Im in Florida, where we had almost 30 thousand cases of covid in one day….thank you for being there for us, Father Dave. I can still practice my religion at home.
Please keep my adult daughter, Shelly in prayer. (4 children & loving husband)…She’s in critical condition…literally died 5 times in a day, but was brought back by the Doctors. They put her in both a medically induced coma and paralyzed her…she’s coming out tomorrow, and pray she’ll be able to open her eyes. I’m praying for a Christmas Miracle…please pray for her and her family…God bless you…& keep you in the palm of His hand. Merry Christmas ❤️
Hi Fr Dave, I’m alone in my hotel room listening to your Mass. wherever I travel I know you are within reach, like the father son and Holy Ghost. THankyou for spreading the good word. Merry Christmas to you and craigley and the ladies. Here’s to a healthy 2022
Thank You Fr. Dave. I have been sick so much this year "not covid" and I'm sick again and can't go to my favorite Mass of the year. Merry Christmas to you those in your church and to Cragley, and also every one that watches here on You Tube.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. I'm sick as well and it's hard to get out to church and to be among others. Just got home from 2nd opinion testing and have to go back this coming week to get 2nd opinion results and more testing and hope for a better battle plan . I'll be praying for you and that your health gets better as well through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for all you do! We are so great-full for your masses. Please pray for my wife who has stage 4 cancer. Your mass really enlightens our day. God bless you and Cragly.
Thank you so much Fr. Dave, my cousin who goes to St. Martha's church living in Jersey and the love they have for your sermon/ mass. I reside in Dutchess County, when all churches were closed and she introduced her church to me...I have been so greatful and makes my day as I watch and listen with an open heart and so appreciate it more than you know~🙏~thank you. Here's to a beautiful New Year, clarity and good health 2022
Hello Father Dave and hello to everybody that was watching this Mass today. Another amazing explanation of the scriptures and you're good cheer that is infectious for everybody I'm sure who watches this Mass. I think this mass is very important and I am pretty sure that this happened in response to covid, but perhaps it is one of those things that was meant to be and hopefully can last longer. It has helped me immensely, I go back to explaining that I have been a Catholic my whole life I went to a Catholic elementary school and Junior high and received the sacraments that I was eligible for receiving. However, I get more out of this mass than I do from previous churches that I have attended and it all just clicks for me. So Merry Christmas to everybody watching this and God bless you Father Dave. You certainly have a gift...
Father Dave - we were so excited when we saw the notice that you had posted the Christmas Eve Mass. Our youngest daughter was with us for the streaming and it was awesome for her to receive your Blessings. She came up to visit today as she is an RN and will work a full shift on Christmas. Please keep her and all healthcare workers in your prayers as they deal with the Omicron wave. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you, Jess, and Diane for your continued devotion to bring the Mass to your “online parish”.
Sure thing John. I have 2 nurses, a radiology tech, and an OT in my family. . .and I go to the hospital myself to anoint the sick. God bless her and all her coworkers and caregivers.
Thank you so much, Father Dave, Diane and Jess. Happy Christmas from London, England. Thank you for the extra time and effort you set aside each week to bring these Masses to us. I really appreciate it. Even though I returned to my parish church many months ago, I still check in for the whole Mass. I blame Cragley. Seriously, you pack a punch with each week's homily, but also with the extra bits of education along the way. I've learned about incense today. God bless. xx
Thanks Krista. Merry Christmas to you across the pond.Godnkeep your family safe. It's 2am here East coast time. We finished midnight mass and am going to sleep.Cragly got extra treats
Merry Christmas Fr. Dave, and all your family and congregation. Thanks for the encouraging words about our beloved pets coming to greet us when we get to heaven. Wellok forwardto seeing Vladimir and Puddy and all our parakeets again. God bless and Wesolych Swiant to our fellow Swantek! The Doucette-Swiontek's Louisville KY.
I thought about this yesterday. I watched a show “Vicky and her Mystery “. A little girl raised and loved a wolf pup. She, well I won’t spoil it just in case anyone wants to watch. I had a white German Shepherd that was my best friend and more. I really miss her after ten years.
God Bless you Father Dave, what a special mass for this holly day, I was unable to be with my daughter and husband and grand daughter today because of the Covid disease, and because I live alone your Christmas mass brought me so much happiest and peace, thank you.
