Lisa, of course. But we are all biased in one way or another about something or other. My family’s life was enriched by knowing Father Grieschel. We will always be grateful for his warmth and kindness.
“...with true sincerity, not a lot of theological chacha” That’s what most people want nowadays... your heart! To experience a pure and good heart is exceptional. Rather than being bombarded with facts, where’s your heart at? I love sincerity.
God bless father Benedict Groshelle and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Both inspired me to work with the poorest of the poor in my city and seeing Jesus in them.
Mother Teresa cared for her sisters, and provided the best available for them. I knew her sisters very well. Fr. Benedict Groeschel's degree is from Columbia U. I wish he had attended Steubenville. Lower back pain is SELDOM psychosomatic; that widespread opinion was developed to cover diagnostic incompetents; LBP can be a valuable leading symptom. Ignoring such symptoms led to prolonged suffering and near death in some cases. I say this not to criticise Fr. Benedict, as such opinions were widespread in his time, but to encourage such sufferers to take their pain seriously, and keep going until they receive a valid diagnosis.
Deirdre McNamara I'm a nurse and agree lower back pain is real. Nursing the ill,dying, sick is very hard work. I imagine some were not cut out for that difficult of work.
Many saints were not the easiest to get along with. Think of the conflict of St. Paul and St Barnabas. Saints are directed by the spirit and can be quite militant and blunt about it. They are not perfect people, but people who try their best with what they know to follow Christ.
stillwill2215 it sure looks that way ,theres something far wrong going on in the souls of these people ,judging by these comments over the top think were all needing to pray to the holy spirit (the evil of the tongue )
stillwill2215 Yes and No. It seems to be more broad - things and people who were/are idols are exposed as frauds, hence turning "good" into bad. It also means that things which are truly good things, are now bad - homosexuality is now mostly accepted in a positive light, pedophilia is on it's way it seems, Jesus/Christianity was a good thing to be associated with and now it's a stigma to even mention being a believer, and so on. There is much more but anyone with the ability to see objectively can see society is breaking down.
No stillwill2215, I don't think it's that cut and dry, after listening to his first criticism about treating back pain you have look at st. Bernadette and her cancer. Nuns have a different perspective about God and sacrifices than priest. Priest are in churches every day and look at the world and God from that perspective. When they do come back from missionary work it's not unusual seeing them on their back porch sipping a beer, I'm not being cynical, orders like the sisters of charity are far away from world views and norms, their's is a life of sacrifice, very difficult to perceive their world even for this priest. I was speaking to priest about an incident that happened to me and he said he didn't have a martyrs complex. I'm just wondering about his motivation to say this on film, did he just extend his purgatory time?
I have recited the Novena dedicated to Mother Teresa for intercession on my behalf and have received favorable results to my prayers. I'm not a Catholic and not religious. I had an urgent need that needed immediate results and my prayers were answered. Thank you for your intercession Mother Teresa. And for all the non believers give her Novena prayer a try and see the amazing intercession of this Blessed Virgin Saint.
I MET THIS REMARKABLE WOMAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SHE PUT HER HAND ON MY HEAD AND SAID BLESS YOU CHILD, MY SON WAS VERY YOUNG AND SHE PUT HER HAND ON HIS HEAD AND SAID BLESS YOU CHILD AND HE TOLD HER HE WANTED TO GO TO MCDONALDS SHE SMILE AGAIN.
Lower back pain can mean many things, I don't believe it's in a persons head. I thank God everyday for my great health and one of the things I thank him for, is my strong back. God is good🙏🏼
Mother Teresa pray for us, intercede for us and bless us. Through your powerful intercession please bless us to be humble, holy, obedient, committed, desciplined, prayerful ,kind, compassionate, graceful, motivated catholic family a great blessing to all around us Salt of the earth light of the world. Thank you holy Trinity. (Australia, Melbourne , Victoria).
With all respect, you're talking to a dead person. Necromancy, according to scripture. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There's no harm in asking those among the living to intercede for us, but you're asking a dead human woman and frankly, a pretty heretical one, to pray for you.
mother teresa, padre pio, saint bernadette or st therese - i like reading the memoirs of those who lived with them and it seems always difficult to live with any saint - their radical dedication to God challenges you and is demanding ....everything else than easygoing lullaby....
