- On this channel, I try to show the real life of a friar. That said, there are many things I can't show.

Am I Catholic? No
Am I religious? Not really
Am I obsessed with this channel? Yes. Yes I am.
Who knows? Watch enough of this channel and we might just change the first two answers!
@@BreakingInTheHabit ive had a rough relationship with God honestly. I was Baptist. Now I just believe in being a good person and doing the best you can. You should do a q&a soon
@Breaking In The Habit , I am Jewish, but enjoy and respect your work. James in Raleigh, NC
@@ashleyphillips7270 I and many others pray for your continued conversion, Ashley. God is love. Let him love you
Same.
I’d honestly find a video on preparing a homily very interesting
I appreciate how even though you're lowkey trying to convince us, you still accept and help all walks of life
This is a wonderful video, Brother. Thank you very much. God bless you, always. :D
"Below the surface, when the camera is off, that's when our life truly shines" - Thank you, Brother Casey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks God...
That there's much more to it than this channel.
Your (Casey and fraternity) life is yours and is a life of prayer and with foundation in God, not public, not worldly.
You show a lot of what FF do when they go out to the world, and that is great!
Relax and enjoy !
Your the evangelist the rcc never had. Ur videos are amazing . Was on the verge of leaving rcc , then I found ur channel. Uve given me fresh hope. There r so many catholics who have a very poor catechism and these videos r so valuable.
You don't have to show everything......we Al know there are private moments. We all know there are moments in your life that can't be explained. But what you do.....as in this video........is telling us about it.
Greetings and lots of love from the Netherlands.
Rick
Good bless you xx

Brother Casey, not exactly related to the topic of the video exactly but how did you stage that mirror shot? It looked cool.
Now on to the topic of the video, I know it's not all what you show us because I've written you. Your response was amazing and humble and one of the most spiritual conversations I've had since my faith started wavering. That's why I keep watching, even as a non-Catholic, because there's something deep and different about how you live your life. I can just feel it. You have a connection to God I envy. Thank you for what you do show us and for doing all those things you can't show us.
He staged the mirror shot by placing a camera on the side and then going on the other side.
When I read coments like this they remind to be thankful to God for the gift of faith and also that I have to take care of it! Thank you, I´ll pray for you and remember you can always ask God for faith, it´s a gift He is always willing to give
@@florenciaescobar191 😉
Those things you can’t show are the things that really draw me to religious life. It’s beautiful.
I love watching your videos Fr God Bless you.
You are very real and eloquent! I wish someday I will witness your homily and sermon during a mass.
Thank you for this.
You are an amazing person Fr. Casey, thank you for explaining the catholic teachings and the life's of friar's..Thank you!!!.. A proud catholic..God bless the church...Amen🙏🏻
beautiful! Just found this channel & subscribed. God bless you!!
I'VE just started watching your shows but got a good sence of all you can't show. I guess I was just reading between the lines. My prayers for you and yours.
Brother Casey, I agree with privacy within community; yet there are many videos on TH-cam presenting a communal prayer service. I believe it would be a valuable snippet of your life similar to a vocational promo, which gives a complete representation of your life as a brother. Privacy grant it; I get it and I’m sure you can present that, I also know the value of community vote or opinions. I enjoy your videos and life, and hope you can continue to reveal the the value of Religious Life in our world. 😀
Thank you for your videos. I find them interesting as it is a perspective I might never have. I was wondering why we never see you praying or doing work.
Very insightful
Hello Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and explaining of the Catholic faith . I represent my Anglican Church in ourChurches together group locally. We work together , doing lent courses, worshiping and studying . If there are chasms to heal between us, we are trying here in the North of England. What more would you suggest we do . I think it’s moving Some of us take part fully in both communions which from your talk you wouldn’t agree with. It’s horrible not being able to fully partake. Thanks again
Good day! Brother / Rev. Casey, sorry for my bad grammaring, I am Benedict from the Philippines...
Thank you for your sharing even not all... just as the Bible says like in our Lord ministry in the Gospel of John 21 : 25... tho It is truely inspring I am looking forward to someday meet you personally... or talk to you someday... I just wandering if your community have a formation house here in the Philippines? Thank you and Keep up the holy and good work of yours!
Do you write your own scripts? You’re articulate and have great presence. So interesting. Thank you.
