Exploring Prayer, Devotion, and Knowledge in the Pursuit of Sainthood with Father Isaac Mary Relyea

WEBVTT
00:00:06.044 --> 00:00:06.304
okay.
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:21.181
Oh, no, actually.
00:00:21.181 --> 00:00:34.484
Oh, hi guys, it's terrible intro, first off.
00:00:34.484 --> 00:00:45.148
Um so, uh, last week I called Father Isaac and I wanted to thank him because our first video that hit 10,000 views was a video with him.
00:00:45.148 --> 00:00:49.643
And I called him on the phone and he said what the hell happened here?
00:00:49.643 --> 00:00:54.384
He said you disappeared.
00:00:54.384 --> 00:00:55.488
What happened here?
00:00:55.488 --> 00:01:10.007
And I said I didn't want to bother you, Like I don't, I never want to put him out because he's such a, uh, you know, he was so, so, so, uh, generous with his time of this last time, but I he told me he was coming into New York, so I forced him to come to my home for dinner.
00:01:10.007 --> 00:01:10.929
First of all, how was dinner?
00:01:11.510 --> 00:01:11.871
Excellent.
00:01:11.871 --> 00:01:13.102
Why is it great cook?
00:01:13.102 --> 00:01:18.408
So she even made meatballs, and I'm a real critic when it comes to that.
00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:22.442
So we had a.
00:01:22.442 --> 00:01:32.150
So I forced him to come to my house for dinner and I thought, you know, at Father Isaac is a very intimidating guy, right, like he's a very intimidating guy.
00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:37.784
So I was, but at the same time I knew, I know he has such a big heart, so I was a little nervous.
00:01:37.784 --> 00:01:39.885
Before he came I had my sister Chrissy come.
00:01:39.885 --> 00:01:40.828
She wanted to meet him.
00:01:40.828 --> 00:01:42.486
Joe Boca came overall.
00:01:42.486 --> 00:01:51.263
So once we started talking though the conversation, I almost had to delay the show a full hour because the conversations.
00:01:51.263 --> 00:02:05.831
He's the easiest person I've ever spoken to in my entire life and, uh, he just told us about 10 war stories from him growing up and then he told Nicole his conversion story and stuff.
00:02:05.831 --> 00:02:11.050
So, um, father man, where did he even go with this interview, right?
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.388
I figured the delay was because he was hearing your confession.
00:02:16.183 --> 00:02:17.247
I just went to the confessions.
00:02:17.247 --> 00:02:23.092
At it, I, uh, I I made sure I went before he came, but, um, so he actually wrote a whole.
00:02:23.092 --> 00:02:34.444
So I, before we actually started the show, I he asked me what we wanted to talk on, Rob, and I told him we were thinking about like going into, like, um, maybe some of the traditional saints and devotions and things like that.
00:02:36.009 --> 00:02:36.250
Yeah.
00:02:37.943 --> 00:02:40.090
Um, he actually wrote a whole thing out for us.
00:02:40.602 --> 00:02:48.109
I just I got some quotes here and stuff, but uh, you know, devotion, of course, is so important today to survive in our church.
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:55.188
You know, if you're not going to be a man, a woman, a prayer, you know, just like the car you don't put gas in, you're going to die out.
00:02:55.188 --> 00:03:00.262
So we have a lot of people today, especially in the church they've seen that have a lot of knowledge.
00:03:00.262 --> 00:03:07.066
But unless St Francis, my Holy Father, says, knowledge for the sake of knowledge will condemn you to debt.
00:03:07.066 --> 00:03:07.747
You know the hell.
00:03:07.747 --> 00:03:09.081
So you're not.
00:03:09.081 --> 00:03:20.064
Your intellect has to be sanctified, and so we have to put just as much, or even more time not only studying, but then on our knees, like we'll take.
00:03:20.064 --> 00:03:25.888
You know, become part of us, and the more like, the more we study, we learn more about God.
00:03:25.888 --> 00:03:28.364
The more you learn about God, the more you could love them.
00:03:28.364 --> 00:03:30.759
But a lot of that's going to have to do with prayer.
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:39.609
And so prayer is so important because there's a basic rule in spiritual theology that you can only receive what you're disposed to receive.
00:03:39.609 --> 00:03:43.560
And so how do we get to dispose to receive God's grace?
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:48.439
Because God wants to give us such an abundant grace, it's way beyond any of our imagination.
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.627
And I go to some people what do you want?
00:03:50.627 --> 00:03:56.632
And they say I'm afraid to bother God with all my no, you're not bothering God.
00:03:56.632 --> 00:03:57.561
But you know.
00:03:57.561 --> 00:04:05.623
So we want to be disposed, and I think some people are afraid to request big gains because they're afraid of what's going to happen to them.
00:04:05.623 --> 00:04:06.980
So we got to.
00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:14.784
Prayer helps dispose our soul to, to desire God and His holy will, because that's all that matters.
00:04:14.784 --> 00:04:25.927
And so the more we're praying, the more we're on our knees, the more disposing we're going to be, and we're going to be like a sponge, become more and more of a sponge, absorbing these graces that God wants to give us.
00:04:25.927 --> 00:04:31.661
Our Lady in a Miraculous Medal, when she had her arms out, and these beautiful rays are coming out.
00:04:31.661 --> 00:04:35.350
St Catherine said Mother, what are those rays coming out?
00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:40.560
It's just, these are graces that I want to give to my children, but they don't come to me.
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.026
And so this is so important.
00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:48.930
That's like Mass too the more we're praying, the more we we bring devotions into our life.
00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:51.326
You know we try to imitate the saints.
00:04:51.326 --> 00:04:59.276
The more we're going to be disposed to receive Jesus in a blessed sacrament, the more we're going to have a deeper faith in the Eucharist.
00:04:59.276 --> 00:05:06.485
And then, when we go to receive the Eucharist, you're going to see your whole life change, because the saints say Therese of Alla.
00:05:06.485 --> 00:05:09.391
You know why people go to Mass and not get anything out of it?
00:05:09.391 --> 00:05:16.148
Number one, they don't prepare properly for the Holy Sacrifice and then, number two, they don't do proper thanksgiving.
00:05:16.148 --> 00:05:29.012
And so this is some of the things you know, just going through my mind, about how important this prayer is, this devotion, and that church is such a treasure, treasure of devotions.
00:05:29.012 --> 00:05:32.468
And God knows, he didn't make us all the same, thank God.
00:05:32.468 --> 00:05:35.187
And so everyone was Father Isaac or Anthony.
00:05:35.187 --> 00:05:36.975
Oh, anthony, oh no, that's a nightmare.
00:05:41.826 --> 00:05:44.713
So the bottom line is it's the same thing with devotions.
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:46.204
So what devotions?
00:05:46.204 --> 00:06:00.110
God, you know he'll draw you to particular devotions, and but the thing we got to learn too, we don't want to push our devotions on other people too, but everyone's going to be led in a different direction in general.
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:12.850
And, like I always say, like you're married men, you should look up to saints that were married number one St Joseph, you know, and other saints that were married, that had children, because you have so much in common and things like that.
00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:26.432
So there's going to be certain devotions that will grab you and they just click and don't let anyone tell you, as long as it's approved devotion, don't do that, don't you run whatever's good for you, because everything will be different for all of us.
00:06:26.432 --> 00:06:39.985
We all have one place where I am in first heaven, but God's going to take us all different routes, you know, and so this is important have you over the over the years?
00:06:40.225 --> 00:06:47.747
have you found a certain way, that kind of works, for you to bring people into the faith?
00:06:47.747 --> 00:06:57.963
Because I feel like, because things are so upside down in the world right now, there are so many people that honestly are starting to look toward faith, like they're starting.
00:06:57.963 --> 00:07:02.769
You're starting to see people that are normally would never talk about religion stuff, especially in my own life.
00:07:02.769 --> 00:07:09.410
I'm seeing people I have, family members, are starting to ask me questions Like what do you, what have you seen work as?
00:07:09.410 --> 00:07:15.550
Do you treat each conversion on the individual basis or do you see certain things work better than others?
00:07:16.141 --> 00:07:21.310
Well, here's the thing when you meet someone, number one you have to find out where they are, you know.
00:07:21.310 --> 00:07:33.165
But the best way to convert somebody is by our example, because people I always tell people, you know, even just making the sign across at lunch, at work, before you eat your sandwich.
00:07:33.165 --> 00:07:41.440
You know people are mocking this and that, but guess what, when one of your buddies has a problem, he ain't going to go to the pagan, he's going to.
00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:49.649
And if you're not only making the sign across but you carry yourself in a proper way, your department is a Christian, a Catholic.
00:07:50.019 --> 00:08:01.386
I don't like to work, use the Christian word Christian, because I'm talking about Catholicism, yeah, and so if you are Catholic, it's almost like you should almost have a sign on you and I'm Catholic, but by our actions.
00:08:01.386 --> 00:08:15.807
So you draw more people by your actions than by your words, because we all experience evangelists Catholic ones too coming up and on fire and they just want to bombard you and they don't even, you know, they don't even let the person talk.
00:08:15.807 --> 00:08:22.226
So the first thing is, if you want to convert someone, you better make sure you live in a faith, all right, and you better walk the talk.
00:08:22.226 --> 00:08:35.067
But from there too, I just find out where they are, because for me it's easy to get into conversation because I always went my habit and I was telling Anthony and his family that I mean I've been in Port of D'Arty, new York.
00:08:35.067 --> 00:08:37.393
You know, if you ever been there, it's quite a trip.
00:08:37.393 --> 00:08:41.331
And I had this young man come up to me saying are you a black, are you a rabbi?
00:08:43.563 --> 00:08:45.950
I said, the Messiah has been here a long time, buddy.
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:53.293
I wanted to take father to the mole so bad just to just to like see what happened.
00:08:53.293 --> 00:08:57.188
Right, I'm like, I would love to just like him having dinner with you as a penance.
00:08:57.188 --> 00:09:01.070
Enough man if people recognize him or like what.
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:04.743
But he said like some people like well, they take on my Muslim.
00:09:04.783 --> 00:09:07.291
Sometimes they take off and see where I live.
00:09:07.291 --> 00:09:13.567
There's a big Renaissance and it takes place for like three months straight and that's a nightmare, because everyone comes up to me.
00:09:13.921 --> 00:09:17.024
I said, no, I'm the real deal, that's the way it is.
00:09:17.024 --> 00:09:18.621
And they're in shock, you know.
00:09:18.621 --> 00:09:25.986
But this is the beauty, why that religious are supposed to wear the habits, priest are supposed to wear the clerics?
00:09:25.986 --> 00:09:31.109
Because St Francis is designed to have it in the form of a cross, jesus Christ crucified.
00:09:31.109 --> 00:09:32.764
And so I never forget.
00:09:32.764 --> 00:09:37.289
I was on Fifth Avenue, I had my mother, I had to take a bus and this guy came online.
00:09:37.289 --> 00:09:38.904
He started telling me.
00:09:38.904 --> 00:09:41.413
He came up to me, so are you Franciscan?
00:09:41.413 --> 00:09:42.159
He was educated.
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.745
I said, yes, he goes.
00:09:43.745 --> 00:09:46.004
Well, I'm an atheist, so, all right.
00:09:46.004 --> 00:09:47.662
And so we start talking.
00:09:47.662 --> 00:09:54.948
And I know it was interesting and I brought out facts, you know, because he was forced to talk about God with me in a sense.
00:09:54.948 --> 00:09:59.879
I didn't force him, but you know, I said to him how, why do you want to talk about something that don't exist?
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.049
I said I don't understand that, you know.
00:10:02.049 --> 00:10:14.350
But in the end, you know, we got this man, I talked to him about it, opened up the door and when I'm talking to someone like that, we have to pray to the Holy Ghost and if you're in sanctified grace, the Holy Ghost will guide you.
00:10:14.350 --> 00:10:20.220
You know, and I don't know, all of a sudden I said I got to tell this man the story of Fatima because he, you know, science isn't that.
00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:29.428
And I started telling the story about Fatima and how it was documented, not by the Catholic Church, mostly by the Masonic press that controlled all the.
00:10:29.469 --> 00:10:30.350
Portugal that time.
00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:34.090
So he was, he was really taken back and I said listen, look it up.
00:10:34.090 --> 00:10:36.683
This miracle, was this?
00:10:36.683 --> 00:10:37.485
Pictures of it.
00:10:37.485 --> 00:10:39.850
75,000 people testified.
00:10:39.850 --> 00:10:41.153
The sun came down.
00:10:41.153 --> 00:10:42.202
They thought the world was end.
00:10:42.202 --> 00:10:44.149
They were in a mud up to their ankles.
00:10:44.149 --> 00:10:46.885
And this guy, so God will lead you.
00:10:46.926 --> 00:10:48.208
And that's when I say be open.
00:10:48.208 --> 00:10:51.306
This sounds all, father, you charismatic.
00:10:51.306 --> 00:10:53.270
Charismatic, no, I'm not, I'm Catholic.
00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:59.370
They're all gifts of the Holy Ghost and when you pray to God, in light of me, I want to help bring this soul to you.
00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:01.322
He's going to help guide you.
00:11:01.322 --> 00:11:02.927
You know, okay, which way to go.
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.506
But there's another rule that you have to look.
00:11:05.506 --> 00:11:15.110
There's certain times we can leave people in good faith and like, when you meet someone for the first time, you don't have to give them the whole catechism in one shot, one shot.
00:11:15.110 --> 00:11:23.368
One of the things that I found that helped with me is I'll say to people have you ever thought about coming into the Catholic Church?
00:11:23.368 --> 00:11:36.091
And so, nah, I said okay, so if there's one obstacle, one obstacle that's really bothering you, that would stop you, like, is it the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Eucharist, the papacy?
00:11:36.091 --> 00:11:37.943
And a lot of them will tell you.
00:11:37.943 --> 00:11:40.285
And so, and then I give you an open door.
00:11:40.285 --> 00:11:45.245
I always tell them say listen, if you want help, we could talk about these things anytime you want.
00:11:45.245 --> 00:11:53.481
I'll give you my phone number, this and that I'll take the conversation, where I try not to get in deep arguments, you know, and keep it nice.
00:11:53.481 --> 00:11:56.586
And the other thing is, in the end I always tell them listen.
00:11:57.207 --> 00:12:00.083
What I really recommend is you go home and you close the door.
00:12:00.083 --> 00:12:03.672
Our Lord says go to your room and pray alone with Him.
00:12:03.672 --> 00:12:10.123
So pray, talk to say listen, if you are real, if they're God up there, like this priest told me, and you're real.
00:12:10.123 --> 00:12:14.851
Father Isaac said show, please, show yourself to me, reveal yourself to me.
00:12:14.851 --> 00:12:17.708
And a lot of times I'll tell me.
00:12:17.708 --> 00:12:20.902
If you pass a church, just walk into a Catholic Church and sit there.