Remember, also, that, dead men [in this case, a dead woman] tell no tales. Hence, why people can & will write about her so-called "evil" doings, since she can't, nor would she care to, defend herself, otherwise, had she still been alive. When you take care of the poor masses as long as she has, in the country she has, your skin THICKENS. Ask ANY doctor or nurse. Yet, those people CONTINUE to help others. Yes, their occupations are paid for, which is the driving force behind the motive, but, try & talk about a nurse, or a doctor in this manner, & they will continue their occupation & mission all the same. This is what Mother Theresa has done. The majority of you would not last a month. [Notice I ddnt say - all of you].
One can only be 'hurt' when one's OWN expectations have not been met. Good intentions may not always be appreciated by those on the outside looking in, but they are no less honorable. Mother Theresa (as am I) are at the very least, authentic.
Saint or not, Mother Teresa helped the poor and the unwanted..We are not perfect beings..she might have had flaws but I believe in the end we are judged by the love we have in our hearts...she had plenty of love for those who were unloved by society. May Lord bless those like MT, they are few in the world.
No fair person denies that she is humanitarian kind servant but not saint. No one knows except God. Anyways, whether she was a saint or not, God bless her soul and look at the needy ones and poors whom she rescued and helped and look at her acts and heart.
I just wonder, why did she go to the hospital while ill instead of staying at one of her facilities? That's what's bothering me... Isn't it a bit inconsistent?
She was 100% for Jesus, mind, body & spirit. She lived for God... sometimes God's work isnt fun that's why we needed Jesus' sacrificeon calvary. The Lord never promised life wouldbe fun..
I just wonder, why did she go to the hospital while ill instead of staying at one of her facilities? That's what's bothering me... Isn't it a bit inconsistent?
Well I've met her in real when I was 12, there's no one like her, I've been to the sisters of charity home in our city if any of you can do what those sisters do I'll call the Saint evil.
she's in heavenly glory at this moment and beyond the critics. one thing I always notice, where are the good deeds of the critics? you can hear the crickets chirp in the hollow space where there is nothing to show
what was the last time any of you have attempted to help others? she spent the majority of her life helping the dirty and diving to simply have some moments of humanity. Grow your spiritual vision and life! ! !
James Casey Since she was twelve years old she was helping her mother tend to the poor until she died at 92. But these evil legion on here know their "truth".
The title of this video is incomplete. Yes, Mother Teresa was very demanding--difficult, but that doesn't deny what the good father says at the end: "She was the prophetess of our time." Having been around movers and shakers, we really don't understand them in our mundane, mediocre lives. Most of us are just too steeped into living our lives. She had a vision that was not easily grasped.
In an 1989 interview with Time Magazine, she stated she, 'loves all Religion.' This is a heretical statement against the One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Religion established by Jesus Christ. This is not what a Saint would say and I do hope she repented on her death bed. Most Sacred of Heart of Jesus have Mercy on us!
Jesus loved the Samaritans and spoke positively about them in parables etc even though they were not the true religion and were hated by the Jews. You have to see these comments in context.
The Anchorites Loving Struggle You are right when you say that God judges the heart. But, He never said we couldn’t judge actions. After all, Jesus said “By their fruits you will know them” and that a “bad tree does not produce good fruit.” I steongly disagree that Mother Theresa was truly a saint. Since Mother Theresa did not want to help covert Muslims and Hindus to Christianity, that is contrary to the teachings of the gospel. Not only that, Mother Theresa believed that all religions believe in the same god. This is flat out heresy. Jesus clearly said that “no one goes to the father execpt through the son.” Clearly there’s no other way to God than through Jesus Christ. If you don’t believe the evidence I provided then you are spiritually blind and a heretic yourself. I will pray for your conversion to true Catholicity. May God give you His wisdom to see the world for what it is.
Nope. A saint does not leave you feeling down, frustrated or humiliated. A true saint leaves you feeling elevated, full of spiritual energy, eager to follow up in his/her footsteps, and do something to help people and improve the status of their body and soul.
A true saint would not leave a starving person unfed or a naked man unclothed. A true saint would provide at least the bare necessities of hygiene and hydration, which were discovered to have been sorely unprovided for all those whom MT allegedly 'loved'.
@@lindakachur4862 you need to do more research on what she provided when she found people in need. She was late to a speaking engagement which was a way to support her charity. When they went out to look for her, she was helping a homeless man outside that dozens of others had passed by without a second glance. There are many such eyewitness accounts of her love for mankind. We would do well to be one one hundret as loving as she was. If you get to heaven, she will be there to greet you despite your pettiness. I am not saying she was perfect but she was closer to it than most people I know.
