Fr. Mark I Believe God has given me so much Grace and I do Believe in my heart that when I worked as an ICU Nurse .. I knew whatever the outside world was up to , “ I better walk into that patients Room like Jesus Christ himself sent me .. Viva Cristore
@sandrasasso5657 My name is Denise (using my husband’s acct).wow, Sandra your comment really touched my heart! May God bless you & all the patients you treated, I’m sure they felt the presence of Jesus each and every time. You were & still are, truly the hands & feet of Christ, thank you🙏🏻
I was listening to St Gemma's life story thru youtube many years ago. If I remember I found her very beautiful and very brave for taking so many afflictions from the devil. St. Gemma pray for us! 🙏🙏🙏
💚 Gospel of Mark 2:14 💚 " Jesus said, 'Follow me. " What a delightful and uplifting little sermonette, dear Father Mark! :) I really needed this breath of fresh air today! Thanks be to God! Praise be Jesus Christ! 💚 All the Angels and Archangels, please pray for us!🙏 💚 Saint Paul, I love you, please pray for us!🙏 💚 Saint Gemma of Galgani, Flower of Lucca, I love you, please pray for us!🙏 Become FIRE 🔥 of love, IGNITE LIVES! 💚🔥Viva Cristo Rey!🔥💚
Thank you Fr. Mark, for this very inspiring homily. I’m certainly not at St. Gemma Galgani’s level, but I have noticed that I feel closer to the Lord when I pray the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary. Dear St. Gemma Galgany pray for us! God bless you Fr. Mark.🙏🏻🕊

St Gemma is my favorite saint and I have the very same book as you! She has given me direct consolations in my various afflictions. I also highly recommend her autobiography and diary which can be found for free online. Viva Cristo Rey
@Reaganww I love her too, she’s one of my favs, I’ve read a tiny book on her years ago. Is her autobio & diary the same or two different books? Thanks (I’m Denise not Mark btw)
@markmitchell3028 Awesome! The autobiography and diary were originally published separately but thankfully you can buy them together as one book very easily now. If you google search St Gemma Autobiography and Diary you should be able to find it. It has a light blue cover and the publisher is a very devout Catholic.
I’m struggling with carrying my cross. I try to look to Louisa Picarreta, a true victim soul who spent her life contemplating the passion of our Lord. I am also only on the inside cover.
Just love your phrase “ in the Catholic sense of things.” 😆 I agree - I am nowhere near embracing crosses yet. I can accept and endure but to embrace now that’s the challenge. St. Gemma, pray for us.
I love St Gemma Galgani . That was the name of my Parish in Caracas , Venezuela 37 years ago. She is a nostalgic tender memory in my childhood days. She reminded me that the sufferings of the present day can't compare the JOY to come in our heavenly dwelling one day. Pray for us St Gemma❤

Thank you Fr. Mark. I look forward to each message and Praise God for your enthusiasm for delivering them. I have recognized angels in my life in so many instances recently literally holding me up when I was about to fall, no human around. Humans who helped me when I was in need of help getting out of the surf in Florida when I did get knocked down, helping me on a trip when phone was dead, no bus shuttle to hotel, who were attending same convention at different hotel, help from co-worker to get around these huge airports with luggage. I could go on. They are real!

