St. John of the Cross: Cautions About The Devil 

JMJ True Devotion to Mary, St. Louis Marie de Montfort 'To Jesus through Mary'. you surely mean this, don't you?

No, it is to dedicate yourself to Jesus so that you may have a closer relationship with God. John 14: 6-7 states, "Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him." Although the Virgin is blessed among women, the Bible is clear that Mary’s unique position as the mother of Jesus did not give her any more access to God (or Jesus) than another believer in Christ is given. Jesus addressed this in Luke 11:27-28 which reads, "As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He [Jesus] replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it by emphasizing that it’s more blessed to be a follower of Christ than to be the mother of Christ." Also, many followers of those times and even today did not and do not have access to a rosary, pray to the Virgin for intercession, or wear a metal. Did and does this make Jesus less accessible? They are only tools that help in your holy life, but not a vital means to access Jesus.

@@DiaFollicle you misunderstood that passage, What do I make of Jesus' reaction here? He risks being blunt with the woman in the crowd and dismissive of his mother. What is he getting at? What does he really want to say? What does it say to me? Here is an encounter with a woman who is attracted, adoring, and envious of Jesus' mother. He responds unexpectedly, not downgrading Mary, but pointing to the source of her blessedness, as her cousin Elizabeth did at the Visitation: Blessed is she who believed in the Lord's promise. There is an echo here of Mary's Magnificat: Henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Luke points to Mary as the one who pondered God's words (hesitating at the Annunciation), kept them in her heart and reflected back on them when she went down to Nazareth. To receive the word of God is a greater gift in the eyes of Jesus than to receive the body of Jesus in the womb. Mary is richly blessed - more for her receiving the word of God in her life and living by it, than being the physical mother of God. Prayer is the time we give in our lives, even daily, to receiving the word of God.

@@Rene-uj5vw Good morning and thank you for your insightful interpretation of scripture.

@@immanuelsebastine9274 Start with Luke. Then the finding in the temple, then the wedding feast at Cana. At the Crucifiction Jesus said "Woman behold your son, son behold your mother. The uneducated say Jesus called Mary His mother woman again. Jesus let's us know Mary is the new Eve, the Woman, the mother of the Kingdom of God. Protestantism had to separate from Catholicism and not only dropped 7 books of the bible, they sent Jesus's words on eating His Body and drinking His Blood or you will not have Life in you. Mary the new Eve, Jesus the new Adam. Adam and Eve sinned and brought evil to humankind. Jesus and Mary are without sin and the Redemtion of mankind was now completed. Pray for the conversion of sinners.

Lol I was thinking the same thing🤣 I listened twice because his voice is so relaxing

JMJ brother, i would advice you to pay attention to what is said, than to the sayer. For the latter distracts you and also not good for a priest to hear such things often, except only when he is a truly a master in a spiritual life, in which none can boast save The Lord Alone. God Love and Bless you. Pax Christi!

Cdiwins1 Except for this priest is fierce. He leads into battle and would offer his life. I don’t know who he is, but he is a central figure in my life.

@Man I'll Probably regret this Interesting how he sounds differently to us. I see him as moderating his voice to proclaim a fervent message. He is so direct in delivering uncomfortable, concrete, and at times, frightening truths. I attend to each word.

@Man I'll Probably regret this with love does not mean weak

@Man I'll Probably regret this You've got the wrong guy, I promise you. In some of his other homilies he's all but shouting. Listen to more of homilies to get a better sense of him.

Amen

Thank you!

JMJ God Bless you, brother!

@@briankFF247 So much for his anonymity. Lol.

@@danielpadilla4438 // S.J. California?

yes! Fr says something about SSPX chapels (which i sometimes attend) but unsure if in a positive or negative way. I wish Fr would speak up sometimes.

And I thought it's me! 😆 English not my mother tongue.

You can try adjusting your speaker settings through your operating system. I'm not sure about Mac, but Windows has a variety of "effects" that decrease the echo.

Amen! 1 John 5:18

@@anthonyambuul9621 THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People who hold true to the traditions and beliefs of the Catholic Church, Pre-Vatican II.

tim spangler 1) It's important that you don't ask people to "prove" anything to you because what you are really doing, whether you know it or not, is looking for a way to argue. You know this is true by the simple fact that you are fully capable of FULLY studying the writings of the early Church Fathers to find the truth yourself. 2) Not all Tradition came from the mouth of Christ but rarher through the action of the Holy Paraclete as discribed in John 14: 16, 26. So, in effect, yes Tradition can be proven to come from Jesus in as much as He instructed how and by Whom Tradition would be formed and ratified.

Leftenant Malachi So you reject Vatican II? Are you saying that no one holds the keys right now. Because what Jesus implied was that the Petrine succession would continue to the end of the age. You cannot be Catholic and decide you know better than the pope and the Magisterium.

Leftenant Malachi is this your channel, or were you just giving your answer?

In the traditional, and by the way the only catholic Mass the priest faces God and the Mass is spoken in Latin. In the post Vatican 2 the Mass they created is a new religion where the Priest faces the people instead of God and “Mass” is spoken in English. Look for a traditional Catholic parish. God Bless.

David Romero no pope has said that about Novus ordo ordinations.

Man get real... what are you complaining about? Adjust your audio and use headphones if necessary. The priest speaks slowly and clearly. I can understand each and every word, and I started learning English in high school when I was about 16 so it is not even my first language.

@@hicnar same thing with me...

👍🙏🙏

There's a difference in consecration the new supposedly priests not being truly concentrated especially if they're being consecrated under the new Rite of consecration they're not even priests

:(

This priest wouldnt have preached Thus if it wasnt for the sspx.

I have found FSSP priests to be ungrateful for the SSPX. If not for Lefebvre, they would not exist. The position of FSSP in relationship with Bergolio is contradictory and duplicitous, to my mind. Authentic, faithful clergy MUST RESIST Bergolio, entirely, if not, then they straddle the fence in pursuit of their own interest. The SSPX, from what I have heard, refer to the FSSP faction as "bootlickers." Perhaps it is true. I pray and urge you to do the same, that the Holy Ghost heal the divisions among Traditional clergy, both correcting and consoling. Please pray the ROSARY DAILY as Our Most Holy Mother requests, repeatedly.

Nidusqual sorry couldn’t remember your name thank you you are right,I am one of They parishioners our parish priest used to take a native (holy?) stick to the altar,said take a good look at my priestly collar as you won’t see it again to a dear old friend who told him Fr it’s so good to see you wear your collar.Married divorced people and gave Holy Communion to them,and told the priest who came to help out “don’t think your doing that Latin thing here” Fr did Latin mass in hospital chapel I went there,my granddaughter at the Catholic school the teacher said to class “there is no hell” Elise my grand daughter” miss there is we pray the rosary and there is a hell, Muslim school captain in catholic school, the list goes on,very sad state of affairs.For one I thank God that the priest who did the Latin mass showed up in my parish yes he was stood down for continuing to say the mass when told to stop so we go to his mass and will continue as a family to go.If he is not in parish I don’t care he preaches the truth, I cannot go back to the parish there are more things I could write but I don’t want to keep going on. I just pray for all priests and laity to be faithful to our God and yes He will fix out what’s going on.God Bless all Catholics

Nidusaquilae76 thank you Fr for your service.God bless