00:12:20.902 --> 00:12:23.366
You'll see a red light lit.
00:12:23.366 --> 00:12:25.591
I said I don't even tell them what it is.
00:12:25.591 --> 00:12:28.125
And I said just sit there and be quiet.
00:12:28.125 --> 00:12:30.827
And so many times I got feedback.
00:12:30.827 --> 00:12:39.291
They said you know what I did that and I felt like someone else was in the room, made a whole time the church and then it opens up the door.
00:12:39.291 --> 00:12:39.552
You know.
00:12:40.562 --> 00:12:41.485
There's two things from that.
00:12:41.485 --> 00:12:52.831
So we were just talking about that because my conversion had a lot to do with it was on Easter and I actually didn't even believe Jesus rose from the dead.
00:12:52.831 --> 00:12:56.187
This is, you know, a decade ago, whatever it was, I converted, I think around 30.
00:12:56.187 --> 00:13:14.448
And it really does take a person say, like God won't force himself on us, like you really do have to get to a point where you say, god, if you're real, I'll follow you, and like, if you get up, get your heart to that point because God won't force himself on you, but if you open yourself up to Him, he absolutely will come in.
00:13:14.448 --> 00:13:18.549
And so so that's really is the first step.
00:13:18.549 --> 00:13:19.764
The other one is Fatima.
00:13:19.764 --> 00:13:23.510
I can't believe how many people are affected by the message of Fatima.
00:13:23.510 --> 00:13:29.221
It, like so many conversions have, are so intertwined with Fatima right, like don't you know?
00:13:29.221 --> 00:13:30.567
Dozens of people also, rob.
00:13:31.841 --> 00:13:33.225
Yeah, I mean so.
00:13:33.225 --> 00:13:50.528
Growing up we I was in a youth group called Fatima Cadets where we did the first Saturday devotions and made rosaries together, and then the older kids, the pair, sent them to Fatima, and so Fatima was a huge part of of my faith growing up, helped bring me back to the faith.
00:13:50.528 --> 00:13:54.909
So yeah, Fatima is is unbelievable.
00:13:55.780 --> 00:13:59.129
Yeah, I had like okay, so, okay.
00:13:59.129 --> 00:14:00.633
So I have kind of two conversions.
00:14:00.633 --> 00:14:18.639
That first conversion was that Easter and then my second conversion was around 2017 or 2018, when I came back in and I was criticizing the hierarchy and I was going off about how these men are terrible fathers, how could they're not even teaching the faith anymore.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.884
And all of a sudden I got struck like God just illuminated my soul to show me what a terrible father I was.
00:14:24.884 --> 00:14:27.850
Like you haven't brought your children to mass.
00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:28.715
In two years.
00:14:28.715 --> 00:14:30.924
You're going to criticize these men as fathers.
00:14:30.924 --> 00:14:41.351
And I went from there right into finding the Fatima message and it was like all these, like I can't even believe how much my conversion is intertwined with Fatima.
00:14:41.351 --> 00:14:44.033
Now, is Fatima still relevant for us today?
00:14:44.817 --> 00:14:46.024
Are you kidding Do?
00:14:46.044 --> 00:14:48.200
you think that that secret is still awaiting to be fulfilled?
00:14:48.802 --> 00:14:51.870
I mean it's the most important thing, apparition for our time.
00:14:51.870 --> 00:14:58.072
We're living Fatima out, living before COVID.
00:14:58.072 --> 00:15:14.168
I was warning people about COVID that I said I believe that this is going to be part of the fulfillment of whole nations being annihilated, because our Lady warned us if Russia is not consecrated properly, and that that showed that Pope Francis put on on the 25th of March.
00:15:14.168 --> 00:15:15.812
That was no consecration.
00:15:15.812 --> 00:15:27.530
I can't believe people actually think it was, because the head Mariologist from the Vatican I forgot his name, I can't think of it right now A weak lady said the consecration that Francis did had nothing to do with Fatima.
00:15:27.530 --> 00:15:29.304
So that should just end all of the things.
00:15:29.304 --> 00:15:38.589
But our Lady said that one, russia is consecrated properly, that they'll, you know, russia will be converted and there'll be a reign of peace throughout the church.
00:15:38.589 --> 00:15:42.691
She said, if not, russia will spread our errors throughout the whole church.
00:15:42.691 --> 00:15:54.567
So if you're not convinced that what happened in COVID was totaled to 199 countries, embrace and Communism and they're not done with us, they're talking about another deadly virus coming.
00:15:54.567 --> 00:16:07.811
So this is why Fatima I think we're getting very close to the whole nations being annihilated the fulfillment and then that the consecration, whoever the Pope is, will be done.
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.845
Joseph Bartolomew Holzhauer.
00:16:10.845 --> 00:16:15.082
He talks about the ages of the church and he says that the fifth.
00:16:15.082 --> 00:16:18.611
There's seven ages and we're in the end of the fifth.
00:16:18.611 --> 00:16:25.052
He didn't say that then, but he said the fifth age started with the Protestant Revolution.
00:16:25.052 --> 00:16:35.505
He says there's an age of heresy, schism, an age of no regard for natural law, divine law, total onarchy, and this is what we're living now.
00:16:35.505 --> 00:16:41.485
And he says but at the end there'll be the great chastisements, a great chastisement, and then there'll be conversion.
00:16:41.485 --> 00:16:44.288
And this beautiful period that's coming.
00:16:44.288 --> 00:16:47.602
Let's just say we got a hold on my friends, because it's coming.
00:16:47.602 --> 00:16:49.485
We may very well see it.
00:16:49.485 --> 00:16:53.591
I can't tell you the exact day, but how long is it going to go on?
00:16:53.591 --> 00:16:54.345
What's going on?
00:16:54.345 --> 00:16:58.764
Because St Paul says God will not be mocked, he will not be mocked.
00:16:58.764 --> 00:17:01.527
And so we're getting close to the sixth age.
00:17:01.567 --> 00:17:07.869
Saying Blessed Bartolomew says is going to be told the whole world's going to be converted to Catholicism.
00:17:07.869 --> 00:17:09.724
He says the Turks will be eliminated.
00:17:09.724 --> 00:17:10.426
You know what that means?
00:17:10.426 --> 00:17:10.948
Islam.
00:17:10.948 --> 00:17:18.709
He says the Protestant religion will be done away with and there'll be a great monarchy that's going to help the Pope convert the whole world.
00:17:18.709 --> 00:17:21.828
But what a glorious age that's going to be.
00:17:21.828 --> 00:17:28.263
And I believe, if not me, but you, maybe your children are going to be part of that and the rebuild in a Christian.
00:17:28.263 --> 00:17:37.545
It's going to be awesome and but we got to know that we're in the war right now and we got to be ready for the war, and that's one of the things I want to say.
00:17:37.585 --> 00:17:45.351
When he said about devotion, I said devotion is optional, I believe, and I encourage him that great, find out what you like.
00:17:45.351 --> 00:17:49.450
But there's one devotion that I believe is not optional anymore.
00:17:49.450 --> 00:17:51.767
I tell you that it's the rosary.
00:17:51.767 --> 00:18:05.548
The rosary is not an option, and when our lady gave the rosary to St Dominic, she told him that the rosary is the preferred weapon of the Holy Trinity.
00:18:05.548 --> 00:18:08.219
I mean, when I hear that I jump for joy.
00:18:08.219 --> 00:18:10.730
I said look at this, god himself, the Holy Trinity.
00:18:10.730 --> 00:18:14.143
They're telling us that they have chosen the weapon.
00:18:14.143 --> 00:18:18.731
The most powerful weapon that he chooses is the rosary.
00:18:18.731 --> 00:18:31.811
Then, at Fatima, our lady told Sister Lucia that Jesus Christ, her son, is given the rosary a deeper efficacy for our time to the rosary.
00:18:31.811 --> 00:18:40.444
So now more than ever is the time to break those beads out and pray the whole rosary, the joyful, sorrowful words.
00:18:40.444 --> 00:18:42.470
That's the rosary, nothing else.
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:44.325
What do you think about the luminous?
00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:49.050
I don't buy it because I'd say to people you think our lady had amnesia when she came to St Dominic?
00:18:49.050 --> 00:18:53.344
Oh, I forgot that there's a fifth or fourth mystery, give me a break.
00:18:53.344 --> 00:18:58.531
And so, once again, the devil always likes to tamper with what God has given us.
00:18:58.531 --> 00:19:04.532
If God said this is the most powerful weapon, why are you telling me to add or take?
00:19:04.532 --> 00:19:06.025
No, you don't add or take away.
00:19:06.025 --> 00:19:09.207
That's why there's this famous exorcist priest.
00:19:09.207 --> 00:19:10.028
He's an exorcist.
00:19:10.028 --> 00:19:12.006
I won't mention his name, god bless him.
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:18.226
But I was at a conference and they said one of the questions Father So-and-So says he wants to change the rosary.
00:19:18.226 --> 00:19:19.944
What do you think about that?
00:19:19.944 --> 00:19:22.467
I said get behind me Satan.
00:19:22.467 --> 00:19:23.390
How about that?
00:19:23.390 --> 00:19:31.019
I said run from that priest, because this is given to us from God, from our lady, and this is it.
00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:33.909
And why don't we want something else beside the rosary?
00:19:33.909 --> 00:19:35.605
Because we like to think we're doing it.
00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:44.009
The rosary is a prayer of humility, praying prayer after prayer, but it's a prayer that will lead you to contemplation.
00:19:44.009 --> 00:19:48.089
It's a prayer that, if you do it right and say loose the mothet.
00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:51.727
I encourage you to read the secrets of the rosaries.
00:19:51.727 --> 00:19:55.445
You will learn about the rosary, and so that's one thing I want to say.
00:19:55.445 --> 00:19:56.986
So the rosary is not an option.
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:08.971
If there's one devotion I got to quote, it's going to be devotion to our lady, true devotion to the Blessed Mother, and, because it only makes sense, she is the one that crushes Satan, her and her seed.
00:20:08.971 --> 00:20:30.444
And so the perfect form of devotion to our lady is not only the rosary we're in a miraculous matter but consecration to her, because once again, the mediatrics of all grace, all grace, has come from Christ, and then he gives them to his mother to give to whom she wants, when she wants and as much as she wants.
00:20:30.444 --> 00:20:36.877
So she's the deposit, it's all deposited in her and it's up, and all we got to do is beg her for it.
00:20:36.877 --> 00:20:42.866
Don't even have to beg her Give me the grace, as I need mother, but she's, it's her and her seed.
00:20:42.866 --> 00:20:46.046
So who's her and her seed?
00:20:46.046 --> 00:20:48.506
Well, in her womb was who Christ?
00:20:48.506 --> 00:20:50.880
So he's the head of the mystical body.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:57.767
And then we're we that are baptized in the Catholic church, are her seed, we that are consecrated to her seed.
00:20:57.767 --> 00:20:59.109
So this is it.
00:20:59.109 --> 00:21:04.766
We're all in this battle, together with our lady, but we're on the winning side.
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:09.115
But guess what St Louis the Moffitt tells us when it says in Genesis 315,.
00:21:09.115 --> 00:21:13.528
It says she shall crush your head and you shall wait for a heal.
00:21:13.528 --> 00:21:16.066
So St Louis says who's the heal?
00:21:16.066 --> 00:21:16.688
What's the heal?
00:21:16.688 --> 00:21:19.366
The heal of our ladies, those that are consecrated to her.
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.892
The consecration was a life changing event, especially for my spiritual life.
00:21:24.892 --> 00:21:28.029
Like it was, I remember me and my wife did it together.
00:21:28.029 --> 00:21:37.352
So like we were actually going through a pretty rough time and we were like what are we going to do to like fix this problems we're dealing with?
00:21:37.352 --> 00:21:40.366
And we both decided we were going to do the consecration.
00:21:40.366 --> 00:21:49.027
We did it and, when I tell you, life changing, like it completely changed everything in our marriage and our life, the way we raise our children and everything.
00:21:49.027 --> 00:21:54.431
So if anybody is like on the fence about doing that consecration, it is the greatest.
00:21:54.431 --> 00:21:55.092
I think.
00:21:55.092 --> 00:21:57.948
I think it's the greatest devotion that the church has to offer.
00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.964
This is why it's so important.
00:21:59.964 --> 00:22:01.829
But you have to understand the role of our lady.
00:22:03.221 --> 00:22:03.301
And.
00:22:03.521 --> 00:22:07.551
I love talking and bragging about our mother because she's awesome.
00:22:07.551 --> 00:22:09.887
I mean, our Lord went out of his way.
00:22:09.887 --> 00:22:24.065
He gave us his own mother, and so how would you like it if I gave you my most precious gift and you tossed it in the corner and didn't think much about it and then, but you know, he's giving us his own mother to be our mother.
00:22:24.065 --> 00:22:30.528
I mean this is so awesome when she goes before our son for us, she said my son, he needs help.
00:22:30.528 --> 00:22:31.964
The grace is at that.
00:22:31.964 --> 00:22:32.461
She's so.
00:22:32.461 --> 00:22:34.268
He never, never says no.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:41.968
When I first had my conversion, I was away 17 years and I said to my mother I said my, you know, I respect the Blessed Mother.
00:22:41.968 --> 00:22:43.826
And I grew up on my knees.
00:22:43.826 --> 00:22:46.027
We had to say the rosary every night after dinner.
00:22:46.027 --> 00:22:47.625
We were in the blue army.
00:22:47.625 --> 00:22:51.361
My mother was 100% married and she's.
00:22:51.361 --> 00:22:53.929
And I said Ma, but I can't pray that rosary.
00:22:53.929 --> 00:22:58.544
And she says and normally my mother would have got a little upset, I think.
00:22:58.544 --> 00:22:59.326
But you know what she said.
00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:00.704
I knew God, god, you know.
00:23:00.704 --> 00:23:03.203
She said why don't you pray to Jesus?
00:23:03.203 --> 00:23:04.387
See what he tells you to do?
00:23:04.387 --> 00:23:06.465
I said that's a great idea.
00:23:06.465 --> 00:23:07.563
And you know what I did.
00:23:07.563 --> 00:23:09.008
I prayed and he can.
00:23:09.008 --> 00:23:10.746
I knew it was him because I didn't want to do it.
00:23:10.746 --> 00:23:13.689
He would take me half hour to pray 10 Hail Mary's.
00:23:13.689 --> 00:23:23.188
But then, once it caught, and once I realized what happened, I gave myself to our lady, like Anthony just said your whole spiritual life take us off like a rocket.
00:23:23.188 --> 00:23:28.269
And then I started worrying that I was loving our lady too much.
00:23:28.269 --> 00:23:32.382
So I went to a priest and he told me you know, so don't worry.
00:23:32.382 --> 00:23:38.089
My son, say Maximilian, called me, said when you love our lady more than Jesus, then then you could worry.
00:23:38.089 --> 00:23:40.047
Well, we all know that's impossible, right?
