I’m trying to understand how dead saints can pray for you? Can you please point to scripture that indicates this prayer ritual? I’m not being sarcastic I’m trying to understand this. It’s all of the praying to Saints or for saints to intercede. Including Mary but as much as I’ve read I cannot see where any are still living or sitting next to God, well except Moses and Enoch, that we should pray to them or ask that they pray for us. Please help me.
I attended 12 years of parochial school but never understood my faith like I can gather by listening to Father Chris . Thank you for all of your passion and instruction .
Fr Chris is a great Catechist, passionate (zeal) and fully devoted to Christ and his Church. I wish all parish priests were like him, but life is not perfect. We’re blessed to have Fr Chris.🙏
Fantastic video Fr. Alar! I was 11 in 1962, went to Catholic school, sang in the choir at the Latin Mass. Everything you said about the times back then was not only informative but powerful. My parents, aunts & uncles would sit around the kitchen table discussing Vatican 2. I remember, I never did accept what came out of it. You have just given me all the answers to all the questions I have had these past 60 years. I love Holy Mother Church, and what she has gone through in my lifetime has broken my heart. I thank God for Priests like you. You are in my prayers Father Chris, as well as your congregation. Peace and Love to you all.
I entered religious life in the 70's it was confusing and everything became political. After 8 years I left the convent and the church. I spent 20 years as a Tibetan Buddhist and found my way back to the TLM with the help Our Lady and a holy priest.
That’s interesting. I too left the Church in my early adulthood. Practiced Buddhism (Theravada) and then returned to the church. And I also have more traditional leanings. Just thought I’d share since we have similar experiences. God bless you. Vivat Jesus.
Amen, I’ll be 73 in 2 days and because of father Alar, I’m learning more about my faith than I’ve known all my life. God Bless Father Alar and keep him safe !
I went through 16 years of Catholic education. I had absolutely no love of my faith. I hated going to the novus ordo Mass. During COVID, I found the Traditional Latin Mass and suddenly I found myself in love with the Mass. I even went back to confession after 40 years, because the TLM makes it so clear that the Eucharist is the body of Christ. Prior to that, at novus ordo, I would think nothing of receiving the Eucharist with mortal sins on my soul. Traditional Latin Mass is our birthright and we were screwed out of it. I even moved my house to be near the church where TLM is available.
I think you are still missing the point. As Father Alar says, it's not the Vatican II council's fault. Novus Ordo is beautiful if done correctly. You were apparently in a parish with problems. Don't blame the Novus Ordo. Blame how it was done.
I was bored Catholic, However I search for truth in all other penticostal churches but l cannot find peace and satisfaction in my life so I have to returned to my own orign Catholic church where my grandmother thought me all the common prayers especially Rossary prayers now I,m satisfied with your Website explanation,Fr.Alar, congratulations to you from PNG you Website watchers
@@markross3346 Exactly! Well said Mark💯 The progressive takeover of the Church was coincidentally going on at the same time as and decades after Vatican II occurred. It was not the council itself that was bad, but the progressive opportunists inside the Church and the passive Bishops around the world who allowed these people to implement the destructive changes we've seen in the decades following Vatican II who are to blame.
Fr. Chris, you are a HUGE reason for my conversion and return to the Church after having been away for 30 years! I found the Devine Mercy channel and can’t get enough of your message. I went to confession recently and unloaded 30 years of sinning on my parish Priest and it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me when he absolved and blessed me! I even joined the Marian Helpers. Thank you for your ministry and may God bless you and all good Priests for your work for His Church and your flocks.
I have been to the Latin Mass. I love the serenity, the chanting and the reverence. What I found missing was the community that I always get a sense of when I read the Book of Acts. When the priest is facing away from the congregation atnd you cannot hear what he is saying, and it is more difficult to follow along ( hence the bells), I felt like I was observing rayher than participating. When the priest is facing the congregation on the other side of the table, and you can hear, see and participate in what is going on, I feel as if that is the priest acting in persona Christe and we are at the table with him as at the Last Supper- communing with the Lord. That is what I found missing in the Latin Mass. I am a "cradle Catholic" who was vrry lost for a number of years, married a man who was raised Southern Baptist. His part of our spiritual journey led him eventually to Catholicism, which after a year of serious prayer ( and a lot of initial resistance in my heart) followed him. Now we teach a Catholic Catechism class on Sunday mornings before 11 am Mass. We have been doing this now for going ito our 3rd year, and we haven't even gotten a 1/4 of the ay through the book. Our biggest complaint is that there are so many things that Catholics do not know about their faith, ( no meat on Friday being one of those).and they never hear about it from the pulpit. This has become too long winded,and that was not my intent. Thank you Father Chris, I found this video when my husband and I were discussing some of these very things!
Thank you so much. I used to think that my parents didn't understand the teachings of Vatican II when they would tell me that what I was being taught at Catholic school was wrong. Consequently my sister and I belonged to our folk group, I played the guitar at Mass, I belonged to a neo-progressive religious order that didn't wear a habit and bucked against the Magisterium. This talk was a BIG DEAL for me! I am a glad Trad now as you call it, and every year I grow more conservative. I am now a member of Regnum Christi and wear the mantilla at every Mass. Amen!
When abuses occur, the higher-ups will say it shouldn't be occurring, that it isn't in Vatican II, but often nothing gets done. But when it is in Vatican II the mass is to be said in Latin it's ignored just as they ignore past Council decrees.
I started going to a traditional Latin Mass a couple years ago after a lifetime at the Novus Ordo. I can honestly say that I am now more engaged in the mass than I've ever been... and yet I spend almost the whole mass with my mouth shut. That is amazing. The fact that I'm not constantly praying out loud, singing, responding, shaking hands, etc. allows me to really focus on Jesus, pray and read the prayers of the mass in my missal. And that is the other misconception. People say the Novus Ordo was meant for more "active conscious participation of the laity." If you're following along in the Latin/English missal, you are actually participating more than you ever would in the Novus Ordo. You can follow along with every prayer the priest says, whether they're out loud or quiet - something you cannot do in the Novus Ordo. And the sheer reverence and depth of the prayers in the Latin Mass are humbling. The Latin mass ministers to God - it is meant to please God. It faces God and focuses on God. The Novus Ordo ministers to us. It focuses on us. It is meant to please us.
Thankyou Fr Chris for being so passionate about bringing unity to church unlike some who are determined to break it up through their own pride. You are true to the Gospel and may God bless you and your work.
Umm who are you referring to? The whole post conciliar direction was a joyride of prideful euphoria that no one has owned up to. And now, a divisive Pope determined to drive wedges. It's a betrayal. I will now listen to the rest of Fr Alars talk - it's quite long 😂
Fr. Chris you are trully Christs soldier. Thank you for the hard work you do to educate us. I am praying for you and that we here have priests that are like you, striving for holiness and are hard workers. God bless you!
Thanks Fr. Chris and all of the Marians. I was confirmed at a novus ordo Easter Vigil, it was an amazing experience. I can't even begin to describe the joy and pure love I felt. It felt like the Holy Spirit was giving me just a taste of the joy of Heaven. In fact, all of holy week for me was profound. As far as a nuns habit, I feel that there is a silent but really dignified beauty in seeing a nun in her habit.
I believe i thnk..i just felt that 1962 felt wrong.i was a nun.i was devout.i felt safe..then.. destruction. PLEASE SEE. WHAT EXACTLY DID PETER SO??? AFTER JESUS had SPOKEN ABOUT THE KEYS? WHAT EXACT DID HE See. "GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN " WHY???? I WHAT IT KNOW THIS.
Thanks Fr. Perfect revelation. Here we go. Let the naysayers be upset. Pray for them. I used to be rad trad- dead angry end. Never a modernist liberal. I am grateful to be an Orthodox Traditionalist. A Convert from protestantism. I Am Home thanks to God's grace and mercy. ✡️✝️🇨🇦
I grew up and raised in a Catholic setting, private school, Catholic nuns, everyone around me was Catholic being fr the Philippines. When I migrated here settled in San Francisco converted to a Protestant Church thought all was the same. Became a non practicing Catholic; my friend a Catholic priest said he was not wp¹orried, said I will eventually return to the true Church. True enough, Fr. Tony had passed was not around when I have returned and have a new thirst for my faith and desire to serve Jesus. I love my Savior and His holy Mother. Thank you Fr. CHRIS I try to follow your Sat talks. God bless you and the Marian fathers.🙏🙏🙏
As a recent convert to theCatholic Faith , i thank you fr.Alar for explaining this. Ive heard talk against Vatican II and for the Traditional Latin Mass and I was confused. Nobody took the time to explain it and I just didnt know what it was all about. God bless you, father.
Father, as I was born in 1940, when I am deprived of access to Latin Mass, I have to attend the N.O. I follow my original Missal and find it amazing how much of the original prayers are omitted. What is left of the Canon? Prayers of preparation at the foot of the altar? Quiet time to kneel after Holy Communion and pray thanksgiving? The Leontine prayers at the end of Mass for the protection of the Church? Please look into this Father. Thank you for what you are doing Father. It is wonderful you are seeing the damage and pulling it together.
Sadly, it’s reasonable to say the viewers of this show, do not read or study the bible for themselves. When Jesus returns, we will all be held accountable for our own salvation. You call this preacher FATHER. it says in scripture that God is a jealous God, Our very own teacher, Jesus said to pray like him, starting our Father in heaven hallowed be thy name. I don’t think Jesus was praying to father Chris, he wanted us to have a personal line to God the father there are good bible teachers on you tube, you need to discern these preachers and ask Jesus to guide you to the truth. This kind of teaching does nothing to help your spiritual growth, this is like child Sunday school ask Jesus to give you his Holy Spirit that you can grow
@@tinaari88I'm glad you believe in Jesus! He founded a Church to save souls! That is the Catholic Church. You can find the actual real living Jesus in our Church. His Body, Blood Soul and Divinity is in the Holy Eucharist and you can come visit Him. God bless you!
THIS IS VERY VERY MUCH needed to be heard by all CATHOLICS….. Thank you 🙏🏻 FATHER CHRIS ALAR , prayed for you as I began to listen to this talk… 🤍🔥🕊️ January 29 2023💔🇺🇸🙏🏻💔🕊️