The best music's evade capture by man's devices too, it can only be experiencing in the moment, making it together
Welcome to Athens, GA! You'll like it here
Be Blessed, 😇
funny coincidence that there are two LDS missionaries in the video at :22.
Great topic, well delivered. Just watch the colour temperature of your lighting. Gels will help this if your light head doesn’t have colour temp control. In door you’re looking for about 3800K
Dear Father Casey. I enjoy your down to earth videos. However, please be a little more easy in your comments that you don't pray the rosary at all. We who pray the rosary daily do not necessarily find the rosary unimportant in our lives. I know that the rosary is not a part of your required, daily prayers in the Franciscan order but there are a lot of Franciscans who are also devoted to our Blessed Mother through the rosary like us. May God continue to bless you in your unique mission of touching and enlightening others.
I would really like to hear about how you conceive God in essence. I ask this because I have yet to see any evidence that would enable me to believe in a traditional Deity as outlined in the Bible and other religious texts, but I am wondering if I am missing a more profound concept of God. Thank you
I think when it gets right down to it, it takes a leap of faith. I am a convert. First, I talked to my best friend who is Catholic. Eventually he referred me to a parish priest and suggested I read what I could about the church. He also urged me to pray often. I believe that prayer is important even if you do not believe in God. No prayer is ever wasted.
Thank you, smokey
It took me a while to figure out why the knots were suddenly on the wrong side of your waste...
OMG !!! I would LOVE TO JOIN !! To serve GOD and OTHERS !!! OMG LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!! God bless you Br. Casey !!
A fulfilling life indeed.
Thank you for making a videos of being a Franciscan priest, at least I have ideas of being a Franciscan. I just feel that Franciscan is interesting for me, I don't know maybe it's calling. I'm just thinking if I would be a priest I might choose to be Franciscan. There is something that I can't explain why am I so attractive or so interested about Franciscan's life.
You just did well said
So love my Catholic faith xx
Showing off again.
Something pretty ironic about this comment if you think about it...
Have a look at channels from doctors. They have some of the same issues, not being able to show everything. They do talk about it. Explain it. But they do not show the pstient and perhaps change details. That way, we get some insight, without invading privacy.
I know I'm late to this, but I never thought you were, or should, show everything. If someone decides to pursue becoming a friar based on your videos, and has some misconceptions... well, isn't that exactly why the religious have a long discernment process? So any misconceptions can be cleared up, and the person can see clearly whether they are fit for the real life as a friar, not the "as seen on TV" version.
Brother you are selling the franciscan life even more haha keep me in your prayers please
🙏🙏👏👏
It sounds like.... Come and see...
The cloisters
No 1 Serve
Brother! Doesn't it get tedious having to set up the camera then go away then walk to it!? It's honestly ok if you start infront of the camera it would save so much trouble!!
Remote...? My cousin uses one.
The tone and cadence of Casey's voice reminds me of Joel Osteen.
I've never heard that man speak, and honestly don't want to.
👏 for bro
Franciscan NOT Carmelite. GOD bless you.
I suspect some good ol catholic sensors were involved w the makin of this vid...
Drew Charpentier huh?
Breaking In The Habit it feels like a superior might have been like "careful you're not paintin a romanticized picture of religious life." Or something like that. I have no idea if vlogging monks undergo any censoring tho. Sensors was a typo, obv.
Drew Charpentier Nope, my words are my own. I have been given complete freedom to run this ministry.
Also, I’m not a monk. Common misconception, but check out my video called “What’s the Difference between Monks, Friars, and Jedi?”
Sir the Bible does not once say to live a religious life by become a monk swear a oath of chastity
Poverty and obedience to a church organization you can live a solitude life on your own
First off you need to remove any secular reading material out of your house
Secondly remove any television sets out of your home
Put filters on all your internet connection to block any harmful and un Christian context
From you computer devices
Pray when you get up set up a time of devotion and Bible reading
Listen to Christian music hymns and sermons read the daily church prescribed
Lessons for the the day. The epistles the gospel reading and meditate on those lessons
And how you can apply them to your daily life attend regular services at your local church
Fellowship with other believers say evening prays at night these things I mention do not
Require living a monastic life not living in chastity unless you are not married
And you need not live in poverty nor subject yourself to obedience to religious organization
To control and tell you what to do to be serving the lord
What would St. Francis do?....he surely wouldnt apologize...open up the community for a weekend retreat for your bloggers or sort of open house....come experience a weekend or days of prayer and Franciscan spirituality meet the brothers in their hood!...post online more and say to all...come follow me. See what its like...so many will be attracted.....JMJ
Wouldn't your time be better spent talking about Jesus
My entire mission is to share Jesus. But there is more to evangelization than simply and explicitly speaking his name. I share Jesus in the way that I reveal our life together, showing the effect that he has had on us and what he can do for others; I share Jesus when I teach about the Church and faith. It's all about Jesus, but sometimes the message needs to be a little more subtle to be effective. That's what art does.
i like how you talk about how you can't show some stuffs while casually teleporting around like a wizard XD
Thank you for lighting up my faith again, returning Catholic.