00:23:40.047 --> 00:23:52.663
So, lover, and our Lord is very pleased when we go to his mother, because St Louis makes it clear, the way God comes to us is true to virgin and that's the way we have to go back to him is through to virgin.
00:23:53.619 --> 00:24:01.528
Father, I had somebody reached out to me and wrote this to me and they said can you please make a video on how adult converts can address their marriage?
00:24:01.528 --> 00:24:04.970
So this was a woman who she got married.
00:24:04.970 --> 00:24:08.369
Her and her husband were both agnostic or atheist.
00:24:08.369 --> 00:24:10.186
Faith wasn't a matter of their life.
00:24:10.186 --> 00:24:15.126
And then they get married and then she has a conversion and her husband wants nothing to do with it.
00:24:15.126 --> 00:24:24.805
They have no kids yet, but he's letting her go to mass and he told her if you wanna take the kids to church, you can, but she's having a very hard time because the husband wants her to work.
00:24:24.805 --> 00:24:26.044
The husband wants her to.
00:24:26.044 --> 00:24:42.346
You know, there's a severe lack of genuine masculinity these days, where husbands actually think it's like normal for their wives to go to work and bring in a second income, and there are a lot of women who wanna take on a traditional role in the family and their husbands are unwilling.
00:24:42.346 --> 00:24:45.599
Is there anything we can like, any kind of advice we can offer to wives like that?
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:54.965
The first thing is, I really think she has to find a good priest to guide her, because these things are very, very difficult and you have to find one that's pretty balanced too.
00:24:54.965 --> 00:25:00.484
I mean, this is really difficult to navigate through, but God will give it grace.
00:25:00.484 --> 00:25:06.942
The good news, I would tell you, is that woman is blessed, that he's telling her it's all right, even though he can never.
00:25:06.942 --> 00:25:12.721
She would not be disobedient to her husband and say, no, I will go to mass on Sundays and I will.
00:25:12.721 --> 00:25:14.407
You know he cannot prevent her.
00:25:14.407 --> 00:25:19.470
She wouldn't be disobeying her husband because you have to be submissive to your husband in all things.
00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:28.448
But when our Lord, st Paul, says that he's talking about legitimate things and she's gonna have to, you know, pray him into heaven, pray for his conversion.
00:25:28.448 --> 00:25:31.405
That's why I tell young people they wanna marry outside the church.
00:25:31.405 --> 00:25:32.724
I said the church is wisdom.
00:25:32.724 --> 00:25:34.727
It's way beyond our wisdom.
00:25:34.727 --> 00:25:39.886
There's a reason why they never encourage, you know, to marry outside the faith.
00:25:39.886 --> 00:25:44.470
You know, but she's gonna need to pray, and pray to St Joseph.
00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:49.469
Really, get dedicated to St Joseph that he could, you know, help convert her husband.
00:25:49.469 --> 00:25:54.887
And the rosary, if anything is gonna convert him, it's gonna be you praying the rosary.
00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:57.386
The rosary and fasting like I remember.
00:25:57.386 --> 00:26:06.067
Even like if you have loved ones that you really want to convert, you really have to ask yourself something like how much do you want them to convert?
00:26:06.067 --> 00:26:16.448
What are you attached to that you should give up, because there are things in your life that you could give up, and if you're not willing to give them up, maybe you don't want that person's conversion that much.
00:26:16.448 --> 00:26:20.646
So fasting is such a powerful thing when you pray and fast together.
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.145
So that's one of the good things about having a spiritual director.
00:26:24.145 --> 00:26:25.028
But it's hard today.
00:26:25.028 --> 00:26:37.329
But if you do because when you choose your own penances they're not as effective as when God chooses it, or if you have a directive, choose it for you and but so rarely pray.
00:26:37.329 --> 00:26:41.586
But if you don't, can't find a good director, you're better off without a director.
00:26:41.586 --> 00:27:05.547
Say, Teresa Vavalo, say, and then you could try to what you do to supplement, that is, continue to study your catechism, the doctrines of the church, but read the saints, because the saints are loaded with wisdom and the more you read the saints and the life of the saints, you're going to see that catechism actually in action and it's going to, it's going to help you get through all kinds of circumstances.
00:27:06.201 --> 00:27:08.669
So Father Dave Nix is making a reference to your accident.
00:27:08.669 --> 00:27:12.041
So we, father Dave, you you came up during dinner, father Dave.
00:27:12.041 --> 00:27:17.707
We actually spoke about you and I told Father that you told me about his accident.
00:27:17.707 --> 00:27:23.826
So Father Isaac actually told me, because he drives about what?
00:27:23.826 --> 00:27:25.070
10 or 12 hours.
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.086
Sometimes he used to drive up to 16.
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:33.507
Yeah, and he was driving home from somewhere in Milwaukee, milwaukee, and he had a very severe accident.
00:27:33.507 --> 00:27:34.403
So I think that's what Father-.
00:27:34.624 --> 00:27:40.267
But you know what, I had my rosary in my hand when I crashed and never left the hand.
00:27:40.267 --> 00:27:43.465
And and matter of fact, to have a pitch, I always owned, like trucks.
00:27:43.465 --> 00:27:44.102
I put a.
00:27:44.102 --> 00:27:47.463
I got a you know sticker of Padre Pio.
00:27:47.463 --> 00:27:52.068
He goes in the right hand side and I always tell him that to watch my back.
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.730
And years ago I was driving another car.
00:27:55.730 --> 00:27:58.868
I was on the New England Drury way 95.
00:27:58.868 --> 00:28:03.886
And I was driving and it's this truck in front of me with all loose metal like garbage.
00:28:03.886 --> 00:28:05.965
And I remember my mission talks.
00:28:05.965 --> 00:28:22.029
I talked I'll tell a story about a man who is a cardiologist rushing to Manhattan to save someone's life and a thin piece of metal like paper then bounced off the truck and went through his window and decapitated him and went out the back window.
00:28:22.029 --> 00:28:23.003
That's such force.
00:28:23.003 --> 00:28:24.964
And so I said I better watch it.
00:28:24.964 --> 00:28:25.867
Same thing happened to me.
00:28:25.867 --> 00:28:30.241
I started the turn and this piece of metal came and it curved.
00:28:30.241 --> 00:28:34.967
No, I curved like this and it hit Padre Pio right in the head.
00:28:34.967 --> 00:28:36.403
Right Punched his head.
00:28:36.403 --> 00:28:43.269
I said thank you, st Pio, but this time the whole stick it was taking out.
00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:48.788
But thank God our lady protected me and now I try to cut my driving down.
00:28:48.788 --> 00:28:51.262
We gotta be prudent.
00:28:53.583 --> 00:29:15.148
Yeah, yeah, we've had such an interesting conversation just because even when Rob and I started the channel a lot of it at first we tried to not speak about some of the problems in the church and that first conversation we had with you was like, okay, we had to make a decision, like where do we wanna go with the channel?
00:29:15.148 --> 00:29:20.909
And like what do you think is appropriate for a person in my position, like as a lay person?
00:29:20.909 --> 00:29:25.270
Is it appropriate for me to even have any criticisms of the hierarchy?
00:29:25.270 --> 00:29:42.888
Am I allowed to notice Because to me it seems like for me to act like these things aren't going on is almost on the same level of denying reality that like somebody wearing a dress to you all, the woman, like a man in a dress being a woman, like I can't deny the things that I'm seeing with my own eyes.
00:29:43.028 --> 00:29:49.865
I agree, it's like if you're on the front line and you say, oh, there's no war and bullets and whizzing past your head, you're gonna get it.
00:29:49.865 --> 00:30:10.130
And if you're gonna have a thing where you're trying to help men become men, we can't put our head in the sand because, remember, an effeminate man is one that runs from the cross and effeminate man is one that runs from any kind of controversy, even if God wants him to be there, because he doesn't want argue with nobody and stuff.
00:30:10.130 --> 00:30:12.708
But what we have to watch out.
00:30:12.708 --> 00:30:29.387
I think it's appropriate to be aware, like I think it's say Robert Bellamy says just as you're obliged to fight someone who's trying to kill your body, even more so, even if it's a pulp, if he's trying to destroy your soul or your faith, you're even more obliged to fight that.
00:30:29.387 --> 00:30:31.246
So we have to fight the good fight.
00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:36.086
Contrary to what some people say, you can never say nothing and so you have to.
00:30:36.086 --> 00:30:37.393
Sometimes we have to put.
00:30:37.393 --> 00:30:45.650
But I think it's the way you go about it and I think it's the solution part that has to be more of a talk than the negative.
00:30:45.650 --> 00:30:47.365
There is negative, let's face it.
00:30:47.365 --> 00:30:48.544
We have to deal with the negative.
00:30:48.544 --> 00:31:04.423
We have to, and I think it's important that people that are more aware, at least you could point people in the right direction, and I don't think nobody should talk like so many people today, especially in the traditional movement, a lot of these blogs.
00:31:04.423 --> 00:31:10.085
They talk as if they had a pope themselves and they sitting on the chair and they proclaim things, they feed a.
00:31:10.465 --> 00:31:15.229
Come on, give me a break, like I said, with the whole thing, with Pope Francis.
00:31:15.229 --> 00:31:16.585
Is he the pope, is he not?
00:31:16.585 --> 00:31:19.208
And all this that's been going on for years.
00:31:19.208 --> 00:31:24.246
I said look at, say, robert Bellamy, in his time you had Suarez Cajetan.
00:31:24.246 --> 00:31:27.744
These guys were the best theologians the church ever had.
00:31:27.744 --> 00:31:28.227
Guess what?
00:31:28.227 --> 00:31:39.625
They all different opinions and I think like we got to hold on right now because when this great pope comes, when the end of the Chastisans are here, this great pope is gonna.
00:31:39.625 --> 00:31:50.723
We need the magistrate to settle this argument, but for now, I think we have to practice with St Vincent of Lorenz says is we have to live the faith, like we know is supposed to be lived.
00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:52.204
Nobody has excuse.
00:31:52.204 --> 00:31:55.769
Today we have all the documents from all the 20 councils.
00:31:55.769 --> 00:31:56.039
Not.
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:58.909
The Vatican II council was a joke, I'm sorry.
00:31:58.909 --> 00:32:05.288
Okay, it departed from tradition period, and so I know people get upset but it's the truth.
00:32:05.288 --> 00:32:14.125
You know, when Vatican II telling you you have a right to choose any God you want, no, we don't have that right.
00:32:14.125 --> 00:32:19.909
I'm sorry, I could go on and on all this false ecumenism stuff.
00:32:19.909 --> 00:32:27.224
If you really study the council of Trent and all the councils that spoke, they feeding, I mean, it's guaranteed.
00:32:27.224 --> 00:32:29.685
The council of Trent is the greatest council the church ever had.
00:32:29.685 --> 00:32:39.830
In Vatican II, when John the 23rd opened the council, he said we will not anatomatize, we will not excommunicate, you know.
00:32:39.830 --> 00:32:46.728
You know we will not excuse, we will not define any dogmas and we will not anatomatize, which means excommunicate.
00:32:46.728 --> 00:32:50.189
Well, that's the whole purpose of ecumenical council.
00:32:50.189 --> 00:32:57.726
It says ever seep into the church the vicar Christ uses his infallibility and he they chose not to.
00:32:57.726 --> 00:32:58.007
Why?
00:32:58.007 --> 00:32:59.946
Because there was an agenda.
00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:09.269
That whole council should have been to address the sexual revolution that was happening in the culture, should have been to address all of these different.
00:33:09.269 --> 00:33:13.778
I mean, you just had World War II, you had the communist revolution.
00:33:13.778 --> 00:33:19.288
They should have been speaking out against communism, the sexual revolution, these are the things that the culture was really facing.
00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:20.586
And that's what a council does.
00:33:20.586 --> 00:33:26.568
And that's why John the 23rd had what they call Ocephalotics look it up where he met with the Russians.
00:33:26.568 --> 00:33:36.682
And he told the Russian I promise you at the council, we will not, we will not, we will not proselytize Whoa.
00:33:36.682 --> 00:33:38.548
You are the vicar Christ.
00:33:38.548 --> 00:33:43.448
When he ascended into heaven, right before he ascended, he gave the great command I command you.
00:33:43.448 --> 00:33:45.666
He didn't say it's an option, guys, take it.
00:33:45.666 --> 00:33:47.263
If you want, I command you.
00:33:47.263 --> 00:33:52.647
Go to all nations, baptize them in the name of the Father, son, holy Ghost, teach them everything I have taught you.
00:33:52.647 --> 00:33:54.784
It's not an option.
00:33:54.784 --> 00:33:57.989
And here he is saying we will not invoke infallibility.
00:33:57.989 --> 00:34:00.385
What a disgrace.
00:34:00.385 --> 00:34:01.501
And guess what?
00:34:01.501 --> 00:34:04.723
Paul VI reiterated that when he took over the council.
00:34:06.141 --> 00:34:08.280
So for the average Catholic now, where they?
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:18.088
I mean honestly, we're seeing things getting so crazy at this point where you have the synod and synodality coming up, I mean there's obviously an agenda to.
00:34:18.088 --> 00:34:27.427
I mean, they may not be able to do it on paper, but you know they're gonna do something in practice to make the world think that the doctrine has changed, whether they actually change it on paper or not.
00:34:27.427 --> 00:34:28.623
What are?
00:34:28.623 --> 00:34:39.451
What is the average Catholic supposed to do in a time like this where they see Well, the thing is, my suggestion number one is to really find traditional movement, traditional priests.
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.469
This is why they're trying to ban the myth.
00:34:42.469 --> 00:34:46.927
They're trying to abolish it, abrogate it, which they can't, even Paul Benedict.
00:34:46.927 --> 00:34:54.567
He said in Simone Patifican they can't, nobody could abolish or abrogate the, because that is the Roman right.
00:34:54.567 --> 00:34:56.224
There's only one Roman right.
00:34:56.224 --> 00:35:02.788
It's not the Novus Auto, and that's why I made my decision many years ago I would never offer the new right.
00:35:02.788 --> 00:35:07.340
It's an illicit right and that's it Now.
00:35:07.461 --> 00:35:13.929
I think the sad part about it is the words of consecration and proper form and matter.
00:35:13.929 --> 00:35:18.646
The consecration is valid, but that's sad too, because you think our Lord's happy with that.
00:35:18.646 --> 00:35:25.625
But so the bottom line is you gotta find, you gotta cling with tradition, you gotta start studying.
00:35:25.625 --> 00:35:34.246
I would say, if I have to recommend one council, if you study the council of Trent, you who learn, you'll be able to fuse so many heresies.
00:35:34.246 --> 00:35:37.762
St Alphonse Gore, the great doctor of church, wrote a book.
00:35:37.762 --> 00:35:48.291
It's translated into English, it's the history of heresies, I think it's called that, and he just goes over all these heresies.
00:35:48.291 --> 00:35:51.389
But the council of Trent is gold.