Father Chris, what an appropriate title for your talk today as we thought Satan was interfering with the broadcast of this lifestream. I remember you telling us that one of Satan‘s greatest tools is confusion and boy, are we living in a world of confusion today. Thank you for giving us clarity when other priests fall short. Sadly, our secular society today rejects any type of authority. Thank you also for reminding us that while the discipline of the church can be changed, truth and morals cannot. Fr Chris, we all recognize that you put your heart and soul into every presentation you give us. I pray that one day we ALL can have the same zeal about our beautiful Catholic faith as you do. 🙏
12:26am. Fr Alar I know that you make thorough research and review of the Seminary studies you had. I admire you and all your talks. They clarify a lot of questions I have about my Faith and the Catholic Church. Your presentations are so bold and sincere. I pray that there would be more priests like you. You are so accurate when you say the Church is losing a lot of its followers and this is so true. I tell my family, relatives and friends to listen to your talks so they can be enlighten also. God bless you with good health. We need you🙏🙏🙏 please stay safe and take care always 🙏🙏🙏
FR.chris when I hear your voice it sounds like God is talking to me directly.i thank the lord and the blessed mother for guiding you in every way.God bless you always
This is the fact,... Modern world Faith on fire people becoming Traditional and attending Traditional Latin Mass. My family is one of them when the Lord guide and lead me to know TLM. By attending and learning TLM, our Faith and reverence to Jesus grew stronger than ever before. And We're so blessed because GOD bring my Family to TLM 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for all your efforts to educate ignorants like me father Chris I’m going to pray for more priests who care for their flocks like you father Chris! Don’t ever give up on us.
I thank and praise my heavenly Father for the Life of this priest. Lord bless us with priests like him who are full of zeal for the truth and courageous enough to teach it to The Church. Long Live Fr. Chris, the Christ bearer. 🙏
Amen ! God has given us such an amazing gift of Father Chris for such a time as this. I thank God every day that He chose Father Chris and Father Chris said yes.
@@alwaysmisskaryn Absolutely 💯 I so concur with you. Blessings for You, Fr. Chris Alar, all the Marian Priest's, and Narian helpers - may God continue to work through these difficult times as we fervently keep his faith 🙏 ✝️🙏
Thank you❣️❣️❣️ , I was confused on second Vatican . You enlighten me with the truth . I am so grateful for you father Chris. May our Lord continue to inspire you with his Holy Spirit . Blessings 🙏🏻💖💞
I keep replaying this video. I’m learning so much from these talks. I fell in love with Christ during the Easter Vigil Mass in novis Ordo. I’ve only ever known this Mass my entire life and waiting to be able to live Latin Mass soon. Thank you Father Chris, we love you
Omgosh...everything Fr. Chris says is what our priest has been saying and putting in our bulletin to educate our parish. This is EXCELLENT! I grew up during Vatican II also. I so want things to go the way they were SUPPOSED to at Vatican II.
Father Chris I had to listen to this talk to day a few tines to absorb the powerful lesson . I humbly thank you and for all your Saturday talks for it has so helped me in increasing my faith i.. 🙏
@@TheMickey1892 God Bless you🙏- I am with you I must relisten many times and take notes as Fr. Chris is my professor of Theology ✝️🙏✝️ I know there was a reason God wanted him to be a Priest as he is truly one of his Best for this time we are facing - surrounded by so much evil. He is the light pulling us threw- as he states it is his job to get us to Heaven 🙏✝️🙏Blessings ❣️
I am curious regarding Mass intentions , specifically intentions for the living. I always thought Mass intentions were for the souls of our dearly departed brothers and sisters, not for a living person (especially for one who is not seriously ill). Has this practice been in existence for ages? Thanks in advance for any clarification.
Thank you, Fr Chris, it was quite an experience listening to you. The Holy Spirit, the advocate of truth, will guide us in the right path in the midst of all this turmoil. We just need to trust in God’s ways.
Okay,I go to Novus ordo, but I was raised with traditional catholics.As a child I was taught to genoflect and kneel to say my prayers before mass,complete silence, I can remember not speaking until we were outside or by the doors where the priests is after mass.during my first communion kneeling and receiving the eucharist on my tounge so,I still do. I strayed away for many many years. And then came back five years ago.I got confirmed along with my 72 year old father because he didn't want to do it alone at his age.My father God rest his soul,died this year.Ihavent changed I still do all those things I was taught to do,and always will.If you go to Novus ordo,be as reverent as they do at TLM. Many of our churches have closed Its very disheartening. But we have a serious lack of priest and a lack of attendance. I went to church in a different town today.And realized it was all people over 65.what will happen when those people are gone? There are not enough people. There is a church in my town I go to pray and it's such a beautiful place and Jesus is in the tabernacle. someone comes and tends to the candles. I'm going to visit him there tomorrow poor Jesus.
Father Alar I was born right after Vatican ll was closed. My whole life I have heard about everything that you can imagine on the subject. it has been on my mind for a long time to learn what it was really about. When this was posted I knew that this is what I have been waiting for. I must commend you on condensing such a large topic down to one and a half hours. Thanks for everyone's hard work and God Bless you.
Fr. Alar, I was blessed to hear your talk in person this morning. I appreciate you summarizing these important Church documents for us, and for always speaking truth lovingly yet boldly. “Well done good and faithful servant.” I’ve never heard the name Cardinal Albert Meyer. I’ll have to read more about him.
You were blessed to have not dealt with the tech problems this morning on the livestream. I have been fortunate to have heard two of his talks in person at the Shrine - I just love being there in person!
Wow! This was wonderful. I always enjoy Fr Alar's talks, but this was truly exceptional. I appreciate all the time, energy and love he puts into educating the laity. God bless us all.
Fr. Alar I want to thank you so much! I went from being a Rad Trad to a Glad Trad, from a TLM heretical chapel (after seeing all the children who fell away after 12 years of diocesan Catholic schools -including my own), to a beautiful TLM in my diocese and I give you and your talks all the credit. My husband &I have been learning from you for awhile now and you have brought us to our senses. Your talks on the TLM vs Novus Ordo are outstanding (and I have shared w my Rad Trad friends and i pray they watch), and so is this one about V2. May God continue to bless you and Mary keep you! Deo Gratias
Thank you so much Lori and God bless you and your husband! And thank you for sharing this important message of our church and faith. God bless you both
Wow, Father Chris really explained this in a deep and clear way. He says it's the longest talk he ever gave, but I wanted to hear all of his notes and I'm sure he can talk for another hour and a half. Please continue this topic Father Chris. Part 2, 3 and 4. I am learning so much.
Thank you Fr Chris for this informative talk . Got to know a few things never heard off. Praise Jesus for priests like you. I have learnt so much since I started watching explaining the faith series. Fr Chris continue with these talks so that we all around the world may learn more about our faith. God bless you
Thank you Fr. Chris for making this video. It is badly needed today to fix all he confusion that is floating around. We need reverence at Mass. Dress better, realize what receiving the Holy Eucharist means. Have the peace sign before Mass starts so no interruption. Hopefully, this clears the air.
Father Chris! Such an informative video!! You put your heart and soul into every talk! How passionate you are! Thank you for taking us Back to Seminary with you! FASCINATING! Just FASCINATING! God Bless you and all the Marians!!!
Oh Fr Chris you are a Lifeline ❤to all of us who love the Catholic Catechism and LOVE to learn more about our beautiful faith . Blessings be upon you dearest faithful of the Lord 🙌🏽
YES! I am a Millennial who has been defending the Second Vatican Council to my fellow Millennials for over a decade at this point for basically everything in this talk. I have also been defending the “old way” to the Boomers I encounter. This talk perfectly represents what I love about Fr. Chris; he is pragmatic without wavering from the truth. Fr. Chris is a skeptic first but once he has the truth is bold in proclaiming it. May God bless you, Father!
Father Chris . Thank you for explaining the documents of Vatican II. I have a better understanding of the truths and myths. Many thanks. 🙏 May God bless you. I enjoy all your talks. You’ve talk me so much. You’re in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🇦🇺
Dearest Father,you with this amazing teaching have open my eyes.I am a traditionalist accepting Vatican II.I converted from Tibetan Buddhism but the Lord guide me to tradition and the inspiration of our Pope Benedict XVI.I have lived tradition and I was ignorant about Vatican II and always thought it was planned to destroy the church.The results today..pachamama demond etc...all this are bad for not following what it is from the teachings of our Mother Church with terrible results.Thank you father I underestand better and see it now different.God bless you. always.
I have always taken for granted that what came out of Vatican 2 was Gospel. Unfortunately, my father passed away at the beginning of V-2 so I never knew how he felt about it. My father was a devout Catholic and made sure we went to Mass and stayed in a Catholic Parochial School while he was alive. I never questioned what came out of V-2 and I recall thinking how odd when they took away the marble Communion railing and suddenly I could hold Our Lord in the palm of my hands before giving myself HC. I see now how these things are wrong. Fortunately our parish has a priest who changed back a lot of things like he doesn’t face us anymore behind the Altar. He has been criticized a lot for these changes but the faithful continue to attend the Parish Church.
I miss that too! I never feel like I’m giving Jesus my full self. Seems it’s MUCH more difficult to get our spiritual things BACK… than how seemingly EASY it was to take them away! Children were given HAMMERS to destroy our beautiful statues!? How SICK is that?? No wonder they grow up confused & wondering which way to go?! If our own Leaders don’t know what THEY’RE doing, how can we expect children to figure it out by themselves? 😔 What a great explanation, Father Chris! You are certainly much loved & greatly appreciated by all who watch ur program!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your awesome “Explanation of the Faith” series! I’m constantly learning important things about our beautiful Catholic Faith/Church! Please, take good care of urself, Father Chris! We want to CONTINUE “Going back to Seminar” w/you! God bless & keep you safe & healthy!! 🙏
