Pray the Holy Rosary.... as Padre Pio said "The Rosary is THE weapon for these times".... Father Amorth, Vatican exorcist said Satan told him during an exorcism, that every "Hail Mary" was like a hammer blow to his head...
@@orionxtc1119the Hail Mary is powerful, there’s no doubt. But be careful believing things exorcists report that the devil told them. Credible, reputable exorcists don’t do that. Amorth is not the Vatican exorcist technically, he’s an exorcist who happened to be stationed in Rome and has done a lot to capitalize on a title he wasn’t given in the way of fame. Releasing books and even a movie full of what the devil “told him.” Why would we listen to a word out of the mouth of the father of lies? There’s no special prayer that can make the devil tell the truth. That’s simply false. Asking the devil or demons for information is called clerical necromancy. It’s a grave sin. Very concerning that some of these priests are becoming celebrities. The best exorcists aren’t celebrities because they know better. I know exorcists personally. I’m sure he says some good things, but please get off the celebrity train.
Thank you so much for this father. I am struggling to believe anything beautiful or good about me because of the brokenness in my marriage. Thank you for this reminder ❤
I heard the Lord Jesus audibly next to me at a prayer group saying He wanted me to praise His name out loud, I said Lord I'm afraid of looking stupid and He said, I looked stupid for you in Jerusalem, that was 30 years ago, I came back to the Catholic faith after that and go daily to Mass and pray the rosary daily and praise His name out loud daily, praise be to God.
Thank you, Padre. I never got this as a Catholic growing up. I did get this when listening to Bible Protestants. It was good for a while, but the errors they held corrupted the message and wounded my trust. Thank you for being a Franciscan and preaching like this....real preaching, informed preaching, but not academic deadness. God be praised! Bless you, Father!
It is important not get over-tired. When we are tired the devil senses food, and we fall into feeding him instead of resting in the Lord. This is something that occured to me today, and now I need to go to bed and get my sleep and send the devil packing!
In the book of Job, there is no answer to the suffering, but the answer God gives is Himself. God only allows suffering because He knows it is for our good. There are somethings that can only be revealed by pain and suffering, and God allows it because He wants to share with us His heart, and to show us our own hearts, our own identities. Let peace be with you, for God is always faithful, and is allowing this out of His perfect love. :)
Using my wife’s account to write this. I love you brother, so many brothers and sisters that I haven’t met yet. My fathers family is a beautiful thing. United by our saviour. Mate I needed this message 🙏
When I was a kid (around 10 or 11) I read the whole book of revelation and what stuck with me at the time was , Revelation 2:17: "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it". I'm not sure why, but at the time, that verse impacted me and has stayed with me ever since.
Yes, there is no more important love that we can have is the love of God and Jesus. I am a Child of God and Chosen by Jesus and our Lord. I know God and Jesus love me and I love them more than anybody. I thank them daily for their blessings and for healing me of a 25-year-long, painful chronic illness! I now immerse myself in prayer and trying to do good deeds for the needy!
I like to call it a hoagie of joy. Seriously, though, I was fortunate enough to feel that from my parents, too. Considering what family life can be like today, I am infinitely blessed and grateful for the foundation they provided, the faith they gave me. I lose my way sometimes, but that foundation always guides me back.
🌹Holy Water is a must. I always bless my house and car everytime I leave the house, and pray my Divine Mercy prayer with my hand on the picture which is framed, by my door. And I pray the Saint Michael prayer, abd the Traveker's prayer!🙏🙏
Playing this video over and over has been healing for me and provided solid steps in deepening my faith. It has been especially soothing on those days when the dark hug of depression arises, and I begin to believe lies. Thank you, Father.🙏
How fantastic Father that you are using your talents to reach out to all of us in the various ways that we can be reached. You are truly gifted, loving and real. Thank you!
I needed this lots. The last year I've been getting heavy back into the church and praying daily and reading the Bible. This last few weeks the devil has been gnawing at my ear, telling me I am unworthy of Christ's love, that I am evil, never going to get into heaven. He keeps telling me MY sins are unforgivable, so why bother trying to be holy. I'm doing my best to keep my eyes in Christ, I want to walk on the water but quite often I feel like Peter drowning. Or worse I feel like Judas, the betrayer.