00:35:51.389 --> 00:35:56.346
When I say gold, gold, so you get the catechism of Trent and so on study, study.
00:35:56.346 --> 00:35:59.284
But remember what I said in the beginning you have to pray.
00:35:59.284 --> 00:36:08.706
If you're not gonna pray, if you're just gonna be study, you're gonna be gonna pompous, you know what, and an arrogant one too, and we're loaded with them, unfortunately, in the traditional movement.
00:36:08.706 --> 00:36:17.646
I'm telling you I don't wanna jump back and forth, but when you're talking about converting people, I don't wanna name the most.
00:36:17.646 --> 00:36:18.469
You will figure out.
00:36:18.579 --> 00:36:24.048
I helped out this organization for a while one of the biggest Catholic apostle in the church.
00:36:24.048 --> 00:36:25.503
So I went there.
00:36:25.503 --> 00:36:29.226
I said you know what they had at that time?
00:36:29.226 --> 00:36:32.182
It was half the size when the founder was alive.
00:36:32.182 --> 00:36:34.570
He had over 120 employees.
00:36:34.570 --> 00:36:38.764
I thought this guy was working out of a garage and I was shocked.
00:36:38.764 --> 00:36:42.061
So when he died he went down to around 60, so they wanted me.
00:36:42.061 --> 00:36:47.248
I said okay, I wanna come in, give me a stack of every employee here.
00:36:47.248 --> 00:36:50.307
I want their history, I wanna see their files.
00:36:50.307 --> 00:36:53.106
Did they have any disciplinary problems?
00:36:53.106 --> 00:36:55.005
This that wanted to get the less raised.
00:36:55.005 --> 00:36:56.483
So I was meeting.
00:36:56.483 --> 00:36:57.867
There was split.
00:36:57.867 --> 00:37:02.068
Half the people not even half were real hardcore traditionalists.
00:37:02.068 --> 00:37:13.425
But a lot of these traditionalists in this group were obnoxious, self-righteous people where you just wanna strangle them, you get behind them, and so I had to meet.
00:37:13.425 --> 00:37:17.782
I met with every individual and there was some that weren't Catholic there, so I never forget.
00:37:17.822 --> 00:37:25.431
I met with this one lady and she was having a lot of problems there and I said what's your problem?
00:37:25.431 --> 00:37:25.820
She may.
00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:27.407
I want you to know I'm not Catholic.
00:37:27.407 --> 00:37:29.860
I said that's fine, that's what's your problem.
00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:40.248
So we went over there, I listened to her and then she complained about the traditional Catholics that may work unbearable there because they were condescended and they put them down.
00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:45.525
And so I talked to her and I said listen, and she goes.
00:37:45.525 --> 00:37:51.304
Oh, when she started out, she goes please don't talk to me about becoming Catholic, I don't wanna hear none of that.
00:37:51.304 --> 00:37:52.889
I said, no problem.
00:37:52.889 --> 00:37:54.766
I said God don't force himself, I won't.
00:37:54.766 --> 00:37:59.791
So I talked to her and then she had some physical problems.
00:37:59.791 --> 00:38:10.266
She had problems with her kids, all kinds so, but I let her talk and I let her open up, and then I told her listen, nobody should ever force God on you.
00:38:10.266 --> 00:38:11.503
So I apologize for them.
00:38:11.503 --> 00:38:16.750
I do believe they mean well, and I let her cry and they do all the stuff.
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:24.306
And then I said listen, I have to tell you as a priest that there is only one church, there is no cell, but anything I could ever do.
00:38:24.306 --> 00:38:29.543
If you have any questions about Catholicism you could call me two o'clock in the morning, I'll be there for you.
00:38:29.543 --> 00:38:34.706
And then I said to you I'm really concerned, anything we could do to help you with your problems.
00:38:34.706 --> 00:38:36.125
You know she's gonna adopt this.
00:38:36.125 --> 00:38:41.945
And then I told her listen, I know I'm not trying to force this on you, but I wanna make an offer to you right now.
00:38:41.945 --> 00:38:44.626
I have a relic of Padre Pio, saint Pio.
00:38:44.626 --> 00:38:45.942
Do you know who he is?
00:38:45.981 --> 00:38:50.748
So she, I said, if you want, I could bless you with this relic.
00:38:50.748 --> 00:38:56.708
Only if you want, don't feel no pressure, because I've seen many miracles being with the relic.
00:38:56.708 --> 00:38:59.708
And you know she said she was open.
00:38:59.708 --> 00:39:01.346
It's please, can you pray with me?
00:39:01.346 --> 00:39:05.590
So here's a woman going in, her main beef.
00:39:05.590 --> 00:39:09.289
Was these vicious traditionalists forcing God on her?
00:39:09.289 --> 00:39:12.789
And then she warned me don't talk about.
00:39:12.789 --> 00:39:16.543
But gradually she knew I was sincere and I did care about her.
00:39:16.543 --> 00:39:19.746
And a lot of people say, yeah, father Isaac, I don't believe you.
00:39:19.746 --> 00:39:21.023
You're rough and rough and all.
00:39:21.023 --> 00:39:25.244
No, I got it hot and so.
00:39:25.244 --> 00:39:32.628
But my whole point is I was able to pray with this woman and then she was open and I gave her my phone number so you call me anytime.
00:39:32.628 --> 00:39:36.282
So I just wanna think about that and that's the, and I'm not telling you.
00:39:36.282 --> 00:39:40.737
I'm perfect at doing these things, but we have to be compassionate, we have to.
00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:42.204
This is a good question from Jacob.
00:39:42.204 --> 00:39:46.788
Okay, so, father, how does the Magisterium's relationship with Christ work?
00:39:46.788 --> 00:39:56.608
If the Magisterium exercises its Christ Institute or authority on temporal matters of discipline, should we not treat it as if it's instruction from Christ?
00:39:57.059 --> 00:40:02.144
Yeah, but once again, christ gave the vicar of Christ the gift of infallibility.
00:40:02.144 --> 00:40:04.583
But Vatican, I defined that infallibility.
00:40:04.583 --> 00:40:13.081
In order for the Pope to speak from the chair of Peter, he has to say number one I am speaking as Peter, the Pope, the head of the church, the visual head.
00:40:13.081 --> 00:40:20.806
I am gonna define a dogma that's already in the deposit of faith that was taught from Christ to the apostles.
00:40:20.806 --> 00:40:24.938
So, in other words, no Pope can make up a dogma.
00:40:24.938 --> 00:40:30.909
The, the, the positive faith, ceased when St John the Evangelist died, all right.
00:40:30.909 --> 00:40:34.724
So he has to make it clear that this has been in the positive faith.
00:40:35.105 --> 00:40:40.431
And when you read the, the declaration, he don't go through the fathers, the doctors and everything.
00:40:40.431 --> 00:40:44.565
Number two, number three, says this is blinded on all Roman Catholics.
00:40:44.565 --> 00:40:47.856
If you don't accept this, you place yourself outside the church.
00:40:47.856 --> 00:40:51.043
And then he has to promulgate it properly with paperwork.
00:40:51.043 --> 00:40:54.516
At that point he is infallible.
00:40:54.516 --> 00:40:57.222
Infallible cannot be wrong.
00:40:57.222 --> 00:41:04.626
And then the only the other time he's infallible is at a council, the bishops in union with the Pope.
00:41:04.626 --> 00:41:07.996
It can't be the bishops alone, they have to be in union with the Pope.
00:41:07.996 --> 00:41:11.208
And then the Pope has to go through those steps again.
00:41:11.208 --> 00:41:22.983
You know, and the only other time we could say the authentic teaching, that extraordinary Magisterian or Churching or Magister, is the teachings for 2000 years that have been in continuity.
00:41:22.983 --> 00:41:34.518
So when they say, well, vatican II, no, vatican II was 60 years ago a contradict, not everything contradicts doctrine, but a good amount of things do.
00:41:34.518 --> 00:41:39.733
So anything in it that contradicts doctrine is not infallible.
00:41:39.733 --> 00:41:46.748
So this is what you have to study Study the councils, or 20 councils, that define doctrines infallible.
00:41:47.155 --> 00:41:52.773
It cannot be wrong, you know a lot of mothers are saying I saw this a couple of times.
00:41:52.773 --> 00:41:58.454
So with all of life's distractions, a lot of what with young children, it's difficult for them to advance in prayer.
00:41:58.454 --> 00:42:01.981
Do you have any tips for anybody to advance in mental prayer?
00:42:01.981 --> 00:42:02.447
Maybe some?
00:42:02.521 --> 00:42:03.302
techniques you can use.
00:42:03.302 --> 00:42:06.449
Yes, of course, first of all you have to know what it is.
00:42:06.449 --> 00:42:15.275
You know, and prayer is such a beautiful thing Because mental prayer you can't become a saint without doing it.
00:42:15.275 --> 00:42:28.416
But there's vocal prayer first, right, when we pray together, rosaries, we do prayers publicly at Mass, we have rosary processions, which is awesome and that's really good, it's necessary, it's very powerful.
00:42:28.416 --> 00:42:38.228
Matter of fact, saint Louis, the Bible, tells us it's much more powerful praying with a, with 20,000 people saying rosary rally, then praying alone, you know, with the rosary.
00:42:38.228 --> 00:42:39.016
So that's true.
00:42:39.016 --> 00:42:46.376
But the prayer that's going to make you real saint too is your quiet prayer and your mental prayer.
00:42:46.838 --> 00:42:50.865
And mental prayer is very simple Conversation with God.
00:42:50.865 --> 00:42:53.759
Saint Teresa of Alessia, I mean, that's simple, right?
00:42:53.759 --> 00:42:57.932
So a conversation with God where it takes two people, right?
00:42:57.932 --> 00:43:00.420
So you God's divine person?
00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:02.186
We're not, but we'll talk to him.
00:43:02.186 --> 00:43:06.641
And nobody likes when you, someone does all the talking.
00:43:06.641 --> 00:43:12.867
So people probably say, yeah, you better shut up already, father, you're doing too much talking tonight, but it's so.
00:43:12.967 --> 00:43:17.442
When you talk to God, then there comes a point where you bring everything before him.
00:43:17.442 --> 00:43:22.541
Whatever you want, whatever, whatever is in your heart, you want to share your affections.
00:43:22.541 --> 00:43:34.898
That's what happens in mental prayer, not with your tongue, but in your heart, in your mind, and then after that there comes a point of silence, just sit there, be still and know that I am God.
00:43:34.898 --> 00:43:43.889
And like there's books out there that are just phenomenal on mental prayer and there's methods like to say, it gives you a quick method.
00:43:43.889 --> 00:43:46.115
Say, saint Peter of Alcantara is great for it.
00:43:46.115 --> 00:43:51.936
You make the sign of the cross First, you set a time aside just for that prayer, just for that prayer.
00:43:51.936 --> 00:43:57.822
And then, if you make the sign of cross, you call on your God in Angel to help you not be distracted.
00:43:57.822 --> 00:44:05.827
You call on the Blessed Mother please bless the mother, grant me the grace to enter into this precious time with God and be with me.
00:44:05.827 --> 00:44:19.036
And then whatever saints you want, then you just takes your body, takes you a while to settle down, and it's a beautiful day because God's going to touch your soul, he's going to speak to your heart and he will touch your soul.
00:44:19.036 --> 00:44:20.902
And there's a lot we could talk.
00:44:20.902 --> 00:44:26.507
I told Antony, maybe one day we could do a whole show on mental prayer and really go over the parts.
00:44:26.507 --> 00:44:28.753
And we need guides with that too.
00:44:28.753 --> 00:44:33.657
That's why we're so blessed in the Catholic Church we have all these saints, st Teresa of Alvarez and John and Cross.
00:44:33.657 --> 00:44:35.403
I go on and on and on.
00:44:35.403 --> 00:44:37.672
That will teach us how to do these prayers.
00:44:37.693 --> 00:44:41.780
St Alphonse wrote a book, what's it called?
00:44:41.780 --> 00:44:44.547
Great Means of Perfection and Salvation.
00:44:44.547 --> 00:44:51.346
He wrote a treatise that can, against the chanceness and what you, learn how to pray.
00:44:51.346 --> 00:44:53.737
He has a little book, booklet Get Us.
00:44:53.737 --> 00:44:56.403
It's how to Love God or how to Speak to God at All Time.
00:44:56.403 --> 00:45:01.382
I could give Antony the exact title and he teaches you how to talk with God.
00:45:01.864 --> 00:45:04.096
But the thing is, dedicate that half hour.
00:45:04.096 --> 00:45:09.568
The saints of Alvarez guarantees you do a half hour mental prayer every day for six months.
00:45:09.568 --> 00:45:12.320
You're going to, your spiritual life is going to.
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.880
You're going to be at a whole other plateau and it's awesome.
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:17.746
It's awesome the more you do it.
00:45:17.746 --> 00:45:19.391
And then you're going to go through trials.
00:45:19.391 --> 00:45:21.364
I'll be honest with you, no doubt about it.
00:45:21.364 --> 00:45:25.239
Because then, in the beginning, god's going to bless you with all these consolations.
00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:27.125
I saw our Anthony when you had your conversion.
00:45:27.125 --> 00:45:30.987
You're like you can almost feel God's presence and you're on fire.
00:45:30.987 --> 00:45:42.867
But then after a while he says all right, big boy, it's time to wean you off of the milk and give you some meat, and then comes the dryness, then comes the distractions, and then you prove your love for God.
00:45:42.867 --> 00:45:43.628
Are you going to run?
00:45:43.628 --> 00:45:44.876
You know?
00:45:44.876 --> 00:45:48.103
No, there was a great book I read years ago.
00:45:48.103 --> 00:45:50.206
It was called appointment with God.
00:45:50.206 --> 00:46:01.608
He says you know, you make your schedule for the day, especially if you're a businessman or even house wife to do Like well, make in that schedule most important part is your private time with God.
00:46:01.608 --> 00:46:06.585
Your private time, oh wait, but the kids.
00:46:06.585 --> 00:46:07.608
Let me give you one tip.
00:46:08.108 --> 00:46:10.994
So I was in Madison for a while.
00:46:10.994 --> 00:46:13.545
I had a chapel with the Bishop's Commission, all that.
00:46:13.545 --> 00:46:16.034
So I had a bunch of home schools come in.
00:46:16.034 --> 00:46:18.059
I used to preach on all the stuff, prayer.
00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:21.967
And I said listen, little Johnny, over there, he's talking.
00:46:21.967 --> 00:46:24.942
That means if he could talk to you, he could talk to God.
00:46:24.942 --> 00:46:27.737
So I want you to take your children every day.
00:46:27.737 --> 00:46:33.248
Some of them have 10 kids, eight kids, and they said each kid say, john, five minutes.
00:46:33.248 --> 00:46:34.797
I want just you and God.
00:46:34.797 --> 00:46:36.742
Don't talk with your mouth, use your head.
00:46:36.742 --> 00:46:39.288
And guess what they told me.
