PURGATORY IS A BIG LIE OF SATAN AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. IT HAS BROUGHT GREED INTO THE CHURCH AND INTO PRIESTS LIVES. THE HOKY SPIRIT IS NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THIS. IT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE ENEMY.
Pkease stop before you hurt others. I know you mean well. I left the Catholic Church years ago because God led me away. The church has so many lies and false doctrine that keeps people in bondage. One of its biggest lies is that of Purgatory. This is and was one of the greatest lies in order for the church and priests to make money because of their greed. The bible clearly teaches that once a person dies they will either go to heaven or hell. There are no second chances. You are deceived by the very enemy you say you want to fight. Also rhe current pope is leading the Catholic church into a great apostasy.
Thank you for making this video. I think this is important, personally as someone discerning the priesthood. I am glad that you do not plan on leaving faith, and I hope you and your wife and children will continue this faith. You should still be an example for many, and I hope that you will heko many thousands
Happy Birthday, THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GIFTS! May Our Lord use me as He Wills and May I Accept it Joyfully for Reparation of sins, mitigation of Chastisements and for Holy Souls!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I need prayers for my health and also for my recently deceased parents (Aug 19 2023 and September 5th 2023) and also for the religious in Purgatory. Thank you
One commenter insinuated that leaving the priesthood would leave a mark on one's soul. I don't think that is necessarily true. The Mercy of Jesus is tremendous and God is a Lot more complex that we give Him credit for. We all must keep searching for the Truth because we will never fully know the Truth until after we die. Just don't ever deny God. From your videos I can tell that you know that very well. I don't yet know how you feel about the Catholic Church but to me it is a life saver. I left the church for the world but never denied that God was real. I just 'drifted'. Fortunately, I came back. I'm far from prefect but I'm going to stay on the narrow road. Thanks for your videos.
I remember the RCC changing its teaching by saying that there is no purgatory. Whoever interpreted the Matthew 12 passage couldn't have read the text because it is as plain as day, if anyone blasphemes the Father or the Son it can be forgiven, but if they blaspheme the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven in this life or the next vs. 31 and 32 (Jesus was addressing unbelievers). It would be good to read vss. 22-37 for context. Also, Hebrews 6:4-6 sheds light on what will happen to believers who turn back - Hell forever. Good luck on the day of judgement if anyone thinks that anything but the blood of Jesus cleanses away sin.
Yes. You can. I did it this year via Split. There is a bus from the airport to the centre and buses from there to Medjugorje. Bus to centre of Split was €8, bus to Medjugorje from centre of Split was €25 approx. I'm sure it is just as easy from Dubrovnik. In Medjugorje, I stay at Irish House (which is an aparthotel) that I know and trust and is quite close to the Church. While pilgrimages with a priest as spiritual director are great, being independent and having the freedom to plan your activities is also lovely.
Our Lady called for a nine-day novena which brought back much of my profound conversion experience 16 years ago in Medjugorje, where God intervened through our Blessed Mother to save my marriage. After nine consecutive days of Eucharistic Adoration, the Blessed Mother entered my hotel room to wake me up at 2 am, changing my life forever. My marriage would have been considered unsalvageable, having led a promiscuous life with frequent visits to strip clubs and red districts, but nothing is impossible for God. Fruits of Medjugorje have been about conversion testimonies. Glad to know it will be made into a movie. I love the movie Fatima, which was released in 2020. God bless!
No they should not make a movie, because these movies never portray the real deal and Hollywood usually ruins everything. Maybe if Angel studios did it, or the director of The Chosen.
I was once very active in church, served as an EM, taught 3 classes, confirmation 2 and 1. I was a lector all in my early 20's. I was always a speaker for the retreat, organized games and events, but I too did it out of Pride and wanted to be acknowledged. Then cancer hit me hard, I lost faith, did not go to church but luckly by the grace of God Ive turned back and Now i only serve as a Lector and I've learned much so I can kind of understand your situation. May God continue to guide us both in glorifying Him and Him only.