I feel the same way often. A priest told me in confession: The advesary doesn't want you to be happy in God's love. If you are on a good way, he needs to attack. - What helps me is the Fatima Prayer, roughly translated "Oh, my Lord Jesus, forgive us our sind, save us from hellfire, guide all souls to heaven, especially those you need your charity the most. - on my worst day I remember that he wants to save everyone... even me. And I don't need to be worthy. I am loved.

This is one of the coolest little messages I’ve ever heard. Someone just introduced me to your channel today. I had just finished brushing my teeth when you said you get revelations while brushing your teeth. Can you say God moment?
Powerful message Fr. It really happened to me yesterday in a quarrel with a person I love, she told me every sin I committed all my failures and weaknesses and what others thought about me from over many years span, my answer was at least I have one person who loves me with all my sins, like the criminal on the right side of the cross with Christ I will be forgiven and and be with him in paradize that hope keeps me going and live. I really felt what you trying to say, our true identity should not be stolen even by the people we love most, thank you !
You wake me up to love every time I listen to you. You have a very special way to transmit God's love. Unlike, anyone else. God bless you, and thank you!
This is one thing that I’ve been incorporating in my walk with God. Just being silent sometimes whenever I get a chance and letting His presence sink in and meditate on His word. I’ve been looking so deep into different doctrine and denominations and it’s been Gods funny way of getting me to lean into Him and ask Him about these things. There is no greater joy than falling in love with God. Nothing compares. No better high
"There is no greater joy than falling in love with God. Nothing compares. No better high" AMEN !!! Everything else is as a candle flame to the Sun, Every-Thing. We are made by Him to know and love Him. What else is there to do in this crazy world but to know Him, Love Him and serve Him and His Plan for the greatest JOY for all His children?
When I feel little and I catch this little feeling I say to myself Iam a son of God, God himself is incomplete without me. Has never failed me it straightens my spine every single time.
I'm not boasting, but shortly after sharing scriptures on acceptable man woman relationship, i was eating by myself, and suddenly I felt an invisible hug all around me! Wow!!! I hope to know or "see" the divine being who gave me that hug....someday❤
Father I'm so glad you joined TH-cam and started this channel. This is a place where I rerun to most of the time and I love learning from you. I also have a channel and I was thinking of making a video of all the Catholic priests I love on YT so that more people would get to know them (if they already aren't following them) and I would definitely mention you because I think more people should listen to the thoughts you share. God bless you for your work!
This presentation has made me feel so good. You are so funny Fr.and what you're discussing is so true. Your message is simple and quite powerful! Thank you. Peace, Joy and Love in the Most Holy Light of Christ Jesus.
You are truly on point. May your enthusiasm and great love for God rub off on all the people watching all your videos. Thank you for these Loving, Godly, Truthful, and Biblical messages. They truly help revive and restore our souls back to God. Kindly help pray for my husband John to listen & to be on fire for God as well. God bless you, my brother in Christ.
The Jesus Prayer helps to keep one in the Presence of God. Takes some work, in the beginning, however, this simple Prayer along with others ( Jesus, have mercy... My Lord and my God....Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you)thank you Fr. Columba for sharing your Love of God 🙏🙏🙏
Captivated by your enlightening lesson on meditation, true nourishment for our souls! Your vulnerability in sharing your struggles with life, Fr Columba, only deepens our connection. Your presence in Christ is a cherished gift to us, and our heartfelt prayers embrace you. ❤️🙌
You rock Fr Columba...or maybe you are like a rock....solid and dependable...love all your musings and will keep sharing....your shorts are great too...that sounds weird...God Bless your living ministry...keep on rocking it Padre...these kids will get it all part of God's plan!
Thank you for your wonderful and holy guidance. I run to God like a child when the fear and anxiety hit. The rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet are my source of strength. In joy, I go to God but also in my darkest times. And sometimes I have found myself writing my own psalms , crying out to. God. And St Ignatius Loyola spiritual exercises are a true gift to all.
Confession: the more I try to seek Him, THE WORSE I FEEL INSIDE. To the point where I just want to give up and make it all go away. I have nothing to give Him, and can receive nothing because of what I am. I just want it all to be over. To be judged and discarded as is the fate of the majority of the world. What could possibly make me think of escape the majority? Only pride. It’s all for nothing for most of us. That’s the truth written about in the Bible. That’s the truth that Christ spoke.