00:46:39.288 --> 00:46:41.418
Father, you can't believe it.
00:46:41.418 --> 00:46:46.179
My kids, some of them, come to me, my, it's my turn now to do my private prayer with God.
00:46:46.179 --> 00:46:49.806
And these little kids will do a mental prayer at such a young age.
00:46:49.806 --> 00:46:54.414
St Teresa the little flower her father said she started doing mental prayer one years old.
00:46:56.077 --> 00:47:24.896
Well, well, that's honestly probably partly because of her father, right, and we were talking to dinner about how much of a crisis of fatherhood we're dealing with right now and that comes from fatherhood in the church at the highest point, right, like we're dealing, like the whole church is in the church is a crisis of fatherhood, but that trickles down all the way into the family and it's I think even a lot of traditional families don't realize how how much our own file like this was.
00:47:24.896 --> 00:47:32.621
This was part of my conversion, was me seeing my own father drastically lacking right, I wasn't being the, the priest of my home.
00:47:32.621 --> 00:47:46.554
Now, obviously, the, the my priesthood is not the same as your priesthood, but I still do have care for my children's souls and I have a duty to make sure that my children aren't going down and putting themselves near the occasion of sending things like that.
00:47:46.695 --> 00:47:49.963
Not only that, but God gives you the grace for your vocation.
00:47:49.963 --> 00:47:52.559
Your grace is to teach, that is, to guide them.
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:53.583
So it's built in.
00:47:53.583 --> 00:47:56.597
It's just that you weren't tapping into it, but I think you are now.
00:47:56.797 --> 00:47:57.420
Yeah, it took.
00:47:57.420 --> 00:48:23.168
It took a long time for me and it's like the last I was telling father at dinner, like I had a pretty deep prayer experience of just recently, just God putting on my heart that like there are so many young families now like I think I think really back to my own upbringing and how much my parents thought just bringing me to mass would be enough and just you know, maybe throwing me in the occasional youth group or something like that.
00:48:23.168 --> 00:48:31.072
But like really getting your children to grasp the faith takes so much more from fathers and it's.
00:48:31.072 --> 00:48:35.141
It can't be left to mothers to bring the children up and cataclyse the children.
00:48:35.141 --> 00:48:36.887
It really needs to be the father's role.
00:48:37.215 --> 00:48:38.641
Well, I doubt in this.
00:48:38.641 --> 00:48:42.597
It's so important because kids, you know they learn by example more than anything.
00:48:42.597 --> 00:48:44.929
You little boys want to do everything the father does.
00:48:44.929 --> 00:48:48.503
You know they want to paint, they want to do this or anything the father does.
00:48:48.864 --> 00:48:56.664
But when you I just went to, a good friend of mine passed away and his daughter gave a little testimony.
00:48:56.664 --> 00:49:01.985
It was so beautiful, she has five, five, six kids now and she's grown up.
00:49:01.985 --> 00:49:12.297
But she said when she worked him and had and her father was a big executive, real big work for big corporation, and you know what they would do every day.
00:49:12.297 --> 00:49:14.586
They would meet at St Patrick's, said I have.
00:49:14.586 --> 00:49:20.911
I see my father walking, was at the shake case and is you know his trench coat and putting it down.
00:49:20.911 --> 00:49:23.199
I see him on his knees praying to get there before me.
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.755
She goes out so proud, my father and she loved it, and then they go have a little lunch.
00:49:27.836 --> 00:49:29.820
But what a father he was.
00:49:29.820 --> 00:49:30.260
That he.
00:49:30.260 --> 00:49:32.585
He led by example.
00:49:32.585 --> 00:49:34.268
You know he led by example.
00:49:34.268 --> 00:49:36.664
And so you know this is it.
00:49:36.664 --> 00:49:49.780
And this is why I say it's important that your fathers have to be men of prayer, because if you're not going to pray, you're going to have short patience and this and that, and everyone has their, their prominent advice and you got to make sure that that's not going to push your children away.
00:49:49.780 --> 00:49:56.387
You got to overcome those vices and by doing those prayers, that mental prayer, every day, god's going to guide you and show you.
00:49:56.387 --> 00:50:01.400
But the example like this girl, people, people crying and her son talked.
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:04.748
His son talked about the example as Father gave him put.
00:50:04.748 --> 00:50:11.855
His father was God first, then the family and and he really touched their lives in a beautiful way.
00:50:11.855 --> 00:50:15.081
You see them growing up, handing down to her children now.
00:50:15.081 --> 00:50:17.248
So you're right, you got to do it.
00:50:18.155 --> 00:50:22.447
Ben Dackey is asking can you speak on why getting drunk is a mortal sin?
00:50:23.934 --> 00:50:38.119
Because anything that will alter your state of consciousness is bad, because when you get drunk you're going to do things that you never did if you were straight and once you so you just lose your mind, kind of you know you got it.
00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:38.721
It's bad.
00:50:38.721 --> 00:50:47.918
I mean, how many people are sitting in jail now because they got drunk and they blacked out and killed somebody and and they got to regret it the rest of their life?
00:50:47.918 --> 00:50:52.677
Now that you say things that you will never say, you know everybody's different when they drink.
00:50:52.677 --> 00:51:06.407
Some people get violent, some people get quiet, but the main thing, it alters your state of consciousness where you you feel like you're not responsible for your thing but you are, and there ain't nobody gets drunk that doesn't regret what they do.
00:51:07.255 --> 00:51:12.094
Yeah, we had a glass of wine at dinner, but a glass of wine is not getting drunk right.
00:51:12.094 --> 00:51:26.577
Like I was telling Rob, the last time I drank I did a shot and it's like it really hit me how, like doing a shot, you're not sipping it to appreciate the taste of the alcohol, Like you're doing it to like that was.
00:51:26.577 --> 00:51:30.731
There was something wrong just in, just in the idea of doing a shot.
00:51:30.751 --> 00:51:33.418
The only reason for a shot is to be an ebriated.
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:36.485
Yeah, like you said you want anybody.
00:51:36.485 --> 00:51:38.356
See, the thing is, this is the problem.
00:51:38.356 --> 00:51:47.445
Our Lord said in the gospel come to me all those who are heavy burdened, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light and I will.
00:51:47.445 --> 00:51:49.911
I will give you a soul rest.
00:51:49.911 --> 00:51:51.657
He doesn't say to go to the bottle.
00:51:51.657 --> 00:51:54.405
They'll say go to drug, sex, pornography.
00:51:54.405 --> 00:51:55.650
He says come to me.
00:51:55.650 --> 00:51:57.034
And you know I had.
00:51:57.034 --> 00:51:58.822
I was away from him to 17 years.
00:51:58.822 --> 00:52:00.128
I had to learn the hard way to.
00:52:00.128 --> 00:52:04.983
When I finally came to him I said what an idiot all those years, you know.
00:52:04.983 --> 00:52:08.634
But when I came to him he's not lying, I pray with.
00:52:08.673 --> 00:52:11.202
People are in the most desperate situations.
00:52:11.202 --> 00:52:20.331
I mean desperate on the debt that on people that have been abused sexually, people have been beat up and filled with hatred.
00:52:20.331 --> 00:52:22.798
And I said no, let's go to Jesus, I'll take you there.
00:52:22.798 --> 00:52:25.467
And I said he said I say to Jesus.
00:52:25.467 --> 00:52:28.115
You said you'll give myself my soul rest.
00:52:28.115 --> 00:52:29.240
I need rest now.
00:52:29.240 --> 00:52:35.463
But unfortunately, if you go there first, you'll never have to go to the alcohol, you'll never have to go to anything else.
00:52:35.463 --> 00:52:36.889
We just have to listen.
00:52:37.231 --> 00:52:39.981
Now he does give us rest, but his burden isn't very light.
00:52:39.981 --> 00:52:46.519
I got to take that up with him, but he says, I will he does give us rest, but that burden is pretty heavy.
00:52:47.481 --> 00:52:52.701
Oh, carrying your crosses that piece comes to his soul that's on the verge of suicide.
00:52:52.701 --> 00:52:53.141
I do.
00:52:53.141 --> 00:52:57.934
A lot of people are suicidal and that it's beautiful.
00:52:57.934 --> 00:53:01.650
Because and this is another thing how do you teach little kids how to pray?
00:53:01.650 --> 00:53:04.721
The first thing you have to teach them is who Jesus is.
00:53:04.721 --> 00:53:09.516
I think even most adults, most Catholics, really don't know who Jesus.
00:53:09.516 --> 00:53:11.865
I never forget and I'm going to recommend the book.
00:53:11.865 --> 00:53:13.251
I really hope you get it.
00:53:13.251 --> 00:53:17.422
The Comalite Nuns in Colorado sell it because it's hard to get, even fun.
00:53:17.983 --> 00:53:22.273
Is Jesus King of Love?
00:53:22.273 --> 00:53:26.161
Jesus King of Love by Father Mateo, the one who started a home in Throne.
00:53:26.161 --> 00:53:35.132
That book is so simple to read but I can read it over and over again because he really shows you who Jesus really is.
00:53:35.132 --> 00:53:36.916
Yes, he's our God.
00:53:36.916 --> 00:53:43.039
Yes, you know, but so many people have the image of God he just wants to crush us and send us to hell.
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:45.184
No, our Lord is awesome.
00:53:45.786 --> 00:53:50.764
I recommend that book, read that kit to your kids, even a page and I they'll get to know.
00:53:50.764 --> 00:53:54.840
Because if you think he's the big bad wolf, why are you going to run to the big bad wolf?
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:55.963
You know.
00:53:55.963 --> 00:54:04.914
But if you really realize and understand and tell stories, father Mateo tells beautiful stories and the kids will want to read the life to the saints.
00:54:04.914 --> 00:54:07.420
They're going to stop saying this is awesome.
00:54:07.420 --> 00:54:09.306
This has been in any movie out there.
00:54:09.306 --> 00:54:13.362
When you read the stories of Don Bosco I can recommend on YouTube.
00:54:13.362 --> 00:54:20.090
Now you got a young man with the American Needs, fatima, and he's reading from Don Bosco 19 volumes.
00:54:20.090 --> 00:54:22.117
He tells all these stories that go on.
00:54:22.117 --> 00:54:25.547
He's got over 70 of them I think now, or 170.
00:54:25.547 --> 00:54:26.730
They're awesome.
00:54:27.632 --> 00:54:40.891
I would say also, like part of the reason I invited Father Isaac over was because it's so important to have in person, fraternal like you need to have like community, like.
00:54:40.891 --> 00:54:41.914
It really is important.
00:54:41.914 --> 00:54:49.099
You can't just live your Catholic life online and it's it's why it's like I went and I took that trip to Ohio to go meet Rob.
00:54:49.099 --> 00:54:50.403
It's when we get off of here.
00:54:50.403 --> 00:54:53.054
I, when I, when I realized Father Isaac drove up here.
00:54:53.054 --> 00:54:55.550
Father Isaac, we're going to invite you to something in September.
00:54:55.550 --> 00:55:17.724
We're going to Pennsylvania, but Father Dave Nix is coming, a couple of our friends are coming, but you're going to come to that with us too, because it's so important that you get together in person with, like whether it's your parish or whether it's just a group of men, and form a men's group, like if you're trying to live your faith out on an island by yourself, it's going to be a hundred times more difficult than if you have people to actually have, without a doubt.
00:55:17.744 --> 00:55:23.163
As a matter of fact, when we look at the beginning of the church, you know all the Lord had.
00:55:23.163 --> 00:55:27.737
Peter Paul, you know, in Rome, right, and Rome was a God.
00:55:27.737 --> 00:55:29.322
Jesus is how awesome God is.
00:55:29.322 --> 00:55:30.648
He used the Romans.
00:55:30.648 --> 00:55:34.284
They had the Roman Empire, so he used them to convert the whole world ultimately.
00:55:34.284 --> 00:55:36.835
And so, but when they were in Rome, what would they do with?
00:55:36.876 --> 00:55:47.083
The Catholics were faced with Orges, the decanate society, just like God's today, and the bottom line is that they weren't told to flee.
00:55:47.083 --> 00:56:06.505
You are called to be in the world, but not of the world, and I always advised, like Father John Haughton, and never forget, he says in those days, a Catholic, they would never miss receiving the Eucharist every day If it was available, because they knew they couldn't endure the onslaught, the persecution.
00:56:06.505 --> 00:56:10.157
Okay, they couldn't do it, and so this is what you got to do.
00:56:10.157 --> 00:56:11.483
I agree we're not meant to be.
00:56:11.483 --> 00:56:19.356
You need to be other families that think the same because, let's face it, the average family is pagan today, so you can't have your children hanging out.
00:56:19.356 --> 00:56:24.092
The next door neighbor who's into Harry Potter, pokemon and Disney?
00:56:24.092 --> 00:56:25.376
All that crap is from hell.
00:56:25.376 --> 00:56:26.179
I'm playing English.
00:56:26.179 --> 00:56:27.143
You can't do it.
00:56:27.867 --> 00:56:30.034
That's a really hard one, right Like you, okay.
00:56:30.034 --> 00:56:41.364
So the last time you came, when you talked to us about Tina Francis Liguri, how he was saying, like you, use it the hardest sermons you preached, but when you were telling parents they can't have their siblings sleeping in the same bedroom, right the same bed.
00:56:42.436 --> 00:56:44.760
And that video cost me $700.
00:56:45.822 --> 00:56:46.724
What was that?
00:56:46.724 --> 00:56:48.068
I'll put separate beds now.
00:56:49.675 --> 00:56:52.105
Got bunk beds and rearranged the whole house.
00:56:52.184 --> 00:56:54.594
It's always worth a lot of $700,000.
00:56:54.996 --> 00:56:55.237
Yeah.
00:56:55.677 --> 00:56:56.500
So listen.
00:56:56.500 --> 00:57:09.202
So I looked that thing up and I also looked in there and there was something else in that same sermon talking about like letting your kids hang out with kids that are like non-Catholics and things like that.
00:57:09.202 --> 00:57:16.427
It's like see how Francis hits hard man, like he really like makes you go oh boy, he's the most compassionate in the end.
00:57:16.829 --> 00:57:28.231
I mean, when you see, when you know God on a level that he did, and he knows the enemy's tactics, I gotta be willing to lay my life down, so, but why should all my people perish for ignorance?
00:57:28.231 --> 00:57:34.568
I got a life, yeah, so, and it's tough, but the two sermons are two things.
00:57:34.568 --> 00:57:37.657
That and the dogma no salvation outside of Catholic Church.
00:57:38.201 --> 00:57:58.208
Yeah, what I would say is, when you read these, when you read the saints, the traditional saints, it's like, guys, we are so infected by modernism Like I don't care how traditional you think you are, you are so infected by modernism, feminism, it's insane, Like because the man doesn't want to suffer.
00:57:58.588 --> 00:58:00.916
The man don't want to have to fight for anything.
