I’m a new subscriber. I like the content on your channel. 😇👍You are so right. We need to keep our focus on God and live today well. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Our Lord said sufficient are the problems we have today. What is most important is loving and serving God and serving Christ in our neighbor. Thank you for reminding me to focus on being a good Catholic. God bless you. -Patty 😇🙏👍
I think it was St Gabriel Possenti of Our Lady of Sorrows who said the keep playing pool quote. That saint saw his half of his path of salvation to be in strict obedience to the rule of life of his religious order that he was to take vows for. Since he was obeying the rule by participating in recreation at the proper time then what else could he or should he be doing at the end of the world? He should always live as if Jesus could come back at any moment. His life story is really amazing. I agree completely about the constant bickering about the leadership in the traditional movement. It is what led me to no longer consider myself a traditionalist. Everything good in the Church comes from Tradition - so as long as I am trying to be faithful than I am traditional. But lack of fidelity to the Holy Father and dishonouring our Father, the Vicar of Christ, is as untraditional and unscriptural as you can get. When I started to see those fruits I then saw what the pope was worried about when suppressing the Tridentine mass. I love all forms of approved liturgies. But living in the west can be funny at times. As you said, we have access to the sacraments daily. But to us it just isn't good enough. We make excuses and claim we can't go to daily Mass unless it is in Latin or unless it is the extraordinary form. Yet where people are being martyred for the faith and doing missions they would never think about complaining about the form of the Mass which gives them so much courage. Attend the form that you prefer if you can. But don't bash other forms of the Mass. Beauty speaks for itself. In all honesty though I have come to prefer the Novus Ordo after thinking about the issue for quite some time. I like them both but prefer the ordinary form. I trust that the Holy Ghost moved the Church to reform the liturgy for these times. And as beautiful as the Tridentine Mass is, the devil pretends to be light and offers a false solution through schism. Martin Luther was disobedient in saying Mass in a language that he was not permitted to do so. And now people wish to do the same thing in the reverse way. The devil uses a two sided coin when attacking. Satan doesn't care whether you are a modernist or a rad trad, but only that you reject the faith in some way. Rejecting the pope is rejecting the faith. Anyway, what a beautiful story of martyrdom. Thank you for sharing.
What a sad but inspiring story. Thank you for sharing!
