You hit the mark, man... I'm a priest and too often my heart bleeds when I see fellow priests handling sacred species, it's a disaster. God bless you for pointing out this issue!
As he should… it is so sad to see irreverent activity during masses. I’ve seen it, and it breaks the heart. I’m glad you have a good priest, Bub. They’re kinda like flowers in that regard, one must cherish them.
I went to a mass recently with a visiting priest. He said the prayers of the mass so slowly and reverently even the air during mass felt different. I could not wait to receive our Blessed Lord in communion. If I could have run to his feet I would have. It was such a beautiful mass. I hope he returns soon. It was everything Holy Mass should be. It was truly heaven on earth.
We sometimes have a visiting priest, a Dominican, a professor at a nearby school of theology and philosophy. I still recall his first Mass with us, because at the consecration he pronounced each word with the greatest care-something like “Hoc. Est. Enim. Calix. Sanguinis. Mei…” (we have that rarity, a Novus Ordo High Mass in Latin). Without drama, it absolutely commanded attention and made it clear that something vast and significant was happening.
I remember the first Mass I saw my cousin Fr. Palmer pray. His deliberate movements and fidelity to the reality of Christ's presence was palpable. Brought tears to my eyes. I wish, hope, and pray that more people - priests and parishioners - truly believed the miracle that takes place on the Altar... ;(
I found this by attending daily masses at different parishes. It opened my eyes to how irreverent some (solidly Catholic) churches are. Obviously liberal churches are just irreverent by nature but I didn't notice how much better it could be until I went to other parishes more often. Now we drive about 50 mins, pass by about 5 catholic churches every Sunday to the most reverent parish that I know of in our diocese. I am thrilled. Still very sad for how irreverent most churches are 😢
@johanneshartman4618 With all due respect, you need to read the New Testament in its entirety. Pulling a verse out of context doesn't prove or disprove anything.
I am religious Sister and I appreciate you for this teaching and may our Lord continue to inspire you as you create this wonderful awareness to us all. God bless you
Sister, I tried to look for answers on the net but I can't find an answer about if Sisters can actually touch the Eucharist. Can they? I ask because some time ago I stayed at a Catholic hospital and Sisters distributed the Eucharist to all Catholic patients. A little scary experience as they ring a low tone bell while they move around. But they do just give it to you without reverence.
@@SirPoopallot- I’m not a sister yet, I am discerning, and while technically they can under Vatican II, it’s not advised. The priest should be the only one to touch the Host, and even then, they only touch the Host with 2 fingers.
@@eabm1984 that's too opaque - what are you suggesting? We have sainted martyrs who died to protect the Eucharist from people treating Jesus with indifference. Many would consider that radical & excessive. In fact, just believing in the Real Presence is considered radical & excessive by much of the world.
@johanneshartman4618 you weren't one of the Apostles, so their account is the one that matters not yours - that's essentially what NT Scripture is, after all, so if you revere the Bible, then you think so as well. However, how do you explain Jesus using bread as a symbol of His sacrifice? If your understanding were correct, then it would have been lamb rather than bread - especially since it was the Passover
@johanneshartman4618 Dude! believe Jesus "this IS my body", "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you". Andy doesn't teach it, he's too busy trying to be relevant.
If we believe Jesus is truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament we should receive Him on the tongue on our knees. Never in our hands. I refuse to receive Him in my hands.❤ God Bless the priesthood.
@@angelamargach7721some of us can’t or have difficulty kneeling. Pretty soon my knee will make it impossible for me to kneel to receive. I have started “half kneeling” for those parts of the mass so I can briefly kneel to receive. I will do this until I can’t any more. I’m just tired of people sounding inflexible in what they think others have to do. We need to be more charitable. We can receive reverently even on our hands but I agree we should all go back to receiving on the tongue. I was very uncomfortable during Covid because I had never before received on my hands. But I touched Him as reverently as I could even then.
@@angelamargach7721 So Jesus Himself did it wrong? Is ok to receive on tongue and in our knees, but there's nothing wrong with receiving in hands neither. God bless.
One of the altar boys at my parish was holding a communion plate but the Eucharist still fell on the floor. This wonderful young man got on his hands and knees and took the Eucharist straight from the floor with his mouth, so as to not touch it with his hands. Many people were crying in the Church due to this beautiful act from a child no less.
@stephenhoughton632 Hey, nice to see that you recognize the eucharist properly. Protestant or not, you agree with Catholic dogma more than 2/3 of Catholics do
Thank you so much. I became a convert in 2016 ONLY because of the real presence and I have seen so much abuse it breaks my heart. As a new Catholic, I haven't felt it was my place to speak about it but you have plainly confirmed my thoughts. Thank you.
Any cradler balking at the words of a "convert" doesn't really understand the rigors and paces they put you all through to get that label. Much in the same way that we talk and laugh sometimes about foreigners who speak English as a second language knowing more about its proper forms and usage, it is just the same here. Or another example, people who became naturalized citizens of the USA are more likely to know the Constitution and Declaration of Independence than those who are born-Americans. When one is given something for which they did nothing, one is apt to take that thing for granted. Not always, but the danger and examples of it are clear and everywhere.
God Love You Gabe! 100% on point here. I physically can’t watch Priests do these actions any longer… It is too overwhelming for me and the emotions are to hard to control. This is such an important message, thank you for producing and sharing this. God Love You
My brother in the Blessed Mother! It is an honor that you watched. YES! It is too overwhelming! I normally avoid parishes like this, but I went to a local parish for an adult confirmation... and the lay ministers and deacons were dropping Jesus everywhere! They were acting like Our Lord was popcorn! Keep up the good fight my friend!
@@gabiafterhours oh yes! The picture of popcorn falling came to my mind too! Not at all good. Jesus, give all of us reverence to Sacred Body and Blood.
I've seen the host dropped 3 times in the past year. The 3rd one my friend pointed our dear Lord on the floor so I went and picked Him up as the Deacon came to hand Him too. I regret I did not cross myself as I wanted to remove Him from the floor. I know of at least 1 priest of the 5 I know whom seems that he's given up. He's currently out on medical leave. I pray his demeanor changes. Thank you Gabe for this video.. amen!
As a convert from Protestantism i find it so hard to believe that a catholic can ever take the Eucharist for granted or not believe in His very real presence. This is the top of the list reason why i converted and its such a precious gift , i have shed tears at mass because im so overwhelmed that someone like me who is so unworthy gets to even be in the presence of the Eucharist , in the presence of God and i have yet to of had my first communion yet , i go up to be blessed. My first mass i attended i could not even look at the Eucharist because i felt such shame and unworthiness.
Welcome! That’s why I could never leave the Catholic Church no matter how bad it gets with the wolves pretending to be shepherds! It is still the church and Jesus is with us. With that said, I attend an FSSP parish. I get a high mass every Sunday and sometimes holy days. I can’t describe how beautiful it is. I grew up with novus ordo
Same here. I was fortunate that I had been baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church. When, as a Protestant, I became convinced of the real presence, I could not put off receiving Jesus in the Eucharist even one more Sunday.
May God bless you in your journey! Every act of reverence you offer to our Lord He sees and appreciates. Reverence shows respect, humility, gratitude, and an acknowledgement of His Supreme Authority over all creation.
you are aware that the devil tricked adam and eve to eat from the forbidden fruit that God said to NOT Eat, but the devil says EAT it's a lie "you will not surely die". Jesus created a new alliance so we wont perish but we will have eternal life. God now says at the last supper Luke 22:19-20. "Then he took the bread, and said his blessing, broke it, and gave it to them saying "this is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me." the devil now says DO NOT eat it , it is a lie, it is not his body, God is lying. the devil can speak on behalf of people to try to dismay you. listen to God and not the devil. Obey Gods teachings and not MAN MADE which are sects (demonic) because God is not present unless it is in his holy consecrated ritualistic mass that HE ordained for us so that we will have eternal life. if you know the truth do not keep condemning yourself, it will do more harm than good.
This got me emotional. Thank you so much for speaking on reverence of the Eucharist. Our Lord deserves every bit of reverence. He deserves for us to prostrate every time we receive him. I wish all Churches would go back to only the Priest giving the Eucharist on the tongue. Thank you so much Gabe. God bless you
Gabi, I stand with you 100% on this. You speak with incredible confidence, because you believe. I pray that more and more Priests and Bishops can see, teach, practice and believe with increasing humility and confidence.
Thank you so much!! Yes. Let us pray pray pray. This is the time for renewal. Please consider sharing this video. God bless you and Our Lady be with you!
@@gabiafterhours Can I ask if you have something like an online rosary ? I'm having a really hard time finding Catholics to pray the rosary. Maybe it's the climate up in Canada, but no one is particularly motivated to pray a public rosary outside the churches and I'm a single mother with 2 small kids. You promote the rosary a lot, just thought I'd ask if there was something you were working on. I have a really hard time praying alone and adding to the stress, these constant lockdowns. Then when my kids are being difficult, I sort of shut down. It helps me a lot more to have someone to be accountable with. Like, if I know I will say it with my brother than I'm more motivated. Thanks Gabi!
@@anamariakovacs5170Try keith Nestor the Rosary Crew he does it live everyday on you tube like around 3 pm he lives idaho somethong like that just in case for time difrence. 😄 i heard the devil say be quiet
@@gabiafterhours I don't think St Maximilian Kolbe ever received Our Lord in the hand prior to his ordination. Your point abt what the Church has historically always done falls flat in the face of trying to make Communion in the hand normative. Which, not even mentioning the preferred method of receiving on the tongue, this video pretty much reinforced. If you want to stress that the Lord IS that bread after consecration , i.e. "It" is not bread anymore, you should drop the historical piece altogether and marshall / buttress your primary point with other arguments. Conclusion: don't do this. Don't do Communion in the hand anymore.
@@anamariakovacs5170 Hey Ana, I’m not to sure if Gabi has an online Rosary group call, but I know I do! Every day at 7:30 some of my friends and I pray the Rosary and we are always open for newcomers! Let me know if you are interested 👍🏻
God, the Eternal Logos, who became flesh and was tortured beyond our imagination in mind, soul and body, the source of all love tortured by men whom He loved more than the tenderest Mother, humbles Himself to become bread and wine for us to eat and to drink, that He may dwell within us and we may have the life of our Father. I think we can all wait a few extra minutes, so that only those fingers which have been ordained in precious oils and anointed to handle the most vulnerable Body of our Lord may feed the flock entrusted to him.