00:58:00.916 --> 00:58:02.139
Let me tell you something.
00:58:02.139 --> 00:58:03.945
Like you know, I grew up.
00:58:03.945 --> 00:58:07.538
I was very shy kid, believe it or not, really shy.
00:58:07.538 --> 00:58:12.856
I was very introverted and there was a bully next door to me and he always tried to get me.
00:58:12.856 --> 00:58:15.704
He was old, big Irish kid and never forget his name, sean.
00:58:15.704 --> 00:58:18.554
And so one day this kid had me.
00:58:18.554 --> 00:58:22.284
He was trying to get me and my sister ran the house to get my father.
00:58:22.344 --> 00:58:23.507
My father was a tough guy.
00:58:23.507 --> 00:58:25.681
He's a Korean War boxer.
00:58:25.681 --> 00:58:27.929
So, my father, I come in.
00:58:27.929 --> 00:58:28.612
He goes where you going?
00:58:28.612 --> 00:58:31.567
I said, no, where dad, because I knew if I told him he was going to want me to fight.
00:58:31.567 --> 00:58:33.896
He goes no, you're grabbing by my little chicken neck.
00:58:33.896 --> 00:58:35.099
Come on, go, son.
00:58:35.099 --> 00:58:39.818
You got to fight this guy because a bully will never bother you again, even if you lose.
00:58:39.818 --> 00:58:42.063
I said I don't want to fight Because you got no choice.
00:58:42.063 --> 00:58:44.260
So he goes, sean, you want to beat my son?
00:58:44.260 --> 00:58:46.708
He used another word and he goes yeah.
00:58:46.708 --> 00:59:04.500
So he pushed me towards his kid and I don't know what happened to me, but I beat the kid to a pulp and that day, from that day on I was a fighting machine, and I'm not saying God rejoiced in the fight, but you had to learn how to defend yourself in the streets of New York.
00:59:05.141 --> 00:59:15.360
But you know what, growing up like that and doing what I had to survive in the city, I don't think I'd be the priest I was today, because only God could take evil and use the good.
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:17.043
So now I fight for God.
00:59:17.043 --> 00:59:18.005
Now I'm willing.
00:59:18.005 --> 00:59:20.257
Okay, give me your best shot, whatever.
00:59:20.257 --> 00:59:23.304
I'd rather die than compromise.
00:59:23.344 --> 00:59:26.581
That's the problem in Catholic Church Day Compromise.
00:59:26.581 --> 00:59:27.545
I'm sick of hearing.
00:59:27.545 --> 00:59:30.896
Oh well, they're good priests, they just do with the bishop.
00:59:30.896 --> 00:59:33.266
I just had some priests try to take me to task.
00:59:33.266 --> 00:59:36.137
Tell me I don't smile, I'm too rigid.
00:59:36.137 --> 00:59:36.998
He didn't even know me.
00:59:36.998 --> 00:59:38.101
I said really.
00:59:38.483 --> 00:59:39.103
And then I saw it.
00:59:39.103 --> 00:59:39.965
We came down to it.
00:59:39.965 --> 00:59:42.706
I said he's telling me how great these young priests are.
00:59:42.706 --> 00:59:44.293
I said let me ask you something.
00:59:44.293 --> 00:59:51.179
I said so why did they listen to all these things that the bishop tells them they do, when they know it's a great mortal sin?
00:59:51.179 --> 00:59:56.317
And I went through a list and I said, father, do you accept the principle that there's no.
00:59:56.317 --> 01:00:04.567
The Catholic Church condemns that you can never use evil means to obtain good, ed, that that's a principle that we all have to accept.
01:00:04.567 --> 01:00:05.813
He wouldn't answer three times.
01:00:05.813 --> 01:00:11.306
I said I'm not going to stop till you answer the question Is that a valid principle or more?
01:00:11.306 --> 01:00:15.458
You cannot use evil to obtain good.
01:00:15.458 --> 01:00:19.206
Finally, because the guy knew I was going to say okay, yes.
01:00:19.206 --> 01:00:24.268
Well, that blew all his, his whole argument with me and so we can't, we can't.
01:00:24.268 --> 01:00:25.753
We got to stop compromising.
01:00:25.753 --> 01:00:33.297
Imagine if every priest in this country said no, I'm not giving communion on hand, so our Lord could be trampled upon.
01:00:33.297 --> 01:00:34.603
What would they do?
01:00:34.603 --> 01:00:35.947
We're going to fight them.
01:00:36.188 --> 01:00:36.489
Father.
01:00:36.489 --> 01:00:42.387
They've next looked like I was kissing butt and I bought St Francis wine.
01:00:42.387 --> 01:00:43.931
He said he's arm wrestling.
01:00:43.931 --> 01:00:45.155
Yeah, when we go.
01:00:45.556 --> 01:00:48.306
Well, my point is we got to stop this compromise.
01:00:48.306 --> 01:00:51.177
When is somebody going to stick up for the rights of God?
01:00:51.177 --> 01:00:54.527
All we hear is about I got these gays, the lesbians.
01:00:54.527 --> 01:00:56.574
What rights do you have?
01:00:56.574 --> 01:00:58.422
You don't have a right to offend God.
01:00:58.422 --> 01:00:59.931
He has no right.
01:00:59.931 --> 01:01:04.326
And so when are we gonna hear freest and men like you?
01:01:04.326 --> 01:01:06.563
I'd say no, I'm not compromised.
01:01:06.563 --> 01:01:10.601
What you could do is put me to death and you'd be doing me a favor.
01:01:11.074 --> 01:01:21.239
Yeah, I made the point the other day and I got a lot of pushback from it that I think the Novus order liturgy itself is one of the byproducts of it.
01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:21.782
Is you.
01:01:21.782 --> 01:01:28.318
It was like it was designed to make you accept compromise, like you start to.
01:01:28.318 --> 01:01:55.704
Part of me taking my faith so seriously had to do with going to the traditional liturgy and it just put like a fervor in me and it put like a zeal in me for my faith that was never there before and I think that a lot of the people that you see defending some of the things going on with the church right now, with the Synod, almost unanimously, they are people that go to the Novus order liturgy and I really think that is a byproduct of the liturgy itself.
01:01:56.295 --> 01:01:59.719
But the first thing the Novus order mass does is it masculates the priests.
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:05.141
The lay people come and you serve the rights of the priests and they let them, and this is bad.
01:02:05.141 --> 01:02:07.981
And so it's bad.
01:02:07.981 --> 01:02:09.005
The whole thing is bad.
01:02:09.005 --> 01:02:12.184
And then it's first to focus on the personality of priests.
01:02:12.184 --> 01:02:18.342
Yeah, the first priest is supposed to be persona Christi and that's why in the traditional mass his personality doesn't come through.
01:02:18.875 --> 01:02:23.574
It's much easier to meditate on the mysteries, but I, you know this is all part of the problem.
01:02:23.574 --> 01:02:34.079
They knew what they would do, and a good friend of mine, father James McLucas, I recommend he wrote an article, the best, one of the best article the emasculation of the priest.
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:37.101
To read that article and he talks about what happens.
01:02:37.101 --> 01:02:39.422
Like some priests can't even express themselves.
01:02:39.422 --> 01:02:40.717
Why is it?
01:02:40.717 --> 01:02:43.380
Why does it get me so mad when a lay person gets communion now?
01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:47.880
Because the lay person didn't get the command to feed my sheep.
01:02:47.880 --> 01:02:57.119
Until the lay person, my hands are anointed, I don't know day my ordination, that means consecrated, set apart for holy things, and so it's all.
01:02:57.119 --> 01:02:59.164
The devil is a master.
01:03:00.295 --> 01:03:06.923
I know what the answer to this is gonna be and I know a lot of people are not gonna like it, but what do you think about theology of the body, father?
01:03:07.275 --> 01:03:07.918
I call it.
01:03:07.918 --> 01:03:08.882
It's the wrong name.
01:03:08.882 --> 01:03:14.322
It's called theology from hell, because that man is a disgrace.
01:03:14.322 --> 01:03:16.920
I was called once to do.
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:18.905
They called me Milwaukee.
01:03:18.905 --> 01:03:26.485
They have 5,000 men every year for a conference up there and they said, father, we want you to be the main speaker.
01:03:26.485 --> 01:03:28.358
I said well, really.
01:03:28.358 --> 01:03:31.119
I said well, we could talk about it.
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.143
And I said you know how much money you want to give.
01:03:34.143 --> 01:03:35.340
I said I don't care about money.
01:03:35.340 --> 01:03:38.817
I said you know, give me a stipend, whatever Well, we could give.
01:03:38.817 --> 01:03:39.721
I said I don't really care.
01:03:39.721 --> 01:03:43.362
I said but who, more important, who else is gonna speak at this conference?
01:03:43.362 --> 01:03:47.025
Because I'm not gonna speak with just anyone, because I don't want my name attached to it.
01:03:47.025 --> 01:03:48.940
So he says, oh, this is gonna be great.
01:03:48.940 --> 01:03:51.018
He named the guy.
01:03:51.675 --> 01:03:52.539
He almost said it.
01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:58.221
Yeah, I don't have a problem saying it either, because it's not wrong, because I want it wrong.
01:03:58.221 --> 01:04:02.802
And so I said, oh, you mean?
01:04:02.802 --> 01:04:08.963
I said that pervert, he goes what I said, that rich pervert got rich off of heresy.
01:04:08.963 --> 01:04:10.780
I said this is a disgrace.
01:04:10.780 --> 01:04:19.945
I said the man Blasphene, he was recently on a radio show saying that he promotes unnatural vices for husband and wife.
01:04:19.945 --> 01:04:22.001
And I go on and on and on.
01:04:22.114 --> 01:04:26.920
He's in modest and he said you know, his greatest heroes were Hugh Hefner and John Paul.
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:36.164
I said, yeah, it makes sense, makes sense, but that stuff is from garbage that will lead you and your husband to hell if you follow it All we need.
01:04:36.164 --> 01:04:41.780
So for 2000 years the church couldn't survive without theology to party.
01:04:41.780 --> 01:04:45.099
Well, how come more people are on the way to hell now more than any time?
01:04:45.099 --> 01:04:49.885
Because the number one sin that leads souls to hell is sins of the flesh.
01:04:49.885 --> 01:05:02.907
Sins of the flesh and I'm a priest, I've heard in my missions, I used to hear confessions 12, 16 hours a day it is the number one sin leading souls to hell, to hell.
01:05:02.907 --> 01:05:08.543
So that stuff, I'm telling you we could go on a lot deeper detail with it it's wicked.
01:05:08.543 --> 01:05:13.277
He uses in modest language he Blasphene's.
01:05:13.277 --> 01:05:15.724
He tries to justify certain acts from the Old Testament.
01:05:15.724 --> 01:05:18.021
It was his blasphemous, bad.
01:05:18.655 --> 01:05:21.237
Now what about the actual original lectures by John Paul II?
01:05:21.237 --> 01:05:23.762
Do you think he said anything bad in those?
01:05:25.184 --> 01:05:26.070
I really recommend it.
01:05:26.574 --> 01:05:33.445
Yeah, I think I mean mainly Christopher West is the one who, like you know, took that and ran with it.
01:05:34.014 --> 01:05:35.057
So I told that guy.
01:05:35.057 --> 01:05:40.304
I said you want me to come and if he's there I'll spend my 45 minutes.
01:05:40.304 --> 01:05:42.702
You want I'll spend an hour ripping him to shreds?
01:05:42.702 --> 01:05:43.556
I said.
01:05:43.556 --> 01:05:46.438
But I said to him I said you know, sir, let me tell you something.
01:05:46.438 --> 01:05:51.143
You're doing something great, a miracle that you can get 5,000 Catholic men.
01:05:51.143 --> 01:05:54.963
But believe me, what a responsibility that you have.
01:05:54.963 --> 01:05:55.835
Who you?
01:05:55.856 --> 01:05:56.438
bring there.
01:05:56.994 --> 01:06:02.978
Because if you think the devil's gonna sit back while you take 5,000 men and try to give him the truth, he's gonna attack.
01:06:02.978 --> 01:06:04.438
So you bring him there.
01:06:04.438 --> 01:06:08.844
You're responsible for every act someone does that's against God, on you too.
01:06:08.844 --> 01:06:12.057
So 5,000 times it, and you know.
01:06:12.057 --> 01:06:14.525
So he said oh, I'll call you back.
01:06:14.525 --> 01:06:16.922
I said you want me, you gotta get rid of him.
01:06:17.735 --> 01:06:21.581
So, he said to me the guy he called well, we have a contract with him.
01:06:21.581 --> 01:06:23.260
I said you got a contract with hell.
01:06:23.260 --> 01:06:25.762
I said, and he says we can't have you come.
01:06:25.762 --> 01:06:26.880
I said let me tell you something.
01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:28.260
I feel sorry for you.
01:06:28.260 --> 01:06:29.519
You're gonna answer for this.
01:06:30.135 --> 01:06:40.782
I think that modern man, especially including myself, like I think that so like you really, you read about like the saints and the middle ages and stuff and the penances they would do.
01:06:40.782 --> 01:06:53.184
They would do these penances like like if somebody committed adultery they would do seven years of penance, you know, and it's like when we go to confession today you hear the I mean, I'm not even kidding my wife Three hill marries.
01:06:53.204 --> 01:06:53.965
Sorry Every time.
01:06:54.896 --> 01:06:56.481
It's either three hill marries or something.
01:06:56.755 --> 01:07:00.422
My wife went to confession the other day and she told me she started confessing something.
01:07:00.422 --> 01:07:05.643
And the priest told her because it was something from years ago and it was, you know, something that came up in her mind.
01:07:05.643 --> 01:07:08.121
She goes, oh, I remember, you know, I didn't confess this last time.
01:07:08.121 --> 01:07:09.802
It's something that it's an old memory that came up.
01:07:09.802 --> 01:07:12.463
The priest said, oh, you don't gotta worry about that, don't worry about that.
01:07:12.463 --> 01:07:15.340
And he just kind of like brushed her up and it was something that was really unconscious.
01:07:15.414 --> 01:07:27.284
So let me tell you the true teaching of the church on that and Saint Alphonse, who is the moral delusion, but all the church always taught that when you remember a sin that you know you never confessed, you are obliged.
01:07:27.284 --> 01:07:39.838
You don't have to run wide away because, like when I absolve someone, at the end I always say you sorry for these sins, all the sins of your past, even the ones you forgot, and as long as you're intentionally not withholding, you're forgiven.
01:07:39.838 --> 01:07:52.981
But once you remember your obliged, your next confession, say, father, before I start my confession from the last week, whatever, I remember the sin that I never confessed and it just popped up into my mind.
01:07:52.981 --> 01:07:54.239
So you're obliged.
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:54.619
Why?
01:07:54.619 --> 01:07:59.601
So that the priest then can give you penance to make reparation and torment for that sin.
01:07:59.601 --> 01:08:03.599
And then and it's very important, so you are obliged to do that.
