This video should be played in every parish CCD & RCIA class. You will learn more about the Mass and the Eucharist watching this 20 minute video than spending 20 years in most parish religious education classes. Thank you Father!!! We homeschool our children and I will make sure they watch this video!!!
I always wanted to know what the mass was really about. Amazing Priest, we need more like him. He's with Jesus now and I bet he's telling him what a good job he did.
He spoke like a saint! I have no doubt that Jesus opened those gates with a huge smile and a "well done my good and faithful servant." May He rest in peace!
This was awesome! I’m a cradle Catholic and was moved to tears, especially when you talked about your stuttering and the fact that the only time you don’t is when you are proclaiming His Word! Praise God🙏
WOW ! You never cease to amaze me with your teachings . Truly God is working through you . Thank you for your persistence to save our souls . God Bless you .
I just found Fr. Mark, because of the news, of his death. Certainly this fits: John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
Fr Mark you earned your place in heaven today....4 weeks ago when you did this sermon, you did not know how close it was....in your 12 years as a priest you worked hard to save souls and bring the lost sheep home.... good snd faithful servant...Rest in Peace
I was fortunate to be able to attend in person yesterday and was blown away! Listening again today and am sharing! God Bless Father Mark for not being afraid to PREACH, the Truth!
Amen! Amen! Fr. Mark you are an on fire true Priest of the Living God. Thank you for making your homilies and Sunday Masses available to everyone. May God bless you abundantly!
I’m a cradle Catholic and went to Catholic school up to college and didn’t learn all this. There is so much symbolism at mass that I didn’t know. Thank you Fr Beard. May your soul Rest In Peace,
Thank you God for blessing us with this holy man of truth. I think it is ironic that because of the tragic loss of Father Mark, I am compelled to follow him & listen to his powerful homilies. I never even knew of him until I heard of his passing. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Rest in God’s heaven peace dear Father Mark & m ay our ears & eyes be open to the truth you so beautifully proclaim🙏✝️💜
God bless Father Mark...I did not know about him until two days ago when i listened to his last homily before he passed away. Father Mark, pray for us. You are a true soldier of God.
4th time i watching this video, on the Sunday with tears for the love God is sending us through this Holy priests. His death caught my attention! ! Who else has brought over by his death? 🖐️ Remember Fr. Beard in our daily prayers
When a dear loved one passes away, we say God had His reason for taking him. I dare to say that one of the reasons why God called his faithful son, was because his preaching had to be shared and heard.❤
I listened to one of his homilies earlier this week, and it really struck me. He preaches in a way that educates and enlightens. Truly eye-opening! It wasn't until today that I learned he had departed this earth! 😢
I am of the same thought. Gods will being done through Fr Mark, HIS faithful and obedient servant. . He was Gods vessel..there is no denying that. There are certain people that Goď puts on this earth just for a specific purpose and once that has been fulfilled, God takes them home. In Fr Marks case, i really believe this has taken place.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Fr. Mark’s soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen. 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼
Amen! 🙏 What a true priest, filled with the Holy Spirit in this Homily, taught through such beautiful expression and zeal what a modern day Saint is. Rest in Eternal Peace, Father Mark Beard ❤ JESUS I TRUST IN YOU! 🌹 AVE MARIA
I absolutely LOVE this priests Homilies, his delivery is amazing! I come from a Protestant background and this is how I remember my preacher, he said it like it was without holding back! I just found Fr Mark the other day and now he has gone on to his eternal reward. I'm sad I didn't find him sooner. Eternal Rest Grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace. ✝️🙏🏻
This is the reason it is a privilege to be called to be Catholic and most cradle catholics don’t even realize it. When we take in the the Eucharist our hearts beat in unison and and His blood courses through our veins!! God bless🕊💜🕊
I am so thankful and grateful to come across Father Mark's sermon and I learned a lots and lots...THANK YOU JESUS I LOVE YOU JESUS, I PRAISE YOU JESUS, I WORSHIP YOU JESUS...THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING SERVANT...May he have a place with you in Eternal Life❤❤❤
So passionate so wonderful. Rest in peace Fr. Mark, I met you on the internet way tooo late. But since they taped your homilies, those with ears should hear. ❤ 🙏
I’m 73 yrs old & I have never heard anything so profound as I listened to Fr. Mark’s homily. It was electric! I didn’t know half of what was taught to us in Catholic school. Fr Mark, I praise u & thank you for this eye opening lesson. I was sooo ashamed & was in tears at the end of Fr. Mark’s homily. He has brought me closer to Our Lord & now he is gloriously in God’s arms. I wish I had known Fr. Mark sooner. RIP my friend🙏🇺🇸❤️
This is what I seek in the church today. Sadly the mass is not what it should be. So sad to see so many undiscipline people attending mass and the priests telling jokes and the choir so loud with music that should be somewhere out of the church. God Bless you Father Mark, rest in peace.