Our cathedral began allowing us to kneel down at the remaining altar rail to receive on the tongue with the paten. It started out with just a few people, but the line quickly grew over time as people felt the need to honor our Lord the way He was meant to be honored and revered. I was amazed at the number of young adults at that rail. Sadly, our bishop put an end to that practice with no explanation. It was a sad day and they wonder why the pews are not filled.
Still with you Father Alar. It has been one year since I came running home and threw myself back into the arms of The One True Apostolic Church after 37 years of doing it my own way. Still listening to Catholic Orthodoxy all day while I am off work. Love the channel and my life is 180° different from 13 months earlier; walking in a state of grace is beyond anything I have experienced thus far. Thanks be to God for this ministry. Velox Versutus Vigilans
Thank you Father Chris for this talk. This was a very educational and informative talk. Prayers for continued healing for you and your family. May God bless you, your mom and dad, and the rest of your family.
I learned more practical, interesting, sharable information about Vatican II than in a previous semester college class. Thank you for all the care and effort you put into this talk.
Thanks for reposting this. This version is smooth and doesn't skip. I'm glad the podcast also turned out well. I treat the podcast as a backup plan, but the repost allowed me to catch the visuals.
Thank you again for this wonderful talk. For so long I have heard conflicting comments about the good or bad outcome of Vatican II. Your teachings cleared much of my ignorance on this topic. Thank you father Alar. God bless.
God bless you Father Chris. Very interesting learning more about Vatican ll. Please continue to teach us all on our beautiful Catholicism. I enjoy your talks, no matter how long they are. God bless us all Amen ✝️ 🙏
Thank you Father. I appreciate your way of teaching the faith so I can understand it. I am a faithful Catholic and have only known the new mass but I do know it’s not about ME or how I feel about it. The mass is about worship to God and the sacrifice Jesus made and I am blessed to be able to receive my Lord and God. God bless you 🙏🏼.
I went to Catholic school for 12 years. Fr. Chris has taught me more than I learned over all those years. We had four years of Latin in high school but I never figured out how translating Ceasers commentaries on the Gallic Wars helped me understand liturgical Latin.
I am a 64 yo Catechumen. I waited till now after all me Scotch/Irish, Protestant family was gone to fulfill my calling since I was little. I'm eternally grateful to Fr. Alar, I'm learning so much about my beloved Church and I have 60 years to catch up to😊
Thank you Fr Chris for all your Talks. We learned a lot from you to know more about our faith. Praying for your good health Mom Dad Pam nephew and cousin Sandy. Sharing this very important talk to my friends. God bless you MIC and everyone 🙏❤️
God bless, keep you strong and healthy Father, so you can continue with your passion for Mother Mary and her son Jesus. Reading from the comments its heart warming to see how many Catholics are returning to their faith because of the education you provide that deals with so many obstacles well meaning Catholics have encountered and thus drifted away. Thank God for Divine Mercy that the door remains open for us prodigal children. You have no idea how your teachings are making a huge difference. Keep going Father. With much appreciation and gratitude. Praise God.
Fr. Chris always presents with alot of enthusiasm but I dont think I've ever seen him this passionate about a topic. This is great, I had heard all the lies and thought they were true. I also tried to sit through a talk by Bishop Barron to get clarity and it was all so over my head. Thanks for this, it makes perfect sense.
Fr. Great talk! I love hearing the truth and not the story that makes us feel good about what we think or the way we want something to be. God bless you and if anyone gives you too much trouble, let me know.
If anyone in the Catholic Church can teach the masses TRUTH…it is you, Fr. Chris! God be with you and all of us and continue to guide us. Amen I love this channel so much. I have brought you to my priest and requested a group who learn from you and stream your feed! Love-Pray-Love
Today Fr because I’ve worked at a catholic school I have Always felt that our children are not taught all you speak about and change or NOT needs to be taught. Our schools water everything down. Our children need to be taught everything you say
Fr Alar , thank you so much for your talk. Me and my husband loves you. God bless you with all blessings. You are helping to spread the Kingdom of God through whole world. Priests like you are going to win this battle under our Lady s mantle. Praise be to God 🙏
Thank Father Chris and God Bless you and your hard working efforts! I have such a greater understanding of this topic! Your explanations are clear concise and very helpful!
Thank you Father Chris, you are a Man of God. I have learned so much with these talks!!! I believe God is preparing us to respect more the Church and to believe more in Him. I will continue praying for you, for the Mariana Fathers and for all the people who listen your talks. May the Holy Spirit guide us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏 Fr Chris for this message! I am 45 and was born in the church era of confusion... ie implementation of Vatican II ONLY God can correct the Church now ... Immaculate Mary and St Joseph pray 🙏 for us Sacred Heart of Jesus Viva Cristo Rey!!!
Thank you Father Crhrist: Really appreciate this valious explanation of The Vatican II . As Catholics we have to Know our Faith to Love it and live it. God bless you always I keep you in my prayers.
Thank you so much Fr Chris. We thank God for using you to remind us of real teachings of the church. Kindly with all humble request, enlighten us on tithing.
Father, thank you for this instructive and timely talk. I'm currently discerning joining a Traditional Latin Mass church. I was a daily mass goer and even played music for masses. I have been struggling for about a year with what to do. I have completely lost my peace at mass. And, even found my music was part of the problem. During that time though, Jesus has shown me that those who truly believe in His real presence in the Holy Eucharistic are provided for in irreverent masses. Nevertheless, for me, I must go where I am lead. Jesus has also shown me that while the grass may be sweeter, it is not without its own pitfalls and brambles. So I go forth carefully and trust that Jesus, my Good Shepherd will pluck me to safety when necessary.
Thank you. I’m a convert from non denominational Charismatic. (2005). I appreciate the positive changes in the Church. I tried Latin Mass but found it frustrating and rigid. I like to read and pray in a language I speak and understand. I love Jesus and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. God bless you.
The thing to remember is that the liturgy is not a private act of worship. It is a public act. The Church uses the specific old Latin in the liturgy because it is the language reserved for worshipping God. The same is true even if you look at the Easter Orthodox. The subset of the Greek language used by the Greek Orthodox in their liturgy for an example, is not the usual Greek words you use everyday. It contains a subset that is reserved for worship. So the point of the liturgy is not for us to understand the words but offer our own prayers during that time. Since Calvary is present during the liturgy and the sacrifice of Christ is offered again to God the father, we too can join our thanksgiving and intentions during that time to the prayers of the priest. The long stretches of silence in the traditional liturgy is not there by some mistake. Once you understand this and put it into practice, the Novus Ordo starts to look like some thing else. At best, it feels like a worship session for children. At worst, it is a mess where the liturgy undermines or suppresses Catholic truths that were very visible in the traditional mass. Just look at the confiteor or the prayers right after the “Our Father” in the old vs. new. Anyway, give it another shot and remember that we want to conform ourselves to the right way of worship than find a manner worship that fits us.
@@eufrosniad994 I prayed on what to reply. I want what I say to be done in love with right spirit: The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost Acts: 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, BECAUSE EACH ONE HEARD THEIR OWN LANGUAGE BEING SPOKEN. (RSV) I do appreciate your love respect/reverence for the Mass, and I can understand your concern that it is conducted in the proper form. I had a life changing conversion where after seeing the horror of my sinful life I repented then I was baptized by the Holy Spirit in my home. The love of God was shed abroad in my heart! Jesus came to live inside of me and I became alive with His Presence. Hallelujah! made whole. I prayed to know truth. Then ,with much difficulty, anguish and uncertainty, I came into the Church. I was afraid that I was being deceived. It was and still is a difficult adjustment in so many ways. The present condition of the Church only adds to this anxiety. What I have seen and heard by most Traditionalist I don't agree with.i have many non-Catholic family and friends who love the Lord and know Him. I have two children in heaven also. What language and form did Jesus use at the last supper. and what was used for the first 400 years of the Church?thankfully in heaven there is no misunderstanding with language and verbiage. ( I do not understand the necessity for boys to wear lacy frocks either. :(. ) Middle Ages. We need a renewal; an outpouring of the Holy Spirit where our hearts are changed and unity can be restored. Ask for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. "Ask and you will receive that your joy may be made full"
@@eufrosniad994 Good points, I'll counter that extraordinary form isn't precisely the right form of worship. I appreciate your dedication to the Latin mass and disagree with your remarks on the Novus Ordo. "Worship for children" isn't accurate at all. There are parishes that execute worship extremely well. I am blessed to attend one of them, Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, in Waterbury, CT. Some people need to think black and white about things; I am able to appreciate celebration at my parish and the parish 2 miles away that celebrates solely the extraordinary form. People travel from all over the state to attend mass and be parishioners of our basilica. Thousands at every Sunday celebration. I am extremely disheartened by the limits put on Latin mass. Mass of the Ages documentary really helped me appreciate the Latin mass. This all being said, the Latin mass needs to be more widely celebrated for the good of our Church. Blessings.
St. Paul, pray for us.
St. Peter, pray for us.
St. Michael, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Padre Pio, pray for us.
I’m trying to understand how dead saints can pray for you? Can you please point to scripture that indicates this prayer ritual? I’m not being sarcastic I’m trying to understand this. It’s all of the praying to Saints or for saints to intercede. Including Mary but as much as I’ve read I cannot see where any are still living or sitting next to God, well except Moses and Enoch, that we should pray to them or ask that they pray for us. Please help me.
I attended 12 years of parochial school but never understood my faith like I can gather by listening to Father Chris . Thank you for all of your passion and instruction .
Thank you so much for joining us and God bless you
So if priest or bishop is doing things not in Vatican 2, then why he doesn’t receive a discipline even if it’s minor like moving the tabernacle

