Hello brother, I want to mention something (or rather someone) which has helped me a lot as a fellow Christian. Her name is Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ! Today in the Church we celebrate when she visited Elizabeth, who professed her to be the ‘mother of my Lord’ Mary herself says, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord… all generations shall call me blessed, because he that is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name’! May the Mother of God accompany you and May you rejoice in her maternal care always!
"...no, no, no I'm not that into it. I just wanna go on Sunday, just check the box, get the fire insurance, and I'm gone" 😂😂😂. Fr. Columba is the best❤️
I was baptized, confirmed, and received first Eucharistic on Easter Vigil and I'm considering becoming a nun or sister. I'm not sure if that's what I'm being called to but I'm praying on it.
Wow congratulations! May God grant you the wisdom to discern His will for your life and grow you in faith and love and knowledge of Him! God bless youuu🙏🏾❤️
Thank you father and video producers! A few days ago I ran a Half-marathon abroad. Then I got invited to a 40 min live-interview on a catholic radio station to talk about running and faith. I think it was the will of God. I only had to say yes. I did it and it was a great joy and hopefully a great blessing for others.
this video hit me. Thank you Father.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😇😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰I have been journaling for 30 years since my father passed away. I turned to God as my Father. It’s been 35 years now and I accumulated these journals. I asked God and I also learned how to listen to the Lord. Now I am in the middle of writing a book. Thank You Father for this video. This just confirmed that I am doing what God’s Will for me.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😇😇😇😇
I planned on praying to figure this out. It kind of just hit me. I’m a widower of almost three years. I was commenting on Reddit page for widowers. Start a support group for widowers/widows at my parish! I’m not a therapist, but I’m going to think about this and mention it to my priest. Maybe there is a therapist at the Church willing to volunteer some time.
So grateful to the married couple who knew they had a perfect opportunity to share the great gift of Fr C!! Amen! This vid is so crystal clear…and so oft not spoken.
Thank you Father! That little talk felt like a warm and inspiring fire. Thank you also to Katie and her husband. I’m so grateful for how your work has supported and changed my life and so many others. God bless you all abundantly!
Thank you so much Fr Columba for your outpouring love for God's sheep. You don't know how many times I have asked God a question in Prayer and he has used you as his Beautiful instrument to answer me. Thank you Father!!
I love this so much! I believe my calling is doing videos for the kingdom too. God has been telling me for ages but I would always ignore it, or dismiss it. Recently after prayer and spending more time in the Word, and daily mass, I've finally listened and I'm doing my best to step up, as frequently as I'm led to and consistently 🥰🥰 I feel like it’s no coincidence that I'm seeing this and that you mentioned St Patrick! I'm so inspired by St Patrick, my baptismal anniversary is on his feast day🙏🏾💃🏾
Father, I’m always amazed how God works! Your videos have helped me so much!! (And have inspired many other thousands around the world.)God bless the young couple who started the “Called to More” series too. They answered their call, and are seeing the fruits of their labors. May we all do the same! ❤
Fr. Columba, I’ve introduced CTM to my sister. Because of you she’s watching daily. She loves what you’re teaching and thinks you’re hot because of your beard. I’m hoping she’ll come back to the Faith. Do answer my question please. I can’t get an answer from my parish priest.
Please consider kindly discouraging your sister from at least speaking that way about a religious. This is a man who has given his life to serve our Lord, and practices poverty, chastity and obedience. It is disrespectful to refer to him in a way that refers to his physical appearance in a base or lustful way.
I agree entirely, priests need to focus on mass, the sacraments and do this to as well as possible(then no complaints). Committees and volunteerism is very much an Irish thing, look at the G.A.A. which is fully integrated into every community in Ireland. Maybe just talk about volunteering than ministry, most never think of themselves as having a mission, volunteering is the language of the day. Also volunteering takes into account different levels or frameworks of involvement, could be 1 day in a year to weekly, monthly etc.
Ha ! All my life in the church I’ve been rejected, gossiped, backstabbed and in one parish I had to go see a psychologist who diagnosed…… tadataraarraddaa……PTSD ! My current parish I can’t find privacy as there’s always minions who watch all you do then fall over one another to get into your space and steal your blessings your graces. Infact I took ideas which I believe , through much prayer meditation and living experience, to be the revelation of Gods will for me to serve the parish. But the PP isn’t interested . And so life goes on and the clerics win their way. ……….. Christ says…. “I Am The Way ……🏴❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
What if I don't know WHAT my mission is?? What if Ive been asking for and listening for my mission, and I can't hear anything? I've been listening as hard as I can, being still, and I hear nothing. What can I do? What if I don't have a mission at all? ☹️
The disposition you need to receive Jesus Christ our Lord are: Being in state of grace (having no mortal sin on your conscience) and willing to actually receive Jesus so that He can heal you, comfort you, or whatever you need. The disposition of the people giving the Eucharist are their own problem and not yours. However if this situation causes scandal in your parish you should also pray for them and for the situation as it is from your brother in Christ that your are receiving Jesus, as equally a part of the same mystical body you are part of too. In conclusion, focus on praying while receiving Jesus because the graces you receive really depends on your internal disposition to receive Christ and letting Him work inside you, while if you are constantly worried about something else you are creating obstacles to God graces and therefore loosing an opportunity to live in more depth the mystery of the Holy Trinity and living of charity that unite it. God bless you in your journey
I believe you need to be clean to receive the Eucharist.Free of sin.Fornication and sodomy is considered a sin.Through confession and repentance sins and burdens are wiped clean.Enabling one to start a fresh.Hope this helps brother.
From personal experience, God always meets us at our point of need. He knows where and how best to reach us. Sometimes God talks to us through people close to us, or through content we watch on Social media if need be😅 Definitely through scripture, and also in a quiet stirring of our hearts. Be still in His presence, or simply just be. Be open to hearing from Him and you will 🙏🏾❤
This is the best missionary work I never new could excist. O my god. Columba could have been a professional standup comedian. I love his wisdom and def the way he communicates it. I might be on my guard not to become a Christian soon..
I'm not a catholic but as a brother in Christ, I get soooo much from your teaching. Keep up the good work!

Be blessed in whatever path you take.
I would love to know the lord's will for me, I'm 51 yes old.i have been through alot of storm but I still pray that the lord will show me the way.
My wife and I go to Adoration at least once a month.
It is such a gift.
There is nothing like going to adoration. Fiat!
God bless you and those who work behind the scenes to share your ministry with us.
Thank you so much for your kind words and generosity, Stacy!

Wonderful!

Bishop Strickland is a wonderful example of a bishop who answers God's will in the midst of many difficulties. HE loves his flock and God, of course.

Father, I humbly ask you to pray for me.

I know what my job for the Lord is but i have no means to live it out. My vocation is stuck.
Introduce me to them so that I can at least get started? Please😊

We could do with some over controlling clerics. But good video.
How do you take refuge in the Sacred Heart Or the Immaculate heart of Mary ? This is for me totally obscure.
What do you mean, your last talk????
Also, is it ok to receive HOLY EUCHARIST from a person who is LGBTQIA+? I truly need an answer post haste🤯
Why would somebody's sexual orientation have power over the Eucharist? Do you sincerely think it's that fragile?
The disposition you need to receive Jesus Christ our Lord are:
Being in state of grace (having no mortal sin on your conscience) and willing to actually receive Jesus so that He can heal you, comfort you, or whatever you need.
The disposition of the people giving the Eucharist are their own problem and not yours.

Then maybe he needs to start talking to me more instead of being "silent".
If God is silent then spend more time in silence with Him. You might not like the answer but often we dont receive what we want but what we need