My condolences to the parishioners for the terrible loss of Fr Beard. This made me teary. A priest ON FIRE for the Lord. May he earn his heavenly reward quickly.🙏✝️💖
I just happened upon this video today and was shocked to hear of his passing. What day did he pass? I would live to learn more about Fr Beard if anyone would like to share?
I wanted to send my condolences to his Parish. I didn't know him, I heard of his death on the news. This is the 1st time I heard him preach. He definitely had the love and fire in him for Jesus. Again I am truly sorry to hear of his death. I will have a mass said in his name at St. Joachim Church in Marrero, La. May God Bless you all
O my God in Heaven! Thank You, Jesus! Thank You Father, God! You love us so much. You give us Yourself EVERY DAY if we choose or can be available to receive You. Thank You Father, God! And Thank You Father, God and our Savior, Jesus, for our holy and reverent priests who teach, preach and consecrate the Eucharist for us. My Jesus, thank You for Father Mark and so many other holy and reverent priests. Bless them, LORD.
Wow! Glory To God forever and ever! God’s Glorious Face shining then and now upon the Person and soul of Father’s Mark. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let Thy Perpetual Light shine upon him. Thank you Holy Spirit for Thy beautiful gift of wisdom, knowledge and empowerment in using those beautiful gift that conveyed such beautiful and live giving anchor for our faith which helps to remain in God’s Truth in Christ Jesus. Grateful to You oh God, for giving us the beautiful gift of your Church and Holy Priests. Hail Mary most Pure conceived without sin, pray for The Catholic Church and for Holy Priests to remain true to Jesus Our Lord and High Priest. Amen
Father Mark. This homily struck my heart in a way that I have never experienced before. Your words at the end have marked me for life. I feel I failed as a parent because my older children have lost their faith. I will do better with my younger ones, and will pray hard to have my older children come back to the faith. May you rest in peace, in the presence of the True Loving God, now and forever. Amen 🙏🏼
Eternal Rest grant unto Father Mark, O Lord. May Perpetual Light shine upon him. May Father Mark and ALL of the Faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen.
Powerful! If only more Priests were as passionate about preaching the gospel as he was the church's wouldn't be as empty as they are now across America. I.came across his homily 's by chance only after hearing of his tragic passing. Rest in peace Father Mark Beard.
Grateful for you and your PRIESTHOOD! Sadly I didn't know why these symbols stood for EVERYTHING in the Church and at Mass. I am a cradle Catholic of 58 years. With Profound Gratitude for you and your concern for my soul! Thank you!
@@johnhuber354 he coming off of an overpass and there was cars stopped he didn’t want to hit any so he drove off the median flipped and hit a culvert Fr Walsh said this at his funeral in Baton Rouge on Thursday you can listen to the homily of you go to Our lady of Mercy Catholic Church
THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT OFTRUTH Through THIS Righteous Priest! AMEN Fr. Mark!! You are our Magnificant Shepherd! Lord God bless & protect this Holy Priest!
I just saw on the internet yesterday Fr. Mark's homily on " The Fence". Never heard of him before. Just after viewing it, I saw that it was his last homily. I, then, was so moved, I started to listen to past RU-vid homilies. What a gift! Then, as I listened to this awesome one on the Eucharist, I was blown away. I've come to the conclusion that like St. Therese of Lisieux, he will do more good from Heaven than on earth as folks take in his homilies. Thank you, Fr.Mark.
