Focus on These Virtues If You Want to Grow Closer to Christ (feat. Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.) 

1. Patience 2. Humility 3. Meekness

Thank you Fr. I pray that everyone here can get closer to walking with Jesus.

I'm actually reading St. Francis de Sales' book Introduction to the Devout Life! This is such great timing! I highly recommend the book!

Yaay, I’ve been looking for new books to read. Love these new short episodes!

Hard to know the difference between suffering and feeling sorry for myself. I didn’t get vaccinated nor wore a mask during these couple years of Covid. My sister (super strong liberal) told me I’m not welcome to come to her house for thanksgiving and Christmas because I wasn’t vaccinated. My brothers and her continue to exclude me even though they all had Covid. I feel incredibly sad about this. My feelings are really hurt. So it’s hard to know if it’s suffering or just feeling sorry for oneself. I wouldn’t want to align myself incorrectly out of lack of self awareness.

Jesus Christ, Increase my 1. Patience 2. Humility 3. Meekness Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirt. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end amen.

One of my favorite books The Devout Life. So simple and chock full of wisdom that he makes easy to understand

Goodness truth beauty

Thank you 🙏🏿

I hope you do more like this. This was great. More on suffering would be great.

Thanks!

I appreciate that the tabernacle is right behind you as you speak. You speak, I pray while you speak.

I thank God for these times because they awakened me out of a coma to realize there is Nothing except union with my Lord. 💓❣️👏☝️

I love Fr. Gregory. Thank you for this!

Looking forward to the podcast!

My gosh, that starter. What is there not to love about this guy? lol

I asked God to shepherd me and help me to grow in my Faith, Trust, obedience and love and I heard His answer...Patience, Humility and Meekness. Jesus, I trust in You!, Jesus, I trust in You!, Jesus, I trust in You. Thank You, 🙏❤‍🔥

Love the idea of this new podcast, Catholic Classics! Will watch out for this. Nice to see you again here in Ascension Presents, Fr. Pine! The first time I watched you in this channel, it was in an episode with Fr. Mark Mary of the Franciscans of the Renewal. God bless our friars! 🕊️🙏🙏🙏

LOL, I love the comedy aspect, in the beginning, but thank you for the video Father.

Good explanations Fr., God bless you with good health and a cheerful heart. 🌹

Super excited for the podcast, Fr! I hardly have time to sit down and read physical books, so to hear it in an audio format is a blessing!

This is an answered prayer. Thank you Fr. Gregory and Ascension❤️🙏

Excellent advise. This is worth while to listen to. Thank you Father.

Oh I did enjoy your podcast, Thank you for your Priesthood, God bless you and please be assured of my prayers.☘️

So we'll explained ❤

recommend this channel to the CCD kids.

Yes father you are correct

I have discovered a great way to get closer to Christ. Read his Word daily and do what it says.

Closer to God is the key to our Salvation. We are here to Know Love and Serve God. So this video and the coming audiobook will really help. Good to purchase book as backup. By the way heard Humility described as not thinking less of ourselves. But think of ourselves less. And So others more.

Please notify when podcast begins and what platform. Thank u :)

Very good.

✝️🕊😇❤️‍🔥🙏 As many virtues as it takes. You know it.

I listened to the introduction to the devout life on Catholic classics and it was awesome! Sorry, doing speech to text and I'm too lazy to put in punctuation, I'm sure you'll figure it out😂

'Poco a poco!' Gratias tibi.....

Your voice sounds just like Father Dave Nix

Pray to be conformed to the will of God .

I am a catechist in my parish. This is quite relevant with my lesson tonight. I wish I watched this prior to our class. Anyway, I could always go back and revisit our lesson on virtues. (One other thing, Fr. Gregory, I noticed you have a bump on your forehead. Have you had a doctor looked at it?)

If you believe Freewill is God' greatest gift to humanity, then we all already know God's Will, do we not? This sermon reminds me of Tolkien's poem regarding the One Ring to rule them all... Free: not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one desires without imposing upon another; not or no longer confined or imprisoned. Will: (philosophy); an action. Dom: denoting a state or condition. Body/Mind/Emotion: when a Spirit of Freewill (God; Human) imposes its Will upon the Freewill of another it ceases being Freewill (Divine; Humane; Heaven or Peace on Earth). Belief is an E~motion. Do a persons words and actions agree? For through these things can be found one’s measure of reliability and sincerity towards anything, including Self; including God; including Love. Believe what you will ~ God Bless ~ Much Love ~ Good Luck

Cool! Has ascention adopted Fr Gregory now?

How often have I heard the definitions of virtues while presupposing a god.

That poncho looks perfect to eat spaghetti.

I need to work on the third virtue meekness 😢

Thank you Fr. Who knows how to find the podcast pls?

4days fasting...how do you do it fr gregory?

ST. CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA: “Why do you judge your neighbors? If you venture to judge them, having no authority to do it, it is yourself rather that will be condemned, because God’s law does not permit you to judge others. Psalm 129:3: 'If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt, Lord, who would survive?'"

Thanks, Fr. I just want to meet Jesus & not have him say "I did not know you..."

Looking forward to the new content!

The minute you know you're humble... You're not.

Are you related to Matt Frad? You guys look like brothers 😁

is Fr. Gregory Pine OP?

The return of Jesus Christ is likened to the coming of a thief in the night. Two passages use the wording “a thief in the night”: Matthew 24:43, “Understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into,” and 1 Thessalonians 5:2, “You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.” But for centuries now Christians have claimed that Christ's return is days away! So maybe Christ is coming like a Senior Citizen using a walker:) I jest. But seriously the honest question for Christians is...How long is a reasonable amount of time to wait until the return of Christ before humanity moves on to actual taking responsiblity to solving world problems without religious input? I haven't been able to get an honest answer on this from any Christian...they dodge it with bible verses...rationalizations. I know the question is an uncomfortable one because it makes you question your faith. But for Christianity to be true the return of Christ has to happen correct? I know all the answers that the bible gives...but again I am asking human being to human being how long is a reasonable time frame for the world to keep the belief in Christ's return? 10 years? 100 years? 1000 years? 10,000 years?

Jesus said without me you can do nothing. Human works is against his calling. Many are called few choosen. Luther tried same he knew he not justified by the monastic Life.

Does the devout life include contributing content to a vicious, twisted, bigoted RU-vid channel called Pints With Aquinas? A channel that features Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh and Candace Owens?

Tell it to the Pope, Father.
