"Kickoff" .... "Notre Dame" .... figures it's ALWAYS about FOOTBALL FIRST with ND even when it's about the Eucharist ....... that much be a midwestern thing .... we New York Foundlings and followers of Elizabeth Seton .... say and do things VERY differently .... especially regarding the Eucharist .... it's a dance .... it's not a football game. There's NO KICKOFF. There's NO VIOLENCE. Elizabeth Seton's nuns encourage ballet ..... art not sport ...... beauty not pain.
"IS" the Trinity not "ARE" the Trinity .... a SCNY would NEVER have made a grammatical error while speaking about the Eucharist !!!! TSK TSK TSK .... MORE FOCUS ON SAINT ELIZABETH SETON PLEASE. With the SCNY announcing their path to completion, ALL the other religious orders in the USA are gonna have to step it up a notch !!!!!
Interesting but this feels unorthodox in saying that Jesus didn't meant us to re-enact the Last Supper when He said "do this in memory of Me" but instead what He meant was for us as people to give our own bodies and blood to make the world the community that the Trinity desires. I do not believe that is the teaching of the Catholic Church about this part of the Mass. In fact, I think this undermines the reality of Jesus as central to the entire Mass and Eucharistic celebration, and instead makes us, in a way, the center of the Mass. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but this feels misguided at best, possibly outright wrong.
"And who do we have here? Old people, young people." No Sister, OLD people. Lately channels have been popping up in my RU-vid feed of live streamed Sunday masses at Novus Ordo parishes. As I observe the communion line (assuming the stream even includes it), without fail, 80-90% of communicants are over 40 years of age. There may be a young couple with small children here and there, but for the most part, lotsa blue and grey hair, boomers and busters. Where are da yoots? I'll tell you where. They're either lounging at home watching NFL Red Zone or they've woken up and found tradition, the faith of their great grandfathers. I've also noticed that these parishes turn off the comment function to their streams, otherwise they'd have to see questions which they darn well know will be asked. Eucharistic congresses and revivals to the tune of what, $20+ million, will do zip, zero, nada to promote belief in the real presence. Real faith will come when real and true worship returns, but first, the "church of the new advent" must die, and if these streams are any indication, it most certainly will and cannot happen too soon. Thank God! 😇
I attend what you refer to as "novus Ordo" and we have MANY young families. Same with the parish my brother attends and yet another one that my daughter attends. Total propaganda by those who think saying a Mass in Latin equates to 'legitimate" and "reverent"
I think before you accept her explanation of the Eucharist, seek out a more reliable speaker on this topic. I have no doubt of her sincerity or intelligence but her description of what is really occurring at the Mass, especially the consecration and meaning of the words we speak are not what the Catholic Church teaches us. I love seeing powerful and intelligent female speakers. Check out Dr. Mary Healy, Mother Angelica, Dr. Elizabeth Klein, to name a few.
Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world! Saint Benedict, pray for us! Thursday, July 11, 2024! Please correct date today in previous comments!
May the soul of Sister who was shot rest in peace...doing God's will is seeking first the Kingdom of God! Jesus is the willing prisoner of the tabernacle so we know where He is until the end of time! Thursday, July 10, 2024 Pray for our Muslims and modernist Catholics to convert to Jesus Christ who is fully man and fully God!
Saint Benedictine, pray for us especially for this impoverished sister preaching a different Gospel! This is deeply troubling and confusing because of the proposition that sister proposes that as nouns (subjects) that we are the "verb"? Wide as the Cosmos? Cosmos? New Age language is not Catholic, is it? Don't you believe that we can have God in my mouth and in our bodies? Would you please consider using Catholic language please? Jesus is God! Amen. Amen. God is Eucharist: the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of God! Jesus is the human face of God and the divine face of man because He preferred to die than tell the lie He didn't love us! And does He not remain with us until the end of time in the Little White Round Daily Bread!? Thursday, July 10, 2024
The Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. I don’t know what you are preaching but it doesn’t sound Catholic but Modernist whom we were warned of by Holy Popes.
I recently came across your RU-vid-recommended video expressing gratitude, and I must admit, I was thoroughly impressed by your communication style. Your emphasis on human creativity, inspiration, and imagination aligns seamlessly with the themes I delve into on my channel. Just like you, I endeavor to provide hope and valuable insights to my audience. Your distinctive viewpoint and eloquent delivery have persuaded me to subscribe. Keep up the fantastic work!
We just Love Sister Therese. She officiated at our marriage in Michigan in 2001. She is ALL YOU NEED when your faith, your strength, and your life is failing. See you in heaven, dear Sister.
This is a great documentary. I first found out about Sister Stang while watching Cowspiracy. They didn’t get into the detail and now I’m even more in awe of her grace.
Sr. Rita you are as beautiful as the words you shared with us. So good to see you again even if it is on a video about my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving blessings to you and all the sisters at MND and around the world.
Hi, I think I received the same mails they did sent to you, just yesterday evening! Can you please tell me, who the sender was whom sent that mail to you? Was it someone using the name, BRAULIO CALEB RUIZ VALADEZ (e-mail; bc.ruizvaladez@ugto.mx) I am in Europe, but would like to find out exactly who is/or are behind this .( My e-mail is memowilly@hotmail.com ) Greetings; Willem P.S. I hope to hear back from you soon.
I find this very sad, but I am also confused as to where Sister Dorothy is buried. A podcast I was listening to says she is buried in Brazil, but this website says she is buried in Hamilton County in the USA www.findagrave.com/memorial/43147733/dorothy-stang
