Loved this video! I was raised Muslim and converted Catholic in 2019 - and I’m tired of hearing people say the god of Islam is the same as the God of Christianity or that all religions lead to God. No. Being Muslim led me to atheism. Not the same.
Islam led me from post-Catholic agnostic back to Catholicism. I learned that at least one religion was determined to destroy Catholicism so I started investigating why.
This reminds me of a line from what is quickly becoming my favorite Christmas Carol, See Amid the Winter Snow- Sacred Infant, all divine, what a tender love was Thine thus to come from Highest Bliss down to such a world as this!
" for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name" Luke 1:48 RSV Hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with thee 🙏🏻❤️🕊️
I Love Mother Mary. When I exude my love for her in talks or conversations, I DO mention God/Jesus being Breastfed by a Mother - THAT HE WAS OBEDIENT TO…! OBEDIENT… !!! Let that sink in. Lost for three days in the Temple, young Jesus returned with Mary, and was OBEDIENT to her… Jesus calls her WOMAN as Eve was WOMSN before the Fall. The Poetry is Sublime…! Thanks for sharing… PS - Mary is the Dispenser of Grace (Full of Grace). God loves order, and gives His created beings what you might call chores or responsibilities.
11:47 This happens all the time at a Catholic mass. Multiple Eucharistic miracles, where the spiritual and the material come together. The bread becomes flesh, the wine becomes blood.
I'm so sorry. Praying for your friend. It's a type of grief to see someone you care about seemingly being attacked by their own body. Praying for Peace within this Storm.

The topics that you brought up are some of the very reasons why the Netflix animated show, “Centaurworld”, was a pleasant surprise for me that I never knew I wanted. In the Season 2 (and series) finale episode, the backstory of its main villain called the Nowhere King is revealed, and its themes/subtext mirror a lot of the subject matter explored in Christopher West’s analysis here. The video essay, “The Nowhere King: A Flawed Show's Perfect Villain”, sums up a lot of it very well.
Glory be to thee, oh Christ our God, Glory be to thee! For thou became what you were not (man) with undergoing change from what you were (God). Blessed be the Holy Mother of God!