Yes For Chris,filled in what 8 yrs of Cath school,just the last 5 years have I begun to understand the church.
Fr Chris is a great Catechist, passionate (zeal) and fully devoted to Christ and his Church. I wish all parish priests were like him, but life is not perfect. We’re blessed to have Fr Chris.🙏
Fantastic video Fr. Alar! I was 11 in 1962, went to Catholic school, sang in the choir at the Latin Mass. Everything you said about the times back then was not only informative but powerful. My parents, aunts & uncles would sit around the kitchen table discussing Vatican 2. I remember, I never did accept what came out of it. You have just given me all the answers to all the questions I have had these past 60 years. I love Holy Mother Church, and what she has gone through in my lifetime has broken my heart. I thank God for Priests like you. You are in my prayers Father Chris, as well as your congregation. Peace and Love to you all.
Thank you Diane and God bless you and thank you for taking the time to watch
@Preborn Pope yes I have read it. Prayers are needed
Father Chris is a blessing and a gift from God to us here.
@@DivineMercy_Official excellent as always thankyou Father Alar ♥🙏
I’m 62, and remember much the same.
I returned to the church through the Latin Mass. I love the reverence and quietness.
@bluschke52. I couldn't agree with you more!! The traditional Latin mass is where heaven meets earth🙏
@@danacaro-herman3530heaven meets earth in every Catholic Mass. All masses grant the same grace.
@@QBlessed93 I go to both masses, much more graces flow from the traditional mass, I'm sorry.
I entered religious life in the 70's it was confusing and everything became political. After 8 years I left the convent and the church.
I spent 20 years as a Tibetan Buddhist and found my way back to the TLM with the help Our Lady and a holy priest.
That’s interesting. I too left the Church in my early adulthood. Practiced Buddhism (Theravada) and then returned to the church. And I also have more traditional leanings. Just thought I’d share since we have similar experiences.
God bless you.
Vivat Jesus.
Thank you Jesus for the gift of Fr Chris Alar protect him from every evil design 🙏Amen
Amen 🙏
Thank you and God bless you
This is my fifth time watching and listening to this video. Thank you Father Alar, well explained the Vatican 2. I love my Catholic faith! 🙏🙏
Lord , hear our prayer.
Amen, I’ll be 73 in 2 days and because of father Alar, I’m learning more about my faith than I’ve known all my life. God Bless Father Alar and keep him safe !
I went through 16 years of Catholic education. I had absolutely no love of my faith. I hated going to the novus ordo Mass. During COVID, I found the Traditional Latin Mass and suddenly I found myself in love with the Mass. I even went back to confession after 40 years, because the TLM makes it so clear that the Eucharist is the body of Christ. Prior to that, at novus ordo, I would think nothing of receiving the Eucharist with mortal sins on my soul. Traditional Latin Mass is our birthright and we were screwed out of it. I even moved my house to be near the church where TLM is available.
I think you are still missing the point. As Father Alar says, it's not the Vatican II council's fault. Novus Ordo is beautiful if done correctly. You were apparently in a parish with problems. Don't blame the Novus Ordo. Blame how it was done.
I was bored Catholic, However I search for truth in all other penticostal churches but l cannot find peace and satisfaction in my life so I have to returned to my own orign Catholic church where my grandmother thought me all the common prayers especially Rossary prayers now I,m satisfied with your Website explanation,Fr.Alar, congratulations to you from PNG you Website watchers
@@markross3346 Exactly! Well said Mark💯
The progressive takeover of the Church was coincidentally going on at the same time as and decades after Vatican II occurred. It was not the council itself that was bad, but the progressive opportunists inside the Church and the passive Bishops around the world who allowed these people to implement the destructive changes we've seen in the decades following Vatican II who are to blame.
Beautiful! To understand the truth! The one true church! So many fall short!
🙏🙏🙏🙏 For them! Only by the grace of God! ❤❤❤
@markross3346 the most beautiful NO Mass falls disastrously short of the TLM
Fr. Chris, you are a HUGE reason for my conversion and return to the Church after having been away for 30 years! I found the Devine Mercy channel and can’t get enough of your message. I went to confession recently and unloaded 30 years of sinning on my parish Priest and it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me when he absolved and blessed me! I even joined the Marian Helpers. Thank you for your ministry and may God bless you and all good Priests for your work for His Church and your flocks.
Wow , that is awesome ! Thank you so much for being open to God's grace!
@@DivineMercy_Official😊g
Same!! Fr. Chris is bringing many of us back home 🙏 God bless you
I have been to the Latin Mass. I love the serenity, the chanting and the reverence.
What I found missing was the community that I always get a sense of when I read the Book of Acts. When the priest is facing away from the congregation atnd you cannot hear what he is saying, and it is more difficult to follow along ( hence the bells), I felt like I was observing rayher than participating. When the priest is facing the congregation on the other side of the table, and you can hear, see and participate in what is going on, I feel as if that is the priest acting in persona Christe and we are at the table with him as at the Last Supper- communing with the Lord. That is what I found missing in the Latin Mass.
I am a "cradle Catholic" who was vrry lost for a number of years, married a man who was raised Southern Baptist. His part of our spiritual journey led him eventually to Catholicism, which after a year of serious prayer ( and a lot of initial resistance in my heart) followed him.
Now we teach a Catholic Catechism class on Sunday mornings before 11 am Mass. We have been doing this now for going ito our 3rd year, and we haven't even gotten a 1/4 of the ay through the book. Our biggest complaint is that there are so many things that Catholics do not know about their faith, ( no meat on Friday being one of those).and they never hear about it from the pulpit.
This has become too long winded,and that was not my intent. Thank you Father Chris, I found this video when my husband and I were discussing some of these very things!
Thank you so much. I used to think that my parents didn't understand the teachings of Vatican II when they would tell me that what I was being taught at Catholic school was wrong. Consequently my sister and I belonged to our folk group, I played the guitar at Mass, I belonged to a neo-progressive religious order that didn't wear a habit and bucked against the Magisterium. This talk was a BIG DEAL for me! I am a glad Trad now as you call it, and every year I grow more conservative. I am now a member of Regnum Christi and wear the mantilla at every Mass. Amen!
BTW thanks for reposting. I thought my internet was going down
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
@@DivineMercy_Official fr Chris,, could you make a video someday of maria valtorta , and the poem of man god ,,,
Well I played the devils music on my guitar in the Bars & Honky Tonks on Saturday night and on Sunday morning I was at Mass. Go figure?
When abuses occur, the higher-ups will say it shouldn't be occurring, that it isn't in Vatican II, but often nothing gets done.
But when it is in Vatican II the mass is to be said in Latin it's ignored just as they ignore past Council decrees.
I started going to a traditional Latin Mass a couple years ago after a lifetime at the Novus Ordo. I can honestly say that I am now more engaged in the mass than I've ever been... and yet I spend almost the whole mass with my mouth shut. That is amazing. The fact that I'm not constantly praying out loud, singing, responding, shaking hands, etc. allows me to really focus on Jesus, pray and read the prayers of the mass in my missal. And that is the other misconception. People say the Novus Ordo was meant for more "active conscious participation of the laity." If you're following along in the Latin/English missal, you are actually participating more than you ever would in the Novus Ordo. You can follow along with every prayer the priest says, whether they're out loud or quiet - something you cannot do in the Novus Ordo. And the sheer reverence and depth of the prayers in the Latin Mass are humbling. The Latin mass ministers to God - it is meant to please God. It faces God and focuses on God. The Novus Ordo ministers to us. It focuses on us. It is meant to please us.
Thank-you well said🙏❤
Thank You Father Chris
I’m praying that the Latin Mass will be brought back
I grew up with it
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please keep us in your prayers

