Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Bread of Life. You alone can satisfy the Hunger in my Heart. May I always find in You , the True Bread from Heaven, the source of Life and Nourishment I need to sustain me on my journey to the Promised Land of Heaven. Amen 🕊️
Lord Elohim Jesus, You alone can satisfy the deepest longing and hunger in our hearts. May I always hunger for the Imperishable Bread, that I may be satisfied in You alone as the True Bread of Heaven. Nourish and Strengthen me that I may serve You with Great Joy, Generosity, and Zeal all the days of my life. Amen 🕊️✝️
The truly wise man renounces the vanities of the world, contenting himself with the necessaries of life, abstaining from every thing superfluous, and applying himself, as far as he is able, to give to God proofs of his love. - #SaintBridget #Christianity #CatholicGospel #Faith #MustardSeed @PaxDeorum77 #iSeek #iThirst #PAX #DEORUM #AGAPE #YAWEH #JEHOVAH #totaScriptura #UBUNTU #HolyWisdom and #Mercy #Forgiveness #CALVARY #2033 #Escrivia

Who Lives and Reigns Forever and Ever. Amen✝️🕊️

I was rear ended by a semi truck on 8-26-02 and I am paralyzed from under my chest down plus I experience severe chronic pain. I have NEVER blamed God. I love Jesus and God, I still love the world. I enjoy your content and have learned a lot, thank you brother 😊❤
I can't blame God for anything. Except one thing I haven't felt his love immensely.
😟 so sorry to hear what happened to you! Thank you for not giving up on the Lord. I'll keep you in my prayers.💜
Wow, My darling, firstly every morning when I wake I say a Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit Amen. Then I say Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful Immaculate heart of Mary, and with her tears, I offer you all my prayers works Joys and Sufferings of this day. ( I say this so nothing I experience or do ever goes to waste.) God can use our sorrows and pains and turn them into graces and blessings to convert souls. I then consecrate myself and my family to the Blessed Mother and St Joseph, the Holy Family for Conversion of souls, healing of all forms of addiction, healings of mental health, physical health and spiritual health. I ask Jesus to bind and cast out all evil seeking to afflict, oppress, or harm anyone of us. Then The St Michael prayer and of course my Guardian Angel prayer who I daily ask for protection and help from. It was a great learning for me about 9 years ago that I could offer all my suffering to God and that God allows suffering in the lives of those he loves the most. I know this can be difficult for us humans to understand but we will on the other side.❤ Godbless you, shine bright!
Peace be with you
❤
I will confess, I saw the title of this episode and was immediately angry. As a former abused spouse, I was sure you could not understand the fear and pain and grief I felt when my then husband beat and terrorized me. I was certain you would say I must stay with him and suffer, or some such. I was surprised, pleased and relieved when you gently explained that the requirement to forgive did not entail the requirement to stay in that situation.
I do forgive him; he was clearly a deeply troubled man. I’ve often prayed for his well being and peace of mind. But i still have fear, and I hope to never see him again.
🙏🏻✝️
Totally identify with you as a survivor of domestic abuse.Pray for him but I can't be around him nor can my daughters.
Me too. I was suspicious first. My 84 year old mother is a covert narcissist. I forgive her because of her childhood trauma but I cannot continue to live with her. She is very toxic to me
You are entitled to leave a violent husband by Catholic doctrine. Yet St Monica and other Saints became Saints by learning to patiently and lovingly deal with these monsters they married.
@user-xe8vv6qj1b it all depends on how bad the level of abuse is and how much someone can handle. I offered it up for 27 years and then he divorced me😂😢😅
My sister's husbands were not as abusive as mine, a nd they divorced theirs. Their husbands were still very abusive. Everyone's circumstances are different.
I just read the testimony of a Catholic woman who lived with an abusive husband with their children. He also abused the children. She went to the Priest who told her to stay with her husband and to pray about her own faults. The husband, a Catholic who didn't even go to Mass much, still used religion to shame his wife and children. She finally had enough, asked for a divorce, and left him...took the kids with her. After she left him, this abusive, prideful man finally turned to God and the Church...repented and returned to the Sacraments. Her suffering didn't save him, but her leaving him did.
Awful and sad xx
Sometimes you have to listen to your inner voice not the church leaders who are ignorant and selfish .
I humbly submit to you - that yes, her suffering and her prayers helped her ex-husband. We don't know (those of us on the outside looking in) what role these actions on the wife's part led this man to repentance. Simply saying her leaving overlooks the graces borne of her suffering and her pleading to God. NEVERTHELESS, absolutely, she had a duty to protect herself and her children at the nearest chance to leave! The priest guiding her very likely misunderstood her situation or regarded it as tolerable. That was unfortunate- if so.