At mass this morning I was saddened by just that same thing and then this video popped up on my TH-cam feed. Praise the Lord Jesus for your ministry Gabriel! This message needs to be told!
Gabriel, thank you!!! We DO drive 30 minutes to our beautiful Ordinariate church and receive on our knees, on our tongues and the reverence is out of this world! Pun intended. I am a Catholic school teacher and catechist in RCIA…. Your confidence blows me away…. Your humility is so beautiful. I want you to know you have boosted my confidence in teaching our faith…. I often have to do this in front of men who have Masters in theology and I often feel like “I’m just a mom” (but I study and prepare and prepare and study!) and your talk about what you learned from Steve Jobs made me feel so much more confident and I hope you see this because I want to thank you so much! I love you and I pray for you!
My catechist teacher taught us “do not take it from anyone except the priest” I took that deeply! I get looks because I will change lines to be in the line where only the priest gives it.
I belonged to a parish who had the most reverent pastor. When he held Jesus before me and said, “ The Body of Christ” , the way he looked at Jesus in the Eucharist and almost looked at me thru the Eucharist literally made me go weak in the knees. He trained his altar servers to serve with such profound reverence. So much was communicated from the altar just by the reverence of the priest and the servers. This beautiful priest actually had to leave our diocese bc there was no support for him and his holiness from our bishop and his brother priests. A heartbreaking and profound loss for us. We are blessed to have found another beautiful, reverent and holy pastor in the Anglican rite. God bless you, Gabe for having the courage to present this topic. May the hearts of priests be docile to the message.
@@KenPaulsenArchitect sorry, Ken. I should not have assumed that everyone knew that when I said Anglican rite, I didn’t mean Anglican Church. We belong to a parish that is fully under the magisterium of the church. It is a Fully Catholic parish that is a member of The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter which is its own diocese served by a Bishop that is a Roman Rite Bishop based in Texas. The Ordinariate was established by Pope Benedict XVI. It’s a personal Ordinariate in the Latin Rite. The liturgy is know as the Anglican Use of the Roman Rite but has some of the traditional Anglican elements. I liken our masses to a traditional Latin mass that is celebrated in English and not in Latin. It is extremely reverent. I learned what it truly means to OFFER WORSHIP to the Father by experiencing the celebration in this form. Thank you for commenting so that I could clarify my statement. I felt your sadness thinking that we had left our one, true Catholic Faith and I appreciate it!
You are SPOT ON!!! I stopped attending the Novus Ordo eight months ago once I found the Traditional Latin Mass. The amount of reverence that is displayed from the Priest and parishioners is night and day. Communion should be received kneeling on the tongue. I asked my 4 year old which Mass he thought made Jesus happier and he said the Latin Mass!!! The priest is the only one with consecrated hands. He is the only person who should touch our Lord. Thank you for making this video! If you are a Eucharistic Minister, you should really consider doing something else to help in the church.
In my country, Ecuador 🇪🇨. I’ve never seen something like this. Ever in my life. And I’m astonished. God bless you, keep talking about these things so you change many hearts.
@johanneshartman4618 Well, I believe he transubstantiated into bread and wine just like he said in the last supper. There is another passage In The Bible where he is really clear, he said this: “56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” John 6:56-60. If this helps understand great! If you steal don't get what we believe. Well, just keep loving God. I truly hope you come home. But love Jesus with your whole heart. He loves you 🙌🏻 and he will always guide you 🙏🏻♥️ God bless you 🤗🇪🇨 Sorry for any grammatical mistakes
You’re absolutely right, Gabe! Thank you for your demo and explanations. I am a young mother and refuse to be a an Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister. I AM NOT WORTHY TO HANDLE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! This is not a talent show folks. Our Lord DESERVES OUR UTMOST RESPECT and MUST be revered.
It's the result of poor training and poor formation. In the Old Rite the forefinger and thumb of the priest do not separate until the fraction rite and even there the care and respect remains. I only learned this (and much more ), after 30 yrs of being a priest. We were never taught anything about the the pre vatican II Mass. Now, as a retired priest in the U.K. I follow the rubrics as close as I can to the Old Rite - I only use the Canon (Euch1), and do as much as as I can in Latin including all the gestures proper to it without disrespecting the Usus antiquior. Between the stone cutters and the rainbows it's not an exaggeration to suggest that 80/90% of the current clergy in U.K. and Ireland belng to the latter category. If your priest never preaches on the difficult teachings contra sext - contra none then it's likely he belongs "the cabal" If he is climate friendly and leans to the left another sign for sure! Pray!
One of the larger churches in my city holds the consecrated hosts not at the altar but in a closet sized room down the hall near the bathrooms. People also frequently drop the host on the floor and step on it. It’s not a popular opinion but it seems quite common at the Novus Ordo churches here in my area (we tried many before we found our parish home). It makes my heart hurt to see the Pope pushing for the end of the Extraordinary Form for this reason, because I have never seen such irreverence at an EF Mass. I wish the reverence would be more focused on at NO Mass too. Thank you for speaking on this. Our Lord’s presence is one of our greatest gifts here in Earth!
Whitney B find a better church. Michael Voris from The Vortex said do not give your money to support these sacrilegious. Holy Priest's are far and few. Ask St. Joseph, Padre Pio, and St. Rita, ( Dynamic Trio) to help you find a Holy Church that shows reverence to our Lord.🙏✝️🙏♂️🙏. Also, could you please pray for me? I really need A LOT of prayer. Thank you. God bless you and yours.
complain to your diocese with like minded parishioners. Compose a letter exhorting them to follow the teachings of the church, of which also demands reverence and nothing but consecrated hands.
WOW! That is beautiful. The saints say that every effort you make to attend the Mass... every step is counted by your guardian angel and you will have a higher place in heaven. Keep it up. You are bringing countless graces to your family.
God bless you! My wife and I discovered a parish a half hour away 3 years ago that offers the traditional Latin Mass. It is so beautiful and reverent!! I have never been back to my old parish.
While most of the time I offer the Traditional Latin Mass, I am sometimes asked to assist with distributing communion or concelebrating the Ordinary Form if the bishop of our Diocese is visiting the parishes where I serve. In addition to your wonderful reminders, I would add one thing. I keep on the altar in the private oratory where I celebrate private daily Mass, and a few parishes still keep an ablution cup next to the tabernacle. It is a small glass or metal container that has water in it and is used to purify the fingers after touching the Most Sacred Body of our Lord in the Eucharist. At the end of the day, it can be consumed by the priest or if there are multiple people using it throughout the day, sprinkled over plants in the garden (I keep some flowers and roses in the garden to place before our Lady's image). When I make a hospital visit, I have a little metal cup and take a small bottle of water to purify my fingers and the Pyx once the last host is consumed. In this case, I purify my fingers before moving to the next patient room, and then put a bit more water in to purify the little cup. One could always ask for one of the little plastic medicine cups from the nurses too, just do not toss it in the trash at the end. Keep it and use it each time you go to sick or hospital visits. Just a warning. Practice purifying your fingers, as using the little cup, you don't want to splash water around, so it will take some practice to know how much water to use for yourself. Pray for me a sinner, and all deacons, priests, and bishops.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are an inspiration father. Be assured of my prayers for you and for those that you serve. May Our Lady be your constant companion. God bless you!
@@gabiafterhours If you don't know the story, look up why Archbishop Fulton J Sheen started making a daily Holy Hour. I do think about the reason each day and ask our dear Lord for the graces of His passion to be enkindled in the hearts of all, especially those He shares His priesthood with. The glories of the priesthood are that it is Christ's priesthood that He shares with me and other men, not anything we ourselves can bring to Him and His priesthood. It is only through conforming our lives to His that we can become good priests.
Only priests should distribute communion. On your knees and on your tounge at the communion rail. If you don't have a communion rail drop down to your knees. In our parish, nobody even gets the choice of receiving in their hands. This is why TLM is where it's at.
We need to pray to the Blessed Virgin to offer to her son, Our Lord, reparations on our behalf for the many suffrages committed against him fully present in the Holy Eucharist. Thank you for this ♥️
@@gabiafterhours it’s complete heresy that people think they can receive Consecrated host on the hand, but there hands aren’t consecrated. Another thing that needs to happen is moving the tabernacle in the middle, most churches in my diocese don’t have it in the middle. what went wrong with Vatican II I don’t think Saint Pope Paul 6 had this in his vision.
Gabi thank you for your boldness and humility to bring out what our Church needs most right now! I have already asked our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph that this video would be seen widely by as many in Leadership that can make a great movement to greater reverence to our Lord in how we receive our Lord. As laypeople, if this moved your heart, I ask that you too storm Heaven with prayers to our Mother and St Joseph that this video go viral amongst the priesthood that we see a revival of belief and trust in the True Presence!
Paul! Wow. Your message is a true inspiration. Thank you for your prayers. YES. WE MUST push this information with all of our might and then pray HARD. God bless you my friend. Mary and Joseph be with you always!
That's exactly how they do it in Medjugorje. And, ONLY priests distribute communion. AND, it's on the tongue! I had such powerful encounters with the Eucharistic Christ in Medjugorje. And, these encounters continue over 2 years later.
You are lucky, me too I found a NO parrish were the priests are extremely reverent to our Lord's communion, only in the tongue, half kneeling or kneeling, etc.
Thank you for this bro Gabriel, I’m from Nigeria and i will say in my parish our priest do what you suggested, they already fill all the ciborium before bringing it to the alter
Great video, but I fear that this is only one action that shows a lack of reverence. Lay eucharistic ministers, laity receiving in the hand, tabernacles being moved from front and center off to side areas, lack of sacred silence before and after Mass just to mention a few. Thank you for pointing this out. I love your videos.
Yes!! All these actions must be erased if the faithful are ever to truly understand that Our Lord, the King of kings is with us who are wholly unworthy to receive Him.