Sir, please go to a Catholic church in your area and ask the receptionist to speak to the priest. Say that you need spiritual counselling; that you may be experiencing spiritual warfare and that you need help sorting through your thoughts. Talk to the priest about how you're feeling. To answer some of your points: None of us have anything to give Him but our will, and you by definition still possess your will. The idea that you can receive nothing because of what you are - this is a lie of Satan. Jesus revealed Himself as merciful, especially to St. Faustina. Please look up her writings and teachings. God wants us to know that He is first a merciful God, though He is also a just God. No one escapes judgement, but you aren't being prideful when you hope for more than condemnation. God promises us forgiveness of our sins when we repent and accept Christ's love. Hoping in this is the fundamental Christian ethic and it is incorrect to label it as pride. Pride has nothing to do with it because we did nothing to deserve it. Christ did it all.
Romans: 12.2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Hi, Fr. Columba! Thank you so much for this message. May God Bless you richly. I have been doing the LOH every day along with my rosary too, I have noticed with every prayer I am given enough measure of grace until the next one, I am sustained. The longest stretch from the midafternoon to evening prayer is when I start to run low and desire more prayer so I may say extra ones to help me. While I was just praying, I realized many people don't pray because of a feeling like not being motivated or distracted, it is at those moments we need to pray the most because the devil is trying to prevent us from doing it.
I have been struggling so bad this past week with such insecurities. I'm feeling so less than, undeserving, and just so insecure. I really needed to be reminded of this. ❤Thank you for making this video 🙏
Thank you, father. This really touches my heart. To know I can speak so vulnerably to God is just what i need. I feel that God has spoken to me recently. I have been writing my prayers in a journal and i found my answer. Father Columba, you make so much difference when speaing Gods word. Because of you, people like me are hearing Gods message. Thank you and God Bless. 🙏
@@brianruane8505 Brother, I appreciate how upset you are. I've also pondered such things as well. This is only my thought on the matter, so don't take it as gospel. We suffer through life because of the gift of free will, but also through the consequences of original sin. We at times don't see the consequences of our actions, oftentimes not thinking it will impact another person's life immediately, but it does subsequently. Whether by yelling at someone, or not helping when they're in distress. These little things escalate to bigger things. It's because we don't contemplate our actions, our "sinful" nature, and at times are flippant about it (I am very guilty of it); that we take the Lord's message for granted, which ultimately leads to larger consequences, such as the Holocaust and other significant tragedies within our control. I would even argue now, in the US, we are divided, when we need not be. We are bombarded with political discussions EVERYWHERE, and all it does is divide us even more, when we are, for the most part, good people who oftentimes do bad things, but when it builds up, we forget the goodness that is inherent in us, and is not what the Lord has in mind for us, thus the tragedy of Adam and Eve, and the redemptive power of Christ. It's because of this bombardment of "news," of an us versus them narrative, which I firmly believe will lead good people, like you and I, to eventually "buy" into it, and lead us to travesty, like the Holocaust. Even in that tragedy, God was present. Look up Father Maximilian Kolbe. It is the story of our fall, even today, and how the Lord has throughout the ages, has called us over and over again to change our ways, and come home to Him. It ultimately leads to a simple question: Are we doing the things that the Lord has taught us, or are we doing things that we think are true, that are part of conventional wisdom? Sorry brother, for being long winded. Your point deserves an explanation, and you are most definitely not the first to share that sentiment. I hope it may offer insight. My original thanks for this video is due to the difficulties of following the Lord, and how the strong temptation to give up on the faith is always present, but, if you take the time to listen, the Lord does answer your prayers. For me, it hasn't been direct, like a conversation you and I are having, but indirectly, whether it be by just randomly deciding to watch this video or others, and the content resonates and answers my thoughts/prayers. God bless.
@@brianruane8505 God allows evils to happen, even though I totally get it’s emotionally hard to understand, because he gave us free wills. God didn’t cause the Holocaust, humans did. God suffered through the Holocaust too, he wasn’t indifferent. He suffered. And for those people who suffer he always brings about some greater good from it, even though we might not immediately see or understand it.