Reading some of the comments, people chatting about the validity of the apparitions...this is what Satan wants. Look, all we need are the sacraments. Yes, you can follow approved and unapproved messages all you want. All we need, though, is to believe in the true presence, go to confession, Holy Communion, avoid mortal sin, pray the Rosary. Do the stations...what more do we need?
As a devout and dedicated Catholic, it's very confusing and fatiguing trying to keep up with and understand all of the apparitions and movements, approved or unapproved. Spiritual progress and closeness to Christ grows out of simplicity with fewer devotions practiced devoutly. I focus on the Rosary and the Auxilium Christianorum prayers each day, and divine mercy.
I’m going to write this complete story out soon but I wanted to share. My grandma died in 2000 and I became Catholic in 2009. My older sister became Catholic in mid 90s. When my grandma had her 2nd stroke she woke up only able to speak one word: Rosary… she was not Catholic. When I became Catholic I had a very realistic and lucid dream. I was visiting her in something like a nursing home. I went in her room to see her and she was entirely in a dirty cloth bag. It had a small hole in it and I only saw a yellow suffering eye. I could see the outline of her face it was extremely thin. Her eye was wide open and it called to me in pain though I don’t think she could see me. I couldn’t stand to see her suffering so I left the room and prayed a Hail Mary in Latin with all my heart (I had just learned it in Latin not for any particular reason). I felt the Holy Spirit come. The door of her room was now closed with only a small window in the center. I saw a blue light from inside as if from a tv screen and I looked in and saw her face (I didn’t look for the source of the light). She looked no older than 40, and her face was lit up with a smile and the blue light. Then I awoke. I later realized the cloth bag she was in was sack cloth and it was covered in ashes (I had to look it up).
Was in Bosnia in military. We were in tuzla and camp dobol. I'm not sure what town camp dobol was in I can't remember if we went through medjugorje. I did like Bosnia.
Medjugorje is a classic example of throwing stuff up against the wall and hoping it'll stick. Unfortunately, many of the sheep have taken all of this in hook, line and sinker.
Medjugorje apparitions are not approved yet. I like this paragraph from Catholic Answers, because when I read it basically explained what I have always thought about this: "Those who have experienced conversions-or a deepening of faith-associated with pilgrimage(s) to Medjugorje should know that the validity of their experiences does not hinge upon whether the reported apparitions are declared of supernatural origin. Indeed, the sacraments are valid at Medjugorje, and the Blessed Mother can-and does-fruitfully intercede for those who seek her sincerely, wherever that may be."
Your acute insight into poor Father Martin's psychological vexations are matched by your likewise humble perception to avoid his catastrophic behavior.
Thank you very much for your testimony (to borrow a Protestant phrase.) It couldn't have been easy, and I respect the effort you've made to tell us your story, your continuing journey. ------------------ One small technical question: The flow of your speaking is recurringly interrupted by the micro-edits evident in the sum of this and other videos. Why are so many RU-vidrs so adamant about minimizing every little pause in the natural rhythm of human speaking? Making every second count is, in this and many other examples, unnecessary and oftentimes distracting. Believe us, we do want to hear every word...but not when they're crowded together. 😉
Imo Medjugorjhe is fake. Ask Fr Ripperger about it, Bishop schneider suggests caution. I would do real research and dont just judge based on feelings. The devil is very clever and can appear as an angel of light. He does not care if you pray the Rosary if he can get you to agree all religions should come together.
The local bishops were there too. The original bishop used to lead pilgrimages to Lourdes. He said Medjugorjhe was demonic. All the bishops were against it. Are you Charismatic alvaro?
@UniquelyMary fruits of conversion to what? To the faith that suppresses its own tradition? Ignores Papal Bull Quo Primum? Shuts down the TLM but pachamama is ok? Legitimizes sodomy? Conversion to a faith that says God is ALL MERCY, no hell below us above us only sky? All religions are ok? Those fruits?
As a devout Catholic who has been to Medjugorje twice, the fruits are undeniable. God bless you ladies on this very important Marian project. Mary’s Immaculate Heart will triumph!!! Viva Cristo Rey!!! ❤️
