Im giving up 

Hey, Welcome back! And congratulations! 😄

Jason, We are very happy for you. God has blessed you so much.

Congratulations!

Did you receive Holy Communion in the hand?

@@acunchevy54 Receiving Holy communion in the hand is a complete lack of Reverence for God. It's an absolutely disgusting thing to do.

Father Casey, I am a doctor and I had my frustrations early in my career when I dealt with medical issues that I cannot fix for my patients and I later realized that I am an MD not GOD and I am glad that you realized that you are a father but not Heavenly Father. We have a great weapon called hope and prayer.

I am also physician and almost kill myself in depression because of the same reason. It took me a while to realize that I should not finish my career and keep going. second guessing myself and God was my every day thought.

Many years ago as a new nurse, we had a 15 year old patient who we knew well because he had osteosarcoma. On the night he was dying, his oncologist was leaning against my desk and sort of talking to himself saying, "Did I do everything right? Did I do all I could?" 30 years later it stuck with me because I knew him to be a good man and capable physician yet he doubted himself in that moment. A priest is like a physician for our soul. Things don't always go the way we would like, but it's always in God's hands. Just know that you do help so many even if it's to give us words to share and in ways you will not be privy to until you meet our maker. And the physicians commenting, thank you too. Your job is so hard and I've learned a lot about life from some really great people with M.D. behind their name.

Henri Nouwen wrote a wonderful book called "Wounded Healer." That's what we all are: wounded healers. I believe even our Lord felt "depleted" at times during His ministry and needed rest.

@@lnl3237 I appreciate your words. I agree with you that as fallen human race we are easily depleted because of our sins we can’t hold well to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. But with all respect, Jesus can’t be depleted because he is God and nothing impossible for him. I would probably chose the word disappointed from some of the humans who refuse to join him to his eternal kingdom. Don’t worry, I often use wrong words to describe an idea. God bless you and Merry Christmas 🎄

@Arr Ow I just like the positivity. Doesn’t matter what you believe, be a good person and it feels good.

Come back to the baptist faith msn

I'm also an agnostic who enjoys this channel. Yet, I find there could really be more communication with atheists and agnostics and less about them. It's very much missionising top-down.

I want to be a police officer but I don’t have anything that could quality me such as drivering, running

You may not be able to change the world, but you can change your mind and when you do change your mind you change the world.

Amen ! 🙏

In the same boat as you and I could not have said it better myself.

@@vermontmike9800 Likewise

Thank you for sharing that man. I think a lot of Christians, myself included, can get a little too eager to get others to agree with everything we say. I like people who live the virtuous life and know it. Reading the Confucian classics, as well as listening to people like Father Casey, Jordan Peterson, and Bishop Barron has done me a lot of good over the past year. A beautiful life is a very attractive thing.

All the best with your journey!

Stop playing with faith, you're making fun of the concept of the spiritual world.

Why would life be short in Christ? Jesus IS the resurrection.

Did you get this mission from God himself? or from the book his supposed followers wrote? Its amazing seeing so many people dedicated to what is probably ancient stories. How do you know the God of the bible is the real God and not Krishna? or Zeus? Why choose Yahweh?

@@LisaAnn777 Why do you feel the need to ask them that? They chose to believe in christianity, like a large portion of the world, and they’ve interpreted their interest in healthcare as being part of their faith. It’s not that big of a deal.

@@galaxychar many people in religions all over the world claim to have a mission given by God, and alot of the times it's dangerous.

@@LisaAnn777 I believe in inherent in us. Sure, there's a lot of complexities of which is right or wrong, but I think God gave us the basic beliefs every normal human being shares and it pretty much is the 10 commandments. Thou shall not kill and such. Every normal human being doesn't look at a dead body and think, "oh goodie, a meal!" We all inherently know that's not a good sight. These basic laws are imbeded into us I think.

@@u.s.citizen9933I don't believe in a creator god anymore, I believe in many higher beings though that have always been here. the universe is eternal with no beginning or end. Before the expansion there was another universe that collapsed back into a singularity and this cycle of death and rebirth has gone on for eternity. Same with the gods and us. But the universe came before all beings. Consciousness is also a non local singularity. We are all one.