I just saw your video the other day about Muslims who were coming to Christ because they were seeing him in their dreams, and I just wanted to share something that it made me remember. There's a book by the late Nabeel Qureshi called, "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus" and part of what eventually tipped him over the edge into becoming a Christian was a series of dreams and visions. Now this wasn't the only thing, he spent multiple years debating and doing heavy research on his faith, these were just something that I think is especially interesting regarding this topic. In his first vision, he saw a field of crosses, but dismissed it because it seemed almost too obvious, and that it might be a trick of the mind, that he secretly wanted to be a Christian, and that it was a bit of wish fulfillment. Then he had one that was very symbolic that he used a book on dream interpretation from a Muslim author, and wound up interpreting as his friend leading him to Christianity which was truth. The second dream, which I saw him share the most in talks, was a dream where there was a narrow door in to a wedding feast and his Christian friend was there, blocking the way to the feast, letting him know that he couldn't enter until he accepted the invitation. After waking up, he called his friend and the friend told him to read Luke 13, which Nabeel hadn't read before. The final one was him sitting in a building above an Imam on a stairwell leading him out of the mosque. One of the things Nabeel talked about was how a lot of Muslims believe that the way God speaks to us is through dreams, and that several seemingly prophetic dreams had happened in his life. For example, his mother had a dream that she planted four seeds, two sprouted, and two didn't. Someone told the mom that it meant that she'd have four pregnancies, two that would be born healthy, and two would be miscarriages. Its an interesting idea, though obviously we won't know why in this life, but if Christ chose to personally come to convert Muslims in that matter, it would make a kind of sense.
I thought of the same testimony though I only know of the Luke 13 one. It’s an amazing testimony which I encourage everyone to check if they are interested. Also, please pray for Nabeel. RIP 🙏🏽 ✝️
@@ABB14-11 In the book he goes through the other ones, but in the live talks its usually just the Luke 13 one. Last I checked, the audiobook is up on TH-cam.
It is amazing how these things work out. Without going into detail, I was looking for this knowledge and the behest of my confessor and the next day this video pops up with the exact message I was looking for. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much Fr Columba and team 🙏🏽 I want to grow deeper and deeper in my prayer life. Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed by life and my wants and needs. At other times, I’m so grateful because life is so good and I consider myself so blessed in many ways. I just tend to forget that God is actually rooting for us, I have to uproot the thought in my mind that He is indifferent or is just constantly disappointed. It’s a strange dichotomy that we are called to fear and reverence the Lord at tue same time we grow in love and intimacy with Him.
Many blessings to you and your $support team. I've just now discovered your channel, you're very helpful and spot on with human reality and the struggle toward transformative faith ... day by day... YES! Awesome! scripture affirmations are the WAY to Jesus who is The WORD. We love you Lord Jesus!!!
I only discovered you about a week ago Father and I can’t get enough of your talks . They are amazing and I feel blessed to have found them. I’m going to listen to this one again because it’s just what I need to hear - God loves me ❤❤❤
I've only watched 2 of your videos, but have to say they are real eye openers! thanks! I've been reading lots about the history of christianity but not the actual stuff :D the substance of it. the love and God and the meanings of everything
Thank you dear Fr. Columba. All in the notes love you and appreciate you. You give us peace of mind with your words of truth. Jesus Christ. See you on earth or Heaven with Jesus & The Heavenly Court. Amen !!! ✨️🙏✨️
Yes Father, We often forget that the Church is a family and that family love reflects The Father’s love. The love that flows so freely in a family, such as you described in your talk reflecting on you and your siblings in your parents bed, is what God The Father revels in. He does so because it comes from Him. May God continue to bless and feed you in your wonderful vocation.:
do good things. help people, cure your soul(listen to music of angels), ignore the darkness(thanks to get sleep well, therefore sun rises), clean your sin(if you have), get outside and see the eyes of good people(give them a smile if they look at you), you'll be in holy light, don't be afraid the devil GOD is always with you to protect you. you got holy hands. use it.
I’m so very grateful that I live in a time and place that Fr. Columba’s messages are instantaneous and available for perpetual viewing! What a blessing to help us in our journey…🙏 Random off topic question: has anyone seen Jerry the Cat recently?
Know you are on the Right Road to Christ ... YOU ARE VICTORIOUS, Y OU HAVE CHRIST'S LOVE IN YOU : ALLOW CHRIST TO LOVE YOU... LET CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART ... DON'T BLOCK HIM... WITH TOO MUCH THINKING... DON'T THINK.... G O D WILL THINK FOR YOU... ALLOW TH E SILENCE IN... THAT IS CHRIST, HE COMES AS THE SILENCE... THE SILENCE IS THE * PRESENCE * OF CHRIST...

I also have a channel and I was thinking of making a video of all the Catholic priests I love on YT so that more people would get to know them (if they already aren't following them) and I would definitely mention you because I think more people should listen to the thoughts you share. God bless you for your work!