Fr Mark, why has it become so popular for priests to almost exalt "messiness" rather than clean up the mess! Pope Francis has popularized this sentiment, it seems because he's quite content - even seems to want to promote - a mess. Get to the source of the mess, which is heretical and apostate Pope, some Cardinals, bishops and priests. And, I'm sincerely sorry, but also priests and laity who have become habituated into accepting and tolerating horrifically unprecedented scandal, anti-Catholicism and perhaps the rise of the anti-Christ from within the Church! Please, Fr Mark, for the sake of the salvation of souls - call a spade a spade and address the very real and unambiguous evil problem of the present papacy and his followers. Do you remember that over 1,500 prominent, internationally-recognized Catholic theologians have called for the bishops to declare Pope Francis a heretic so that the Church can get beyond the present and very obvious apostasy from within the Church at the highest level of the papacy and elect a true pope. That very righteous letter was signed and sent in Easter of 2019. Fr Mark - it's now 2023 and we the laity need priests like you to take a stand and implore the bishops to do what they need to do. CLEAN UP THE MESS RATHER THAN PRETEND THAT GRIEVIOUSLY EVIL MESSES SHOULD BE TOLERATED AND ACCEPTED.
Fr. Mark Goring is the only Catholic Priest I know of in Canada, 🇨🇦, that speaks about suffering and Sainthood and the Mystics and Out Lady. I hope some of the seminarians are watching this channel. In my Parish, I bring my Prayer books and pray through the pointless homilies.
What a mindful sermon & yes, I am thankful for my faith 🙏. Look to the Cross & the blessing's that we receive 🙏. Thank you Father Mark & may my Guardian Angel guide me closer to Jesus 😇🙏
Speaking of Matthew Kelly, I'm reading his brand new 1st Novel right now, it's called "The Rocking Chair Prophet" by Matthew Kelly...& wow! It's really gut-wrenchingly POWERFUL!! I didn't want to put it down yesterday, & today I look forward to reading more! Are any of you reading it too?
I have a few books by Matthew Kelly. I have started my first one during the last Lent, but between Father Mark's School of Reading books and Father Bob Bedard books, (Founder of the Companions of the Cross), I have abandoned Matthew Kelly for now...😊🙏

St. Gemma is a beautiful soul I read that bk in the 90s. I got my book from, Tradition Family Property (TFP) they sell some of TANs books. TAN books is the publisher a very good source for Books on the saints, especially the older books. I was blessed to get a relic of her.🙏 So happy you found that bk Fr Mark She use to send her Angel with a letter to her confessor and he would write a reply and give it back to the Angel. Her confessor is a blessed if I recall.
Hi Fr. Mark. I'd always thought that St. Gemma was British untilI read a short paragraph about her online. I've another book about St. Gemma Galgani's life (different than yours). Unfortunately, the author made St. Gemma sound very whiny and I gave up reading it after 2 chapters.☹️ I'll try to get the one you're reading as I, too, am intrigued by her life especially her friendship with angels. About 6 months ago, I dreamt of my guardian angel: a boy with straight blonde hair with fringe cut just above the eyes. He was supposedly 13 but looked about 10. He came to hug me and I felt cared for. But I'm cautious about these dreams as some could be diabolical, like the ones I had about Pope Francis. In the meantime, I'll continue reading my book because you brought back the excitement about St. Gemma's life. God bless.🙏🙏
God bless you James! 💚🙏 The same thing happened to me when I read the first book that I was given about Saint Padre Pio...it didn't agree with me ...the second one, my husband picked out, and I absolutely loved it...The moral of the lesson is be careful who you let pick out books for you to read, he he LOL! 💚🙏💚
♥️ *”It is not enough to look at the cross, or to wear it, we must carry it in the depths of our heart.” - St. Gemma Galgani* Beautiful homily!! ♥️ I loved learning about St. Gemma Galgani. Now, I want to read the book “The Life of St. Gemma Galgani,” by her spiritual director Venerable Fr. Germanus, C.P., (which would also be a good future recommendation for the “School of Reading” 📚😊) and I’m pretty sure I’ll be adding St. Gemma to my list of favourite saints. 😇 Our heavenly intercessors are amazing!! Thank you Father Mark, you continue to teach me so much and strengthen my faith every day. God bless you always!! ❤️🔥 Words of Our Lord Jesus to St. Gemma in an ecstasy: “My child, I have need of victims; strong victims, in order to appease the just anger of my Divine Father. I need souls who, by their sufferings, trials and sacrifices, make amends for sinners and for their ingratitude. Oh, if I could make all understand how angry My Father is by the impious world!” ♥️ “You must accept your cross; if you bear it courageously it will carry you to Heaven.” - St. John Vianney St. Gemma Galgani and St. John Vianney, pray for us! 🙏🏼 ♥️ Viva Cristo Rey! ♥️
Amen! This truly is a beautiful homily💚, dear sister in Christ Terri! 💚 Thank you for the beautiful quotes! Love Saint Gemma of Galgani 💚, love Saint John Vianny💚, love Saint Paul💚, and love all His Holy Angels and Archangels!😇💚😇 What's not to love💚 here?!? God bless you and please know that you are always in my prayers! 💚🔥💚
Love the Blessed Mother! Pray to her as never before! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray the Rosary daily for her intentions. Love her by living in the Divine Will of her Son, Jesus.
"Pray TO her as never before" wow😳 and why? She isn't God. why would we do that? Jesus said: pray to the Father in my name. Why don't you do what Jesus says? There is no one single verse in the whole Bible where Jesus talks about praying to Mary. Not one.
Saint Gemma has been my patron Saint, since I have learned about her. Read her life story twice and have 9 letters written to Fr. Germanus. Father you will smile when you read pages 104-108 of her book, by Fr. Germanus 🙏 St. Gemma’s determination.🙏. God Bless
Amen Amen exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you Fr Mike. Thank you for the Cross Jesus, thank you for pouring yourself out for us, thank you for your unconditional, pure and endless Love