Thank you father Carlos. My ex husband was alcoholic. He and his mom did belittled me. When I decided to have divorce, I went to church, saying goodbye to God because I thought I am not belong to his kingdom anymore. But I told God that I always love him and if miss Him so much, I will visit the church and sit at the latest row so I won’t bother the good children of God. After I finished my sentence, I can feel God smiled at me. God told me that He loves me too and He always welcome me. It was 17 years ago. God keeps His promises. He still loves and helps me to this day.
Get an annulment. Divorce is allowed but you need an annulment to .marry another. We are all sinners. Even front row Catholics! I sit in front to see better and not stand long in line for Holy Communion and I am Divorced without an annulment...I don't want to ever be in romantic relationship ever again. Also, no sex out of marriage. You go to confession... you go to receive the Eucharist! Godspeed.
@@Marysservantthe church will always allow for separation of bed and board. You do not need to get an annulment. Novus order annulments are handed out like candy. that doesn't mean that you're not married and you can do whatever you want to do. If somebody's out of control you can simply divorced for your survival and your children but that doesn't mean that you can get divorced and remarried . Forget the annulment BS.
As many others have said, the annulment process brings healing. I'm glad I did it, regardless of what happens.@@Marysservant
@@tomstulc9143Jesus Christ Himself said: "for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband."
And this for people who speak like you:
"They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them".
@@tomstulc9143Thank you for having the courage to post this. My sister and former best friend believe annulments from NORVOS ORDO priests, dissolves their marriages, even tho their spouses are still alive. It really makes me sick that they can forget their promise to God “till death do us part,” when they feel like “marrying” someone else. They do it for financial reasons. Sad. I believe this is why they don’t want anything to do with the true Catholic Church. TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS. ⛪️
Please pray for me during this time of my trouble.
The Lord is with you, you will be ok
Lord have mercy
Thank you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, for your prayers. Thank you ever blessed, Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Perpetual Help for your intercessions and prayers. Know that you who read this are in my prayers as well.
No one should stay in an abusive relationship.
True, but some elderly women didn't know that, weren't taught that - and early teachings remained with them through the years. They were ostracized if they divorced their husbands and so many remained. Maybe it related only to specific dioceses or even a parish? Don't know, but do know that some women when they finally stood up for themselves were faced with a man who if he didn't make changes then threatened to kill himself - and it would all be the woman's fault. I've worked with some of those very elderly women. They lived with shame and guilt if the husband did in fact kill himself or if she divorced. Most hid the abuse from others. One good thing: as the man aged he was too ill or weak to be abusive. Very sad for those woman, but at the least toward the end of life they have received some help from newer teaching in the Church that reached to their depths of pain. These are women who would have been born in the 1930s-early 1940s.
@@lucillejerome5511 its not just the elderly by the stats many young too, murdered by an abusive spouse trying to change him or her, not wanting to just throw the towel in wanting to fight for their marriages.
Why does staying married to a person who is abusive automatically means they have to physically stay and endure the harm? The person can stay married, love and pray for their spouse from a safe distance. That means adhering to the vow “until death do you part”, ie not start another (adulterous) relationship and pray for the abusive persons true conversion to Christ for the good of their soul. The abuser’s sin should not be an excuse for the abused to break the vows they made to God when they got married. St Rita of Cascia, pray for us. 🙏
@@sarahsabino7279 what does st rita say when you add an abusers adultery, chronic abuse,coercive control and attempted murder to the list?
You want stay in a life and death situation so you can have a party for the person who wants steal your life by literally taking it?
How far a distance is a safe distance from an abuser?
How many people got married on the wedding day and the day they commit literal fornication by defiling the marriage bed with a third party?
Its easy to judge divorcees but hard to walk in those shoes isnt it?
Because only the brave can be brave.
So better we dont talk too much and leave the judging to those God commits it to in the church. Those with wisdom and compassion. The catholic church already has teachings on the sacrament of marriage and divorce. It has priests , bishops , psychogists family therapist marriage counselling for those who can save a real marriage and can without resorting to divorce and it does not give anybody the right to condemn those who cannot.
@@heartofpuregold you should look her up. That was her entire life 🙏♥️ that was her cross that she willingly bore for her love of God, of Christ her Savior and Redeemer. It was in her faith and obedience to God in her pain and suffering, an imitation of Christ’s passion that she was able to convert many people’s hearts to Christ and brought miraculous healing. Suffering people don’t have to stay in harms way, I know I didn’t. But if we would unite our suffering to the Cross of Christ for their conversion from their sins, maybe we would all be holier for it. But it will take our willingness to take up our own cross and follow Christ as He said and as St Rita did. May the Lord heal your sufferings and bring you peace, through the intercession of St. Rita.
Thank you Fr. Carlos Martins! Finally, a priest says that you are not required to stay in an abusive marriage.
The Catholic Church has always allowed divorce when abuse is present. You just can't always be in another sexual relationship. You need an annulment first.