Thankyou Fr Chris for being so passionate about bringing unity to church unlike some who are determined to break it up through their own pride. You are true to the Gospel and may God bless you and your work.
You are so right! Fr Chris is a uniter who brings us together in the trueness of the Faith. God bless you, Elizabeth! 🙏
Thank you so much Elizabeth and God bless you!
Umm who are you referring to? The whole post conciliar direction was a joyride of prideful euphoria that no one has owned up to. And now, a divisive Pope determined to drive wedges. It's a betrayal. I will now listen to the rest of Fr Alars talk - it's quite long 😂
Fr. Chris you are trully Christs soldier. Thank you for the hard work you do to educate us. I am praying for you and that we here have priests that are like you, striving for holiness and are hard workers. God bless you!
Thank you John and God bless you. We appreciate you being part of our Marian family
Thanks Fr. Chris and all of the Marians.
I was confirmed at a novus ordo Easter Vigil, it was an amazing experience. I can't even begin to describe the joy and pure love I felt. It felt like the Holy Spirit was giving me just a taste of the joy of Heaven. In fact, all of holy week for me was profound.
As far as a nuns habit, I feel that there is a silent but really dignified beauty in seeing a nun in her habit.
Amen 🙏
I believe i thnk..i just felt that 1962 felt wrong.i was a nun.i was devout.i felt safe..then.. destruction.