01:08:04.155 --> 01:08:09.423
So now if a priest only gives us three Hail Marys and like, the sins are pretty serious sometimes for young men.
01:08:09.423 --> 01:08:12.518
I mean you're talking about guys that are going and they're confessing things.
01:08:12.518 --> 01:08:18.676
I mean they should be doing serious, especially if I mean guys if you're looking at things on the internet that you shouldn't like.
01:08:18.676 --> 01:08:22.141
You're never going to get rid of that habit if you don't do some serious penance.
01:08:22.215 --> 01:08:28.143
This is why the seminaries have to go back, and they won't, even the traditional ones.
01:08:28.143 --> 01:08:29.399
They hate St Alphonse.
01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:36.181
I was blessed to study him and he talks about what recivitous sin is and how you can't give them absolution.
01:08:36.181 --> 01:08:39.640
You have to delay it, give them remedies and uproot these vices.
01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:45.546
It's so, so important and we lost track of how bad sin is.
01:08:45.546 --> 01:08:56.983
Even the slightest venial sin is offensive for God, but a mortal sin, put it this way If you commit one mortal sin in your life, yours bad is every fallen angel in hell.
01:08:56.983 --> 01:09:03.038
Hell is loaded with billions of angels that non-serve you and I will not serve there in hell.
01:09:03.038 --> 01:09:04.684
Only one mortal sin.
01:09:04.684 --> 01:09:08.104
But most of us get many, many chances.
01:09:08.104 --> 01:09:12.662
So if you committed 10,000 sins, you're worse than 10,000 angels in hell.
01:09:12.662 --> 01:09:15.301
So we got to understand.
01:09:15.320 --> 01:09:25.722
This is where meditation, prayer, comes in, where you start meditating on the saints have such great writings on these things and you start realizing the horror of sin.
01:09:25.722 --> 01:09:27.078
What's the price of sin?
01:09:27.078 --> 01:09:31.579
That you crucified your savior, that he had to be nailed to a cross, he had to be crowned with dawns.
01:09:31.579 --> 01:09:33.962
And when you commit a mortal sin, you know what you're doing.
01:09:33.962 --> 01:09:35.780
You're spinning on Christ.
01:09:35.780 --> 01:09:42.345
You're driving the nails into his hands the spear into his side and so on and so on.
01:09:42.345 --> 01:09:45.420
You're scourging him and you say I don't care.
01:09:45.420 --> 01:09:48.582
And you're kicking the Holy Trinity out of your soul.
01:09:48.582 --> 01:09:52.155
You're saying get out, I don't want, friendship with you, I don't want.
01:09:52.518 --> 01:09:57.764
But when does it explain like that and this is way reading the saints?
01:09:57.764 --> 01:10:03.940
So we have to come to know Jesus, we have to understand his holiness, which we can never understand totally.
01:10:03.940 --> 01:10:12.680
But we're so surrounded with this and this is the problem with Vatican II they never talk about, after the council, what's happened in the confessional.
01:10:12.680 --> 01:10:15.061
Is it so breaks my heart.
01:10:15.061 --> 01:10:21.381
It's so sad, so sad because even in traditional parish they're giving just three hell ne'erys.
01:10:21.381 --> 01:10:24.359
It's bad, it's bad.
01:10:25.074 --> 01:10:29.105
Will you go around and do like parish speaking and stuff?
01:10:29.105 --> 01:10:30.148
Do you usually do?
01:10:30.332 --> 01:10:30.494
people.
01:10:30.494 --> 01:10:36.382
Well, I used to, but right now in my situation, my superior won't vouch for me, you know.
01:10:36.382 --> 01:10:43.104
But the other thing I want to make about confession with penance is now there's the devil loves.
01:10:43.104 --> 01:10:48.302
He don't care which direction you go, far left and far right, because he's got you.
01:10:48.302 --> 01:10:54.162
So there are some priests, unfortunately, and people tell me I said you got to be kidding.
01:10:54.162 --> 01:10:55.198
I had people.
01:10:55.198 --> 01:11:00.804
They told me they didn't even commit a moral sin, they had to do 15, 20 stations of the cross in church.
01:11:00.804 --> 01:11:06.587
I mean so the penance is supposed to be set to the offense.
01:11:06.587 --> 01:11:09.122
The greater the offense, the greater the thing.
01:11:09.122 --> 01:11:10.761
But St Alpha wants the priest.
01:11:10.761 --> 01:11:11.939
This is why he's so awesome.
01:11:12.055 --> 01:11:14.543
He goes, say I get a penitive, comes back.
01:11:14.543 --> 01:11:16.521
He's been away 25, 30 years.
01:11:16.521 --> 01:11:20.341
He committed most wicked models I can never give him enough penance to.
01:11:20.341 --> 01:11:29.020
So he says what you got to do, you got to give him a pen to say my son or whatever is this, if I gave you, say three rows is can you do that?
01:11:29.020 --> 01:11:30.158
Is that too much for you?
01:11:30.158 --> 01:11:31.639
And you have to listen to them.
01:11:31.639 --> 01:11:33.573
So far I don't even know the Hail Mary, no more.
01:11:33.573 --> 01:11:35.341
Okay, so I got to give any.
01:11:35.341 --> 01:11:36.478
So say how fun it is.
01:11:36.478 --> 01:11:40.039
You give him two forms, two part penance.
01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:42.483
One is mandatory, one is optional.
01:11:42.483 --> 01:11:55.784
So I always tell people, like when I have to do that, I say, okay, you have to do this rosary and I recommend that you do extra rosary day for the next month, whatever, but that's optional.
01:11:55.784 --> 01:11:57.320
I make sure they know it's optional.
01:11:57.555 --> 01:12:05.162
Yeah, because if you don't complete your penance, say, the priest gives you three rosaries, full rosaries, to do for your penance.
01:12:05.162 --> 01:12:08.295
So if you don't complete those rosaries, do you have to go back to confessing?
01:12:08.295 --> 01:12:08.454
If it's?
01:12:08.496 --> 01:12:09.418
intentionally.
01:12:09.418 --> 01:12:10.823
You've got to confess it, yeah.
01:12:10.823 --> 01:12:13.182
But the thing is, if it's just out of weakness too.
01:12:13.182 --> 01:12:27.041
But you could also, if you really did think there's a grave injustice, like 25, 30 stations across from here, ridiculous, and it wasn't even grave, so I was able to commute that for them, I'd say, okay, I'm going to commute that.
01:12:27.041 --> 01:12:30.703
Just say Pen Hill Marys, or not tell them.
01:12:30.703 --> 01:12:34.974
I usually give like a scripture reading that will help approach your primary advice.
01:12:35.055 --> 01:12:35.841
I don't think it's so much like that.
01:12:35.841 --> 01:12:44.444
It has to be so much as more just like kind of in tune to what you're, what you're struggling with, like when somebody comes in with a serious sin of pride.
01:12:44.614 --> 01:12:49.301
That's a primary advice, one of the things I'll say I want you to do to litany of humility.
01:12:49.301 --> 01:12:55.140
Yeah, you know, and when you have pride it's hard to even get those words out, but things like that.
01:12:55.140 --> 01:12:57.823
So the penance has to fit the crime.
01:12:57.823 --> 01:13:00.382
It has to be geared to uproot the vice.
01:13:01.675 --> 01:13:06.664
So Benjamin saying that, so he, what's the best way to overcome his frustration?
01:13:06.664 --> 01:13:09.243
Because, oh, would you do, you're not the wrong question.
01:13:09.494 --> 01:13:10.197
No, this is.
01:13:10.197 --> 01:13:11.520
You want to read this first.
01:13:12.283 --> 01:13:16.782
Oh, okay, I converted to Catholicism 20 years ago from a Baptist Pentecostal background.
01:13:16.782 --> 01:13:22.085
I've always struggled with mental prayer because of how abused the concept of God told me is.
01:13:22.085 --> 01:13:23.921
So you know what he's saying, right?
01:13:23.921 --> 01:13:25.139
Like you hear all the time.
01:13:25.139 --> 01:13:27.158
God told me this, god told me this.
01:13:27.158 --> 01:13:31.801
And then his next comment was how does he overcome his frustration?
01:13:31.801 --> 01:13:38.202
Because there's been many times in his prayer life where he believed God was telling him something, but that it wound up not being that.
01:13:38.595 --> 01:13:44.944
Well, one of the ways you could make sure is to get a spiritual director, someone who's competent and understand spirituality.
01:13:44.944 --> 01:13:55.498
And then I like, if people come to me and I'm helping them steadily, I'll say, if you think God's telling you something, do not act on it until you come to me and then help discern.
01:13:55.498 --> 01:14:03.279
Because, let's face it, like St Margaret Mary Alecowe, you know she was the sacred heart devotion that's given to her and God told her to go.
01:14:03.279 --> 01:14:05.899
You know, go to your spiritual director.
01:14:05.899 --> 01:14:17.823
You don't accept it at first that there's many stories where the director won't accept it, but then God will change his heart and you're blessed and protected by that obedience to your confessor or spiritual director.
01:14:17.823 --> 01:14:18.537
That's one way.
01:14:18.537 --> 01:14:21.743
But please don't ever give up on mental prayer.
01:14:21.743 --> 01:14:24.823
If you're doing mental prayer it's so important Keep doing it.
01:14:26.795 --> 01:14:36.061
So can a penance be a direct resolution to the harm caused by the sin, example given returning a stolen item or turning oneself in for the murder.
01:14:36.475 --> 01:14:45.444
Well, the church says you can never, you know incriminate yourself, but when it comes to if you steal something, you're obliged to make.
01:14:45.444 --> 01:14:47.457
What do you call?
01:14:48.020 --> 01:14:48.681
Restitution.
01:14:48.983 --> 01:14:51.340
Restitution, you have to give back.
01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:54.903
Number one the best way is to give it to where it was taken.
01:14:54.903 --> 01:14:56.640
But you don't incriminate yourself.
01:14:56.640 --> 01:15:01.546
So say you stole $150 at work.
01:15:01.546 --> 01:15:09.159
You sort and you know you do take $150, put it in an envelope without a and just put it.
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:12.159
You know, just send it to the office and they got the 150.
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:13.378
So you don't incriminate.
01:15:13.378 --> 01:15:16.264
But there is no forgiveness without restitution.
01:15:16.264 --> 01:15:20.380
So now say you're some gangster that converted, and believe me, it happens.
01:15:20.380 --> 01:15:26.783
So, father, you know I must have stole $200, you know $500,000.
01:15:26.783 --> 01:15:28.820
I can never make restitution for that.
01:15:28.820 --> 01:15:36.921
So then what you do is say well, listen, you're gonna have to do a lot of penance to make up, but I want you to get a pad, I want you to start keeping track.
01:15:36.921 --> 01:15:37.858
How much money?
01:15:37.858 --> 01:15:39.524
Do you have any money saved?
01:15:39.524 --> 01:15:40.958
But we'll give such.
01:15:40.958 --> 01:15:42.724
You know you got to give that.
01:15:42.724 --> 01:15:44.639
Saving how much money a week?
01:15:44.639 --> 01:15:45.402
And you keep track.
01:15:45.402 --> 01:15:48.224
So you show them God, you're paying them back, you're doing.
01:15:48.576 --> 01:15:49.380
That's a good question.
01:15:49.380 --> 01:15:54.680
So, like, if somebody commits adultery, is there a way to make restitution for that without telling your spouse?
01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:57.344
Because sometimes look, sometimes it would be.
01:15:57.344 --> 01:16:02.073
I would imagine it would be harmful to tell your spouse, right, like you don't want to destroy your marriage.
01:16:02.194 --> 01:16:04.462
Well, that's, you got some wisdom there.
01:16:04.462 --> 01:16:06.938
It's pretty good, don't?
01:16:06.938 --> 01:16:12.622
Get him that Don't get him that you did it, unless they're onto you.
01:16:12.622 --> 01:16:14.659
You don't want to be gaslighted.
01:16:14.779 --> 01:16:15.523
You don't want to lie.
01:16:15.603 --> 01:16:21.199
Yeah, like if your wife said listen, I know, I got this evidence, then you have to come clean.
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:23.636
But you know what the guys today?
01:16:23.636 --> 01:16:25.301
They want to come clean real quick.
01:16:25.301 --> 01:16:25.823
You know why?
01:16:25.823 --> 01:16:33.519
Because they're feminine, they don't want to carry it across that weight, why you want to give it to her and put her through that pain so that.
01:16:33.519 --> 01:16:38.922
And the other way you could make up for it is deny yourself yourself the marital act.
01:16:38.922 --> 01:16:42.618
If you want to request, say well, you know what, I'll offer this up.
01:16:42.618 --> 01:16:46.457
But if your spouse doesn't, you know you say yes, of course you have to.
01:16:46.457 --> 01:16:49.518
You don't have to, but that's maybe a good way, a little here or there.
01:16:50.135 --> 01:16:53.603
Yeah, I would imagine like but you do pennies like Mary Magdalene.
01:16:53.603 --> 01:16:59.939
She was a prostitute, seven demons, you know, yeah, and what A lot of goings in no more.
01:16:59.939 --> 01:17:04.480
You know that's how you make a lot of rep or a bike turning your life around.
01:17:05.574 --> 01:17:13.902
Yeah, it's funny that you're saying that like for a man it's like like, oh, I have to get this off my chest and go and tell my wife that, and then all of a sudden you tell your wife now she carries that burden around.
01:17:13.902 --> 01:17:17.706
Think of it like that's such a selfish, awful thing to do.
01:17:17.795 --> 01:17:21.525
But, like I said, it's big back you in the corner, then you do it.
01:17:21.525 --> 01:17:25.095
You know I've seen that room marriages and it wouldn't have been roomed yeah.
01:17:26.038 --> 01:17:29.203
Yeah, oh man, I want to smack a lot of men around.
01:17:29.203 --> 01:17:36.462
So how do people make restitution for looking at garbage on the internet because of how common it is in society today?
01:17:36.935 --> 01:17:38.863
Well, once again you've got to do pennies.
01:17:38.863 --> 01:17:42.282
And the thing is, you've got to pray for the gift of custody of eyes.
01:17:42.282 --> 01:17:46.658
Your eyes are the window to your soul, you know, and it's like a camera.
01:17:46.658 --> 01:17:53.818
Every time your eyes see something that is stored forever and the demons can bring that image up on your dead bed.
01:17:53.818 --> 01:17:55.636
Even I'm going to say so.
01:17:55.636 --> 01:17:56.341
It's really important.
01:17:56.341 --> 01:18:01.219
So, custody of the eyes, pray for that gift of purity, you know, pray for it.
01:18:01.219 --> 01:18:03.622
God says, I will give your heart's desire.
01:18:03.622 --> 01:18:17.159
And when it's for the salvation of your souls, the saints teach when you pray with humility and perseverance and it's for the good of your soul, it's infallibly efficacious, infallibly efficacious.