Thank you for uplifting masses on line all year long. You are inspiring and joy is lovely! What a wonderful Christmas present all Advent to hear your mass! Peace and love this Christmas time and enjoy the time with your black doggie! I hope you get lots of homemade cookies, both of you! From my family to yours, Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas! Best, Millie Fischer and the Fischer Children!
Merry Christmas Father Dave. We love you and your masses. We are grateful you continue to do this for us all. We look forward to it!! May God bless you and yours
Thank you Father Dave for your creative combination of the scripture and humor. Today's sermon resonated deeply with me and provided clarity during a difficult time. God bless you, Diane, Jess, Cragley, and all the fellow parishioners! Lisa
Fr. Dave - inspiring words on this most glorious day. I pray that the good Lord continues to give you, Diane, and Jess the strength to continue this WONDERFUL ministry. I commit to being more tender not only today but every day forward. The music ministry was great ! You continue to ROCK ! Joyous Christmas to you and your family. Bernie
Best Christmas gift EVER….loved every minute of your Christmas mass….but that isn’t unusual!!! Thanks to all of you…don’t know what we would do without you all in our world. God bless and Merry Christmas!
I am sorry that this comes a day late. Merry Christmas and blessings of the newborn Jesus be upon you, Father Dave, Jess, and Diane. Oh, and Cragley too. We love attending your Mass and feel enriched by your homilies. You rule, Father Dave!
Joy of joys to wake up & find the best Christmas gift of all, a beautiful Christmas Mass. Thanks Fr D! A joyous, safe & peaceful Christmas to you & all at St Martha's. Big Christmas lunch leftovers for Cragly🙏🍖♥️
Thank you Father Dave and all for this great joyous Mass. I was just about dancing to "Joy to the World" by the end of it! Thank you Holy Spirit for inspiring Father Dave, to the wonderful homily, All of us, and the world, needed it. Thank you all for the wonderful music as well. And Especially to the professional woman singer who shares her tremendously tender and beautiful voice with us . Such healing comes through her voice. Wishing you all a happy 2nd day of Christmas, and all the days in between celebrated with joy, until Epiphany. God's richest blessings of His joy and abundance remain in your hearts now and throughout the next coming year. Peace to you all.
Merry Christmas to you, Fr. Dave and the St. Martha's family along with all of our on line family, and of course, Cragly. My hubby & I are sick with possibly covid but haven't gotten our results. So we'll have a quiet day here by ourselves. Mass was wonderful as always and we appreciate all the work that goes into it. Ho ho ho to you all!
@@FatherDave Thank you so much. My huband is positive and we have all the supplements and the power of prayer. And our critters are taking good care of us. Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Father. Thank you for being here (there) for all of us. I wanted to share with you that I read the 24 chapters of Luke. Because I Pray my Rosary (not as often as I should) I identified the books to the mysteries. Reading these chapters inspired me in a truly remarkable way. Thank you again for all you do.
Thank you Father Dave. You are eternally blessed by our Lord and I offer mine to you. I’m truly grateful for your generosity and efforts to share your translation of holy scripture given to us. I always look forward to Mass with you and the ladies that volunteer their assistance to help those of us not able to physically attend. Please continue as your audience truly loves y’all and the inclusion in the simplicity of these Masses. May God bless you and the continual welcome of puppy breath and excitement.
Merry Christmas Fr. Dave, Jess and Diane.....and the Word was made Flesh! Thank you for bringing the new born King to our home here in Bethlehem PA.....your homily was fantastic, and your humor brings us even closer to the Word. May God bless you this Christmas and keep you in the palm of His hand. Joy to the World! Your church looks beautiful. Peace, Madeline
I enjoyed both the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses, thank you, Father Dave. A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and whom who listen to your Masses !!!
Thanks so much Fr. Dave and all your staff for this beautiful Mass. I’ve been watching you weekly for a year now and am so grateful and so happy with the levity and joy you bring to what is invisible but essential. I love that you are so down to earth yet inspiring. Merry Christmas to you and Craggly too.
Thank you Father Dave, Diane and Jess…and Cragly!!!🥰 Merry Christmas to y’all too! You made me cry, Father! (Seeing you get teary eyed,talking about Cragly…just proves you have a beautiful heart!) We love her too! Thank you for including her in your videos! God bless y’all!
I watched the Masses out of order , but I wanted to thank you for your heart felt words. I was at Mass at my home parish yesterday and there was less then forty people in attendance. Our priest was very upset that so few were there, especially on Christmas Day. It was heartbreaking. So my prayer today is for all the Priests who are getting discouraged.