St Gemma is indeed a great Saint. I read the same book and have often wondered if the author embellished the story of her life. I still don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore. Holy Mother Church has declared her to be a Saint, and that's good enough for me. I still have a devotion to her and always will. She's a Saint for our times. And our times NEED great Saints. Glory to God that he Loves us so much.
We need to pray for Priest 🙏 Just like Jesus they are being attacked by the world. They guid us to God (if we choose God.) Mother Mary pray for our Priest who lead us to your Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
I love this teaching. Recently a month ago I was privileged to attend the service of Fr. Jim Blount at London and we were able to kiss the relic of St. Gemma Galgani which is when I went to read more about her. Today I learnt even more. St. Gemma pray for us. 🙏🔥
The thing that I like about this Gospel is that the demons beg Jesus to send them into the swine and He LISTENS TO THEM! God created everything, even these demons. Jesus loves these demons and gives them what they desire and proves to us that Jesus is indescribably good and incomprehensibly loving.
Thanks Fr Mark. Saint Gemma is one of my favourite Saints, one story about her that I love is, she was a beautiful young woman (and several men proposed to her, but she had vowed chastity) and one day she went to buy some new clothes and the man who owned the shop thought that this young, beautiful woman would buy several nice dresses etc., she ended up buying a plain black dress and matching plain black hat. You can also see her diary that the devil tryed to burn.
I never heard of her. I sometimes have visions. Am I a mystic? I always thought that I am exhausted and that is why I have visions or I am losing mind. When I have these visions or dreams, I ask God what they mean and what He wants me to do. Most of the time God wants me to pray.
Yes! We have to have faith! In God! And in what He can do for us. God is amazing, miraculous, merciful and ever so loving. Your words on faith Fr. Goring remind me of: Romans 4:18-5:5 And 2Peter 1:1-21 In Jesus Holy and Precious name🙌 Amen💗
Why does God use Mystics instead of talking through his church? Since Private Revelations are not believed by most, why wouldn't he use the church he created?
Amen! Exactly my feeling, this is so refreshing to hear!💚 Everyone seems to be reading my mind and my heart in this channel today! :) God bless you Walter, and I wish you a blissful and peaceful week! From California with Love, Lara 💚🙏💚
We will all one day be tested of our faith. These times are very, very trying. It’s easy to say I’ll chose our Lord, but when the time comes…really, really comes to our doorstep….how many will pick up our cross for our Lord and stand strong? Scary times are ahead for all of us…the devil is here working thru so many men and women…I see it!!
I have read St Gemma Galgani is a very powerful Saint,St Padre Pio wrote to the passionist sisters in Lucca for a copy of The Holy Hour that St Gemma practiced without fail every Thursday night,this Holy hour was written by Blessed Elena Guerra.This is an amazing Holy Hour as practiced by St Gemma Galgani still available in print or audio. St Gemma please help us all here struggling on. God bless 🙏🌹
I ordered the 2nd walk book. Im half way through the 1st book. Love it. Also the book I'm not a chicken, And another one Treasures in Heaven. They arrive on 20 July, 2023. Bless you .Viva Christo Re.
If you really want to be united deeper With JESUS & HIS CROSS, you have to stop enjoying yourself so much. Purge yourself of 'self' enjoyment. Father Mark, I have told you that so many times.
@@lukebrown5395 Nothing wrong with his Preaching. Away from Church he indulges in a lot of pleasure seeking activities. He should make Sacrifices to deepen his Soul towards JESUS' CROSS