Exactly. I live in Belgium and there aren't many people in Masses so I have never seen this action, but the lack of reverence is absolutely dreadful in all the other actions and you just see the lack of faith. For example in the way of holding up the Host during consecration etc. So it's really not just about this particular action...
I’m not Catholic (yet?) but it is really helpful and good to have people making content where they unreservedly present and elaborate on the teaching of the Eucharist.
I was ordained in 1989, and I agree that being a veteran doesn't mean one can't be fraternally corrected. This is a very edifying video, and I want to thank you for your humility and zeal for the Eucharist. All priests need to hear this!
If only priest would understand that we faithful Catholics want to receive God on our tongue and kneeling without receiving him on the hand and standing I don't care how long the mass will be an hour or two hours but I prefer receiving the Eucharist from the priest and no one else Gabi thanks a million for this video and I hope that priests, deacons, and laymen stop doing sacrilege to God
@johanneshartman4618 John 6:53 So Jesus said again, 'I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you
I Have been wondering how I can show/teach my sons what it is to be reverent at mass. Lately, I have been feeling restless at my current church- not understanding exactly why. After stumbling onto this video, it is exactly what I needed to hear- giving some clarity. Thank you for posting this! I prayer it reaches the hearts of many lay people and priests.
You just took the first step towards the TLM. The passion and righteous anger you spoke with is why those of us your age are flocking to the Tradional Latin Mass. God bless you
Is it just TLM?, because that sacredness and zeal I have found in NO in abbies, in small churches, in many places. After going to TLM and NO I personally did not feel more (or less) moved by the Lithurgy, when done reverently. So no, it is not on the Form of the Lithurgy. Latin can also be said hastily as it happened for centuries.
Oh yes the TLM are the Righteous people and the NO are the ....... My gosh don't you people know what you sound like always cutting down your fellow Catholic and puffing yourselves up. IN truth there are just as many sinners at both Masses. Stop comparing. Its like the story Jesus told of the man who did not lift his head in the temple and the Pharisee who exclaims thank God I am not like that man!
@@auxiliarylens3876 because of Canon 32-1. No one can validly transfer to another Church sui iuris without the consent of the Apostolic See. Once you are baptised in one Catholic rite, you cannot simply change it at will, you need permission from your ordinary to do so.
Actions speak louder than words! Indeed this is true, something I often say! Another very informative & inspirational video. Agree fully with everything! “Giving Jesus to your children is the best gift” I was so blessed on Friday, went to mass in Prague, so mass was in Czech- (done an online mass before so knew the readings) never understood a word BUT was so very blessed and emotional to receive the Eucharist dipped in the blood on the tongue! First tie since start of covid. Jesus and our blessed mother lead us there. We went because we saw it was adoration and we’re doubly blessed when we realised mass followed! 🙏 🙏 🙏
WOW! Powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing that. Remind me... did you mention that you were from Ohio? If so I might be in Canton during spring break. I would love to speak there. Maybe it was somebody else...
@@gabiafterhours hi. No I am South African, but live in Dubai. Came to Prague to drop my son at university. I would love to hear you speak though- some day, God willing 🙏
At my small parish at El Salvador, we don't have that problem. Only one recipient with hosts is put on the altar, and after the Consecration the priest goes to the Tabernacle and takes the Eucharist to distribute Him to the parishioners.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am discerning going into the deaconate and this video has inspired me to move ahead with greater fervor. It is not about being a policeman looking for abuses, but entering into a deeper understanding of the Eucharist so as to become an example and model of Christ to others.
One time I was serving Low Mass with about 700 people in attendance and we loaded all the ciborium (with covers) prior to Mass as usual. It never occurred to me since I am not used to seeing it that in many places the priests consecrate in one giant ciborium and shovel Christ around to the empty ones. Thank you for making this video!
I’m a eucharistic minister but I truly believe that Jesus is the Holy Eucharist so I hold Him in the most reverent way and I make sure that the communicant put Him in his mouth but then I feel so sad seeing 90% of those whom I serve just take our Lord irreverently 😭😭😭😭😭😭
NAILED IT!!! sooo good. So many need to see this video. "I'm sorry I'm getting upset" lol You are the best, Gabrielle! Thank you for spreading the TRUTH!
+AMEN+ 🙏🏻Thank you dear Gabriel🙏🏻 Yes, this is why we have changed our last parish just down the street to our new FSSPX Parish a twenty minute drive away. Worth every added kilometer in order to worship, adore and receive our most beautiful sweet Eucharistic Jesus the way He deserves. The longer drive gives us time to pray the Rosary on our way, which is also wonderful. Oh the horrific irreverance has to stop, we pray for reform, we pray that our Holy Spirit bring about deep conversion, deep love and courage for our Eucharistic Lord and God in all hearts. +May our Jesus, our sweet Mother Mary and our dear Papa Joseph bless you and make you holy+ 🙏🏻🕊🔥+❤️+🔥🕊🙏🏻 prayerfully, Angèle
Dear Ken, The Priests in the Parish we belong to are all having the intention to find full communion with the Church and pray for our Holy Father daily. They never speak negatively about our Holy Father the Pope. They are not schismatics or sedevacantists but speak strongly against this way of thinking. We are aware that some SSPX Priests and Parishes are on this wrong track and that these must be avoided at all cost. We continue to pray for Holy unity and reform. Here is some good information: “The canonical situation of the SSPX and of its clergy has been the subject of controversy since the 1988 Écône consecrations. While the society is not listed in Annuario Pontificio as a recognized society of apostolic life, it has nonetheless benefited from some significant allowances normally granted only to recognized orders and societies. A 1995 letter from the Pontifical Commission stated that there is "no doubt about the validity of the ordination of the priests of the Society of St. Pius X. They are, however, suspended a divinis."[42] In the November-December 2017 edition of the society's publication The Angelus, Fr. Francois Knittel, SSPX, wrote: "The Church authorities have gradually recognized the liceity and the validity of the ministry performed by the priests of the SSPX."[43] Marriage Edit On 27 March 2017, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith communicated that Pope Francis had decided to grant local ordinaries the right to give to a priest in good standing the faculty to preside at the marriage of followers of the society, immediately after which they will participate in a Mass celebrated by an SSPX priest, or, if no priest in good standing can receive the consent of the couple, to give the faculty instead to an SSPX priest. Previously, in 2008, the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei had stated: "The priests of the Society of St. Pius X are ... prohibited from exercising their priestly functions," going on to conclude that, in the case of matrimony, "these sacraments are invalid," since a suspended priest lacks the proper delegation from the bishop.[44] Confession Edit On 20 November 2016, Pope Francis personally and indefinitely extended an allowance he created during the Holy Year of 2015, whereby penitents confessing to priests affiliated with the SSPX "shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins."[45] Ordination and Holy Orders Edit During an interview with TV Libertes on 29 January 2017, Bishop Fellay announced that theological discussions with the Holy See had led to permission for the society to licitly ordain priests: "This summer it was confirmed that the Superior General can freely ordain the priests of the society without having to ask permission from the local bishop."[46] Mass Edit In 2020, Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy and dean of theology at the Regina Apostolorum university in Rome, reaffirmed the statement he made in 2011, before Pope Benedict granted certain faculties in favor of SSPX priests. After declaring that "the Masses celebrated by members of the Society of St. Pius X are valid but illicit, i.e., contrary to Canon Law", he said: "The mere fact of assisting at a Mass of this society is not a sin. It would only become so if a person attended this Mass with the deliberate intention of separating himself from communion with the Pope and those in communion with him. I would say, therefore, that a conscientious Catholic should not knowingly attend a Mass celebrated by a priest not in good standing with the Church." He added: "Only if there is objectively no alternative should one attend the Mass celebrated by a priest from the Society of St. Pius X. If one has to do so, then I would say that one may go in good conscience and receive Communion at such a Mass. It would also fulfill the Sunday obligation", and explained that "alternative" is not limited to "Mass in the extraordinary form": a Catholic who seeks this form but finds none available other than the SSPX celebration "should attend an ordinary form Mass or even any Eastern Catholic celebration so as to remain in full Catholic communion".[44][47] Jurisdiction Edit When told by a journalist of InfoVaticana, a provider of religious information founded in Madrid in October 2013,[48] that what Pope Francis had decided in March 2017 was instead that, "from now on, the weddings celebrated by the priests from the FSSPX are going to be recognized," Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who had not seen the actual document, remarked: "That is a very significant action of the Holy Father, and it also indicates that in some way there must be a reconciliation of the FSSPX because basically what the Pope is saying is that the priests in this society, when they witness marriages, are exercising jurisdiction in the Roman Catholic Church."[49] In reality, it is local ordinaries, not the society, that in the document are authorized, if they wish, to delegate jurisdiction to SSPX priests to assist canonically at some marriages. The society's view is that, before Pope Francis's authorizations, their priests held "supplied" jurisdiction (power of governance) for confessions and marriages. They received this supplied jurisdiction by law and not "by delegation or by mandate of the Sovereign Pontiff or the diocesan bishops or of regularly appointed parish priests."[50][51][52] Since the grants by Pope Francis, the society says that its priests have or can have ordinary jurisdiction for the sacraments of confession and marriage. It adds that, in cases where a diocesan bishop refuses to grant delegation for a marriage, SSPX priests can still use extraordinary jurisdiction.[53]”
Just wonderful!! God bls u Gabe. Very strong & deep teaching. Thank u 4 reminding us th true presence of our Lord in th blsed Sacrament & 2 always giv God reverence that He deserves 4rom all of us. May God's favour remain wit u & ua loved ones now & 4ever,thr Jesus Christ, amen. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Great topic! I thought I was the only one who sees an issue with how the sacred hosts are being handled at the altar. Thanks for speaking up about this.
I totally agree with you too Gabi 🙏✝️❤️! Thank you for teaching us to be real holy catholics, May God bless you and keep you close to him always and thank you for your time, for sharing with us, may God always be glorified in your work, thank you for encouraging us to be blod and to lead by example as our Christ and Saviour did 🙏Amen!
Good on ya Gab. We need more people like you standing up for Jesus. I Pray in hope one day there could be reverence for the whole Mass return to TLM. This is where there is a while Mass of reverence. Our Lady help of Christians Pray for us.