"Nobody is always right ?.....one of the person that was always right they've crucified him ! ...we should not hear a comment like that from a servant of God
Here's a quote connected to her "I love all religions. ... If people become better Hindus, better Muslims, better Buddhists by our acts of love, then there is something else growing there." I wonder if she ever said something like this on camera.
What she spouted was sheer blasphemy... And, something out of the Vatican, the one world, one government, one religion version of future hell on earth.
Do you know that she was prevented from trying to convert Indians by the Indian government? She helped them and loved them the best that she could. In that way she was a Christian example.
And would it be so wrong to share the gospel if she was truly a believer? Of course not. To be a believer means to desire the salvation of all persons, period. What would be bad, would be if she made converting to her faith a condition of helping you.
Thank you. Mother Teresa was, and and continues to be my source of inspiration. We come to a crossroad in life. We can say "yes" or ignore the invitation. I said, "yes" and it took me on a new direction. May she continue to be a source of inspiration in our lives.
Come on we see this time and time again people come in the good will of the lord but have evil agendas. . she was nothing new. If I didn't love princess Diana I wouldn't even know about this mother whom ever
"It wasn't fun dealing with mother Teresa....imagine dealing with Jesus Christ ". ... blasphemy at its best! She was not Jesus. Noone can come close to Jesus! no human can compare to HIM. This man speaks in foolish words.
How is that Blasphemy ? He's merely saying that Jesus would expect more from him. He never said she was Jesus or the equivalent . She's just has a high position in the church." Imagine dealing with Jesus." He said that because we're not perfect in the eyes of God.
She had daily visitations from Jesus as told by Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj the great prophet from India who has one of the largest media ministries in the world; Angel tv. Whoever loves Christ dearly is always forsaken, Mother Teresa was one of them. Yes, she might have told the nuns to give their pains to Jesus because Mother herself practiced it and never complained about it.
Jesus said not to call anyone father (catholic priest). We have one Father and He is in Heaven! That command is written in the Bible. So, how does the Catholic Church ask this of worshipers? And the Bible says nothing about worshipping Mary. Bamboozalers! No, there are no more prophets because Jesus said it best. Who can teach us better? The Bible is perfect. We have no need for any human being to tell us what it means.
Linda Keaton you need to get on a anti-catholic website. You sound like a broken record with a typical Protestant bologna about the Catholic Church. Get educated first
The rope is part of what's called his habit, or uniform, which comes from Saint Francis of Assisi back in the day using a simple rope as a belt. There are three knots hanging down his waist (which you can't see in this video because he is sitting down) to represent his vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. There is also a large Rosary hanging on his left side (if you look closely in the beginning you can see some of the beads. Peace, friend!
You have to earn it. You must travel to the ancient mountain fortress of Dual-Hing and defeat 3 giants in single combat using only the 8 points of contact.
Give it to God...ok God made things here to help yourself with...Cain was a murderer and God protected him.She could have used the money from the missionaries to help ease the pain from medicines.God wants you to lean on him after all the other resources hes provided hasnt worked.Imagine how it is for God to have you calling on him 24/7 about pain whenhe had the resources and the intelligence provided on earth to help you...like if you have ears to hear..then use them.God gave us all common sense for a reason
She doesn't look much like a saint to me. the Holy Spirit is dwells within a saint,and it's light shine through that person. she resembles a witch to me.
Why didn’t she use the millions for the purpose they were intended? She erringly valued suffering more than anything which is NOT biblical. It is written, “To obey is better than sacrifice”. So sad. Personal suffering does not get you saved, sanctified, or justified. Jesus paid that price.
lenny harry Because you even know who Father Benedict Groshell was. He was in a very serious pedestrian vs car accident and appears to be in recovery from that in this video, but your assumptions must be the real story.
I have nothing really to say of her except that she was very very deceived, ! I don’t know if she will be in heaven or not, but I hope that she was able to find the Lord before she passed.
those few comments that are here are horrifying. how can any sane person call her a saint? She was wicked to the bone - a psychopath that took delight in the suffering of others. Religion never is the answer to, but often is the source of problems.
ABaumstumpf Atheism, it's what's on the menu. Didn't work to well last century. How many million killed for atheism. You better check yourself my friend .