God bless your journey in returning to Him! Hopefully it has gone well
1:45 - 2:05
Your halo is showing.
🕊😂🕊
And the video was amazing.
1:12 The first recorded miracle of Jesus Christ involved alcohol. -And the good stuff.
wow. Thank you for making this video brother. I'm 23 and recently dropped out of university. I'm so confused as to what I want to do in life... Become a farmer? Join the navy? become a teacher abroad? As you can tell I love nature, discipline and structure, and teaching. Maybe I should really consider becoming a friar
Fabien Le Henaff Be sure to look into all the different orders around, and their particular charisms. Talk to a priest, get spiritual direction!
Evan C. I’ll keep that in mind ! Thank you :D
Excuse me, master agree, it's not a choice, it's a call.
or a Monk?
Excuse me, master, totally I am agreeing with you 👍👍👍✌✌✌
How about content teaching about devotions? The brown Scapular, Rosary, 3 Hail Mary's daily, Novena's. How about featuring lil 5 min videos on a Saint of the day? Just some thoughts to get others to maybe form devotion who are away from the church or aren't even Catholic. Last idea show us how a bible passage related to an experience you had and how it went or how you changed the outcome of the moment when you reflected on the passage. God bless you for your service to God.
I think it's a "genre thing." There are videos on other TH-cam Channels focusing strictly on the various Devotions -- there's Pray More Novenas, Catholic Devotions, Family Theater Productions, Jack Sorianos, and many many more. Catholic Connect or Catholic Online features a Saint of the Day series that they've been posting for years.
So because there is religious content on youtube he cant do it?
Happy Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, Friar-Priest-Doctor of the Church (June 13):
Almighty, eternal God,
you have given your people St. Anthony
as an outstanding preacher and intercessor in times of need.
Grant that with his help
we may follow the example of Christian living
and experience your support in all adversities.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
"Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian. And as I close this chaotic volume I open again the strange small book from which all Christianity came; and I am again haunted by a kind of confirmation. The tremendous figure which fills the Gospels towers in this respect, as in every other, above all the thinkers who ever thought themselves tall. His pathos was natural, almost casual. The Stoics, ancient and modern, were proud of concealing their tears. He never concealed His tears; He showed them plainly on His open face at any daily sight, such as the far sight of His native city.
Yet He concealed something.
Solemn supermen and imperial diplomatists are proud of restraining their anger. He never restrained His anger. He flung furniture down the front steps of the Temple, and asked men how they expected to escape the damnation of Hell.
Yet He restrained something.
I say it with reverence; there was in that shattering personality a thread that must be called shyness. There was something that He hid from all men when He went up a mountain to pray. There was something that He covered constantly by abrupt silence or impetuous isolation. There was some one thing that was too great for God to show us when He walked upon our earth; and I have sometimes fancied that it was His mirth."
G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 1908
Greetings to you Br. Casey and to everybody on this channel. From Italy 🌿🌿🌿🌿💒💒💒💒
Beautiful.... Wow... I am admiring the way u put it...
This was excellent. It's the first time I've ever heard a vlogger or youtuber or anyone speaking to the public, express this. We can easily forget that the most profound things and many of the most ordinary things may not be able to be shown, seen, or experienced on or by a video.
It’s Okay! We understand if you can’t show some things if they’re to private. I enjoy your videos either way😊
Morgan Hawkins My sentiments exactly! ❤❤❤❤
I love these posts. I'm in formation to become a secular Franciscan. I can't get enough of all things Franciscan. Your candid conversations make your journey totally relatable. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Pax et bonum.
It is wonderful to hear about someone (not a friar or nun) who is becoming a part of the Franciscan family and remaining a member of the laity (single or married people in the world). God bless you on this journey of faith, living out your baptism in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi.
