Father Columba, I was Baptised into the Catholic Church a few days ago at the Holy Saturday Easter Vigil. Watching your videos helped me along during the past year. Thank you for making these videos.

ST. TERESE OF AVILA: “It is a great grace of God to practice self-examination; but too much is as bad as too little. Believe me, by God’s help, we shall advance more by contemplating God than by keeping our eyes fixed on ourselves.”

Just yesterday evening, a thought popped into my mind, to ask Jesus: “Will you be my guest tonight?… What may I offer you?” It was just a glimpse, followed by distractions, but I kept trying to get back to it, it felt so good, as if a door had suddenly unlocked.

I had taken My cross and medal with the Madonna of, and put it in a pocket. The video started and I reached in the pocket the necklace was all tangeld together. I first thought oh No as i often do when things go into knoths and i dont see a way out. Then i realized by the Grace of God that i then could listen to him because he was speaking, through this entagledment the necklace had created and the lessons I belivie was that as soon as I listende to the video and opened My heart for the peace and comfort of God i started to feel like the necklace almost like i didnt do anything made itself become back to order. Only by trying to listen to what Gods meaning was in that situation. Glory to God for doing these funny but beautiful lessons of life

@chanteusesanders 10 дней назад

Fr. Columba's advice sounds very simple when done ONCE. But to regularly apply it day to day is a different ordeal, and thats the beauty of always trying to remind ourselves daily to put ourselves in the presence of God, regardless of how our days go. I wish I can achieve this in my life. Thank you for reminding us this Fr. Praise be God!

@dannny_macdee1015 24 дня назад

Thank you SO much, Brother! Countless times in Adoration or meditative prayer, I have felt like I should open myself to listening, and nothing comes, and I feel as if it's my fault somehow. I do get inspirations at times out of the blue, and infrequently in deep prayer. But, to just open myself whether or not He speaks and that's okay; well this is a warm and welcoming idea for me! Perhaps this is another meaning to the Scripture Passage, "Wait upon The Lord"... Praised be Jesus for sending this to me through you in perhaps due time, 3 weeks later in my feed!

I've been making a Sacred Heart painting for over the fireplace. It's pretty big and oil paint so it's been going slow. I know He loves me to fuss over Him as well and make Him look as perfect as I can. Sometimes I hear Him say my name, and I know He wants me at the painting but not to paint. He could be anywhere, but He calls me there to just gaze at each other. His voice is very soft and simple. He's so adorable and loveable. And funny and always right. ❤❤❤😂😅

Thank you so very much, dear Fr Columba, for yet another incredibly helpful and deeply inspiring video! I'm so grateful to you!!! Tried to find the words to the prayer of St Francis: "Who are You, God, and who am I ?" but no success. I wonder if you or anyone reading this might be able to add them or even just a link to them here, in the comments? Also, I loved your reference to coincidences!! Someone once said, there are no such things as coincidences, they are all 'God-incidences'! I loved everything you said in this video. I just hope & pray I can become more like you! God bless you unceasingly, Father, and thank you again for all you give us!!!! 🙏🏼🕊🙏🏼

@HannahLou22 Месяц назад

Okay, I’ve made it about halfway through the video and I needed to pause and ask this question: does God ALWAYS speak to us when we’re in the liturgy or when we read scripture? Because I’ve had days in the past, even multiple days in a row, where I couldn’t seem to hear anything. I was under a spiritual director at the time and she simply kind of nodded when I said that, which made me think that it was normal. I really struggle with that though…I’ve experienced wounds of abandonment in my past and not hearing God in my prayer brings up so much pain and anger, like He’s there but leaving me on read. That’s all. Thanks for reading.

@HannahLou22 Месяц назад

Okay, I’ve finished the video, and I hear your point on cultivating an attitude of openness and acceptance of any messages, without demanding that there be one. Easier said than done, but at least I know where to try to go in my prayer life right now. Thanks.

@justindphelps 22 дня назад

You mentioned how God can speak to you and you referenced someone you were thinking about calling you on the same day Jung call that synchronicity and he spent his career trying to empirically prove the existence of God though he never could he did concluded in his book synchronicities that he found his patients who believed in God got better.

@homemakersheart3614 24 дня назад

This has been what I am experiencing the past few weeks. Jesus, close, listen to Him (as Mary says). This quote is on my kitchen cabinet "Do not let your recollection or your union with God be disturbed. Even if Martha's work is weighing on you, always seek to preserve Mary's spirit of prayer. Even with all your external occupations you can pray and your heart can consistently rest in God." ~ Bl. Maria Theresia Seeking His sweet soft voice as I am going about my day, but also DOING those soft nudges He puts on my heart. THAT is my work. I struggle....I have a plan, or I am doing this..when I am done, then THAT will be next. Only, something comes along and keeps me distracted and I never get to it. Then the next day I realize it and, ugh. My daily journey to DO what He presses on my heart. Thank you for being His hands and feet and making this video. Again, He reminds me to seek Him and listen with my Heart.

@dannny_macdee1015 24 дня назад

That is a wise quote, dear soul. I think of it in this way: When Paul said to "pray at all times", he didn't mean to always say words, but rather, prayer is also being of a mind to expect Jesus [or Mary or other assigned Saints] at any time, and to keep The Lord in the background, so you can hear Him speak when He taps you on the shoulder [in whatever way that might be].