Welcome Home!
I grew up and raised in a Catholic setting, private school, Catholic nuns, everyone around me was Catholic being fr the Philippines. When I migrated here settled in San Francisco converted to a Protestant Church thought all was the same. Became a non practicing Catholic; my friend a Catholic priest said he was not wp¹orried, said I will eventually return to the true Church. True enough, Fr. Tony had passed was not around when I have returned and have a new thirst for my faith and desire to serve Jesus. I love my Savior and His holy Mother. Thank you Fr.

You did it again. Most comprehensive video on Vatican II that needs to be seen by all Catholic and Christians. Thank you and Bless you Fr. Chris
Father, as I was born in 1940, when I am deprived of access to Latin Mass, I have to attend the N.O. I follow my original Missal and find it amazing how much of the original prayers are omitted. What is left of the Canon? Prayers of preparation at the foot of the altar? Quiet time to kneel after Holy Communion and pray thanksgiving? The Leontine prayers at the end of Mass for the protection of the Church? Please look into this Father. Thank you for what you are doing Father. It is wonderful you are seeing the damage and pulling it together.
Sadly, it’s reasonable to say the viewers of this show, do not read or study the bible for themselves. When Jesus returns, we will all be held accountable for our own salvation. You call this preacher FATHER. it says in scripture that God is a jealous God, Our very own teacher, Jesus said to pray like him, starting our Father in heaven hallowed be thy name. I don’t think Jesus was praying to father Chris, he wanted us to have a personal line to God the father there are good bible teachers on you tube, you need to discern these preachers and ask Jesus to guide you to the truth. This kind of teaching does nothing to help your spiritual growth, this is like child Sunday school ask Jesus to give you his Holy Spirit that you can grow
@@tinaari88I'm glad you believe in Jesus! He founded a Church to save souls! That is the Catholic Church. You can find the actual real living Jesus in our Church. His Body, Blood Soul and Divinity is in the Holy Eucharist and you can come visit Him. God bless you!