Thanks. We love having Fr Columba as a presenter!
Dear Father, you are speaking to me personally. What a Blessing. Thank you.
Yes, it's trying to discourage us. It takes strength, a battle, a constant spiritual warfare. Thank you for your words, they come from your heart.
This presentation has made me feel so good. You are so funny Fr.and what you're discussing is so true. Your message is simple and quite powerful! Thank you. Peace, Joy and Love in the Most Holy Light of Christ Jesus.
Bless you
You are truly on point. May your enthusiasm and great love for God rub off on all the people watching all your videos. Thank you for these Loving, Godly, Truthful, and Biblical messages. They truly help revive and restore our souls back to God. Kindly help pray for my husband John to listen & to be on fire for God as well. God bless you, my brother in Christ.
The Jesus Prayer helps to keep one in the Presence of God.
Takes some work, in the beginning, however, this simple Prayer along with others ( Jesus, have mercy... My Lord and my God....Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you)thank you Fr. Columba for sharing your Love of God 🙏🙏🙏
Captivated by your enlightening lesson on meditation, true nourishment for our souls! Your vulnerability in sharing your struggles with life, Fr Columba, only deepens our connection. Your presence in Christ is a cherished gift to us, and our heartfelt prayers embrace you. ❤️🙌
Thank you! God bless you.
You rock Fr Columba...or maybe you are like a rock....solid and dependable...love all your musings and will keep sharing....your shorts are great too...that sounds weird...God Bless your living ministry...keep on rocking it Padre...these kids will get it all part of God's plan!
Amazing. Simple truth powerfully delivered. Love and truth. Amen. Fiat
Thank you for your wonderful and holy guidance. I run to God like a child when the fear and anxiety hit. The rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet are my source of strength. In joy, I go to God but also in my darkest times. And sometimes I have found myself writing my own psalms , crying out to. God. And St Ignatius Loyola spiritual exercises are a true gift to all.
"Come back to the truth"
Oftentimes, I call myself a loser
"Kick out the lies, let in the good"
Praise Jesus for loving me
Thank you Father, I look forward to listening to you.
You are very welcome
Confession: the more I try to seek Him, THE WORSE I FEEL INSIDE. To the point where I just want to give up and make it all go away. I have nothing to give Him, and can receive nothing because of what I am. I just want it all to be over. To be judged and discarded as is the fate of the majority of the world. What could possibly make me think of escape the majority? Only pride. It’s all for nothing for most of us. That’s the truth written about in the Bible. That’s the truth that Christ spoke.
Sir, please go to a Catholic church in your area and ask the receptionist to speak to the priest. Say that you need spiritual counselling; that you may be experiencing spiritual warfare and that you need help sorting through your thoughts. Talk to the priest about how you're feeling. To answer some of your points: None of us have anything to give Him but our will, and you by definition still possess your will. The idea that you can receive nothing because of what you are - this is a lie of Satan. Jesus revealed Himself as merciful, especially to St. Faustina. Please look up her writings and teachings. God wants us to know that He is first a merciful God, though He is also a just God. No one escapes judgement, but you aren't being prideful when you hope for more than condemnation. God promises us forgiveness of our sins when we repent and accept Christ's love. Hoping in this is the fundamental Christian ethic and it is incorrect to label it as pride. Pride has nothing to do with it because we did nothing to deserve it. Christ did it all.
Oh Father, you’re wonderful! I’m not a Catholic but I believe in, trust in, and love the Lord Jesus Christ! It really is the prudent thing to do. 😂
Our Lady protect and guide us to your son, Jesus.
Amen
Romans: 12.2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Hi, Fr. Columba! Thank you so much for this message. May God Bless you richly.
I have been doing the LOH every day along with my rosary too, I have noticed with every prayer I am given enough measure of grace until the next one, I am sustained. The longest stretch from the midafternoon to evening prayer is when I start to run low and desire more prayer so I may say extra ones to help me. While I was just praying, I realized many people don't pray because of a feeling like not being motivated or distracted, it is at those moments we need to pray the most because the devil is trying to prevent us from doing it.
Beautiful message Father ❤ thank you, we need to be reminded sometimes
Yes we do.
I need to be reminded every day❤
Ooohh Father Columba.. I wish you knew just how many times God has used you to directly and personally speak to me what He knew I needed.
Praise God!
I want true identity! I’m my boy’s mother. Thank you Jesus and thank you Fr. Columba
I love watching your videos. They help me get closer to God. Thank you.