I wonder how many fraternities associated with the Order of Friars Minor exist around the USA. (I know of Roman Catholic and Anglican/Episcopal fraternities around the NYC metropolitan area.)
If you are curious about our region you can find a bit of info by going here: www.queenofpeaceregion.org/ Here in Omaha, NE we have 2 fraternities of lay Franciscans and our fraternity has about 25 members including 3 candidates, of which I am one. We also have a Poor Clare convent in town. My fraternity is a wonderful group of people on fire with the spirits of Francis and Clare. Praise be to God! Thanks for asking - I never tire of sharing the joy of fraternity.
This is probably the most important video you’ve made. What you and your brothers do is so amazing
Jacob Rominger, my thoughts exactly!
Jacob - this is first vid I’ve seen by brother. He is very good in speaking well to the camera and editing and content. I’m wondering if he had professional background or schooling. Looking at various TH-cam ... some guys are very talented. I hope brother Casey does not loose focus which can easily happen when one has too many talents. From experience in long time federal government, lots of guys have lots of brains but can’t speak or deal with others.

I think I've said this before. You're a natural cleric with premier 21st Century telecommunication skills.
Not interested in becoming a friar. But, what you can, maybe, talk about is knowing God, feeling Him there, when you baptize, or anoint the sick. I knew a priest, interesting man, Father Crawford, in Oakland, CA. He told me once about being called to the hospital. A teenager, burn victim, I don't recall how it happened. The kid was in a tub of water, and they'd given him pain relievers and anti inflammatories. Father Crawford was giving him Communion. It had been a while for the kid, and he was uncertain. Father Crawford broke of a bit of the wafer, and put it on the kid's tongue. Much later, I was a housekeeper at a hospital in Geauga County, OH. It's easier to clean these rooms, going from one to the next methodically. There was a kid with Down's syndrome, getting the anointing of the sick. I had moved my cart near the doorway, when I saw what was going on. This is a very private thing, and the kid knew what was happening, and, frankly, looked scared. I skipped the room, went to the next, and did that one last. I had been a holistic practitioner in a hospice in Oakland, and I was often called on to hold a hand, to try to explain what healing is, and how it doesn't always take the form we want. I was there 14 years, and left because I was burned out. But the feeling, to give someone some kind of comfort in their extremity like that was, seriously, why I was there. Can you talk about this? I am not Christian, but I could feel the Goddess with me as I held these hands. I'm a Reiki master, and, in session, I can feel the Goddess flowing through me to help give them the energy to do what needs to be done, whether it's to improve, or it's to separate body from soul. It was incredibly rewarding. I seriously can't do it anymore.
my brother pray for me and my two sons my name is s.catherine ;thanks very much....................;;;
Not only do your videos inspire others but your life does too. It's the Ideas you share with us help us in our own lives, we don't need to spend our lives watching every little second of yours, that wouldn't be very beneficial to us, now would it. The moments you do share with your viewers inspire us to live better with God, thank you brother Casey, for all the moments you do show us.
Teresa Cabral, lovely
This video has a certain poetic quality.
Thanks for these video, I think is very important to remenber that follow Jesus and do God's Will is the best , but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. God bless you!
I was back reading your blog before you made TH-cam videos. The one thing that you carry with you in all of your platforms is words. Even sans pictures or limited pictures (Ex: The Instagram bicycle story, Instant Classic) you paint pictures. I could see you and your brethren in all the activities you could not film. As long as you spend time stringing words together whether talking to someone or writing, you are going to be fine.
Thanks!
I think I echo many of the other comments, however, would love to give you a challenge. As part of my Franciscan formation, I meet with my Novice Guardian, and spend time reflecting on my latest essay or on stuff that has happened. How would you feel, thinking about sharing some of your feelings and reflections on some of those powerful issues that people present you with. Not from their perspective or about them, but your thoughts on how that may be changing you and how the Lord is working in you. It is a joy to see you grow in your ministry through this channel.. Keep up the great work. P et B.
Of all your videos that I have watched so far, this one is my favorite.
For me now I can say by not showing the things you cannot show, yet with the explanation and great choice of background music was the best way of showing me what cannot be shown. Maybe the fact that I was on the "inside" once and want to get back was making it easier as I lived, learned and understood those things. Keep on making the videos as they are as always great.
God bless you dear
Great video as there is so much that if on video would be SOOOOOOO boring. Probably half the time I'm not wearing my habit because I'm doing some mundane thing that the habit would just not be appropriate dress for.