Thank you so very much for this. I was converted 12 years ago in the UK and since had returned to my homeland, Singapore in the last couple of years. I so wanted to shout aloud to the Priests, we know how you feel by your every moves from this side of the altar. We know when you felt under pressure, in a hurry or acting in automation mode. Dare I say your every actions reflect how much reverence, love and believes when you held the precious Jesus in your consecrated hands. Take your time like a mother with a new borned babe. For those who attend Mass daily, they will wait patiently and for those who attend Mass on Sundays only then even more so spending a little extract time in God's house should not present an issue. Look at the depiction of picture/sculpture where Jesus held the lost sheep that he found how its was held securely over his shoulders, it speaks love.
Solution: get to a Traditional Latin Mass. We shouldn't be allowing unconsecrated fingers (lay ministers) touching our Lord either. The Traditional Latin Masses I go to, they get another priest to come up and distribute Holy Communion from seperate Ciboriums, which already contains The Consecrated Sacred Hosts. Also, as someone receiving Holy Communion, don't touch our Lord. Recieve Him only on the tongue and kneeling. *You are literally receiving God, the very God Whom angels tremble at the sight off, into you* Don't take it for granted. Even if you're going to a "reverent" N.O Mass, remember, in The Latin Mass you're surrounded by posture, music, paintings and architecture that are all aimed at drawing attention to The God Who becomes your food.
Excellent video, thank you! As a convert, I was shocked to watch parishioners nonchalantly walk past extraordinary Eucharistic ministers holding ciborium with Christ inside. May God bless folks like you who share the profound truth of the Eucharist!
God bless you Brother couldn’t agree with you more. This is the reason why I pray and hope my children ask why I’m on my knees when receiving the Holy Eucharist. My answer is simple, Reverence. Thanks for the video Brother in Christ. ✊🏽❤️🙏🏽
Yes I agree! Here’s an idea to show reverence for the Lord: Bring back kneeling to receive Holy Communion. Let only consecrated hands touch the Blessed Sacrament, meaning Priests or Deacons. Receive Communion on the tongue.That is reverence. Also genuflect when you enter a pew, this shows reverence for we know who is in the tabernacle.
Thank you for saying this! I once visited a different parish and a lay Eucharist minister was doing just what you did putting his hands all over consecrated hosts on the altar putting away leftover hosts after communion. There were so many hosts that the bowl he poured them into overflowed and several fell on the altar. He literally man handled the hosts in front of everyone. The priest was sitting on the side unaware of what was going on. My heart hurt and broke at the sight. I then got angry for the disrespect and disregard for Our Lord.
We used to have a priest from the seminary come to celebrate mass with us in our parish. He spoke the words on consecration slowly and clearly and deliberately. When handling the host, he was so reverent you SAW he BELIEVED that he was holding Jesus in his hands. That, in turn, moved me and made me weep at the real presence. I pray more priests would have such reverence.
Jesus was a religious radical too. Only the world speaks of this as negative, but to God, that is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for being so passionate about this and presenting the Truth. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit so powerful as I watched your video. I truly believe you have done the Father’s will in making this video. I hope Priests will watch this and be moved to do things differently. God bless you!!
Dear Father. I was an extraordinary special minister for a few years before Covid. I was ask to become one and I never thought it was wrong at the time. How will God ever forgive me. I will not be one again.
Ask, he will forgive you. I didn’t know about a lot of thing about the church until I researched it myself. When I found the truth I asked for forgiveness and never did it again. The key is that you didn’t know.
God bless you Gabi. This video touched my spirit. I never noticed it in my church but I'll be looking out for that and I will speak on that if that is happening.
This is so important. Posture, movements and the bodily language used in mass is so important! I’ve been telling this to my family and parish for years and they all say “what matters is the intention of the heart”. Well sure, but if the intention of the heart is true…why is it not translated externally? I live in a Muslim dominant country. I don’t agree with their theology, but the way they pray is so reverant. Every movement, even the position of their fingers, have a spiritual meaning. And that is why when a christian converts to Islam, they claim to have a deeper sense of spirituality while doing Salah compared to during Mass. Because the emphasis and significance of bodily language has been so lost in today’s worship, that the people subconsciously look for it in other religions. It’s heart breaking. What’s worse is that they don’t even realize its happening! I truly hope our church will be renewed. Revive back old traditions. Remind back the rituals and mystical sense of the Mass. By God’s Will, the Church will fluorish once more.
The Traditional Latin Mass will take care of all of this. This is why people like me cringe at many N.O. parishes. Thank you for calling attention to this.
Thank you ❤ Actions speak louder than words 🎯 Ad orientem, the rail and kneeling and on the tongue are also essential to help the flock understand true presence.
@@TheJewishCatholic Whoa! Praise be to God. Congratulations my man! That's awesome news. Prayers for all of you. Btw I just watched Gideon Lazaar on Pints With Aquinas. Jewish convert also. He'd be great on your show when you're ready to jump back in. Cheers!
I'm a Religious. I thank you Gabriel for standing for truth. Your are so on point, wish all priests will learn from you. Be strengthened by grace. It's so heartbroken watching the way priests handle Our Lord. Some of them use all the fingers to break the large host they consume then immediately use the same hand to move the microphone and missal, without a thought that they just broke the Eucharist. The way they hand the smaller ciboriums to their 'servants' is also deplorable, with one hand extended sideways as if throwing something away.
Gabe..thank you for articulating what the lay people have been thinking. It hurts my heart and I'm sure many, when the priests act these ways. When a priest lead worship with reverence and there is no distractions, the Mass is so intense as worship is rightly directed to pleasing God!! ❤
It's like your sharing chips for a party. Thank you for informing people that Our Lord is Holy, Holy Holy. We can't even describe how Holy Our Lord is.
This is so true. It breaks my heart to hear that 69% of Catholics today don't believe in the real presence, and I believe that this is a big part of the problem. I've seen so much liturgical abuse in different parishes I've attended in the last few months and it's heartbreaking. Today I decided to attend a New parish that I heard was fairly traditional. They played a video during Mass about why you should donate. There was clapping during and after Mass. I attended a Christmas Eve Mass this where the priest said he was having a special guest. Santa Claus walked in during the Mass and started saying "ho, ho, ho". Everyone was clapping and I was disgusted. The parish near my house has denied me Communion on the tongue multiple times and I've heard the paster say God's name in vain in an irreverent way during Holy Mass. What's even worse are the schools. The uniform skirts for Catholic high schools in my area bring me to tears. The fact that they wear these skirts to Mass breaks my heart. Nobody has any respect or reverence for the Eucharist anymore. All we can do is hope and pray. Thank you for spreading this message which isn't talked about enough. God bless and Mary be with you:)
This "church" with Santa Claus and the donation video would no longer be my Church. It sounds like your priest doesn't take anything very seriously. How did he even graduate from seminary? Shake the dust from your sandals and move on to the next place, until you find one that actually welcomes the Lord and listens to Him. Good luck. Too many congregations want to make Jesus all about what they want to believe, rather than what He says. My advice? Stay away from secularized churches, and from the "holier than thou" churches too.
When I was in Medjugorje on a youth festival, they prepared lots of wooden stackable trays with saboriums with hosts before consecration. And after the concecration they gave tens of thousands of communions. Very proper and reverent.
This was very moving. We lack this passion for our faith in so many places worldwide. Pray for us here in south africa. We are battling with this very topic. We also will pray for you
I worked at a parish as a faith formation coordinator a couple of years ago. I only lasted 5 months because I was misunderstood for my love and faith in Jesus. I decided it was best to leave, my heart couldn't handle the things I experienced. I went to confession to this priest for my sorrow and anger towards him. He apologized and I never went back there after that. This was so powerful, thank you!
You hit the mark, man... I'm a priest and too often my heart bleeds when I see fellow priests handling sacred species, it's a disaster. God bless you for pointing out this issue!
Fr. Thank YOU! Thank you for your yes every day to the Lord. It is holy priests like you that inspire the faithful. Thank you!
Please please never give it on the hand
Please Father don’t allow Eucharistic ministers.
Join the TRADITIONAL Mass !! Because unfortunately even you as a priest, can do nothing about it !
Thank you for being a faithful priest Father.
We drive two hours to Mass every Sunday, and two hours back to be able to receive Our Lord with reverence. Jesus is King! Thank you for this video.
I pray I can one day have a motivation like that.
@@sethabel4315 go to adoration, spend time with Jesus, in holy hours, and you will.
Wow what amazing weekly pilgrimage! May God bless you and your loved ones. Amen
Our parish priest, says three masses on sunday morning and distributes the Eucharist by himself, he takes it very seriously.
Bless him!
As he should… it is so sad to see irreverent activity during masses. I’ve seen it, and it breaks the heart. I’m glad you have a good priest, Bub. They’re kinda like flowers in that regard, one must cherish them.
May his kind increase
Wonderful
@@cardinalbubxiii803 what you said? Yall still believe in santa?
I went to a mass recently with a visiting priest. He said the prayers of the mass so slowly and reverently even the air during mass felt different. I could not wait to receive our Blessed Lord in communion. If I could have run to his feet I would have. It was such a beautiful mass. I hope he returns soon. It was everything Holy Mass should be. It was truly heaven on earth.
We sometimes have a visiting priest, a Dominican, a professor at a nearby school of theology and philosophy. I still recall his first Mass with us, because at the consecration he pronounced each word with the greatest care-something like “Hoc. Est. Enim. Calix. Sanguinis. Mei…” (we have that rarity, a Novus Ordo High Mass in Latin). Without drama, it absolutely commanded attention and made it clear that something vast and significant was happening.
I remember the first Mass I saw my cousin Fr. Palmer pray. His deliberate movements and fidelity to the reality of Christ's presence was palpable. Brought tears to my eyes. I wish, hope, and pray that more people - priests and parishioners - truly believed the miracle that takes place on the Altar... ;(
I wonder if that was Fr. John Mary?❤
I found this by attending daily masses at different parishes. It opened my eyes to how irreverent some (solidly Catholic) churches are. Obviously liberal churches are just irreverent by nature but I didn't notice how much better it could be until I went to other parishes more often. Now we drive about 50 mins, pass by about 5 catholic churches every Sunday to the most reverent parish that I know of in our diocese. I am thrilled. Still very sad for how irreverent most churches are 😢
@johanneshartman4618 With all due respect, you need to read the New Testament in its entirety. Pulling a verse out of context doesn't prove or disprove anything.