Also, I forgot to say - here in Ireland you will still see people bless themsecles when they pass w church or cemetry, see a hearse, hear of death or a tragedy. When I lived in England it was very rare, but I felt it important my son see it. We moved back four years ago, and even though we live in the North Catholics are much bolder in the faith than they were in England. (I say that, but in London the Cathedral had to shut its doors this Easter because the building was dangerously full and people were still trying to force their way in.) Pray for these islands, that Ireland and her next door neighbour become mighty for Our Lord.
Yes, we we taught to do that when I was in elementary school (Catholic). I still do it today...and especially when I hear Sirens...we were taught to pray a Hail Mary every time for both the injured and the Emergency Staff. 🙏🕊❤✝️⛪
@@carolzappa1804 Yes! Or if you see a car accident (obviously phone emergency services, but sometimes you drive past and it's always in hand. I was just thinking, by the way, of Pope John Paul the Second blessing a new ambulance one day and specifically it's first patient - shortly before he was shot and became it's first patient. You never know how blessings can bounce back to you.
In the name of the Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit, Amen ❤
Don’t give up, keep fighting the good fight in Faith ❤❤
I remember on a bus a protestant companion said "why do you Catholics bless yourself when passing a church"!! ..I was to young to retort! But it guiles me how so many protestants hated Catholics...no wonder troubles in northern Ireland!!!
Staying with an abusive spouse often ends on on the news and someone 6 feet under
In reality though, the *most* dangerous time for the abused is when they leave. Staying is, unfortunately, “safer” for the woman. Most abused women die either in tne process of leaving or just after they did.
Yes and that's what happens to men they are suicide and wrongfully destroyed by women an the courts
@@birgittabirgersdatter8082
I had a relative that people begged to leave the dude she was with. Dude literally beat her until her body gave out.
I think it's better to leave,but you may have to be smart about how you do it
I am baptized Episcopalian, raised by a Roman Catholic. Many of us in my Episcopal church make the sign of the cross. I do all the time. Personally, I pray the rosary daily. I have in my house a tiny altar with blessed candles, blessed salt, Holy Water, and blessed olive oil where I pray daily, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy along with about a dozen other prayers. That's just me. God bless all who read this.❤✝️🌹
Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it. May God bless you ❤️🙏
Very similar story! ❤
Wow. You pray more devoutly than most Catholics. 🤩
❤
@@blumusik9572....but The catholics are the ones who are going to BE saved right? Not because of the more or less devotion but because they are in the Church of Christ (being repented of course).
See the picture: say that in the days of Noah, people stood outside the ark and prayed to God but would Not enter the ark even when Noah was preaching, pleading to them that that was the way for God to save them...do you think they would be saved if they where outside when the rain started?
I think God cries with us when bad things happen.
Upon this Rock I will build my church
Dear Jesus I'm sorry for my sins and free catholic church from devil and get me a job this week also help me lose weight ✝️☦️🙏
NO NO NO. At the very first sign of disrespect, control of your behaviour, socialising, finances or vehicle, put-downs, isolation from friends and family, physical threats and abuse, emotional abuse, just GET OUT. He is showing you who he really is right from the beginning. If you stay you are rewarding bad behaviour and inviting him to do worse things next time around. You are not his punchbag. You are not qualified to fix him. He needs to go see a professional. If you stay you are inviting worse behaviour and it will become harder and harder to get away safely. Three women are murdered by male partners in the USA every week. Get out.
Did you watch the video??
You haven't listened to video !!
Every time we speak bad of the pope we are hurting the Sacred Heart of Jesus people please stop talking bad about the pope, the church and priests. Stop the sacrilege’s now please this is a call to everyone because unfortunately people don’t know that.
Jesus prayed specifically for Peter (1st Pope). We should do the same.
Criticism of the Pope isn’t a sin. When the Pope says things that aren’t in-line with Catholic doctrine we should correct him just as we would correct any of our brothers in faith. Some very holy priests as an example have called into question some of the things Bergoglio has said. Jesus himself criticized Peter when Peter told him he didn’t have to sacrifice his life.
Catholics are not obliged to speak well of a pope they disagree with. This is cannon law. We have the right to call out bad (immoral) behavior from clergy or the pope when we see it. What hurts the Sacred Heart is allowing clergy - or pope - to continue to act in ways that are contrary to Christ's Church.
Take that mean speech time and use it for prayer for pope instead!
@@greenshpdetraction?? Speak well of the pope as respect for his office and Jesus. You may disagree and debate his talking points/letters. Attack his errors, not his person! Huge difference!
An abusive husband should be in jail.
that means most people in general should be in jail. Why? Not all abuse is physical. And most abuse is mental/emotional (and I've met spiritual abusers too - arrogant, narcissistic holier than though who look down and intimidate) can and does lead to autoimmune disease even! We're all SO messed up - including the one who is and takes the abuse. We all need recovery.