Just because your limited test can't explain why there is pain Does NOT mean the pain is imagined And to gripe Mother is too much like Christ !?! What a kook. To offer your pain to God is Long Standing practice, not an intervention of Mother. If we are all members of Christ & this guy actually is....Mother would be the heart or loving arms, while this guy would be the middle finger
All this criticism of Mother Theresa of Calcutta is pure bullshit. She is a saint because Almighty God wants her to be a saint. She lived and dressed as all the poor people she cared for. She didn't force anyone of her followers to do anything. If they didn't like or couldn't do the work, they could have left as some actually did. So stop this stupid bullshit: Mother Theresa of Calcutta is a holy saint of God for the whole world! AMEN AND AMEN.
allroadsleadto Rome 😈 shee was pure evil bitch. UGLY, IN AND OUT. a true Abomination. I am 65, I WAS there...., She was black, darkness, very very bad bad vibes, even my dog senses it the first time we were in "contact". for a start she had everything of a man, something, very disturbing,, now i have good reasons to believe she was one second, he never realises that these people were believing in reincarnation, , shhe did not give a shit about their beliefs., NOR their soul, nor their bodies, ... I wanted to expose her, my husband stopped me, warning me who was covering her dirty crimes, , I was sick, of rage, powerless.we left , 😈She was just a member of the kazhar mafia, ,,😈, wake up !, She was protected, by Dirty Vatican , every traffic you can think of, You have no idea, , children, organes, drug, money, human, churches, red cross , humanitarian organisations, , diplomates, are the passers, we are in 2017 everyone knows that , now !! Why the hell the Vatican is a Bank ?.....Explain, please. ..?... Believe what you want, dirty piece of shit, BURN IN HELL, 👹👹👹 Thereso, pedophile, in , the 7th level, the one we never come back.
yukil dom GOD BLESS YOU.MAY HIS PEACE AND LOVE WILL RENEW YOUR MIND.LET GO OF ALL ANGER AND LET JESUS CHRIST COMFORT YOU.PRAY FOR YOURSELF THAT JESUS WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SPIRIT.DEATH IS CERTAIN AT YOUR AGE.DONT DIE WITH OUT THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST.READ YOUR BIBLE AND ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE YOU IN ALL TRUTH ABOUT GRACE AND HUMILITY OF HEART..JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH....
Why even bother to defend Mother Theresa. In John 15:18 Jesus cautions, '"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first". Yet He compels that we love one another. A worldly people find it hard to grasp true selflessness. So rather than value her love and giving of herself to the plight of the poor and neglected people, they focus on money that I am certain none of them contributed to. Don't forget Jesus was crucified by people who SAW Him do the GREAT WORKS!
And Billy Graham predicted the same and I predicted the same as well just this past year. Jesus wasn't wrong when he said nobody knows the exact time including himself, only the father knows. We are all to live as though the time is in our lifetime because it is very very near from an eternal standpoint even if it's another thousand years. But when you look at where we are with technology and men beginning to play God and the world morals particularly if you investigate the sex trade and trafficking you can clearly see that it won't be another 1000 years. It could be anytime. Focus on your eternal sole and getting right with Jesus and God as your father before he has to be your judge, not the accusations the devil makes to you about Jesus......
Most Catholic theologians believe Jesus was predicting the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, which occurred in 70AD and was the final end of the old testament age.
Who said she was to be a lot of fun? This man is a flaw of the church, one of the fallen ones, not her. She served Jesus first, her church second. The church is flawed by man/men. This man needs to realize and find his Faith again.He really needs to get over his own ego. Yes, he does like to lick his wounds. Jealousy and arrogance are the flaws he shows.It would be interesting to know if he himself took a vow of poverty?
Marianne MacArthur before you post such things you should know more about who you are talking about. If you couldn't tell this has been edited as well, and he is speaking up for her beatification.
Mike Knapp If you listened to the video you would understand he is saying she was difficult because she had her own way of doing things which sometimes rubbed people wrong. But he states she truly was blessed with a vision to do Christ's work. I really loved Father Groshell. Was able to hear him speak once up here in Washington State.
Raymond eslbury you know I cant answer this it could have been the church ,but what I do know is we never get told the truth and I recon we never will ,but devout true to god catholics we must remain I wont let anyone (Vatican down)get in my way of my trust in god .jesus said he had no one to leave his church to but man
One word. Indulgences. No body, not even the Pope in Rome, knows what happens after death. But it certainly was a good way for the church to become as wealthy as it is now.