I am religious Sister and I appreciate you for this teaching and may our Lord continue to inspire you as you create this wonderful awareness to us all. God bless you
Thank you Sister for your yes.
Thank you Sister for your yes.
Sister, I tried to look for answers on the net but I can't find an answer about if Sisters can actually touch the Eucharist. Can they? I ask because some time ago I stayed at a Catholic hospital and Sisters distributed the Eucharist to all Catholic patients. A little scary experience as they ring a low tone bell while they move around. But they do just give it to you without reverence.
Thank you Sister for your yes.
@@SirPoopallot- I’m not a sister yet, I am discerning, and while technically they can under Vatican II, it’s not advised. The priest should be the only one to touch the Host, and even then, they only touch the Host with 2 fingers.
NO Gabe! you aren't being radical. You're being truly Catholic and we love you for it.
Jim! Great hearing from you! Loved hearing you on the radio today!
Yeah, no. There is an excess that turns people radical and unwittingly stand in STARK contrast to what God desires for us.
@@eabm1984 that's too opaque - what are you suggesting? We have sainted martyrs who died to protect the Eucharist from people treating Jesus with indifference. Many would consider that radical & excessive. In fact, just believing in the Real Presence is considered radical & excessive by much of the world.
@johanneshartman4618 you weren't one of the Apostles, so their account is the one that matters not yours - that's essentially what NT Scripture is, after all, so if you revere the Bible, then you think so as well. However, how do you explain Jesus using bread as a symbol of His sacrifice? If your understanding were correct, then it would have been lamb rather than bread - especially since it was the Passover
@johanneshartman4618 Dude! believe Jesus "this IS my body", "unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you". Andy doesn't teach it, he's too busy trying to be relevant.
I am a priest. Thank you. Eye opener...Have mercy Lord
If we believe Jesus is truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament we should receive Him on the tongue on our knees. Never in our hands. I refuse to receive Him in my hands.❤ God Bless the priesthood.
Canon digits.
@@angelamargach7721some of us can’t or have difficulty kneeling. Pretty soon my knee will make it impossible for me to kneel to receive. I have started “half kneeling” for those parts of the mass so I can briefly kneel to receive. I will do this until I can’t any more. I’m just tired of people sounding inflexible in what they think others have to do. We need to be more charitable. We can receive reverently even on our hands but I agree we should all go back to receiving on the tongue. I was very uncomfortable during Covid because I had never before received on my hands. But I touched Him as reverently as I could even then.
@@angelamargach7721 So Jesus Himself did it wrong?
Is ok to receive on tongue and in our knees, but there's nothing wrong with receiving in hands neither.
God bless.
Thank youuu sooo much!!! This gives me so much hope!!!
One of the altar boys at my parish was holding a communion plate but the Eucharist still fell on the floor. This wonderful young man got on his hands and knees and took the Eucharist straight from the floor with his mouth, so as to not touch it with his hands. Many people were crying in the Church due to this beautiful act from a child no less.
@johanneshartman4618 huh?
@johanneshartman4618 No, we worship Jesus. Communion help us to be with him.
@@antigonarosaura7845 It clearly is not worshipping Jesus if you are having a child eat "GOD" off of the floor. SMH You are insane.
@johanneshartman4618 He also said this is my body. I am a protestant. Stop irreverence to the lord.
@stephenhoughton632 Hey, nice to see that you recognize the eucharist properly. Protestant or not, you agree with Catholic dogma more than 2/3 of Catholics do
Thank you so much. I became a convert in 2016 ONLY because of the real presence and I have seen so much abuse it breaks my heart. As a new Catholic, I haven't felt it was my place to speak about it but you have plainly confirmed my thoughts. Thank you.
You have as much right as anyone, and we all have an obligation to kick out those that do not follow our Lord's word and our true church teachings.
Extraodinary form
Any cradler balking at the words of a "convert" doesn't really understand the rigors and paces they put you all through to get that label. Much in the same way that we talk and laugh sometimes about foreigners who speak English as a second language knowing more about its proper forms and usage, it is just the same here. Or another example, people who became naturalized citizens of the USA are more likely to know the Constitution and Declaration of Independence than those who are born-Americans. When one is given something for which they did nothing, one is apt to take that thing for granted. Not always, but the danger and examples of it are clear and everywhere.

God Love You Gabe! 100% on point here. I physically can’t watch Priests do these actions any longer… It is too overwhelming for me and the emotions are to hard to control. This is such an important message, thank you for producing and sharing this. God Love You
My brother in the Blessed Mother! It is an honor that you watched. YES! It is too overwhelming! I normally avoid parishes like this, but I went to a local parish for an adult confirmation... and the lay ministers and deacons were dropping Jesus everywhere! They were acting like Our Lord was popcorn! Keep up the good fight my friend!
Yes.
@@gabiafterhours oh yes! The picture of popcorn falling came to my mind too! Not at all good. Jesus, give all of us reverence to Sacred Body and Blood.
I've seen the host dropped 3 times in the past year. The 3rd one my friend pointed our dear Lord on the floor so I went and picked Him up as the Deacon came to hand Him too. I regret I did not cross myself as I wanted to remove Him from the floor. I know of at least 1 priest of the 5 I know whom seems that he's given up. He's currently out on medical leave. I pray his demeanor changes. Thank you Gabe for this video.. amen!
As a convert from Protestantism i find it so hard to believe that a catholic can ever take the Eucharist for granted or not believe in His very real presence. This is the top of the list reason why i converted and its such a precious gift , i have shed tears at mass because im so overwhelmed that someone like me who is so unworthy gets to even be in the presence of the Eucharist , in the presence of God and i have yet to of had my first communion yet , i go up to be blessed. My first mass i attended i could not even look at the Eucharist because i felt such shame and unworthiness.
Welcome!
That’s why I could never leave the Catholic Church no matter how bad it gets with the wolves pretending to be shepherds! It is still the church and Jesus is with us. With that said, I attend an FSSP parish. I get a high mass every Sunday and sometimes holy days. I can’t describe how beautiful it is.
I grew up with novus ordo
Same here.
I was fortunate that I had been baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church.
When, as a Protestant, I became convinced of the real presence, I could not put off receiving Jesus in the Eucharist even one more Sunday.
God bless you! Wonderful!
May God bless you in your journey! Every act of reverence you offer to our Lord He sees and appreciates. Reverence shows respect, humility, gratitude, and an acknowledgement of His Supreme Authority over all creation.
you are aware that the devil tricked adam and eve to eat from the forbidden fruit that God said to NOT Eat, but the devil says EAT it's a lie "you will not surely die". Jesus created a new alliance so we wont perish but we will have eternal life. God now says at the last supper Luke 22:19-20. "Then he took the bread, and said his blessing, broke it, and gave it to them saying "this is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me." the devil now says DO NOT eat it , it is a lie, it is not his body, God is lying. the devil can speak on behalf of people to try to dismay you. listen to God and not the devil. Obey Gods teachings and not MAN MADE which are sects (demonic) because God is not present unless it is in his holy consecrated ritualistic mass that HE ordained for us so that we will have eternal life. if you know the truth do not keep condemning yourself, it will do more harm than good.
Exactly, I agree’! I do not mind waiting in a long line for a priest to serve me the sacrament. Please spread this awareness!
Churches need to bring back the communion rail
Lord, I don't deserve you to come to me but just say a word and I will be healed... Amen (I am a Javanese Catholic living in Indonesia)
Thanks
This got me emotional. Thank you so much for speaking on reverence of the Eucharist. Our Lord deserves every bit of reverence. He deserves for us to prostrate every time we receive him. I wish all Churches would go back to only the Priest giving the Eucharist on the tongue. Thank you so much Gabe. God bless you
Me too, I cried
Gabi, I stand with you 100% on this. You speak with incredible confidence, because you believe. I pray that more and more Priests and Bishops can see, teach, practice and believe with increasing humility and confidence.
Thank you so much!! Yes. Let us pray pray pray. This is the time for renewal. Please consider sharing this video. God bless you and Our Lady be with you!
@@gabiafterhours Can I ask if you have something like an online rosary ? I'm having a really hard time finding Catholics to pray the rosary. Maybe it's the climate up in Canada, but no one is particularly motivated to pray a public rosary outside the churches and I'm a single mother with 2 small kids. You promote the rosary a lot, just thought I'd ask if there was something you were working on. I have a really hard time praying alone and adding to the stress, these constant lockdowns. Then when my kids are being difficult, I sort of shut down. It helps me a lot more to have someone to be accountable with. Like, if I know I will say it with my brother than I'm more motivated. Thanks Gabi!

@@gabiafterhours I don't think St Maximilian Kolbe ever received Our Lord in the hand prior to his ordination.
Your point abt what the Church has historically always done falls flat in the face of trying to make Communion in the hand normative. Which, not even mentioning the preferred method of receiving on the tongue, this video pretty much reinforced.
If you want to stress that the Lord IS that bread after consecration , i.e. "It" is not bread anymore, you should drop the historical piece altogether and marshall / buttress your primary point with other arguments.
Conclusion: don't do this. Don't do Communion in the hand anymore.
@@anamariakovacs5170 Hey Ana, I’m not to sure if Gabi has an online Rosary group call, but I know I do! Every day at 7:30 some of my friends and I pray the Rosary and we are always open for newcomers! Let me know if you are interested 👍🏻

@johanneshartman4618By the action of the Holy Spirit - love itself - it becomes the Body of Christ.
@johanneshartman4618 Give it up, man. You're all over this post, making the same inane comment. We aren't listening.
It also wouldn't take that long if the Priest would just distribute our Lord by himself. Thanks for this man
Yes!!!
This 👆🏻
Totally agree!
God, the Eternal Logos, who became flesh and was tortured beyond our imagination in mind, soul and body, the source of all love tortured by men whom He loved more than the tenderest Mother, humbles Himself to become bread and wine for us to eat and to drink, that He may dwell within us and we may have the life of our Father.
I think we can all wait a few extra minutes, so that only those fingers which have been ordained in precious oils and anointed to handle the most vulnerable Body of our Lord may feed the flock entrusted to him.