@@jac1161 that's probably true, ha! I'm talking about physical abuse. But yes we all need recovery. And Jesus!
My ex is diabolical. He tried to kill me for years giving me flesh eating bacteria in my food. I had a brain infection. I’m almost completely deaf and spent ten years in a sick bed while he was coaxing my children away from me. He took them away as soon as they became adults and they are afraid to talk to me. This man used my entire family against me and his as well. He goes to church every week. And is a sociopath. He has all the priest and congregation fooled. The great deception is here The enemy is in our midst and too many people are embracing the wicked The Bible say to live your enemies and do good to those who use you. But it doesn’t say. To assist the wicked to keep doing wicked. That should be rebuked and thrown out of the church. Reprobate minds. Read Romans Chapter 1
Abusive wife should be in jail.. 80% of abuse of women against their husbands and children and Men.
Amen!
Beautiful story Fr. Carlos Martins!!
God bless you!!🙏❤️🕊🎶🌟🌹
May God bless you too Linda! ❤️🙏
I think this is a most precious episode .... Thank You dear friend and my brother in Christ.
Thanks so much Debbie. Episode like this isn't a "big hit" with the views, but for me I just love making videos like this actually.
I really like Father Carlos Martins!
I agree forgiveness is important but I have been through abuse with an abusive husband.
It has been 3 yrs he has been gone and no contact.
I forgave later after I healed and I am still healing but it was not instant!
It took me time to work through the fear, trauma and yes, hatred of him.
But as I healed my hatred turned to righteous anger of self protection and pity on him.
It took time to forgive but I do NOT want him back into my life as a friend or around me or our daughters.
God does not want anyone abused.
Abuse IS evil!
Abigail and Nabels story.
There are more forms of abuse than just physical too.
Nobody deserves their one human life walking on egg shells or worrying about being attacked from someone saying they love you.
Abuse is not love!
God hates evil. He said it in the Bible. Its not justified.
I remember Baby Jessica! We prayed and prayed for that baby, it was about 1987, wasn't it?
I feel the truth of what you say, Father, and I pray even more, for the people whom others especially look down on, or hate.
I love all of your posts, as a returning Catholic, and badly cathequised at that, I appreciate your hard work. I have learned so much from you and others like you. Furthermore, learning equates to change. If you do not change you haven't learned, meaning, if you stopped talking about demons and started talking about what's important the catholic faith I salute you. Keep it up you're doing great.!!!!!
Awesome, welcome home. I have also returned . God bless you
Welcome home! May God bless you!
This reminded me of a priest we had that explained the sign of the cross during a homily. He told us about that time when he was becoming a priest under a bishop. He mentioned that what it means when we do the sign of the cross, each part means something to the Holy Trinity. The first part is the wisdom of the Father, the second part is the love of the Son, and the third part is the life of the Holy Spirit. He also said how the bishop he was under had a funny voice and always telling them, "Don't do the sign of the cross like you are swatting around flies!" I remember the congregation laughing at that. 😂
I stand with you, brother in defense of Pope Francis. There is enough disunity to go around without adding to it. If it was up to me of course I would want a pope who is a little more on the conservative side but I will continue to respect the leaders of our church. I love that quote of St. John and I will always try to remember to make the sign of the cross before going anywhere. It never hurts to armor ourselves as best we can from any spiritual attacks !
Quote of St John??! 🙂
I divorced my ex. I got an annulment in record time. There’s only so many times to turn the other cheek. When it’s time, it’s time.
It is wise to not place yourself around someone with a d3adly and abusive spirit the more you entertain that person who has the spirit of anger on them you are digging a deeper ditch for yourself.
Remain safe and protect yourself
Agree
Learned so much from Fr. Martin. Thank you for creating channel.
Love father Carlos! Thank you for the upload 🙏
Thanks for listening! ❤️🙏
I've been listening to your channel since December of 2022. You helped me make that final step back into the confessional after 30 years of living in the deep Occult. I think this is the most beautiful video you have ever made. I was really hoping that you could go deep on some critical aspects of our Catholic Faith. In terms of how to live in the world we are in right now as a Catholic. The issues of divorce and abortion stand out in my mind with regards to this. Cannabis use, esp necessary Medical ie PTSD or seizure disorder is another issue that not many Catholic channels talk about. I feel like adressing how to live Catholic in our troubled world might be one of the ounce of prevention that prevents a pound of cure being needed. Thank you for staying out of the politics and focused on the topics we all agree on and need to hear.
Thank you for sharing the story of Jessica's rescuer. Everything thing you've presented to us in this video makes clear sense. So many things were explained that had questions I didn't realize I had in the back of my mind somewhere. Thank you so much for bringing these subjects to so many people's attention. I hope people find at least 1 question answered that they can share to help with others. 🙏
Thank you for defending the Holy Father! 🙏🏻❤️✝️
The paranormal subjects covered by your channel are more than enough. Your instinct not to bludgeon the subject to death and be a onetrick pony is spot on and you are well guided to want to branch out other realizations of the vision for Armor of God.