You are so welcome
Kids especially teenagers do need to hear this - before they are hurt too badly..
I have been struggling so bad this past week with such insecurities. I'm feeling so less than, undeserving, and just so insecure. I really needed to be reminded of this. ❤Thank you for making this video 🙏
You got this!
Thank you so much Father!!
Wow Father! Your plant has grown a lot 😍
You’re welcome.
Thank you, father. This really touches my heart. To know I can speak so vulnerably to God is just what i need. I feel that God has spoken to me recently. I have been writing my prayers in a journal and i found my answer. Father Columba, you make so much difference when speaing Gods word. Because of you, people like me are hearing Gods message. Thank you and God Bless. 🙏
Praise in song, your own words of course, sends the devil away very quick! Realigning your mind and spirit to where it ought be, resting in Him!
Amen!! We have to guard our hearts, not be fooled that God doesn't love us!! Amen!!
Thank you for pointing out that there is a way that 'works' for learning God's love for us...now we just have to do it.
The Lord seems to know when to step in and help when you need it the most! Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
He wasn't very helpful during the Holocaust was he????? or in various other awful events.....😡😡
@@brianruane8505 Brother, I appreciate how upset you are. I've also pondered such things as well. This is only my thought on the matter, so don't take it as gospel.
We suffer through life because of the gift of free will, but also through the consequences of original sin. We at times don't see the consequences of our actions, oftentimes not thinking it will impact another person's life immediately, but it does subsequently. Whether by yelling at someone, or not helping when they're in distress. These little things escalate to bigger things.
It's because we don't contemplate our actions, our "sinful" nature, and at times are flippant about it (I am very guilty of it); that we take the Lord's message for granted, which ultimately leads to larger consequences, such as the Holocaust and other significant tragedies within our control.
I would even argue now, in the US, we are divided, when we need not be. We are bombarded with political discussions EVERYWHERE, and all it does is divide us even more, when we are, for the most part, good people who oftentimes do bad things, but when it builds up, we forget the goodness that is inherent in us, and is not what the Lord has in mind for us, thus the tragedy of Adam and Eve, and the redemptive power of Christ. It's because of this bombardment of "news," of an us versus them narrative, which I firmly believe will lead good people, like you and I, to eventually "buy" into it, and lead us to travesty, like the Holocaust. Even in that tragedy, God was present. Look up Father Maximilian Kolbe.
It is the story of our fall, even today, and how the Lord has throughout the ages, has called us over and over again to change our ways, and come home to Him.
It ultimately leads to a simple question: Are we doing the things that the Lord has taught us, or are we doing things that we think are true, that are part of conventional wisdom?
Sorry brother, for being long winded. Your point deserves an explanation, and you are most definitely not the first to share that sentiment. I hope it may offer insight. My original thanks for this video is due to the difficulties of following the Lord, and how the strong temptation to give up on the faith is always present, but, if you take the time to listen, the Lord does answer your prayers. For me, it hasn't been direct, like a conversation you and I are having, but indirectly, whether it be by just randomly deciding to watch this video or others, and the content resonates and answers my thoughts/prayers.
God bless.
@@brianruane8505 God allows evils to happen, even though I totally get it’s emotionally hard to understand, because he gave us free wills. God didn’t cause the Holocaust, humans did. God suffered through the Holocaust too, he wasn’t indifferent. He suffered. And for those people who suffer he always brings about some greater good from it, even though we might not immediately see or understand it.
Glorious 🙌 Amen! Yes 🤗 He truly loves us!! It’s amazing!
God bless you and all of us in the name of Jesus.
I just saw your video the other day about Muslims who were coming to Christ because they were seeing him in their dreams, and I just wanted to share something that it made me remember.
There's a book by the late Nabeel Qureshi called, "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus" and part of what eventually tipped him over the edge into becoming a Christian was a series of dreams and visions. Now this wasn't the only thing, he spent multiple years debating and doing heavy research on his faith, these were just something that I think is especially interesting regarding this topic.
In his first vision, he saw a field of crosses, but dismissed it because it seemed almost too obvious, and that it might be a trick of the mind, that he secretly wanted to be a Christian, and that it was a bit of wish fulfillment. Then he had one that was very symbolic that he used a book on dream interpretation from a Muslim author, and wound up interpreting as his friend leading him to Christianity which was truth. The second dream, which I saw him share the most in talks, was a dream where there was a narrow door in to a wedding feast and his Christian friend was there, blocking the way to the feast, letting him know that he couldn't enter until he accepted the invitation. After waking up, he called his friend and the friend told him to read Luke 13, which Nabeel hadn't read before. The final one was him sitting in a building above an Imam on a stairwell leading him out of the mosque.