Father Chris, what an appropriate title for your talk today as we thought Satan was interfering with the broadcast of this lifestream. I remember you telling us that one of Satan‘s greatest tools is confusion and boy, are we living in a world of confusion today. Thank you for giving us clarity when other priests fall short. Sadly, our secular society today rejects any type of authority. Thank you also for reminding us that while the discipline of the church can be changed, truth and morals cannot.
Fr Chris, we all recognize that you put your heart and soul into every presentation you give us. I pray that one day we ALL can have the same zeal about our beautiful Catholic faith as you do. 🙏
Tanya I totally agree with you . Well said to the point.
Thank you for sticking with us Tanya God bless you!
12:26am. Fr Alar I know that you make thorough research and review of the Seminary studies you had. I admire you and all your talks. They clarify a lot of questions I have about my Faith and the Catholic Church. Your presentations are so bold and sincere. I pray that there would be more priests like you. You are so accurate when you say the Church is losing a lot of its followers and this is so true. I tell my family, relatives and friends to listen to your talks so they can be enlighten also.

He is the light pulling us threw- as he states it is his job to get us to Heaven 🙏✝️🙏Blessings ❣️
I am curious regarding Mass intentions , specifically intentions for the living. I always thought Mass intentions were for the souls of our dearly departed brothers and sisters, not for a living person (especially for one who is not seriously ill). Has this practice been in existence for ages? Thanks in advance for any clarification.
Thank you, Fr Chris, it was quite an experience listening to you.
The Holy Spirit, the advocate of truth, will guide us in the right path in the midst of all this turmoil. We just need to trust in God’s ways.

Okay,I go to Novus ordo, but I was raised with traditional catholics.As a child I was taught to genoflect and kneel to say my prayers before mass,complete silence, I can remember not speaking until we were outside or by the doors where the priests is after mass.during my first communion kneeling and receiving the eucharist on my tounge so,I still do. I strayed away for many many years. And then came back five years ago.I got confirmed along with my 72 year old father because he didn't want to do it alone at his age.My father God rest his soul,died this year.Ihavent changed I still do all those things I was taught to do,and always will.If you go to Novus ordo,be as reverent as they do at TLM. Many of our churches have closed Its very disheartening. But we have a serious lack of priest and a lack of attendance. I went to church in a different town today.And realized it was all people over 65.what will happen when those people are gone? There are not enough people. There is a church in my town I go to pray and it's such a beautiful place and Jesus is in the tabernacle. someone comes and tends to the candles. I'm going to visit him there tomorrow poor Jesus.

Father Alar I was born right after Vatican ll was closed. My whole life I have heard about everything that you can imagine on the subject. it has been on my mind for a long time to learn what it was really about. When this was posted I knew that this is what I have been waiting for. I must commend you on condensing such a large topic down to one and a half hours. Thanks for everyone's hard work and God Bless you.
Thank you Andy for understanding why it had to be a bit long. God bless you
Fr. Alar, I was blessed to hear your talk in person this morning. I appreciate you summarizing these important Church documents for us, and for always speaking truth lovingly yet boldly. “Well done good and faithful servant.”
I’ve never heard the name Cardinal Albert Meyer. I’ll have to read more about him.
You were blessed to have not dealt with the tech problems this morning on the livestream. I have been fortunate to have heard two of his talks in person at the Shrine - I just love being there in person!
Thank you Fr. Chris for teaching us about Vatican II. May God Bless You.
Wow! This was wonderful. I always enjoy Fr Alar's talks, but this was truly exceptional. I appreciate all the time, energy and love he puts into educating the laity. God bless us all.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and God bless you
Fr. Alar I want to thank you so much! I went from being a Rad Trad to a Glad Trad, from a TLM heretical chapel (after seeing all the children who fell away after 12 years of diocesan Catholic schools -including my own), to a beautiful TLM in my diocese and I give you and your talks all the credit. My husband &I have been learning from you for awhile now and you have brought us to our senses. Your talks on the TLM vs Novus Ordo are outstanding (and I have shared w my Rad Trad friends and i pray they watch), and so is this one about V2. May God continue to bless you and Mary keep you! Deo Gratias
Thank you so much Lori and God bless you and your husband! And thank you for sharing this important message of our church and faith. God bless you both
Wow, Father Chris really explained this in a deep and clear way. He says it's the longest talk he ever gave, but I wanted to hear all of his notes and I'm sure he can talk for another hour and a half. Please continue this topic Father Chris. Part 2, 3 and 4. I am learning so much.

Thank you Fr. Chris for making this video. It is badly needed today to fix all he confusion that is floating around. We need reverence at Mass. Dress better, realize what receiving the Holy Eucharist means. Have the peace sign before Mass starts so no interruption. Hopefully, this clears the air.
Another brave, bold, loving and caring lesson. Thank you and God Bless you Fr. Chris.

YES! I am a Millennial who has been defending the Second Vatican Council to my fellow Millennials for over a decade at this point for basically everything in this talk. I have also been defending the “old way” to the Boomers I encounter. This talk perfectly represents what I love about Fr. Chris; he is pragmatic without wavering from the truth. Fr. Chris is a skeptic first but once he has the truth is bold in proclaiming it. May God bless you, Father!

Thank you so much Father Chris, I pray for you, God bless you in your very important mission in this World! 🙏🌿🕊🌿🙏
Thanks Father Alar. I really miss the altar rail and kneeling to receive communion. I was 19 in 1962. 📿🙏🏻
I have always taken for granted that what came out of Vatican 2 was Gospel. Unfortunately, my father passed away at the beginning of V-2 so I never knew how he felt about it. My father was a devout Catholic and made sure we went to Mass and stayed in a Catholic Parochial School while he was alive. I never questioned what came out of V-2 and I recall thinking how odd when they took away the marble Communion railing and suddenly I could hold Our Lord in the palm of my hands before giving myself HC. I see now how these things are wrong. Fortunately our parish has a priest who changed back a lot of things like he doesn’t face us anymore behind the Altar. He has been criticized a lot for these changes but the faithful continue to attend the Parish Church.
@gail4721
Me too--and the use of patens.
I was 4 in 1962.
You can always still kneel
I miss that too! I never feel like I’m giving Jesus my full self. Seems it’s MUCH more difficult to get our spiritual things BACK… than how seemingly EASY it was to take them away!
Children were given HAMMERS to destroy our beautiful statues!? How SICK is that??
No wonder they grow up confused & wondering which way to go?! If our own Leaders don’t know what THEY’RE doing, how can we expect children to figure it out by themselves? 😔
What a great explanation, Father Chris! You are certainly much loved & greatly appreciated by all who watch ur program!!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your awesome “Explanation of the Faith” series!
I’m constantly learning important things about our beautiful Catholic Faith/Church!
Please, take good care of urself, Father Chris! We want to CONTINUE “Going back to Seminar” w/you! God bless & keep you safe & healthy!! 🙏
Our cathedral began allowing us to kneel down at the remaining altar rail to receive on the tongue with the paten. It started out with just a few people, but the line quickly grew over time as people felt the need to honor our Lord the way He was meant to be honored and revered. I was amazed at the number of young adults at that rail. Sadly, our bishop put an end to that practice with no explanation. It was a sad day and they wonder why the pews are not filled.
Still with you Father Alar. It has been one year since I came running home and threw myself back into the arms of The One True Apostolic Church after 37 years of doing it my own way. Still listening to Catholic Orthodoxy all day while I am off work. Love the channel and my life is 180° different from 13 months earlier; walking in a state of grace is beyond anything I have experienced thus far. Thanks be to God for this ministry.

Thank you again for this wonderful talk. For so long I have heard conflicting comments about the good or bad outcome of Vatican II. Your teachings cleared much of my ignorance on this topic. Thank you father Alar. God bless.
God Bless you Father for doing explaining the faith and bring people back to the Lord's house.
Thank You father Chris for your teaching many Blessings!🙏🏽🙏🏽!
Truth be told Dear Fr. You speak Holy Truth!! Thank you for this great clarification!! 🙏❤️
God bless you Father Chris. Very interesting learning more about Vatican ll. Please continue to teach us all on our beautiful Catholicism. I enjoy your talks, no matter how long they are. God bless us all Amen ✝️ 🙏
Thank you Sue for being willing to be an active Learner in your faith!
Thank you Father. I appreciate your way of teaching the faith so I can understand it. I am a faithful Catholic and have only known the new mass but I do know it’s not about ME or how I feel about it. The mass is about worship to God and the sacrifice Jesus made and I am blessed to be able to receive my Lord and God. God bless you 🙏🏼.
I went to Catholic school for 12 years. Fr. Chris has taught me more than I learned over all those years. We had four years of Latin in high school but I never figured out how translating Ceasers commentaries on the Gallic Wars helped me understand liturgical Latin.