Blessings to everyone! I asked for prayer for my daughter and her family a couple weeks ago they had covid she had it really bad, I feel I have gotten a Christmas miracle for she has recovered for the most part, I'm sure it'll take a little while to to recover mostly but her and the family have recovered and they are enjoying a Christmas together! I did not go to Mass because I'm afraid I could give the virus if I would have it to someone because I have been with them this past week so I really appreciate the mass on TH-cam. Now I feel a lot of compassion for people who are sick or alone or suffering. But I feel God is so good and I do feel His peace. Even though the cross gets very heavy sometimes. Merry Christmas to all!
The power of prayer 🙏 My daughter was very sick with Covid in her first trimester. Thank God she's recovered and my first granddaughter will be born in March. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thank you, Fr. Dave, for being a most blessed part of my Christmas morning. I got up an hour before everyone else to watch mass before our festivities. It was wonderful... Merry Christmas to you and everyone here!
Miss my puppy Angel who passed away 15 months ago can’t get over the grieve. Angel died in my bed . Angel watch the mass, rosary, and mercy divine mercy Every day with me 🙏
Sandi, sorry to hear of Angels passing. Losing such an important member of your family is not easy. It’s never goodbye for me though...it’s always see you later. I will definitely hold crazy cat lady status when i eventually catch up with my lost “fur kids”. It takes time...feel better Sandi💕
Thank you father Dave for the information on the boy Jesus, lost for 3 days and found in the Temple. The idea that he might have stayed in the temple, thinking that was his place from then on, makes the most sense of anything I've heard on the topic. Thank you for sharing.
Fr. Dave. Thank you for Christmas Mass today! God's blessings on you for bring his message to those of us who stay at home this season. Merry Christmas to you and everyone! Peace!
I enjoyed your Christmas Mass so much, Father Dave. I was telling my friends about your homily. Some of my family members are not on speaking terms because of political differences. It has made me so sad. You don't have to agree w/ someone 100% to love & respect them. All Jesus wants is our love & tenderness. I laughed when you talked about puppies & how they make people love them. As you were speaking my 5 yr old dog Benny was lying on my lap while I rubbed his tummy. I took a screenshot of it. I know that when I get to heaven, all the dogs whom l devoted my life to will be there to greet me & lead me to Jesus. They're living in His house, just waiting for me to come back.
Merry Christmas Fr. Dave, Jess, Diane and Cragley. Thank you and St. Martha's Parish for forming this wonderful online parish family. I enjoy your Mass each week and have never missed since I found you on TH-cam. You recognize us every week at the beginning of mass by greeting and welcoming us to participate in the mass with you. Love your sermons, you are a gifted speaker.
Feliz Natal Fr Dave Merry Christmas to our special priest and he is our super power. Fr Dave you are the best present that we have found that we have opened and you are there every week. God Bless you and all your special people in your parish. We had Mass but it was not the same as having Midnight Mass but we are happy that we were able to share mass with our family. Cheers to you 🎄🍾🥂🤗 from 🇿🇦 Zita Boas Festas 🎄
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Merry Christmas to you father Dave, Jess, and Diane , and of course Craggly!!! I cannot believe you all took so much time to do the Christmas mass and Sunday mass! I loved the message at the end with all three of you! Thank you and God bless you all it was amazing to share Christmas with you after spending the last year and a half or so with you! Merry Christmas!!!!
A very Merry Christmas to Fr Dave ,Diane and Jess..You are such a Blessing to us all.I love the side profile of Cragley..He looks as if he is thinking about his next Pizza crusts to come.☘️🇨🇦🤣
Merry Christmas to all :) Thank you so much for such a meaningful Christmas Celebration. You have such great messages to share with us, I thank you always. Blessing to you Father Dave and your wonderful assistants Dianne & Jess - Thank you for bringing us this good news today :) and Every Sunday :)
Thank you Father Dave for doing this online mass! I am so grateful to have this mass! It helps me remain hopeful and find Jesus in my relationships with others. Have a Merry Christmas and many blessings in the New Year!
Merry Christmas Fr. Dave, Jess, Diane, and Cragley! Enjoyed the Christmas Mass in all its beauty and loved the homily. My mantra for this Christmas will be to show more tenderness to my family and friends and my Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ! Christmas Blessings and Warm Winter Wishes to all!!
