence most closely. Thanks be to God. Thank you to opening your heart to God for us to see. Our God Lives!
Thank you Dr Bergsma. It’s like you know what’s going on in my life right now. My sister is fighting for her life from covid and at the same time it’s my father’s anniversary on Friday since he was taken up.
😭🙏🏽🙏🏽
What a powerful testimony! The Word truly speaks in each one of our hearts. He speaks with love and authority. Thank you for allowing us to experience the depth of compassion and love. God bless you.
God is Great🙏
Dr. Bergsma, thank you for the emotional explanation of the book of Tobit. Lord, I come to you broken with many health problems and protracted family matters. Lord, intervene and yes Lord, send St. Raphael to rescue us from despair.
Thank Dr. Bergsma for this beautiful reflection. It was so apt and came in very handy especially today. God bless you immensely.

The opening of Ushpizin reminds me of the opening of Tobit. God is the author of time and everything is part of His providence.
♥️♥️♥️
Amen🙏🏻❤️

Buenas noches! Estaría estupendo que tradujeran con voz en español los vídeos. Sé que es posible poner los subtítulos en español pero la traducción no es óptima. Gracias por la atención! Saludos desde el Norte de España.
Dr. Bergsma, just said a prayer for you. It seemed as though the passage spoke to something personal.
I do have a question. Is Tobias a type of Christ? Is Jesus the New Tobias who comes to wed humanity tormented by sin and redeem us from evil?
Interesting
Acts 7:48 Acts 17:24 Look up Trey Smith on
youtube on the seed of the serpent!!
NO.
The short bus shows up, right on schedule.
Everytime a Catholic calls Protestants "brethren", this implies, at least implicitly, that the Protestant doctrine is "alright".
Since we know this is not true and that no Protestant can be saved outside the Catholic Church (this is dogma), I think we should choose our words better.
By calling them "brethren", we are implying they're ok being Protestants. This is false and just shows human respect. Letting them stay in their Errors is a grave sin against Charity.
Errors have no right. And recall we'll all be judged by every single word we say.
brothers can be in error. Brethren does not imply that they are freed from error in their belief
@@whitevortex8323 I don't recall we call the muslims "brethren". And, like protestants, they are also in error. I insist we should pick our words better.