Put the altar rails back in! Do it as intinction+
At mass this morning I was saddened by just that same thing and then this video popped up on my TH-cam feed. Praise the Lord Jesus for your ministry Gabriel! This message needs to be told!
Gabriel, thank you!!! We DO drive 30 minutes to our beautiful Ordinariate church and receive on our knees, on our tongues and the reverence is out of this world! Pun intended.
I am a Catholic school teacher and catechist in RCIA…. Your confidence blows me away…. Your humility is so beautiful. I want you to know you have boosted my confidence in teaching our faith…. I often have to do this in front of men who have Masters in theology and I often feel like “I’m just a mom” (but I study and prepare and prepare and study!) and your talk about what you learned from Steve Jobs made me feel so much more confident and I hope you see this because I want to thank you so much! I love you and I pray for you!
What’s worrying is that 90% of Catholics are not even aware of this. :-( Thanks for this video.
more than 90% sadly
My catechist teacher taught us “do not take it from anyone except the priest” I took that deeply! I get looks because I will change lines to be in the line where only the priest gives it.
We are.
@johanneshartman4618 your repetitions are falling on deaf ears. In all humility, would you ever consider that you might be wrong?
I belonged to a parish who had the most reverent pastor. When he held Jesus before me and said, “ The Body of Christ” , the way he looked at Jesus in the Eucharist and almost looked at me thru the Eucharist literally made me go weak in the knees. He trained his altar servers to serve with such profound reverence. So much was communicated from the altar just by the reverence of the priest and the servers. This beautiful priest actually had to leave our diocese bc there was no support for him and his holiness from our bishop and his brother priests. A heartbreaking and profound loss for us. We are blessed to have found another beautiful, reverent and holy pastor in the Anglican rite. God bless you, Gabe for having the courage to present this topic. May the hearts of priests be docile to the message.
Amen! May the Lord opens the eyes of priests around the world so as us lay people
That's is very sad... Praying for you
@@KenPaulsenArchitect I think she means the Anglican Ordinariate
@@KenPaulsenArchitect sorry, Ken. I should not have assumed that everyone knew that when I said Anglican rite, I didn’t mean Anglican Church. We belong to a parish that is fully under the magisterium of the church. It is a Fully Catholic parish that is a member of The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter which is its own diocese served by a Bishop that is a Roman Rite Bishop based in Texas. The Ordinariate was established by Pope Benedict XVI. It’s a personal Ordinariate in the Latin Rite. The liturgy is know as the Anglican Use of the Roman Rite but has some of the traditional Anglican elements. I liken our masses to a traditional Latin mass that is celebrated in English and not in Latin. It is extremely reverent. I learned what it truly means to OFFER WORSHIP to the Father by experiencing the celebration in this form. Thank you for commenting so that I could clarify my statement. I felt your sadness thinking that we had left our one, true Catholic Faith and I appreciate it!
God bless you sister 💚 🙏
You are SPOT ON!!! I stopped attending the Novus Ordo eight months ago once I found the Traditional Latin Mass. The amount of reverence that is displayed from the Priest and parishioners is night and day. Communion should be received kneeling on the tongue. I asked my 4 year old which Mass he thought made Jesus happier and he said the Latin Mass!!! The priest is the only one with consecrated hands. He is the only person who should touch our Lord. Thank you for making this video! If you are a Eucharistic Minister, you should really consider doing something else to help in the church.
When you are near God you can touch him.
In my country, Ecuador 🇪🇨. I’ve never seen something like this. Ever in my life. And I’m astonished. God bless you, keep talking about these things so you change many hearts.
@johanneshartman4618 Well, I believe he transubstantiated into bread and wine just like he said in the last supper. There is another passage In The Bible where he is really clear, he said this: “56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” John 6:56-60.
If this helps understand great! If you steal don't get what we believe. Well, just keep loving God. I truly hope you come home.
But love Jesus with your whole heart. He loves you 🙌🏻 and he will always guide you 🙏🏻♥️
God bless you 🤗🇪🇨
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes
You’re absolutely right, Gabe! Thank you for your demo and explanations. I am a young mother and refuse to be a an Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister. I AM NOT WORTHY TO HANDLE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! This is not a talent show folks. Our Lord DESERVES OUR UTMOST RESPECT and MUST be revered.
This young man has wisdom far beyond his years, and beyond many bishops and preists.
Love it
It's the result of poor training and poor formation. In the Old Rite the forefinger and thumb of the priest do not separate until the fraction rite and even there the care and respect remains. I only learned this (and much more ), after 30 yrs of being a priest. We were never taught anything about the the pre vatican II Mass. Now, as a retired priest in the U.K. I follow the rubrics as close as I can to the Old Rite - I only use the Canon (Euch1), and do as much as as I can in Latin including all the gestures proper to it without disrespecting the Usus antiquior. Between the stone cutters and the rainbows it's not an exaggeration to suggest that 80/90% of the current clergy in U.K. and Ireland belng to the latter category. If your priest never preaches on the difficult teachings contra sext - contra none then it's likely he belongs "the cabal" If he is climate friendly and leans to the left another sign for sure! Pray!
One of the larger churches in my city holds the consecrated hosts not at the altar but in a closet sized room down the hall near the bathrooms. People also frequently drop the host on the floor and step on it. It’s not a popular opinion but it seems quite common at the Novus Ordo churches here in my area (we tried many before we found our parish home). It makes my heart hurt to see the Pope pushing for the end of the Extraordinary Form for this reason, because I have never seen such irreverence at an EF Mass. I wish the reverence would be more focused on at NO Mass too. Thank you for speaking on this. Our Lord’s presence is one of our greatest gifts here in Earth!
Whitney B find a better church. Michael Voris from The Vortex said do not give your money to support these sacrilegious. Holy Priest's are far and few. Ask St. Joseph, Padre Pio, and St. Rita, ( Dynamic Trio) to help you find a Holy Church that shows reverence to our Lord.🙏✝️🙏♂️🙏. Also, could you please pray for me? I really need A LOT of prayer. Thank you. God bless you and yours.
@@sandratorday3196 I'll pray for you. 3 Ave Maria's coming your way ❤🙏
Wow!! What city is this?! 😳🥺 How does God even stand us in our irreverence??! This is heartbreaking to hear about it!
complain to your diocese with like minded parishioners. Compose a letter exhorting them to follow the teachings of the church, of which also demands reverence and nothing but consecrated hands.
@@Nicole-uq2ul Thank you. Believe me, this is much appreciated. God bless you and yours . Viva Cristo Rey 🙏✝️
We drive over an hour to attend the traditional Latin Mass. God Bless you for this video.
WOW! That is beautiful. The saints say that every effort you make to attend the Mass... every step is counted by your guardian angel and you will have a higher place in heaven. Keep it up. You are bringing countless graces to your family.
God bless you! My wife and I discovered a parish a half hour away 3 years ago that offers the traditional Latin Mass. It is so beautiful and reverent!! I have never been back to my old parish.
While most of the time I offer the Traditional Latin Mass, I am sometimes asked to assist with distributing communion or concelebrating the Ordinary Form if the bishop of our Diocese is visiting the parishes where I serve. In addition to your wonderful reminders, I would add one thing. I keep on the altar in the private oratory where I celebrate private daily Mass, and a few parishes still keep an ablution cup next to the tabernacle. It is a small glass or metal container that has water in it and is used to purify the fingers after touching the Most Sacred Body of our Lord in the Eucharist. At the end of the day, it can be consumed by the priest or if there are multiple people using it throughout the day, sprinkled over plants in the garden (I keep some flowers and roses in the garden to place before our Lady's image). When I make a hospital visit, I have a little metal cup and take a small bottle of water to purify my fingers and the Pyx once the last host is consumed. In this case, I purify my fingers before moving to the next patient room, and then put a bit more water in to purify the little cup. One could always ask for one of the little plastic medicine cups from the nurses too, just do not toss it in the trash at the end. Keep it and use it each time you go to sick or hospital visits. Just a warning. Practice purifying your fingers, as using the little cup, you don't want to splash water around, so it will take some practice to know how much water to use for yourself. Pray for me a sinner, and all deacons, priests, and bishops.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are an inspiration father. Be assured of my prayers for you and for those that you serve. May Our Lady be your constant companion. God bless you!
@@gabiafterhours If you don't know the story, look up why Archbishop Fulton J Sheen started making a daily Holy Hour. I do think about the reason each day and ask our dear Lord for the graces of His passion to be enkindled in the hearts of all, especially those He shares His priesthood with. The glories of the priesthood are that it is Christ's priesthood that He shares with me and other men, not anything we ourselves can bring to Him and His priesthood. It is only through conforming our lives to His that we can become good priests.
@@thomasfolio7931 so thankful for you and all Holy Priests.
Yes our home parish has this next to the tabernacle 🙏🏻 praise God for holy priests with attention to every one of the Blessed Particles 🤍
@johanneshartman4618what if you‘re wrong?
Only priests should distribute communion. On your knees and on your tounge at the communion rail. If you don't have a communion rail drop down to your knees. In our parish, nobody even gets the choice of receiving in their hands. This is why TLM is where it's at.
I love intinction too
Amen!
You are blest to have a TLM you can get to.
I do the TLM or Byzantine rite when I can
I’m sorry to be asking but what is TLM?
We need to pray to the Blessed Virgin to offer to her son, Our Lord, reparations on our behalf for the many suffrages committed against him fully present in the Holy Eucharist. Thank you for this ♥️
YES! That is why I had the image of the Sacred Heart in the background. Let us pray and sacrifice!
Praying to anyone other than God is anathema my guy..
Thank you for this video! It's a big deal, when a layman has to preach to priests. Respect, Gabi!! Sending blessings from Slovenia. Stay humble! 💪✌️
Humility. Humility. Humility. Thank you!
@@gabiafterhours it’s complete heresy that people think they can receive Consecrated host on the hand, but there hands aren’t consecrated. Another thing that needs to happen is moving the tabernacle in the middle, most churches in my diocese don’t have it in the middle.