Watching your mass from a mile up in the air, Father Dave! Wish I was in Nj this Christmas, but I’m blessed to have this here. God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas for our savior is born! Great homily Father Dave. You hit the nail on the head!! I went to the children’s 4:00 pm mass yesterday and yes there was a precious baby no more than 8 months old and yes she was cooing and laughing and some of us were paying more attention to her than the mass. She was just so adorable!!! I look forward to seeing my loved ones and especially my best buddy Tyke who I lost this past May. He was the best dog ever! There are times when I fell guilty because I miss him more than my human family members! Hope everyone has a Bless day with family & friends and especially your furry friends!
@@FatherDave thank you very much father....please pass my christmas wishes to all of the parishoners there....i have had an opportunity to wisit bordentown NJ.and NY.on work, and have had experience attending sunday mass in houston, while i was on a business trip...miss the hospitality and warmth of new jersey people, will i was there....nonethless happy holidays Father and do have a good New year yourself and your lovely dog
Merry Christmas, Father Dave and Jess and Diane. What a joy-filled mass celebrating our Savior’s birth. Puppies, always. Cragly looks as if she’s on the hunt for squirrels…or Santa. Jim and I can’t wait to return to in person mass, but, until he is healed from another setback from cancer, we thank God for you and pray for YOU daily. And yes, we thank God every day for His blessings.
Thank you so very, very much for giving us mass and spiritual communion at home. You are amazing and your efforts are greatly appreciated. May God continue blessing you as you share your many talents, including growing potatoes. Your wholehearted laugh is so refreshing! Thank you!!!!
Oh, Father Dave , thank you for a beautiful Christmas mass, and a loving, tender homily. Merry Christmas to you , Cragly, your family , Diane , Jess, parishioners of St Martha and all of the on line parishioners . Volunteers did a great job on decorating the church, especially the manager Puppies and kittens win every time! Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Fr.Dave and Assistants and I hope Santa was good to all. Padre Pio always said "pray and don't worry" Do not let the darkness of the media blind you from God .
Father Dave how do you know EXACTLY what we need to hear???! Helping us understand that Jesus wants our tenderness and love is HUGE. Reminding us to do this for our family regardless of disagreements is also huge. May God bless you richly for being a wonderful Pastor to us out here in online land.
Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for your great joy saying Mass! May God bless you 🙏! I thank God for you, because you bring hope and love to this world! Thanks again, Shane
Merry Christmas fr dave, cragly, diane and jess and 'team'. enjoy the peaceful season. awesome powerful pose of cragly and caught your message ... see you tomorrow, so glad to hear that! forgot to mention a note from my wife georgine. she thoroughly enjoyed reading the bulletin and your story of connecting your first day with cragly and jesus birth, such a beautiful story and awesome picture of young cragly and younger fr dave too .... you Rock!
Your sermons are the best. My mom told me about your masses. We lost my father two years ago so my mom searched for Dave (that was his name) and found you. She believes it was a message from God. Blessings to you and thank you.
Video mass and catechism, the only tethers preventing drift during dark days. thank you to people who put the effort in to develop and edit video mass and thank you for La Flor de Nochebuena.
God bless you and yours, Father Dave, from McPherson, KS, and a very merry Christmas! Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful celebration of the birth of our Lord. May your new year be filled with joy, tenderness, and enough challenge to make you see God's light even clearer.
Thanks Fr Dave and merry Christmas to you , Diane, Jess and Craggers. Got to Christmas mass in my own parish but wanted to tune into your mass too....so glad I did 😀 I knew I would be pondering at your homily and laughing too 🤣🤣 youre a breath of fresh air and craggers 🐕 magestic 👌❤
Im in Florida, where we had almost 30 thousand cases of covid in one day….thank you for being there for us, Father Dave. I can still practice my religion at home.
Let's all pray for an end to Covid. Merry Christmas 🙏♥️
Please keep my adult daughter, Shelly in prayer. (4 children & loving husband)…She’s in critical condition…literally died 5 times in a day, but was brought back by the Doctors. They put her in both a medically induced coma and paralyzed her…she’s coming out tomorrow, and pray she’ll be able to open her eyes. I’m praying for a Christmas Miracle…please pray for her and her family…God bless you…& keep you in the palm of His hand. Merry Christmas ❤️

Thank you father Dave for the information on the boy Jesus, lost for 3 days and found in the Temple. The idea that he might have stayed in the temple, thinking that was his place from then on, makes the most sense of anything I've heard on the topic. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for being there while i am here MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A JOYOUS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FULL OF HEALTH AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER
Feliz Natal Fr Dave🎄🎉 thank you for the lovely Christmas Day mass. Love to all, from Portugal
Woohoo! Merry Christmas Maria and to your family too in Portugal
Absolutely enjoyed your Mass today with my 91 year old mom! Thank you for your holy and happy ministry. Blessed Christmas to you!