Im sure a silent majority is cheering you on.
I really like your new content, the spiritual warfare stuff is important, but I think it is healthier to fucus on other things as well. Also, I am glad that you are not a sedevacantist and that you are protective of our Pope. God bless. May all schisms and divisions heal. ❤
This is an amazing addition to the McClure story😮 Wow, thank you & Fr. Cm for the insight!!
Truly beautiful story shared by Fr. Martins there.
No one should stay in abuse it is evil temper temper is important! NO one can live in peace with an abusive husband or boyfriend! They will NEVER get better most likely unless they truly try hard to cool their tempers! I haven't listen yet to vid :) all abuse is evil RUN
Watch the video
The Catholic Church does not encourage ppl to stay in situations of abuse. It is important to forgive, but this does not mean a person should continue to let themselves be abused.
Watch the video !!!
@@mph1ish I did
“God does not will evil upon us. He does permit it. And if He permits it, it’s because there is a divine purpose for it. We may not see the purpose. To demand to know the purpose is equivalent to demanding to be God.”
8:49
“To pose a question to God and to demand an answer (in words or in our attitude). Is demanding that God obeys us. That is simultaneously a claim to be God” 9:42
Excellent highlights!! Thank you 😊
I am so glad that you are focusing on the rituals. I always pray before meals and make the sign of the cross when out eating. I have slowly noticed that others are also doing it. The one sign of the cross that also has meaning is when it's done before the reading of the gospel. Seal your word o lord in my mind(on the forehead), on my tongue (on the lips), and in my heart(across the heart). At least, that's what I was taught many years ago and still remember today. Also, the reason why they use bells during the Communion is something worth a mention. It's interesting to see what you find out and report on. Keep up the great work.
Yes you're correct re: blessing before the Gospel reading.
As for the ringing of the bells during the Consecration, although not a requirement, it is to draw attention to the exact moment when Transubstantiation takes place (the ordinary bread and wine become the true Body and Blood of Jesus). I was taught that when the Priest elevates the Eucharist (and then next the Cup) we raise our head and look upon and adore Jesus. Then when the Priest lowers each, and bows we then lower our heads. Most people don't know this and don't look upon Jesus in the Transubstantiation of the Eucharist and the Cup. I recall reading years ago that this practice of the bells began (c. 13th century) when the Latin was no longer the vernacular, so the laity would know when Transubstantiation was taking place. And another reason because of the many people attending Mass, those further away could not see when Transubstantiation was taking place so the bells announced this.
I wonder what would happen if EVERY Catholic ,orthodox etc blessed our selves while waiting in the grocery line?
Thank you Father 🙏🏼our poor daughter is going through a terrible mentally abusive divorce. She keeps going in out of court because she feels guilty be she thinks God does not want divorce. My husband and I I forgive him and pray and make Masses for him but we don’t trust him or wish to have a relationship with him until he gets therapy and supports his family financially❤praying our daughter will realize this and do what is right 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
thanks so much for sharing, Mary. Much appreciated....may God bless you.
Divorce is a sacrilege. Legal separation is permitted by the Catholic Church when necessary.
I'm only separated amicably and not legally . .all to keep the peace...ex husband in home as I just wanted away at the time!!!
This might help your daughter's feeling guilty. I was in physical and mental abusive relationship for almost 7 years. I was wanting to leave but the longer you stay,it gets harder .They sense you plan to leave and get worse in spite of promises. One day out of the blue he slapped me hard. The refrigerator behind kept me from falling. My two year old also in the kitchen seeing it, then ran up and hit me on the leg. My hub was not abusive everyday but for days at a time every couple of months as he was a binge drinker. I kept hoping and listen to his promises. one more chance but this opened my eyes. Realizing the programming to my child hit me like bricks, right then. Even without the physical, your child will be seriously affected. 😮
I managed to get away 2 or 3 days later but not before another abuse. I was pregnant. It was a simple divorce he only saw the children a couple times in my presence and then never again til right before he died . . That was good because i was able to tell about his good things and minimize the bad. My son grew up and is a wonderful,very kind person. His dad has been dead about 35 years. If your daughter has children it is wrong for her to make them live with that. Her abuse is also theirs. If she doesn't have children, it's much better to leave now. It will be impossible to protect your children from his abuse.. Back then I said you don't see the kids and ill.never try to get support or ask for anything.its ok to leave with almost. nothing. I packed my keepsakes, baby and ran.. I knew it was the right thing to do. It was difficult, but it had to be done. trust in God.
Crazy how even Catholics refuse to forgive much less accept the vicar. Sad and embarrassing.