I love hearing a protestant giving warm and loving response on a Catholic channel instead of some of the usual vitriol and snarky remarks. They shall know we are Christians by our love. May the Holy Spirit break down the walls of division between christians.🙏

@@deedeeunkefer2270 Amen, my brother. BTW, I have said that Father Casey is an evangelical - he just doesn't know it :)

Amém 🙏🏼

Mental holiday...i like the idea👍

A million thank you's for not giving up, Fr Casey we need now we need tomorrow we just soo much more than you know 🛐 "Hope Pray & don't worry" 🙏 St Padre Pio ♥️

Viriliter age frater. "Be still and know that I AM GOD. I will be exalted in Heaven and on earth..." You are daily here in our prayers. Pax tecum, caro in Xpo.

Take a much needed sabbatical Fr Casey. Refresh your mind and spirit. Hang in there. Your subscribers need you.

Thank your time brother. Christ waits for you. 🤗

@Joe Walsh THe Mirror you look apon is Tarnished with Blindness.

@Joe Walsh The Irony of your comeback has been weak of late. You have too much anger in your Pathetic mind.

This is beautifully written, Amy. Thank you.

Do your time and don't complain.

Thank you, Amy, for your insights, your honesty, and above all, your service to suffering people.

Nurses are some of the real "unsung heroes" in each of our communities, even much more so during this pandemic. They deserve enormous gratitude from us all!

When u pray u should first pray to God(Jesus) cause nothing happens without allowing it. Sure He gave power to his disciples and Mother but nothing would happen without Him bc He works through them not theirselves bc they can't do anything without His power. So basically first pray to God and ask if He work through other disciples . Sure u can pray to the disciples for help or strength but remember God works through them and u should know that nothing happens without Him allowing it.

Come to the reformed gospel of faith alone

Dear Sean, I am watching his vids too, trying to find my way back home...

Same, bro

SAME! Fr. Casey has been such a gift in my conversion as well.

Fr. Casey. Hang in there. If u can make a difference in one person then it is worth it. You are not Savior of the world. Just do what u have been doing so well. God is in charge. God bless u n your ministry.

Your probably not really a Catholic, if you accept the anti pope Frankie and don’t to the Tridentine mass then your not Roman Catholic

@@dorcaswalker1867 Do you think the pope himself isn’t really a catholic? What gives you that authority, lmao?

Reinhold Niebuhr wrote it, or at least a version of it... Say It every day during my morning prayers.

It's often called the Serenity Prayer. It's heavily used in addiction recovery settings.

Nice story, sir. Most of the time we don't even realize what kind of influence we really have on other people. Moral teaching or endless preaching are not necessary at all. Simply acting as a nice, caring person with decency is enough.

Me too! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Grateful for you,Father….May God who has begun this great work in you,bring it to fruition. Blessings this Advent

Definitely watch the rest of the video! You'll be glad you did.

3 tours here, 1x Bosnia, 2x Afghanistan. And I can only agree..... God Bless!

Thank you for your service. God bless.

Well you don't have to remain an atheist. God allows UTurns. Time is short, don't delay, Jesus is waiting for you.

I tell atheists and homosexuals Who say they were born this way.... 1- you were born first of all in the natural, physical, we all were. 2- you must be born again. Born again means of the spirit Born by God. Only he(God) can do that.

@@eyemnew2991 And that is the sacrament of Confirmation. You make your decision at that time. You receive the Holy Ghost at that time.

@@carolyncouch4094 Are you catholic.

I'm also an atheist and learned long ago that I would not accomplish all I wanted to, nor was there any burden on me to do so. It's a liberating feeling, and makes me less judgmental of, and frustrated with both myself and others. It also frees me up to better accomplish what I can.

I agree too brother or sister! May we always be reminded to serve for His glory especially in our trials! ☝️

I love Lewis. I’ve thot on this saying of his many times over the years and it always touches me.

Re-use needle

Mother Teresa is not a saint, she was not even Catholic. She was evil, as is proven by Vatican catholics video about her.

AMEN

That is beautiful Yvonne. Bless you!