God bless you and your mom! Merry Christmas Brian
Fr. Dave. Thank you for Christmas Mass today! God's blessings on you for bring his message to those of us who stay at home this season. Merry Christmas to you and everyone! Peace!
I enjoyed your Christmas Mass so much, Father Dave. I was telling my friends about your homily. Some of my family members are not on speaking terms because of political differences. It has made me so sad. You don't have to agree w/ someone 100% to love & respect them. All Jesus wants is our love & tenderness. I laughed when you talked about puppies & how they make people love them. As you were speaking my 5 yr old dog Benny was lying on my lap while I rubbed his tummy. I took a screenshot of it. I know that when I get to heaven, all the dogs whom l devoted my life to will be there to greet me & lead me to Jesus. They're living in His house, just waiting for me to come back.
Yup. God bless you, your family, and your Benny
merry xmas father dave and all at St Martha.
Merry Christmas, Fr. Dave. God Bless You❣️❣️❣️

Watching your mass from a mile up in the air, Father Dave! Wish I was in Nj this Christmas, but I’m blessed to have this here. God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
Wow. Merry Christmas to you up there. Don't hit Santa as you're flying
Merry Christmas Father and to all attending.
Puppy is my answer.
Merry Christmas for our savior is born! Great homily Father Dave. You hit the nail on the head!! I went to the children’s 4:00 pm mass yesterday and yes there was a precious baby no more than 8 months old and yes she was cooing and laughing and some of us were paying more attention to her than the mass. She was just so adorable!!! I look forward to seeing my loved ones and especially my best buddy Tyke who I lost this past May. He was the best dog ever! There are times when I fell guilty because I miss him more than my human family members! Hope everyone has a Bless day with family & friends and especially your furry friends!
Wonderful mass father david, wishing yourself and everyone in the parish a wonderful christmas and to a wonderful new year....love from Malaysia
Wow. Merry Christmas to you and your family over there.
@@FatherDave thank you very much father....please pass my christmas wishes to all of the parishoners there....i have had an opportunity to wisit bordentown NJ.and NY.on work, and have had experience attending sunday mass in houston, while i was on a business trip...miss the hospitality and warmth of new jersey people, will i was there....nonethless happy holidays Father and do have a good New year yourself and your lovely dog
Merry Christmas, Father Dave and Jess and Diane. What a joy-filled mass celebrating our Savior’s birth. Puppies, always. Cragly looks as if she’s on the hunt for squirrels…or Santa. Jim and I can’t wait to return to in person mass, but, until he is healed from another setback from cancer, we thank God for you and pray for YOU daily. And yes, we thank God every day for His blessings.
Thank you so very, very much for giving us mass and spiritual communion at home. You are amazing and your efforts are greatly appreciated. May God continue blessing you as you share your many talents, including growing potatoes. Your wholehearted laugh is so refreshing! Thank you!!!!
Beautiful service. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.
Oh, Father Dave , thank you for a beautiful Christmas mass, and a loving, tender homily. Merry Christmas to you , Cragly, your family , Diane , Jess, parishioners of St Martha and all of the on line parishioners .
Volunteers did a great job on decorating the church, especially the manager
Puppies and kittens win every time! Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Fr.Dave and Assistants and I hope Santa was good to all. Padre Pio always said "pray and don't worry" Do not let the darkness of the media blind you from God .
Father Dave - Outstanding Homily!
Just what our Family needed. Have a great Christmas !
Go Packers !
Haha. Win today...loose next week? God bless you guys

Father Dave how do you know EXACTLY what we need to hear???! Helping us understand that Jesus wants our tenderness and love is HUGE. Reminding us to do this for our family regardless of disagreements is also huge. May God bless you richly for being a wonderful Pastor to us out here in online land.

Your sermons are the best. My mom told me about your masses. We lost my father two years ago so my mom searched for Dave (that was his name) and found you. She believes it was a message from God. Blessings to you and thank you.
Merry Christmas Father Dave. Thank you for all you do.
Video mass and catechism, the only tethers preventing drift during dark days. thank you to people who put the effort in to develop and edit video mass and thank you for La Flor de Nochebuena.
