Fr. Tony Ricard: "I never thought God would want a priest like me." 

It awesome to see a priest on fire for Jesus like this priest God Bless him

I am a public school teacher currently discerning the priesthood. I have not firmly settled on a vocation yet, but this talk was quite helpful! I am becoming more convinced with each passing day that I am being called to the priesthood and that I just need to make my decision. GOD bless you Father Ricard! Thank you for sharing your story.

I actually had helped setting up the cameras behind the scenes, and talked to him during the filming of it, and despite being extremely drained and tired he still pushed through it to deliver a great talk

I ran across this priest the other day! What a great inspiration 💞🙏

What an amazing history of Catholicism.

Love the uniqueness of this priest. Of course God called him correctly.

Stay REAL Father Tony. Prayers for you…..

I’ve not ever heard of you and you came across my “feed”. It was not an accident! What a gift🎉

As a protestant convert from south Louisiana This priest brought me so much comfort. I love the fact that his accent reminded me of Home and somebody I could relate to and his attitude towards preaching had the zeal of a full Gospel Pastor. God bless this priest!

Father Tony's sermon was the only one that made me actually cry after church. He visited in Raleigh, North Carolina years ago and it was moving.

SUCH a beautiful testimony! I loved every minute of it!

I was in university when my jewish friend asked me out. I told him I didn't want to be called that word Jews call non jewish women. He told me to not worry because his mother and her jewish friends were getting together and praying the rosary (in Toronto Canada) for their children. They found their children were kept safe from all the evil around them. God Bless.

What a lovely man.

i love him so much. so thankful for him. His honesty reminds me that there is a place for all of us at the table.

God Bless You Father, I wish to meet you Father,

Glory to God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This man should be a bishop. A good orator, a good dancer. He has survived much- church closure, Katrina, Covid, the death of his father etc etc.

Amen 🙏 Amen ‼️ Bless you Father♥️ May God continue to Bless you With your Gifts and in your Journey to Feed Jesus’s Sheep. ❤ Peace ☮️ be with you and with your Spirit.🕊

THANKYOU for the videos Christine!! I feel like you could offer a power rosary video service for praying for our lost children... I pray everyday for my kids...my ex.. Is payingvmy children to shut me out of their life.. I wish I had a big force of prayer to knock them free of this toxic (satanic) influence.. I just imagine that since it weighs on your heart Christine that you could offer a rosary service...for our lost loved ones.

Could you remmeber me in your daily prayer (Rosaries) and penances and sufferings brothers and sisters and ask God to have mercy on me and grant me the grace of true repentance and conversion? I have lived a very sinful and selfish life and I am afraid of going to hell.

May I have a snail mailing letter to send a letter to this priest?

Rene Laurentin Accompanied Vasdula Ryden! The TLIG Messages changed my life!! I wonder why Vassula isn’t interviewed on The Catholic Channels! Jesus Appears on Vassula! Many have seen including afew people I know! There Is A Video Extra Normal where Jesus Face Is Seen On Her!! She Is The ONLY I Know That Has Been Given this Gift yet only One Channel ( Mother And Refuge Of The End Times), Mentioned The True Life In God Messages! Most TLIG Readers Also Read Pray and Follow The Divine Will Writings ! Even Teciting Luisa’s Christmas Novena!!

People I knew either said Jesus is uncool, or he is true.🌎

In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land. The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus. Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author. Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate. Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation. Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention....Ukraine was called so since kievian rus..Peter the great changed the name of muskovy to Russia in 1871 and forced the peasants who spoke ugric to speak old Slavic from Ukraine and call it Russian. At that time kiev had been for 1000 years. Russia is not older than the USa. The ugrics allied with the mongolians to invade Ukraine during Mongolian invasion.

So Catholics got a country preacher

Oh Father Why does your colour matter? It does not! It’s about God, and God made us all and does not see colour! You are a good priest be no more than that

Just imagine the scene, God is sitting on his throne and he is reading out every uncharitable deed and thought you have ever had, it will take a long time to read out the sins of every person who has ever lived regardless of whether they had ever heard of this Middle Eastern God or not. This God has a book with all of this written in it, if he is all knowing and all powerful he would not need a book, it would all be in his head, Finally he gets to you and you are summoned up before him, you have been a good Christian and God passes sentence, ENTER THE GATES OF HEAVEN! Straight away you notice that your parents and all the people you loved on Earth were judged differently and they are being thrown into a fiery torture pit, but that is OK because you have made it and after all it is all about YOU, Happy days, excepting that an eternity of being a goody two shoes will not be all that appealing. Now that Gods great experiment is over he might become bored with all the residents of Heaven and will have to invent a new game to play in the universe. Maybe the new game will be as horrific as his last venture, more wars, famine, crime and droughts to test his subjects, who knows? This God is so capricious that your new home in Heaven might be worse than Hell, How could anyone who has any education at all believe any of this religious nonsense? BUT YOU DO !! and your one shot at a good life is spent down on your knees grovelling to something that does not, and has never existed. The mind boggles at such utter stupidity ! ! !
