    The view of the secular world...I’m over-educated for my full-time ministry position. Dear Lord, I admit I’m mentally struggling in my present employment, assist me in focusing on you and NOT man. In Christ Jesus. AMEN 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾
    Thank you

    It is such a pleasure to listen to you Dr. Bergsma... Not that the others at the center aren't good... But the way you present like Dr. Pitre is just a pleasure. Always looking forward to the reflections from you and the others (Becket & Curtis)

    A Blessed feastday of St. Philip Neri to you too, Dr. Bergsma! Went to Mass this morning and heard Father that it's his feastday. Loved listening this video of you today. I miss sitting, listening, and watching you and many panel of speakers at the ABS conferences at Steubenville, Ohio in the previous years. Dead sea scrolls and the many fun stick figures you did about the Psalms and all that... 🙂 Dearest Lord Jesus, Thank you for sending us your authentic teaching from these beautiful people. Amen! 🌹

    God bless you all the st paul centre. It has truly been a blessing for me listening to your reflections everyday and I particularly enjoy listening to Dr. Bergsma. It has filled me with a deeper understanding of scripture and the teachings of holy mother church. I pray that you may be able to continue your work despite the hate you receive from certain ignorant people.

    Day 1:
    Me: it’s Curtis Mitch. Yep. I definitely think he’s my favorite.
    Day 2: never mind. It’s Becket. he’s my favorite.
    Day 3: 😀😀 yay it’s Dr Bergsma. My absolute favorite.
    Day 4: Curtis Mitch.
    Me: 🥰🥰🥰 👍👍👍
    rinse and repeat, day after day after day. Picking a favorite is like trying to pick a favorite child.
    I do know that My favorite thing every day is waking up to hear the St Paul Center’s take on the daily mass readings. I like seeing how God can speak through different styles of teaching.

      @@tony1685 howdy bro! What is the point on keeping the Sabbath if you continue bearing false witness against your neighbors? Can’t you listen to our Lord in the voice of another brother? Humble yourself bro just a little, you’re gonna miss the bridegroom for not keeping enough oil for your lamp. God bless you tony!

      @@tony1685 you are the one not being precise, and yes indeed accusations are very serious, for which words that this man spoke are you accusing him of? Remember, for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you. God bless you tony!

      @@tony1685 oh! I got you! You are not calling them liars because of what he says in the video! But because, as you say, they don’t keep the Sabbath holy. See, that is being precise! I guess if you comment in a video is to discuss the theme of the video, which is not the case with your accusations, and I told you not to bear false witness, and to clarify your accusations because of what he said in the video, now we are clear 👍🏼.
      I totally agree with you on 1 John 2:3-4, Jesus told us all the time, if we love Him, we’ll keep His commands, He calls us friends, if we keep His commands. I’m with you on that.
      Now, do you know when did the Church changed the worship day? And why?

    Stewardship is to be supported the Catholic Church is the keeper of the history of God and men.
    We are all stewards!!!!
    From the most humble to the humblest our Pope.
    The more we know the more humble we become.

    A lot of people have pride or insecurities and don't do God's will. They want to enforce their will. They want to be noticed, they want to do a job that they're not built for, that God didn't design them to do. Some people want the glory of being in leadership but they can't handle the stress, or it goes to their head cause they're very vain......... scary. People can risk their soul for that.

    You are right.l would not mind at all if l had to open doors or clean toilets or wash windows for me that is okay .my philosophy in my CONSECRATED LIFE IS. EVERYTHING IS NOBLE IN THE SERVICE OF GOD AND ITS PEOPLE .
    IF WE ARE IN FOR POWER OR CAREER. OR FAME. THAT IS NOT THE ROAD TO EMBRACE FOR A LIFETIME.