This video reminds me of C. S. Lewis's "Men Without Chests" essay. In it, he describes the results of severing the body and the spirit (stomach and mind) and the evils that sprout forth from not having a heart to harmonize both (a chest). A man ruled by his stomach and discards his mind makes himself like an animal. A man who elevates his mind but absconds his stomach becomes prideful and sinister like the demons.
She was known to pray for a fulfilling of prophecy, Elizabeth says in Luke 1:45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.
Something that blew my mind was when a priest said that at some points of our lives, we are just like Mary: Our first Baptism, and each time after confession. We get our sins washed away, to a clean slate, but how many of us choose to surrender to God's will again in the ups and downs of life. Mary was a tough cookie of a woman!
Maybe not until the annunciation. But their are instances in the bible that parents of very important person's was informed of their child's destiny. It's possible that she knew. Just like the case of John the Baptist. Zachariah was John's father was inform. Also on the case of samson His mother was also inform.
Mary's desire and intention was to obey God first but also to live as a consecrated virgin as some women do to this very day. But God chose her to be the Mother of His Son. Mary is different. The mistake here in the presentation is to approach Mary from too much of a carnal aspect when it comes to the Incarnation. The Virgin Mary being over shadowed by the Holy Spirit was the ultimate in holiness and chastity while yes, being fully human . The body is more exalted in todays world than ever or at least since ancient Greece. It's in the spiritual aspect where the modern world is lacking.
.sgr. Albicete was an outstaning theologian; I read his writings in _Communio_ when I was in graduate school. Hans Urs von Balthasar wrote an excellent reflection upon St. Irenaeus, called _The Scandal of the Incarnation_.
God is not proud but the religions that think like that mainly Muslim and Jews reflect in a God that is like them and they cannot comprehend that we are as humans very sacred and special for God so He wouldn’t feel that is a big deal, after all He is reincarnated in one of His creatures, a perfect one true, one He separated for Him to be His Vessel, but still created by Him. That is what others “ religions” are missing, what really God is.
According to them their god cannot even enter his own creation, because he is not powerful enough. Their god is prideful because he is not able to show compassion by coming on earth and live with his creation, because is not befitting to make himself equal to us. Their god has no love to sacrifice himself for his children. Their god can only be a master to his slave, but not a father to his children. Their god is unquestionable, you should not ponder to understand but only to accept. That tells you a lot of his character.
Excellent. Note: Faith is not beyond reason as in error groomed by diseased identities of family members not joined in consecrated marriages, celibate or male female, purported presumed by Bishop Barron but with it is inseparable and qualitatively equal as in uncertainty belief. Love is the keeping in uncertainty of belief in present moment real presence of the inseparability and qualitative equality of thinking gift mind and having faith heart need. Hope is the expectation that this keeping exercises an absolute power of simultaneous authorisations of this keeping in uncertainty of belief as non-consequentialist in present moment real presence of the inseparability and qualitative equality of ensuring roles, of ensuring roles and insuring identity, and of insuring identities as a triple trinitarian keeping in uncertainty of belief for which a reference point is Mary at Lk 1:29-45, Mt 1:24 with the "fulfilment" (Lk 1:45) in the keeping in uncertainty of belief of the inseparability and qualitative equality of rate of growth of food supplies in the developing countries and world population. This keeping in uncertainty of belief as inseparable was by the consecrated male female marriage vowed to God of Colin Clark in late 1964 by his advice simultaneously to the UNO Food and Agriculture Organisation and Pope St Paul V1's Commission on Population as completed adding 'qualitative equality' by his son, Oliver Clark, in his successive consecrated marriages, male female then on the death of his wife celibate on 31 March 2021 as then reference point for the consecrated celibate marriage of Pope Francis on 17 June 2021 in his keeping its inseparability and qualitative equality in uncertainty of his belief with consecrated male female marriage. This keeping by simultaneous authorisations on 17 June 2021 of a protest note against the Italian Parliament "Zan Bill" and criminal indictments of ten of Pope Francis's Vatican state personnel withstood extreme tensions of embezzlements of Pope Francis's consecrated celibate marriage's procreation role gift charity donations by these ten of his Vatican state helpers of the family, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu, by their criminal convictions on 18 December 2023 in his Vatican state court and an unacceptable risk of fraud on his consecrated celibate marriage's need of union of its identity by the Italian Parliament "Zan" anti-homophobia bill by defeat of this bill on 27 October 2021. The economic advantage by this bill and these embezzlements is occult as hidden, incest connected as substitute mate covered up by falsely purporting presuming "higher vocation" (Pope St John Paul 2's Council for the Family "Guidelines", TTMHS, PCF, 1995, 35, cf. St Paul's "opinion" at 1Cor7:25-34) of consecrated celibate marriage to consecrated male female marriage causing extreme tensions only withstood by consecrated marriage's exercise of an absolute power of authorisation.
I don't think we should be talking about Jesus doing certain things. We should be offended by some things. Otherwise, you end up with dumb people thinking it's ok to walk around naked and do things in public that should be done behind closed doors. And if we talk about Jesus in certain terms, we will get people disrespecting HIM.

This is why we are incarnate and as our bodies are temples of The Holy Spirit will be raised on the last day.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Did Mary understand she was conceived without sin?
Did she know she was special? Did her parents know?
I don’t think so, because the angel had to tell her. But it’s not really relevant.
She was known to pray for a fulfilling of prophecy, Elizabeth says in Luke 1:45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.

My question to the Muslim is, "are you saying that God can't defecate and urinate if He chooses to"?
According to them their god cannot even enter his own creation, because he is not powerful enough.
Their god is prideful because he is not able to show compassion by coming on earth and live with his creation, because is not befitting to make himself equal to us.