Apparently, it's wrong to be a Catholic and speak positively about the Pope these days. 😵💫
@@spiritualwarfareseries as Jesus said "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."
I wouldn't Generalise......And you seem to have quite a big ego and a hatred for Catholics....
Thank you for your videos. They have helped so much in strengthening my faith because of the clarity they bring. I was freed from a lifelong obsession after watching the first video I came across. I have been watching your videos since then. God bless you and your family for the work you do.
i love your videos, thank you for sharing the video about the Holy Father. I decided a couple of years ago, I am no one to worry about if he is or is not the pope. I look at it as having respect of the office, God will /is taking care of everything. im no theologian, and will not be judged by his actions, only my own.
AMEN ❤ I have a illness which causes me to have sever pain all over my body. Their has not been one day of my sickness even when I could not get out of bed that I would have blamed Jesus for this . He has gotten me through many bad days. How could anyone love Jesus and think he would send a illness to them. Praise Jesus for all his goodness ❤ AMEN.
Dearest Eleanor, thank you so much for sharing your story...really appreciate it. I hope you are getting better. May God bless you dearest sister. ❤️🙏
The devil sends illnesses. By the stripes of Jesus we are healed. Ask and you shall receive, nothing is impossibile for those who believe
Father Martins is a very wise man . I like hearing him explain the rationale for the substance of the Catholic faith .
I’m so happy and grateful to come across your channel!
Thank you!!!🙏😊
Thank you so much for your videos. Don't pay attention to the chaos or people unsubscribing because of their claims. Unless you would like to continue to explain your reasoning of the videos, that's fine too, but I hope people unsubscribing from you doesn't keep you in despair.
We're only human after all, and I believe that as long as we have pure good intentions to speak the truth and share it, we're in no wrong. And remember that Jesus was attacked by his own church.
So please continue your videos, I think you're doing a great job!
May God Bless you!
We should pray for our dearest Pope Francis, not lambast or denigrate him, for to do so would be lambast and denigrate his office and our Church itself.
According to a dream given to Archbishop Malachi of Ireland in the 11th century, Pope Francis might be our last Pope. We should all pray the rosary every day to appease God's wrath.
Thank you for your videos AOG.
Thank you, I've got sooo much insight from your channel.God bless
May God bless you. Happy that you've learned so much from Fr. Martins.
Absolutely excellent content!
Sooo needed today,
and sooo appreciated.
Thank you, and may God shower his blessings upon you and your life
Thanks so much for your fascinating videos. It's great that you stress unity within the church. (Fwiw, Protestant is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable, not the 2nd.) I also enjoy the beautiful music in the background and the animal clips. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank You for these particular situations you have given proper understanding to! For the sake of many hearts to see the reasons why somethings have had to continue as they have!
Forgive me : i have been subscribed pn my tv :
I hear you night after night into the nught : my best nights im up watching your shows and coloring in my coloring book...a mom and grandmother at the age of 40 i have always been on the fence :
Catholic? Christian...? The videos you have: in maybe the last 3 months have been watched maybe 3 x each and i just want to tell you how much you have given to me how much growth i have within my spiritual journey.
Questions ive asked ..things ive enjoyed foolishly.
Sadly .
I no longer believe in i have found my group my journey has always considered Catholic but only because I can never deny the rosary ...never knowing why ...my grandmother was Catholic and she was a saint to my father so ive always thought highly of her ...i have to tell you your introductions where you mention what someone commented or two when for me you have brought abundantly lessons truths the priests...youve given me so much clarity with your channel..i olay these all night and my 16 year old even is learning though in the beginning he said he was not listening: so much learning: and peace and pride and humbling and joy and forgiveness i just am grateful.
Im witb you and am just so thankful.
You have brought me back to the church and i know my home though i am only just beginning.. i never got communion as a kid my parents wouldnt se d me though i wanted to go ...i have much to learn ...im just grateful. I have alot to do but i rewatch episodes listening to Father Martins : Father Lampert...just these to name a few .
Thank you .
Excellent content, especially the last 3 segments. God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much for the feedback! May God bless you!
Some husbands don’t want forgiveness, rather they wish the wife to die or divorce . There is usually another woman or person involved with infidelity .😊. BTW both myself and former husband are Catholic . The church was kind and supportive which renewed my faith . I should pray for him , shouldn’t I ? NOT A BAD IDEA !!!!!!
BRAVO TO YOU and YOUR CHANNEL! PLEASE CONTINUE GOD GOOD WORK!!❤❤❤❤😊😊
Nice job on this channel. Keep it up!
So much learning about the faith .
Thank you all little facts are so very valuable and incredible thank you .
Thank you. That was very interesting.
Thanks so much Sac! May God bless you!
If you want any suggestions about content, I myself, would love to see some stories of the archangels Micheal, Gabriel, and Raphael.
Thanks Steve! Appreciate the suggestion. May God bless you.