I am a 64 yo Catechumen. I waited till now after all me Scotch/Irish, Protestant family was gone to fulfill my calling since I was little. I'm eternally grateful to Fr. Alar, I'm learning so much about my beloved Church and I have 60 years to catch up to😊
Wow, God bless you for being open to God's grace!
Thank you Fr Chris for all your Talks. We learned a lot from you to know more about our faith. Praying for your good health Mom Dad Pam nephew and cousin Sandy. Sharing this very important talk to my friends. God bless you MIC and everyone 🙏❤️
Thank you florian, it's great to see you again!
God bless, keep you strong and healthy Father, so you can continue with your passion for Mother Mary and her son Jesus. Reading from the comments its heart warming to see how many Catholics are returning to their faith because of the education you provide that deals with so many obstacles well meaning Catholics have encountered and thus drifted away. Thank God for Divine Mercy that the door remains open for us prodigal children. You have no idea how your teachings are making a huge difference. Keep going Father. With much appreciation and gratitude. Praise God.
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for courageously explaining Vatican II. May God bless & protect you in your ministry. God bless the Marians.
Fr. Chris always presents with alot of enthusiasm but I dont think I've ever seen him this passionate about a topic. This is great, I had heard all the lies and thought they were true. I also tried to sit through a talk by Bishop Barron to get clarity and it was all so over my head. Thanks for this, it makes perfect sense.
Excellent! God bless and protect Fr Chris. Priests like him sustain my Faith.
Too bad there are not more like him! We must pray for more holy and reverent priests like Fr Chris. 🙏
Fr. Great talk! I love hearing the truth and not the story that makes us feel good about what we think or the way we want something to be. God bless you and if anyone gives you too much trouble, let me know.
Blessings 🙏✝️🙏 I loved your comment ❤️ Fr. Chris is truly a Blessing from God. His teachings are bringing us all closer to our faith in God 🙏✝️🙏
This is the most balanced view; thank you father!

Thank you for this. I do wish the priests would turn around and face our Lord during Mass.
Today
Fr because I’ve worked at a catholic school I have Always felt that our children are not taught all you speak about and change or NOT needs to be taught. Our schools water everything down. Our children need to be taught everything you say

Thank you so much Fr Chris. We thank God for using you to remind us of real teachings of the church. Kindly with all humble request, enlighten us on tithing.
Wow, thank you father! What a brilliant presentation! Well done father! 👍🏻👏🏻♥️ 🇵🇭
Father, thank you for this instructive and timely talk. I'm currently discerning joining a Traditional Latin Mass church. I was a daily mass goer and even played music for masses. I have been struggling for about a year with what to do. I have completely lost my peace at mass. And, even found my music was part of the problem.
During that time though, Jesus has shown me that those who truly believe in His real presence in the Holy Eucharistic are provided for in irreverent masses.
Nevertheless, for me, I must go where I am lead. Jesus has also shown me that while the grass may be sweeter, it is not without its own pitfalls and brambles.
So I go forth carefully and trust that Jesus, my Good Shepherd will pluck me to safety when necessary.
Thank you Fr Chris, I have a better understanding now of what happened after Vatican II
Thank you. I’m a convert from non denominational Charismatic. (2005). I appreciate the positive changes in the Church. I tried Latin Mass but found it frustrating and rigid. I like to read and pray in a language I speak and understand. I love Jesus and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. God bless you.
The thing to remember is that the liturgy is not a private act of worship. It is a public act. The Church uses the specific old Latin in the liturgy because it is the language reserved for worshipping God. The same is true even if you look at the Easter Orthodox. The subset of the Greek language used by the Greek Orthodox in their liturgy for an example, is not the usual Greek words you use everyday. It contains a subset that is reserved for worship.
So the point of the liturgy is not for us to understand the words but offer our own prayers during that time. Since Calvary is present during the liturgy and the sacrifice of Christ is offered again to God the father, we too can join our thanksgiving and intentions during that time to the prayers of the priest. The long stretches of silence in the traditional liturgy is not there by some mistake. Once you understand this and put it into practice, the Novus Ordo starts to look like some thing else. At best, it feels like a worship session for children. At worst, it is a mess where the liturgy undermines or suppresses Catholic truths that were very visible in the traditional mass. Just look at the confiteor or the prayers right after the “Our Father” in the old vs. new.
Anyway, give it another shot and remember that we want to conform ourselves to the right way of worship than find a manner worship that fits us.

I prayed on what to reply. I want what I say to be done in love with right spirit:
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
Acts:
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, BECAUSE EACH ONE HEARD THEIR OWN LANGUAGE BEING SPOKEN. (RSV)
I do appreciate your love respect/reverence for the Mass, and I can understand your concern that it is conducted in the proper form.
I had a life changing conversion where after seeing the horror of my sinful life I repented then I was baptized by the Holy Spirit in my home. The love of God was shed abroad in my heart! Jesus came to live inside of me and I became alive with His Presence. Hallelujah! made whole.
I prayed to know truth. Then ,with much difficulty, anguish and uncertainty, I came into the Church. I was afraid that I was being deceived. It was and still is a difficult adjustment in so many ways. The present condition of the Church only adds to this anxiety.
What I have seen and heard by most Traditionalist I don't agree with.i have many non-Catholic family and friends who love the Lord and know Him. I have two children in heaven also.
What language and form did Jesus use at the last supper. and what was used for the first 400 years of the Church?thankfully in heaven there is no misunderstanding with language and verbiage. ( I do not understand the necessity for boys to wear lacy frocks either. :(. ) Middle Ages. We need a renewal; an outpouring of the Holy Spirit where our hearts are changed and unity can be restored. Ask for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. "Ask and you will receive that your joy may be made full"
@@eufrosniad994 Good points, I'll counter that extraordinary form isn't precisely the right form of worship. I appreciate your dedication to the Latin mass and disagree with your remarks on the Novus Ordo. "Worship for children" isn't accurate at all. There are parishes that execute worship extremely well. I am blessed to attend one of them, Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, in Waterbury, CT. Some people need to think black and white about things; I am able to appreciate celebration at my parish and the parish 2 miles away that celebrates solely the extraordinary form. People travel from all over the state to attend mass and be parishioners of our basilica. Thousands at every Sunday celebration. I am extremely disheartened by the limits put on Latin mass. Mass of the Ages documentary really helped me appreciate the Latin mass. This all being said, the Latin mass needs to be more widely celebrated for the good of our Church. Blessings.