Such a great priest ! I know nothing about him, or watch any of his homilies until his death. I think he will touch a lot of lost souls back to Jesus after his death through his homilies. Eternal rest grant to you, Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon you. May you rest in peace. Amen. My sincere condolence to the family of Fr. Mark, especially the mother. Love you Father
A true anointed servant of God Almighty and our Lord Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Fr. Mark for preaching the truth to save souls.
God works in mysterious ways; this beloved priest died in a car accident a few days ago in La. near Mississippi . Without his premature death ; I would never have known of this future " saint ' !
My daughter played travel softball when she was younger. We would look up churches in that area. God always provided a mass for us . We even brought some of the girls on the team with us. Thank you Lord. 🙏✝️
Fr. Mark ... I've learned so much from this mass and all your masses ... thank you .. I wish you were our priest .. but at least I can watch you here ❤❤
wow. I just happened upon this video. This is the first time I have heard this priest. I just googled him and found out he died 2 days ago in a tragic car accident. I pray that God brings him into heaven. I just wished I learned about him before today. now I need to listen to his other homilies.
Wow‼️ Amén 🙏 🧎♀️🙏 I wish I could’ve listen to his sermons more. What a man of God on Fire 🔥 to teach us the way to Jesus‼️ I just found about Father Mark most Recently and it was about his passing. 😢 May He be in The arms of God looking down on us. He is a warrior up in Heaven looking out for us. Amen 🙏🧎♀️🙏☮️🕊️
This is one of the greatest homilies I’ve ever heard. 9:25 “If you ever notice, I can put my hands on the altar, but a deacon is not supposed to, because his hands are not consecrated.” Isn’t this the reason to only receive Holy Communion only from the priest, and directly on our tongue? In the Armenian Catholic Rite, you are only allowed to receive from the priest and only on the tongue.
@ArmenChakmakian. I totally 100% agree with you. Our Lord bless you for this observation. May the precious soul of Fr. Mark Beard rest in eternal heavenly peace. Amen
I remember asking God some time ago if there was a specific way of worshipping Him or if we can worship Him however we like (like so many people say). Today I got the answer with Fr. Mark's homily and the homily of another priest I heard earlier today.
I asked this question this year on 16th of June and I got a picture of the Eucharist and here I am, 10 years a Protestant converting to Catholicism. God answers this prayer quickly 😅

I pray for you to have protection and wisdom !!!!! Thank you for all of your wisdom and work you have done to turn my eyes to the Holy Trinity and Holy Family . Thank you God and Father !!!
“GOOD” Catholic priests should realize that since Vatican 2, most Catholics do not know their faith. More priests need to teach/preach as Father Mark does. But unfortunately there are more priests that follow the “modern” mass. THE CHURCH THAT CHRIST STARTED NEEDS AND DESERVES BETTER CATHOLIC PRIESTS!! Pray for the good priests who have lost their way and can still be saved!!
Wow, Father Mark enjoyed listening to you every Sunday afternoon. Even though we’re not Catholics we still think when you speak you’re awesome. Frankly last Sunday we almost turned you off but I’m sure glad we waited for the last 90 seconds of your sermon. I’ve cut and pasted that and sent it all over the world . Keep using your sword to cut into the marrow. Remember the problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.
The altar he is referring to is the altar connected to the TABERNACLE! Like in the TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS! TABERNACLE in the center and the priest facing the altar(TABERNACLE)! AVE MARIA! Thank you, Father!
Amazing and Profound, how I wish we had more priests like him!!! Painfully, his Master has called him , for the golden crown worked for and deserves 👏 💜, good servant of his master, rest in peace and 🙏 pray for us, the Church ⛪️ and your brother Priests 🙏 ❤️ 💙
Glory to God in the most blessed sacrament praise you Jesus, that you stay with us till the end of time such love we will never see except through him. Thank you for sharing this I have to pass around people need to hear this, especially those that do not believe in the true presents. Amen and hallelujah thank you Abrusia God amen.