If the abuse continues after talk; counseling, or intervention she can leave.
Father thank you for giving me light. I believe that if we believe in God you cant blame him for our devestations in life. We should thank him and pray to him. Gid is love not a punisher. Thank you Olga
I love all my brothers and sisters bless you all
Wow this is a great perspective from Father Martins. He has such a way to explain things that resonate within me ❤️ loved this video and the explaining in detail about the sign of the cross and many other things!
My dad still signs himself when he hears someone past on or something scary has happened to someone. When there are ambulances or a pet has died on the side of the road. ✝️🙏🏼🥲
Great Example 🙏
Wow. You are amazing me with the development of your content. You are continuing to prepare us for battle.
Thank you ❤ 🎉 prayers
I love Pope Francis. I was a devout Protestant for the first 40 years of my life. Pope Francis is one among many who led me to learn about the Catholic faith and ultimately to converting.
Hi. I'm so sorry for your recent experiences. I am praying for you. I have a suggestion/question: I've heard some of the priests talk about having a "team" with them when they go into an exorcism (and possibly other times). In particular, I've heard them mention mystics and we'll muscled men. I wondered if you might consider at some point including excerpts from a variety of these people and what their experiences are like? And how they came to be in the service of the Church or priests? Thank you for your content! God bless you! Victoria.
Thanks!
Thanks so much Maximus, and for being here from the start. May God bless you ❤️🙏
💯 Thank you for being authentic and true to God's light and teaching. God bless Armor of God Spiritual Warfare! God bless you.
God appointed men to be the providers and protectors over his wife and children. If he's abusing his wife or even his children he's not doing what God has appointed him to do.
In fact, a man who abuses his family is not simply neglecting his duty to love honor and cherish his spouse/children. No, far worse! He has ABANDONED his vow, his sacred oath to do so. Now, if this abuse comes out of addiction of some form, it may mitigate his culpability, but not the result or effect. That's why the Church stipulates canonical separations for abused spouses and children in these circumstances.
Thanks...The sign of the cross..we declare...".In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit'.Amen!" is a complete declaration of faith. You make this sign..and say all that's necessary. You may say more..but you have stated you faith..slam dunk!
I am a Catholic and I really like your videos, I am skeptical and testing all things all the time (out of fear and curiosity and anxiety and pursue of truth) I don't think the Popes are infallible like the Church says because they are human, saying the Popes are infallible is just not true not even the apostles said that of themselves we clearly see Paul stating that, but I am not going to go and attack the Popes nor bug people who follow them blindly, I do think they teach us a lot of beautiful things but they are fallible in my opinion and refuse to follow them blindly or cover up any of their mistakes... I do support the channel though I don't care it's pro Pope or not I like the fact that is fellow Christian Catholic takes time to compile interviews and provide us with very useful information for spiritual warfare because with pope or no pope we still have one enemy and one enemy only and that's the devil not each other
The Pope is only infallable when he speaks to the faithful about morals and dogma infallably. That doesn't mean everything he says is infallable. Only in certain circumstances. This we believe is a grace from God to keep the church from error. Not that we can't or haven't erred, but so that the church as a whole remains with God. The grace comes from God, not the Pope. He is simply a person who errs and sins like all of us. It is the chair of Peter that is infallable, not the person of the Pope.

No she should protect herself and her children! The need to consider victims and witnesses first is the key to sanity. It is insanity to put any serious criminal first.
Encouraging a wife to stay with an abusive husband is NEVER good and ALWAYS evil. Stop expecting women to put up with abuse and degradation!!!
listen first before comment buddy. LISTEN instead of commenting based on the title.
Totally listen!!!! Jumping to conclusions leads to so much STRIFE.... MISINTERPRETATION..
I too wonder if our Father would want us to be in a battered or abusive marriage. I can hardly imagine it is so.
Listen to full video!!!
Phenomenal sermon❤
I love listening to you....Tonight I listened also to Fr James Altman speak about the Sacrament of Confession and how sometimes we have Confessed this one sin sosososososoosos many times that it seems like, well, why am I still here? Dealing w this same stupid sin....over and over. He spoke about "Imperfect Contrition" in such a human way...and I get it why I keep going and returning. Do you have anything in your archive on this?
יוי
I'd be careful listening to priests that are schimatics and who have abandoned their vows by refusing to be obedient.
He also has a nasty mouth the way he speaks of the Holy Father and has issues himself when he somehow thinks it's ok to pray that someone will go to hell while praying the rosary
@@irishandscottish1829 Thanks for the warning - helps me as a Protestant to stay vigilant.