Gabi thank you for your boldness and humility to bring out what our Church needs most right now! I have already asked our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph that this video would be seen widely by as many in Leadership that can make a great movement to greater reverence to our Lord in how we receive our Lord. As laypeople, if this moved your heart, I ask that you too storm Heaven with prayers to our Mother and St Joseph that this video go viral amongst the priesthood that we see a revival of belief and trust in the True Presence!
Paul! Wow. Your message is a true inspiration. Thank you for your prayers. YES. WE MUST push this information with all of our might and then pray HARD. God bless you my friend. Mary and Joseph be with you always!
That's exactly how they do it in Medjugorje. And, ONLY priests distribute communion. AND, it's on the tongue!
I had such powerful encounters with the Eucharistic Christ in Medjugorje. And, these encounters continue over 2 years later.
This is one of the many reasons I started going to the TLM. Thank you Gabriel for pointing this out God bless you ✝️🙏🏽👍🏼
You are lucky, me too I found a NO parrish were the priests are extremely reverent to our Lord's communion, only in the tongue, half kneeling or kneeling, etc.
The New Mass is the genesis of a multitude of errors and sacrilege’s in the Church.
Thank you for this bro Gabriel, I’m from Nigeria and i will say in my parish our priest do what you suggested, they already fill all the ciborium before bringing it to the alter
Thanks for sharing! You are truly blessed. Please consider sharing this for others to know!

Great video, but I fear that this is only one action that shows a lack of reverence. Lay eucharistic ministers, laity receiving in the hand, tabernacles being moved from front and center off to side areas, lack of sacred silence before and after Mass just to mention a few. Thank you for pointing this out. I love your videos.
Yes!! All these actions must be erased if the faithful are ever to truly understand that Our Lord, the King of kings is with us who are wholly unworthy to receive Him.
Exactly. I live in Belgium and there aren't many people in Masses so I have never seen this action, but the lack of reverence is absolutely dreadful in all the other actions and you just see the lack of faith. For example in the way of holding up the Host during consecration etc. So it's really not just about this particular action...
I’m not Catholic (yet?) but it is really helpful and good to have people making content where they unreservedly present and elaborate on the teaching of the Eucharist.

@@gabiafterhours Amen. God bless you too. Your videos are like booster shots for me too. We pray for our priests.
I was ordained in 1989, and I agree that being a veteran doesn't mean one can't be fraternally corrected. This is a very edifying video, and I want to thank you for your humility and zeal for the Eucharist. All priests need to hear this!
If only priest would understand that we faithful Catholics want to receive God on our tongue and kneeling without receiving him on the hand and standing
I don't care how long the mass will be an hour or two hours but I prefer receiving the Eucharist from the priest and no one else
Gabi thanks a million for this video and I hope that priests, deacons, and laymen stop doing sacrilege to God
I totally agree with you.
@johanneshartman4618 John 6:53 So Jesus said again, 'I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you
I Have been wondering how I can show/teach my sons what it is to be reverent at mass. Lately, I have been feeling restless at my current church- not understanding exactly why. After stumbling onto this video, it is exactly what I needed to hear- giving some clarity. Thank you for posting this! I prayer it reaches the hearts of many lay people and priests.
You just took the first step towards the TLM. The passion and righteous anger you spoke with is why those of us your age are flocking to the Tradional Latin Mass. God bless you
Is it just TLM?, because that sacredness and zeal I have found in NO in abbies, in small churches, in many places. After going to TLM and NO I personally did not feel more (or less) moved by the Lithurgy, when done reverently. So no, it is not on the Form of the Lithurgy. Latin can also be said hastily as it happened for centuries.
How do you know it's not the first step towards the Byzantine right?
Oh yes the TLM are the Righteous people and the NO are the ....... My gosh don't you people know what you sound like always cutting down your fellow Catholic and puffing yourselves up. IN truth there are just as many sinners at both Masses. Stop comparing. Its like the story Jesus told of the man who did not lift his head in the temple and the Pharisee who exclaims thank God I am not like that man!
I find it in every Mass. When I focus on the Eucharist prayers and absorb them I feel like I am being lifted up to heaven.
@@auxiliarylens3876 because of Canon 32-1. No one can validly transfer to another Church sui iuris without the consent of the Apostolic See. Once you are baptised in one Catholic rite, you cannot simply change it at will, you need permission from your ordinary to do so.
Actions speak louder than words! Indeed this is true, something I often say! Another very informative & inspirational video. Agree fully with everything! “Giving Jesus to your children is the best gift” I was so blessed on Friday, went to mass in Prague, so mass was in Czech- (done an online mass before so knew the readings) never understood a word BUT was so very blessed and emotional to receive the Eucharist dipped in the blood on the tongue! First tie since start of covid. Jesus and our blessed mother lead us there. We went because we saw it was adoration and we’re doubly blessed when we realised mass followed! 🙏 🙏 🙏

At my small parish at El Salvador, we don't have that problem. Only one recipient with hosts is put on the altar, and after the Consecration the priest goes to the Tabernacle and takes the Eucharist to distribute Him to the parishioners.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am discerning going into the deaconate and this video has inspired me to move ahead with greater fervor.
It is not about being a policeman looking for abuses, but entering into a deeper understanding of the Eucharist so as to become an example and model of Christ to others.
Do it!
One time I was serving Low Mass with about 700 people in attendance and we loaded all the ciborium (with covers) prior to Mass as usual. It never occurred to me since I am not used to seeing it that in many places the priests consecrate in one giant ciborium and shovel Christ around to the empty ones. Thank you for making this video!
REAL SOLUTION: Get rid of Eucharistic ministers; without them, no more "little bowls" needed.
There is absolutely NO reason for anyone other than the priest to distribute communion. If it takes 10 more minutes, so be it.
Agreed! But it is so integrated in the Masses now about an impossible change. For the while, anyway! God will prevail.
I’m a eucharistic minister but I truly believe that Jesus is the Holy Eucharist so I hold Him in the most reverent way and I make sure that the communicant put Him in his mouth but then I feel so sad seeing 90% of those whom I serve just take our Lord irreverently 😭😭😭😭😭😭
thank you so much for this video
They're rarely necessary, but still used unnecessarily
NAILED IT!!! sooo good. So many need to see this video.
"I'm sorry I'm getting upset" lol You are the best, Gabrielle! Thank you for spreading the TRUTH!
The only one who should handle the Sacred host is the priest as only his hands are concreted
Consecrated.
At a family Mass last year, the priest - a Vicar General for 30 years - asked me to help him distribute Communion. I'm also a lector.
@johanneshartman4618 have you read what the early Christian’s thought of the Eucharist? They all believed in real presence.
I’m speechless with gratitude for this video and love for you. You are in my prayers 🙏🏽
+AMEN+ 🙏🏻Thank you dear Gabriel🙏🏻
Yes, this is why we have changed our last parish just down the street to our new FSSPX Parish a twenty minute drive away. Worth every added kilometer in order to worship, adore and receive our most beautiful sweet Eucharistic Jesus the way He deserves. The longer drive gives us time to pray the Rosary on our way, which is also wonderful.
Oh the horrific irreverance has to stop, we pray for reform, we pray that our Holy Spirit bring about deep conversion, deep love and courage for our Eucharistic Lord and God in all hearts.

Dear Ken,
The Priests in the Parish we belong to are all having the intention to find full communion with the Church and pray for our Holy Father daily. They never speak negatively about our Holy Father the Pope. They are not schismatics or sedevacantists but speak strongly against this way of thinking. We are aware that some SSPX Priests and Parishes are on this wrong track and that these must be avoided at all cost. We continue to pray for Holy unity and reform.
Here is some good information:
“The canonical situation of the SSPX and of its clergy has been the subject of controversy since the 1988 Écône consecrations. While the society is not listed in Annuario Pontificio as a recognized society of apostolic life, it has nonetheless benefited from some significant allowances normally granted only to recognized orders and societies. A 1995 letter from the Pontifical Commission stated that there is "no doubt about the validity of the ordination of the priests of the Society of St. Pius X. They are, however, suspended a divinis."[42] In the November-December 2017 edition of the society's publication The Angelus, Fr. Francois Knittel, SSPX, wrote: "The Church authorities have gradually recognized the liceity and the validity of the ministry performed by the priests of the SSPX."[43]
Marriage Edit
On 27 March 2017, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith communicated that Pope Francis had decided to grant local ordinaries the right to give to a priest in good standing the faculty to preside at the marriage of followers of the society, immediately after which they will participate in a Mass celebrated by an SSPX priest, or, if no priest in good standing can receive the consent of the couple, to give the faculty instead to an SSPX priest. Previously, in 2008, the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei had stated: "The priests of the Society of St. Pius X are ... prohibited from exercising their priestly functions," going on to conclude that, in the case of matrimony, "these sacraments are invalid," since a suspended priest lacks the proper delegation from the bishop.[44]
Confession Edit
On 20 November 2016, Pope Francis personally and indefinitely extended an allowance he created during the Holy Year of 2015, whereby penitents confessing to priests affiliated with the SSPX "shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins."[45]
Ordination and Holy Orders Edit
During an interview with TV Libertes on 29 January 2017, Bishop Fellay announced that theological discussions with the Holy See had led to permission for the society to licitly ordain priests: "This summer it was confirmed that the Superior General can freely ordain the priests of the society without having to ask permission from the local bishop."[46]
Mass Edit
In 2020, Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy and dean of theology at the Regina Apostolorum university in Rome, reaffirmed the statement he made in 2011, before Pope Benedict granted certain faculties in favor of SSPX priests. After declaring that "the Masses celebrated by members of the Society of St. Pius X are valid but illicit, i.e., contrary to Canon Law", he said: "The mere fact of assisting at a Mass of this society is not a sin. It would only become so if a person attended this Mass with the deliberate intention of separating himself from communion with the Pope and those in communion with him. I would say, therefore, that a conscientious Catholic should not knowingly attend a Mass celebrated by a priest not in good standing with the Church." He added: "Only if there is objectively no alternative should one attend the Mass celebrated by a priest from the Society of St. Pius X. If one has to do so, then I would say that one may go in good conscience and receive Communion at such a Mass. It would also fulfill the Sunday obligation", and explained that "alternative" is not limited to "Mass in the extraordinary form": a Catholic who seeks this form but finds none available other than the SSPX celebration "should attend an ordinary form Mass or even any Eastern Catholic celebration so as to remain in full Catholic communion".[44][47]
Jurisdiction Edit
When told by a journalist of InfoVaticana, a provider of religious information founded in Madrid in October 2013,[48] that what Pope Francis had decided in March 2017 was instead that, "from now on, the weddings celebrated by the priests from the FSSPX are going to be recognized," Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who had not seen the actual document, remarked: "That is a very significant action of the Holy Father, and it also indicates that in some way there must be a reconciliation of the FSSPX because basically what the Pope is saying is that the priests in this society, when they witness marriages, are exercising jurisdiction in the Roman Catholic Church."[49] In reality, it is local ordinaries, not the society, that in the document are authorized, if they wish, to delegate jurisdiction to SSPX priests to assist canonically at some marriages.