I've wanted to be a priest for a long time Br. Casey and I've wanted to be a Franciscan for a long time as well. Your videos and your book help keep that hope alive. Some days I wish I could be right there with you and the other brothers "breaking in the habit" and doing the will of Our Lord.
W Cornett, May God bless you....take your take time 👍👍👍
Amen!!!
Well said Bro Casey...I was blessed enough to live in the Franciscan community for a year. I also have a few aunts that are nuns and experienced their lives for 6 years. It takes a very special person to devote their entire self and life to God. I highly admire you. Many blessings.
I respect the habit but I do have issues with it. It is not what saint Francis wore. Francis had a sack cloth tied with a rope. Its not a carefully cut habit. So I think habits are barriers, I agree with showing you are a follower of Christ and Francis but jesus didn't wear habits.
I agree with you that the habit does not have the same significance today as it did 800 years ago. I disagree, however, that it is a barrier. While it may have a different significance than its inception, within just a few years it grew to mean something much more--namely, a symbol of humility, pastoral care, and holiness--and for much of our history has been an enormous asset. When I wear it, it makes me a better Christian because it reminds me of who I am and prevents me from doing "un-Christian" things, as well as being a vehicle for building up the kingdom of God. I can't tell you how often people stop me in the streets, in secular places, and ask for prayers, share their lives, or unburden themselves of their pain. Yes, it may not be what St. Francis envisioned, but that doesn't mean it is a barrier. Quite the opposite. I am able to live as a Christian in a habit far better than outside of one.
And as for "Jesus didn't wear habits," we have to ask ourselves: are we called to literally follow everything about Jesus or are we called to follow in his mission. Because if it's about literally following Jesus, then let's remember that he never spoke English, didn't drive in cars, take vacations, use phones, raise money for the poor, vote, eat pizza, attend a church service, donate to the bishop's annual appeal, or have a staff meeting. Just because something didn't exist in one time doesn't mean that it is not effective or important in another.
well it is just Novus ordo, since B16 2007 Traditional mass I feel n love with this massand left the sacred heart Prov. and all that song and dance mass a QU in Quincy,Ill of the order. If St. Francis came back, he could say WHERE are my brothers?
I think he would see that they were right where he left them: a hodgepodge, catch-all group of men serving the poor at the margins, overindulging, evangelizing the world, letting their brothers down, and shaking up the Church. The fact of the matter is that we are exactly where we have always been, a mixed bag of inspiration and disappointment.
For example, we can go back and look at an old house of the friars in Italy built in the 15th century. The rooms are so small you can touch both sides with your arms, and it would be easy to say that they were truly poor and today's friars aren't. Except... who in the 15th century had their OWN room? Who had a refectory and a cook, a courtyard, a chapel to pray in. They seem austere to us today, but in their time, they were much more than any peasant could afford. The same is true today.
I just wish to ear much more about your relationship with Jesus, I love each video though don't miss them
I love the "I love beer" part! God bless you in all your travels! Come to Saskatoon once 😁
Thank you for this great, introspective video. Can you please make a video about prayer? How can we make our prayers the best possible and how can we escape occasional monotony while praying the rosary...?
This is amazing....its eye opening yet the benchmark to a new insight of your channel; i love it very much br deacon casey, i consider this channel a very genuine snippet of this great life you lead as well it helps me grow in understanding spiritually, or even when im sick and unable to move your channel keeps me company lol as i watch you talking with fr tuttle for example i think what this channel brings is light , discernment and inspiration so thank you for even taking the time to bring me into your fabulous daily life 😀✌
Amen Brother Casey, agree! God bless you and thank you! Greeting from Indonesia!
It is good to hear a bit -- just a bit -- of an apology for disseminating illusion.
Great video of your reality when relating with others in religious life. I love this channel because you are authentic and “real.” Always looking for the next episode. Thanks.
I do not consider the idea that your ministry to the individual, fraternity or yourself as something private to necessarily be a bad thing. I'm not here to see that. I'm here to remind myself that, despite previous mishaps between Catholics and Gnostics, both groups are, fundamentally human and, while we may disagree on some philosophical and theological points, we still believe in the same God. I am here to have my views challenged. I am here to find where the falsehood lies in my theological and secular views so they may be corrected with new insight.