I agree, Altman is not a good source to follow. I do recommend Fr Jonathan Meyer at All Saints Parish in Guilford, IN. Discovered him during Covid and he is very scriptural and an excellent shepherd. His latest Sunday homily on the Solar Eclipse was particularly hopeful and scholarly. He is sound in his doctrine and respects Holy Father. If I didn’t have family where I live, I’d seriously move to Indiana 😀
Also The Coming Home Network is an excellent channel of former Protestants who dug deeper into God’s word and discovered Catholicism as the root. Many are former ministers. I’ve learned a lot of interesting information because of their personal research. I am a revert. Cradle Catholic, left to pursue feminism in college (a satanic ideology) born again evangelical in my 30s who returned to the Eucharist at 50. I am home. The Lord bless you in your search for His truth. Love, joy and peace to you.
I have no idea why these 2 people think it's important to tell me about Fr Altman's opinions....."bc he's not a good enough Catholic". Opinions don't scare me. I think he's a passionate, intellectual Catholic. Nothing wrong w his thinking...especially when it comes to Cannon Law where he's particularly knowledgeable. So he's got a problem w what Pope Francis teaches? So what? He's our Priest, from a family of Priests.
JMO,

Let's remember too that any good we do whatsoever.. We cannot attribute to ourselves. It's God acting through us, and us allowing Him to do so, thanks to freewill.
This takes serious introspection and studying to come to understand.
And when you realize this, you'll realize how incomprehensibly beautiful and loving He truly is, as far as we are able here on earth.
God bless.❤

Forgiveness is to "Forego the debt of justice." Father Ripperger
Not being able to truly forgive can lead us down the pathway of "Hate." Which is just one of the many ways the Evil One uses to help us lose our path to Christs salvation in the end.
Forgive but don't forget.
If you don't forget You're really not forgiving
@@teres469 To not to forget, is to not allow the trespass to happen again in the future. Yes, we must forgive the person who initiated it.
Thank you
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Saint Michael the arch angel came and stood before the altar- having a golden censor, and there was given to him much incense, and the smokes of the perfumes ascended before God. Alleluia, alleluia!
I did not realize that the sign of the cross was really that powerful. It's great to learn something new about my catholic faith.
Really??
I have a question for father. I was born and raised catholic. I was taught to forgive and not hold on negative thoughts. So here is my question if I forgave these things 60+ years ago why do I feel as if GOD finds me wanting in forgiveness. I confronted one sister she lied right to my face. I was pretty sure the other will lie as well. So I dropped it and said GOD will handle the harm you have done.... Is this the correct way to handle this within my faith?
I do ask father GOD to not have them in my part of heaven. I have spent my whole life taking care of people and getting lost in the shuffle.
As a layperson, I can help answer your question. Or at least in part. Forgiveness is not a feeling, but an act of the will. It may take many years to gain a sense of peace or closure from the hurt that others have done. You may not even feel the strength or resolve to face the one causing the hurt and forgive them face to face. But that is not required of us. Forgiveness for that person in our heart is required. Also, there are times where we just need to let go, and let God take it - in our prayers. Another thing - be merciful to ourselves: sometimes we can also play a role in the hurt from others and we must forgive ourselves too.
🙏🥰❤️✝️
The sign of the cross should always be done with the right hand???
Can you clarify please
Code of canon law 1153 sec 2 "in all cases" where the cause for abuse cease spouses are to be encouraged to resume conjugal living. The fullness of Christ's forgiveness was not that it stopped at just forgiving but saught for the offender to reconcile restoring the order God had called for in the Sacrament. Marriage is to mirror Christ's love for his bride without hope in reconciling it lacks.
For the offender to reconcile....There lies the answer.. My ex husband was depressed, shut down emotionally and wouldn't go to counselling!!!!
I have a question..I remember my mom hence she's n active member of the church and the old folks...we have several veil and a small shawl covered their head once entering the church for starting masses..what is its symbol..why it's removed now
I don't recall specifically so I'm not the expert but it is an act of humility for sure.
Def humility and respect for Our Lord, I'm not sure it was legitimately removed, I think people and fashion!! Decided. I think it is beautiful x.....and still some people still do but rare x
Excellent video! Thank you for your content and channel. Praise God for that! The way you say “Protestant” is cute.😄
I like the new videos. I want to learn
People love the phenomena of the Diabolical... But they're not interested in actually following through to get in a STATE OF GRACE.....its very sad.
It can be fatal..
I dont think people blame God for causing suffering but they do for their prayers of deliverance and healing not being answered.
🙏
Never in my seventy years would i entertain a critical though against the pope..Jesus appointed him from all eternity these truly are the end times..God bless our pope (Francis)❤
Forgiveness has never meant that you forget what was done. Even God does not understand forgiveness that way: He forgives, but he also requires atonement. I heard an Amish man say something once that really stuck with me. He said that forgiveness means that you give up the right to vengeance and give that to God. Then you walk away. It does not mean that you condone what was done. It just means that you give the job of vengeance and atonement to God.
Yes Surrendering it all so you can heal!