The society's view is that, before Pope Francis's authorizations, their priests held "supplied" jurisdiction (power of governance) for confessions and marriages. They received this supplied jurisdiction by law and not "by delegation or by mandate of the Sovereign Pontiff or the diocesan bishops or of regularly appointed parish priests."[50][51][52]
Since the grants by Pope Francis, the society says that its priests have or can have ordinary jurisdiction for the sacraments of confession and marriage. It adds that, in cases where a diocesan bishop refuses to grant delegation for a marriage, SSPX priests can still use extraordinary jurisdiction.[53]”

Our Lady help of Christians Pray for us.
You are 100% correct... thank you for bringing this up. Everyone needs to understand we need this stopped
I am a religous sister and this was a beautiful eye opener for me. We need more reverence.
Thank you, Gabriel. Much needed teaching. God bless you!
Thank you so very much for this. I was converted 12 years ago in the UK and since had returned to my homeland, Singapore in the last couple of years. I so wanted to shout aloud to the Priests, we know how you feel by your every moves from this side of the altar. We know when you felt under pressure, in a hurry or acting in automation mode. Dare I say your every actions reflect how much reverence, love and believes when you held the precious Jesus in your consecrated hands. Take your time like a mother with a new borned babe. For those who attend Mass daily, they will wait patiently and for those who attend Mass on Sundays only then even more so spending a little extract time in God's house should not present an issue. Look at the depiction of picture/sculpture where Jesus held the lost sheep that he found how its was held securely over his shoulders, it speaks love.
Solution: get to a Traditional Latin Mass. We shouldn't be allowing unconsecrated fingers (lay ministers) touching our Lord either. The Traditional Latin Masses I go to, they get another priest to come up and distribute Holy Communion from seperate Ciboriums, which already contains The Consecrated Sacred Hosts. Also, as someone receiving Holy Communion, don't touch our Lord. Recieve Him only on the tongue and kneeling. *You are literally receiving God, the very God Whom angels tremble at the sight off, into you* Don't take it for granted. Even if you're going to a "reverent" N.O Mass, remember, in The Latin Mass you're surrounded by posture, music, paintings and architecture that are all aimed at drawing attention to The God Who becomes your food.
Exactly which is why there's an attack on the TLM this very moment
Ugh.. No! Just No! Hebrews 10 my guy.. Hebrews 10..
Well since this doesn’t happen in most parts of the world and therefore for the vast majority of the world’s Catholics, I would say no.
Thank you Gabe. People pls forward this to your parish priest.
Brother, do you have an email where I can contact you for a talk?
Joseph you can reach me at gabriel@sugarlandcatholic.com Please let me know that you get this so that I can delete my email.
Excellent video, thank you! As a convert, I was shocked to watch parishioners nonchalantly walk past extraordinary Eucharistic ministers holding ciborium with Christ inside.
May God bless folks like you who share the profound truth of the Eucharist!
God bless you Brother couldn’t agree with you more. This is the reason why I pray and hope my children ask why I’m on my knees when receiving the Holy Eucharist. My answer is simple, Reverence. Thanks for the video Brother in Christ. ✊🏽❤️🙏🏽
For centuries, only the priest was able to distribute the holy Eucharist. That is what we have to go back to...
Yes I agree! Here’s an idea to show reverence for the Lord:
Bring back kneeling to receive Holy Communion. Let only consecrated hands touch the Blessed Sacrament, meaning Priests or Deacons. Receive Communion on the tongue.That is reverence. Also genuflect when you enter a pew, this shows reverence for we know who is in the tabernacle.
Thank you for saying this! I once visited a different parish and a lay Eucharist minister was doing just what you did putting his hands all over consecrated hosts on the altar putting away leftover hosts after communion. There were so many hosts that the bowl he poured them into overflowed and several fell on the altar. He literally man handled the hosts in front of everyone. The priest was sitting on the side unaware of what was going on. My heart hurt and broke at the sight. I then got angry for the disrespect and disregard for Our Lord.
Love you and your passion Gabe! God give all Catholics this passion and reverence.🙏🙏
GABE THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS YOU GIVE ME HOPE, I CRY AT EVERY MASS BECAUSE OF THIS AND PEOPLE RECEIVING HIM IN THE HANDS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
We used to have a priest from the seminary come to celebrate mass with us in our parish. He spoke the words on consecration slowly and clearly and deliberately. When handling the host, he was so reverent you SAW he BELIEVED that he was holding Jesus in his hands. That, in turn, moved me and made me weep at the real presence. I pray more priests would have such reverence.
Jesus was a religious radical too. Only the world speaks of this as negative, but to God, that is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for being so passionate about this and presenting the Truth. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit so powerful as I watched your video. I truly believe you have done the Father’s will in making this video. I hope Priests will watch this and be moved to do things differently. God bless you!!
Dear Father. I was an extraordinary special minister for a few years before Covid. I was ask to become one and I never thought it was wrong at the time. How will God ever forgive me. I will not be one again.
Ask, he will forgive you. I didn’t know about a lot of thing about the church until I researched it myself. When I found the truth I asked for forgiveness and never did it again. The key is that you didn’t know.
Trust in God's infinite mercy and tell others who are in the same position...

Thank you, brother!! You are so right!!
Give your children Jesus! ❤
This is so important. Posture, movements and the bodily language used in mass is so important! I’ve been telling this to my family and parish for years and they all say “what matters is the intention of the heart”. Well sure, but if the intention of the heart is true…why is it not translated externally?
I live in a Muslim dominant country. I don’t agree with their theology, but the way they pray is so reverant. Every movement, even the position of their fingers, have a spiritual meaning. And that is why when a christian converts to Islam, they claim to have a deeper sense of spirituality while doing Salah compared to during Mass. Because the emphasis and significance of bodily language has been so lost in today’s worship, that the people subconsciously look for it in other religions. It’s heart breaking. What’s worse is that they don’t even realize its happening!
I truly hope our church will be renewed. Revive back old traditions. Remind back the rituals and mystical sense of the Mass. By God’s Will, the Church will fluorish once more.
The Traditional Latin Mass will take care of all of this.
This is why people like me cringe at many N.O. parishes.
Thank you for calling attention to this.
Thank you ❤ Actions speak louder than words 🎯 Ad orientem, the rail and kneeling and on the tongue are also essential to help the flock understand true presence.

It's so heartbroken watching the way priests handle Our Lord. Some of them use all the fingers to break the large host they consume then immediately use the same hand to move the microphone and missal, without a thought that they just broke the Eucharist.
The way they hand the smaller ciboriums to their 'servants' is also deplorable, with one hand extended sideways as if throwing something away.
I didnt know about this. Thank you for letting us know. I will share this youtube. God bless.👍😊🙏😇
Gabe..thank you for articulating what the lay people have been thinking. It hurts my heart and I'm sure many, when the priests act these ways. When a priest lead worship with reverence and there is no distractions, the Mass is so intense as worship is rightly directed to pleasing God!! ❤
It's like your sharing chips for a party. Thank you for informing people that Our Lord is Holy, Holy Holy. We can't even describe how Holy Our Lord is.

This is so true. It breaks my heart to hear that 69% of Catholics today don't believe in the real presence, and I believe that this is a big part of the problem. I've seen so much liturgical abuse in different parishes I've attended in the last few months and it's heartbreaking. Today I decided to attend a New parish that I heard was fairly traditional. They played a video during Mass about why you should donate. There was clapping during and after Mass. I attended a Christmas Eve Mass this where the priest said he was having a special guest. Santa Claus walked in during the Mass and started saying "ho, ho, ho". Everyone was clapping and I was disgusted. The parish near my house has denied me Communion on the tongue multiple times and I've heard the paster say God's name in vain in an irreverent way during Holy Mass. What's even worse are the schools. The uniform skirts for Catholic high schools in my area bring me to tears. The fact that they wear these skirts to Mass breaks my heart. Nobody has any respect or reverence for the Eucharist anymore. All we can do is hope and pray. Thank you for spreading this message which isn't talked about enough. God bless and Mary be with you:)
All the unbelief is due to the new mass.
This "church" with Santa Claus and the donation video would no longer be my Church. It sounds like your priest doesn't take anything very seriously. How did he even graduate from seminary? Shake the dust from your sandals and move on to the next place, until you find one that actually welcomes the Lord and listens to Him. Good luck. Too many congregations want to make Jesus all about what they want to believe, rather than what He says.
My advice? Stay away from secularized churches, and from the "holier than thou" churches too.
When I was in Medjugorje on a youth festival, they prepared lots of wooden stackable trays with saboriums with hosts before consecration. And after the concecration they gave tens of thousands of communions. Very proper and reverent.
Peace of Christ brother

This was very moving. We lack this passion for our faith in so many places worldwide. Pray for us here in south africa. We are battling with this very topic. We also will pray for you
Amen, actions speak louder than words
AMEN!
I worked at a parish as a faith formation coordinator a couple of years ago. I only lasted 5 months because I was misunderstood for my love and faith in Jesus. I decided it was best to leave, my heart couldn't handle the things I experienced. I went to confession to this priest for my sorrow and anger towards him. He apologized and I never went back there after that. This was so powerful, thank you!
it has been shown in many visions and by science that every particle is as the heart is whole
I am very happy my church does it exactly how you said to do it. Hallelujah praise be to God Thank You Fr Ray
Thank you for demonstrating such a simple way