Do not mistake me. I don't consider Catholics to be evil. Occasionally misguided and, unfortunately more often, missing spirituality for ritual, but not evil. I'm happy to have stumbled upon this channel so I might have my misconceptions revealed and corrected. And for being that voice and becoming an indirect teacher, you will have my eternal gratitude.
Your channel(s), your contents give me much needed peace. I am burned out and completely exhausted from the daily pressure of work and basically my whole life that’s basically been just obstacles after obstacles to overcome. Now I’m trying to get on my feet again, I‘m seeing a therapist and I regularly meditate but nothing has furnished me with so much peace and quiet like you and your content. I believe in God but I don’t practice my faith. I just wanted to say thank you and I‘m looking forward to your upcoming posts.
The story you share is life itself. Media, entertainment industry, even news have distorted what life should be and what it is. The "fun" stuff is a very small part of life. The stimulation, adrenaline rush, euphoria of fun and excitement is not what life is about at all. Unfortunately, more and more are coming to believe it should be. The struggle of life and conscious effort to be more Godly has been replaced with entitlements and a continual search for happiness through external stimulation. It took me a very long time to realize there is not enough time and especially enough money to fulfill this false belief. Life is about the struggle, the sharing, the crying, the celebration of small wins, the love between family members, and mostly the love between man and God and our driving desire to be even a small part of what we can be in his eyes. I pray the human species wises up soon.
We are called to do God's work in private, with the absence of Pride....keep it secret, the reward will be a hundred fold in eternity.
You might be surprised how many people will want to see a boring person chanting or praying with their eyes closed or someone who is sleeping. There are very popular videos document repetitive practice video of musical instruments. Or eating habits.
Priests can have beer???
Really
sandeep delar Yes, why not? There is nothing inherently wrong with alcohol. Our greatest celebration, the Eucharist, uses wine because that’s what Jesus used. In Scripture, wine is a symbol for celebration and salvation. There is no reason someone can’t have a beer and be Christian, and priests are not held to a higher standard in this regard.
My parish priest brews it!
You're not Catholic, are you? There are monasteries across Europe, particularly Trappist monks from Belgium, who brew some of the finest beers in the world!!!
I have shared a beer with many priests. They are human too
So film a dark night of the soul episode and balance it out once in a while. I prob wouldn't be alone in finding encouragement in some gut punching battles with acedia and despair. Beats the hell out of "lolling about in an emotionally satisfying faith."
Hmmm looks like the datachment of the dark night has an interesting effect in you its nice isnt it? The joy found in suffering is knowing that you are united to your beloved closer then ever the greatest glory of all of the mounts Jesus was on it wasnt the Mount with Elijah and Moses and Jesus transfigured, it wasn't the mount of olives either where an angel consoled him but Golgotha where the greatest of colsolation was given and this actually should be emotionally charging because you know your cross is teeny tiny compared to the one our Master endured out of love for us. In song of songs 3 the soul exclaims 1Bride: On my bed, throughout the night, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, and did not find him.
But then when in this unity of suffering the one you sought in sorrow is found and kept in your heart more heated in suffering because you know the gaze is their more deeply then anything and theres nothing else that matters to you. The flowery bosom is ignited because it suffers with our Lord in abandonment and pain its an honor to share every sting cuz its small. Thanks for sharing your comment lol i love the dark night as well i ponder it often as well the song of songs i might be wrong on the interpretation but its interesting what your willing to go thru for love
While I feel comfortable with my decision to have left the Catholic tradition behind, I have a lot of respect for Fr. Casey. While we may not agree theologically, morally or perhaps even politically, I really appreciate the opportunity to watch his videos and learn from him. Thanks dude!
Slightly similar to what many of us do everyday on social media. We go to interesting places and post the best of our pics etc. and then await the feedback. The thing is, quite often, there are other images we could post from these areas, like broken wine bottles, beer cans, rubbish strewn about, drunks and addicts wandering the backstreets etc. The nice pics only tell half the story.
I just don't agree with the huge bag of raisins on your counter. Ewwww!!
Thanks for your service. You are a class act, a true professional, a humble servant, and a man of God.
it is great how you know what to share and what not that takes discipline it also takes a certain amount of courage to admit it and still want to keep going
Amazing!
Remember Jesus once said "Come and see" and this is what you also are saying. I once followed this advice, but after a few years God showed me a different path. I do not regret either part of my life.
Perfectly understandable. You are blessed and a blessing. I like watching your videos and I thank you for answering your calling. you're a cool dude!!! :-)