I relate. I am often frustrated by my sinful nature. I would love to wake up and be healed of my every vice and weakness

I just wanted you to know that I'm so happy you are going through RCIA! We welcome you to our Catholic faith! It is encouraging to hear that folks are still coming to the faith. In a time when it may not be socially acceptable to be religious, it means a lot to me to know people out there can see all the good things Catholicism has to offer. I am also going through a struggle with a family member. I can't fix it and I wish so much that I could. I have tried so many ways and nothing works. So I have to accept that I just can't fix this, at least now. Maybe God has another time and another way for me. God bless you on your journey 🙏

If you really want to help start calling yourselves guardians not parents. As an adoptee who was never wanted I can tell you that half truths are whole lies and you will never reach these kids at all until you reach out to them as helpful caring adults not as some kind of replacements for relationships that are not replaceable or equal. No parent is equal to another and some are no good at all to themselves or others. I wound up with four adults who were supposed to be legally responsible for me two of them were my parents who at 21 could not think of anyone but themselves, so they sold me to people to cover my mother's hospital stay who couldn't even be fully responsible for a cat let alone a rejected child. The lies I was told growing up and the hurtful untrue things that were said to me and the isolation and emotional and sexual abuse were worse than being aborted. I forgive my parents one of which died before I found my family who were all told I had died of a heart defect and I have put my legal guardians in God's hands to deal with as God sees fit. But what happened to me and worse is what happens to other kids that is as bad or worse than I experienced is not ok and If you call yourself a believer you are under Gods law to treat them as the bible says the fatherless the orphaned and the oppressed are to be treated. When you reach the last of your reserves pray because giving up on them is not an option ever if you are a follower of the way and not a worshiper of what feels good at the moment.

​@@songoftheblackunicorn666 ​ I appreciate your response and experience as an adoptee and your concern for others in similar situations. I want to start by saying I respect and honor your experience and I think you share a lot in common with the trauma and agony that our foster kids have gone through. I cannot imagine the emotional and physical pain you have endured and I would not wish that on anyone. Children deserve so much more than an experience like that. Some of the kids who have been in our home have gone through similar things (though none quite the same). It's just terrible and it breaks my heart to ever hear it happened again. I think we might have some miscommunication about some parts of my post. I hope to clarify some things in hopes we can reach a greater understanding. First, my wife and I are primarily foster parents, not adoptive parents. So far, we've had more than two dozen kids come through our home over the past 10 years, but none of them have stayed and been adopted by us. Most of them just stayed with us for a few days or weeks and then moved back home with their biological family. Another was unable to stay in our home for safety reasons and had to be moved elsewhere. But we don't try to replace their family. For the kids who have stayed with us longer, we have tried to "parent" them as best as we can and know how. We always try to do our best for the child and many who are now older come back to see us. One kid who stayed with us for 2 years before going back home to his dad's house calls us his "step-parents" and comes by to see us even though we don't have any legal guardianship with him. He just considers us part of his family now. Where I live, the government defines legal terms for biological parent, foster parent, adoptive parent, and legal guardian. The term 'guardian' is specific where I live and means something different from what my wife and I do. My wife and I do not approach it as trying to replace the biological parents. In fact, of the kids who have stayed in our home, we always try to have a positive, supportive relationship with the biological family and it has worked out wonderfully as we all get to have a good relationship with the kids and each other. When I say things like "various levels of success" or "give up that need to be successful", I don't mean give up on the child. I mean that I need to give up my own expectations for the kind of deep connection I envisioned when I got trained to be a foster parent. Even if I told some kids the whole truth, which I try to do every day, some kids have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, self-loathing, etc. I cannot fix those things. It will take years and years of therapy and the love and support of many people and the grace and movement of God to repair the damage done by their biological parents and others around them who contributed to the trauma. One person sows the seed, another waters, but God makes it grow. I haven't given up on any child yet, even the one who was forced to leave for safety reasons. I still hope and pray we can be a part of their life when things are safe again. I just want to end by saying again that I am so sorry to read about how much you went through as a child. Each of those things were burdens you should not have had to bear. I don't know your real name, but I will pray for you and hope that you have found healing in God and in positive relationships now that you are older. You have my very best, NP

@@ninjaphobos thank you for what you do most foster care givers are knowingly participating in legalized human trafficking and I wholly appreciate the difference in what you are doing. thank you for being good to the little ones.And be of good cheer there is always hope.

Praise the Lord. Ask St Padre Pio to help your journey, and you will see results!!

So true :)

Dear Fr. Casey, the best Doctor is in the Chapel. Give Him a visit; talk things over with Him and He'll give you the power of the Holy Spirit.