One of the things Nabeel talked about was how a lot of Muslims believe that the way God speaks to us is through dreams, and that several seemingly prophetic dreams had happened in his life. For example, his mother had a dream that she planted four seeds, two sprouted, and two didn't. Someone told the mom that it meant that she'd have four pregnancies, two that would be born healthy, and two would be miscarriages. Its an interesting idea, though obviously we won't know why in this life, but if Christ chose to personally come to convert Muslims in that matter, it would make a kind of sense.
I thought of the same testimony though I only know of the Luke 13 one. It’s an amazing testimony which I encourage everyone to check if they are interested. Also, please pray for Nabeel. RIP 🙏🏽 ✝️
@@ABB14-11 In the book he goes through the other ones, but in the live talks its usually just the Luke 13 one. Last I checked, the audiobook is up on TH-cam.
Thank you Heavenly Father for Jesus and Fr. Columba. ❤️🙏
🙏🏼
It is amazing how these things work out. Without going into detail, I was looking for this knowledge and the behest of my confessor and the next day this video pops up with the exact message I was looking for. Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great video, I felt led by God to watch this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Fr Columba and team 🙏🏽 I want to grow deeper and deeper in my prayer life. Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed by life and my wants and needs. At other times, I’m so grateful because life is so good and I consider myself so blessed in many ways. I just tend to forget that God is actually rooting for us, I have to uproot the thought in my mind that He is indifferent or is just constantly disappointed. It’s a strange dichotomy that we are called to fear and reverence the Lord at tue same time we grow in love and intimacy with Him.
Many blessings to you and your $support team. I've just now discovered your channel, you're very helpful and spot on with human reality and the struggle toward transformative faith ... day by day...
YES! Awesome!
scripture affirmations are the WAY to Jesus who is The WORD. We love you Lord Jesus!!!
Thank you father. Gerry has been taking his vitamins!
Haha
I only discovered you about a week ago Father and I can’t get enough of your talks . They are amazing and I feel blessed to have found them. I’m going to listen to this one again because it’s just what I need to hear - God loves me ❤❤❤
Great! Lots more to come.
I've only watched 2 of your videos, but have to say they are real eye openers! thanks! I've been reading lots about the history of christianity but not the actual stuff :D the substance of it. the love and God and the meanings of everything
Lots more to catch up on and more coming every week.
This just cam at the right time I was feeling down and going back to my old ways thank God
So glad to hear that.
God has spoken directly to me. This was a message from Him.
Fr Columba..this has been so beautiful thank you❤
Thank you dear Fr. Columba. All in the notes love you and appreciate you. You give us peace of mind with your words of truth. Jesus Christ. See you on earth or Heaven with Jesus & The Heavenly Court. Amen !!! ✨️🙏✨️

So true!
Yep fed up of the struggle. So much effort and too little return even though I'm practicing RC
Here’s how to always get what you pray for: th-cam.com/video/rX_QJpN3NiY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0nO8qUvZTkGSA5Zz
LOVE this video 🤗❤🙏
Thank you! 🤗
this channel, through God gives life, continue the good work brother.
Thank you! Plenty more to come.
Yes Father,
We often forget that the Church is a family and that family love reflects The Father’s love.
The love that flows so freely in a family, such as you described in your talk reflecting on you and your siblings in your parents bed, is what God The Father revels in. He does so because it comes from Him.
May God continue to bless and feed you in your wonderful vocation.:
Thank you Father (speaking of “thanks”). Really enjoyed your video(s) with Father Mark-Mary and wow… look at Gerry!
Thank you. Unfortunately that’s not Gerry.
do good things.
help people, cure your soul(listen to music of angels), ignore the darkness(thanks to get sleep well, therefore sun rises), clean your sin(if you have), get outside and see the eyes of good people(give them a smile if they look at you), you'll be in holy light, don't be afraid the devil GOD is always with you to protect you. you got holy hands. use it.
...kick out the lies, let in the good --- TYSM Father
I’m so very grateful that I live in a time and place that Fr. Columba’s messages are instantaneous and available for perpetual viewing! What a blessing to help us in our journey…🙏