01:18:17.836 --> 01:18:29.119
I'm going to say this about that because, like you, have to think about how many people lose their faith and almost always it's because of violations of the sixth and ninth commandment.
01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:32.939
There are so many people who had the faith and they struggle with this thing.
01:18:32.939 --> 01:18:51.622
If you play around with mortal sin, like if you keep using that confessional as a revolving door, you're going to like you can't just keep tempting, testing God and committing the sin of presumption, Like it will catch up with you and it's like you'll never advance in the spiritual life until you get that nonsense out of your life.
01:18:51.954 --> 01:18:53.279
Well, forget about advancing.
01:18:53.279 --> 01:19:00.801
If you want to compare the spiritual life to a ladder with a hundred rungs, all steps on it, the first step is the bottom.
01:19:00.801 --> 01:19:05.920
Even when you're a recivitist sinner and when you keep on committing, you're not even on the first step.
01:19:07.082 --> 01:19:10.103
You have no spiritual life yeah, the spiritual life begins when mortal sin is.
01:19:10.103 --> 01:19:12.302
Yeah, like that's the beginning.
01:19:12.534 --> 01:19:15.123
And then God forbid you to all this confessional.
01:19:15.123 --> 01:19:17.322
And God's so awesome.
01:19:17.322 --> 01:19:23.503
Like, say, you're in a state of grace for 20 years and all the things you did you've got married for right.
01:19:23.503 --> 01:19:26.221
But if you commit a mortal sin, guess what?
01:19:26.221 --> 01:19:28.622
All that marriage is gone out the window.
01:19:28.622 --> 01:19:30.420
But guess how awesome God is.
01:19:30.420 --> 01:19:32.399
One you go to confession.
01:19:32.399 --> 01:19:40.600
One you go to confession and once you're absolved he gives you all those graces that you lost, that you accumulated, back.
01:19:40.600 --> 01:19:42.019
You don't have to do that.
01:19:42.019 --> 01:19:44.961
But when you're immortal sin, you can never marry a mortal sin.
01:19:44.961 --> 01:19:51.735
So the time, so say you stay away from the confessional week two weeks, those two weeks you could feed all the poor people in the world.
01:19:51.735 --> 01:19:52.600
You get nothing for it.
01:19:52.600 --> 01:19:54.895
You could offer up nothing but many.
01:19:54.895 --> 01:20:01.898
You go to confession, you're absolved in all the previous merits that you accumulated, that was supposed to restore, restore.
01:20:02.574 --> 01:20:06.618
You know, while we're talking about using the confessional as a revolving door.
01:20:06.618 --> 01:20:15.180
Father, can you speak to what St Alphonsus teaches about the limit, like the number of mortal sins?
01:20:15.199 --> 01:20:16.061
God will allow you to commit.
01:20:16.061 --> 01:20:23.940
St Alphonsus says it's almost like like there's a certain amount of mortal sin you can commit, and then God's where he comes out.
01:20:24.274 --> 01:20:38.298
St Alphonsus, not only in great saints, doctors, that everyone has a different number on their head, like we know, some people from the very late private revelation saints that they didn't help because they committed war.
01:20:38.298 --> 01:20:42.099
They're in hell, they lost their soul because of one mortal sin.
01:20:42.099 --> 01:20:50.618
And then there's others, and I use the example, say, of Dr Natasin, who was an abortionist and he killed.
01:20:50.618 --> 01:20:59.023
He said he murdered 75,000 babies and when his wife was pregnant with his son, he butchered his own son in his wife's womb.
01:20:59.023 --> 01:21:02.743
Well, he converted, cardinal John O'Carter converted him.
01:21:02.743 --> 01:21:17.625
And when he was baptized and guess what happens when you're baptized as an adult, not all your sins, not only his original sin cleans the wash, but all your mortal sins are gone.
01:21:17.625 --> 01:21:18.364
And guess what?
01:21:18.364 --> 01:21:22.800
He doesn't even have to make any atonement impregnatory for any of them.
01:21:23.635 --> 01:21:25.221
So who could figure out God's mystery?
01:21:25.221 --> 01:21:28.537
But there are some people who look like in Fatima, sister Lucie.
01:21:28.537 --> 01:21:36.532
They question about this one girl, and you know what our Lord's, our lady, said that she would be impregnatory till the end of the world.
01:21:36.532 --> 01:21:42.600
That's scary, because pregatory, one minute in pregatory, can feel like 50 years.
01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:44.939
They say, okay, so why?
01:21:44.939 --> 01:21:48.779
The only everybody says to me oh, a lot of why did.
01:21:48.779 --> 01:21:50.538
What could she have done?
01:21:50.538 --> 01:21:53.097
That she saved her soul, but she's gonna be.
01:21:53.097 --> 01:21:58.359
I said the only thing I could think of is that God gave her extraordinary graces, that she didn't cooperate.
01:21:58.359 --> 01:22:02.859
He had great plans for her, probably to be a great saint, and being that, she ignored it.
01:22:02.859 --> 01:22:03.282
That's it.
01:22:03.282 --> 01:22:10.063
But, saint Alpha, I'd say so when I was before I was born God knew you before he formed, created a world.
01:22:10.063 --> 01:22:12.463
He knew you before he formed you in the mother's womb.
01:22:12.463 --> 01:22:16.024
But he has a special vocation for each individual.
01:22:16.024 --> 01:22:18.863
Nobody else can fulfill that vocation.
01:22:18.863 --> 01:22:24.055
Nobody else can do what you are called to do, and that means evangelize too Cause.
01:22:24.055 --> 01:22:29.180
And then he says that there's only so many mortal sins that he'll let each person have.
01:22:29.180 --> 01:22:34.565
One person could be one another could be 50,123,000,000.
01:22:34.565 --> 01:22:35.167
We don't know.
01:22:35.614 --> 01:22:41.023
So he said that's why we have to walk, work out our salvation and fear and tremble it.
01:22:41.023 --> 01:22:53.462
Because if you and let me tell you the more sins, if you live a wicked life, like, unfortunately, I did, I tremble because I committed so many, unfortunately, I'm probably coming to the end of the list.
01:22:53.462 --> 01:22:57.320
And so the more you do, the more you, the more worried you should be.
01:22:57.320 --> 01:22:58.859
So you don't want it.
01:22:58.859 --> 01:23:01.101
Time is not in your possession.
01:23:01.101 --> 01:23:02.315
Oh, my Only.
01:23:02.315 --> 01:23:05.560
There's only time in this world and God's in charge of that.
01:23:05.560 --> 01:23:09.324
So walk as if every minute may be your last.
01:23:09.835 --> 01:23:11.862
It says in the book, in the Bible.
01:23:11.862 --> 01:23:15.604
Please ask that you know, if you keep your end before you, you will not sin.
01:23:15.604 --> 01:23:23.661
That's why you see the saints, sometimes always with a skull Saint Francis, saint Teresa of Avila, and so forth, because they're always meditated upon debt.
01:23:23.661 --> 01:23:36.220
And so, yes, that's it and Saint Alpha was on the side that he also assigned souls to each person to help him to have, because we don't go to hell alone and we don't go to heaven alone.
01:23:36.220 --> 01:23:40.064
So he counts on us to help get other people in heaven.
01:23:40.064 --> 01:23:43.283
Now, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the mediator of all grace.
01:23:43.283 --> 01:23:49.702
There's not one soul in heaven that didn't get there without her, because all the grace is flowed through her.
01:23:49.702 --> 01:23:53.545
But so she cooperating in everyone's salvation.
01:23:53.545 --> 01:23:58.177
But we can participate in the salvation of others too, everyone around us.
01:23:59.314 --> 01:24:03.038
People think that's crazy, that there's a limited number of mortal sin, right?
01:24:03.038 --> 01:24:05.863
I just want to give you an example of something.
01:24:05.863 --> 01:24:11.823
There was somebody, a very prominent Catholic, who had a very big problem with that.
01:24:11.823 --> 01:24:26.100
He was a very prominent Catholic, he ran a very big site and he used to rail against that and thought it was absurd that man has left the faith so he hit his number of mortal sin that he was able to commit.
01:24:26.335 --> 01:24:27.837
But you know why, too, he hated that?
01:24:27.837 --> 01:24:29.662
Because he knew he was living wicked life.
01:24:29.994 --> 01:24:30.979
But that's the point right.
01:24:30.979 --> 01:24:32.641
So it's like he made this.
01:24:32.641 --> 01:24:40.341
I'm not going to say who it was, but that person may have been using the confessionals or revolving doors, had such a problem with it, and now that person left the faith.
01:24:40.515 --> 01:24:43.542
And everyone out there it's say some Hail Mary's for that soul tonight.
01:24:43.542 --> 01:24:44.265
How hundred percent?
01:24:44.265 --> 01:24:47.444
Because we should not want anyone to go.
01:24:47.444 --> 01:24:48.579
And I hear these clowns.
01:24:48.579 --> 01:24:53.020
They condemn the bishops and the hierarchy and I'm strong with them too.
01:24:53.020 --> 01:24:58.685
I will point out what we have to beware, but I beg people, get on your knees and pray for the Pope.
01:24:58.685 --> 01:25:01.685
Pray for these bishops that are canceling priests.
01:25:01.685 --> 01:25:02.457
Pray for them.
01:25:02.457 --> 01:25:06.444
Why should God lose one soul that he shed his blood for?
01:25:06.444 --> 01:25:14.060
One drop in his blood is we should want to do anything possible to save a soul, and that's what God wants.
01:25:14.060 --> 01:25:17.542
That's why you love somebody's souls that became victim souls.
01:25:17.542 --> 01:25:18.878
Man, they love it.
01:25:18.878 --> 01:25:20.363
It's unbelievable.
01:25:20.363 --> 01:25:22.702
We have to pray, people, heaven.
01:25:23.222 --> 01:25:23.805
Absolutely.
01:25:23.805 --> 01:25:31.340
And look, and the thing is, if you still have a desire to, if you still have sorrow for your sins, you haven't met that limit.
01:25:31.340 --> 01:25:37.283
So, like guys, don't be scrupulous about that and think, oh, maybe I committed that many mortal sins.
01:25:37.283 --> 01:25:41.444
Like, if you still have sorrow for your sins and you still have a desire for God, go to confession.
01:25:41.454 --> 01:25:43.355
You gotta understand too when you.
01:25:43.355 --> 01:25:44.962
This is another problem, though.
01:25:44.962 --> 01:25:52.523
One of the reasons is this is when you commit a regular, I'd say, mortal sin, you always lose the theological virtue of charity.
01:25:52.523 --> 01:26:05.238
But if you commit a mortal sin against the faith, heresy say you lose all theological virtues faith, hope what's the opposite of hope to spare and charity you lose them all.
01:26:05.238 --> 01:26:07.162
So that's why they don't care.
01:26:07.162 --> 01:26:13.902
How can a person who lived the faith walk away from it Because he probably committed a sin where he lost all the theological virtues?
01:26:13.902 --> 01:26:18.344
And the only way they're gonna people make it back like that is people like you.
01:26:18.875 --> 01:26:19.859
A lady came.
01:26:19.859 --> 01:26:26.902
She asked the little children, are you willing to pray and make sacrifice for soul sinners?
01:26:26.902 --> 01:26:30.398
And you know what those little children said yes, right away.
01:26:30.398 --> 01:26:33.020
Yes, they put us to shame.
01:26:33.020 --> 01:26:37.389
And our lady said and you will suffer much, but I will be with you.
01:26:37.389 --> 01:26:39.556
I will be with you, our lady.
01:26:39.556 --> 01:26:41.404
Why did God let his mother suffer?
01:26:41.404 --> 01:26:42.579
She's the co-reductor.
01:26:42.579 --> 01:26:46.961
Nobody suffered more than Christ After the Blessed Virgin.
01:26:46.961 --> 01:26:48.626
She suffered for all of us.
01:26:48.626 --> 01:26:51.081
He made his mother suffer.
01:26:51.081 --> 01:26:52.404
We're all running from the cross.
01:26:52.404 --> 01:27:02.027
We have to run from the cross, and this is why I can't stress enough and it drives me crazy when people mock saints that are canonized.
01:27:02.027 --> 01:27:03.420
It drives me crazy.
01:27:03.420 --> 01:27:05.381
People say you love Saint Alpha too much.
01:27:05.381 --> 01:27:10.880
I thank God for him Because that man, if you read all his writings, you want to see your life change.
01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:13.520
I challenge you, read his books.
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:16.805
There's always 16 devotional books on the Eucharist.
01:27:16.805 --> 01:27:19.340
You name it, he wrote it.
01:27:19.340 --> 01:27:20.939
Your life will change.
01:27:20.939 --> 01:27:22.819
These saints will challenge us.
01:27:22.819 --> 01:27:23.823
They show us the way.
01:27:23.823 --> 01:27:25.279
They're showing us how to get to heaven.
01:27:26.114 --> 01:27:27.983
Okay, so let's get to a couple of questions here.
01:27:27.983 --> 01:27:29.541
So I know the answer to this.
01:27:29.541 --> 01:27:31.221
I know you did see it right.
01:27:31.221 --> 01:27:32.179
You saw the sound of freedom.
01:27:32.500 --> 01:27:32.761
Yes.
01:27:33.295 --> 01:27:33.862
What did you think of it?
01:27:34.835 --> 01:27:35.476
What I did.
01:27:35.476 --> 01:27:47.282
I probably should have bought a box of Kleenex in with me, because I had tears coming down my eyes, a bed of millstone wrapped around your neck and drawn into the depths of the ocean, than to leave these little ones astray.
01:27:47.282 --> 01:27:49.280
What that broke my heart.
01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:49.837
And it's true.
01:27:49.837 --> 01:27:51.462
I preach against this all the time.
01:27:51.462 --> 01:27:52.438
It's so true.
01:27:52.438 --> 01:27:56.439
What's going on in this diabolical country and our bishop.
01:27:56.439 --> 01:27:57.141
Shame on them.
01:27:57.141 --> 01:28:07.260
They're the biggest traffickers in the world, cause the US are the biggest offenders, and down at Catholic Charities at the border, they're doing this.
01:28:08.515 --> 01:28:09.579
So we gotta pray for this.
01:28:09.579 --> 01:28:10.858
Yeah, that movie.
01:28:10.858 --> 01:28:14.202
We gotta shout this and we can't be afraid to speak up.
01:28:14.202 --> 01:28:19.077
We, you know, blessed anyone who lays down his life for his brother.
01:28:19.077 --> 01:28:19.880
Blessed is he.
01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:22.943
I mean, we got enough, is enough.
01:28:22.943 --> 01:28:26.860
This is why I really think we're coming to the end of the fifth age of the church.
01:28:26.860 --> 01:28:29.323
And God's gonna, the rat is gonna come.
01:28:29.323 --> 01:28:35.081
The good will suffer with the bad, but he's gonna destroy most of the enemies of the church before he rebuilds it.
01:28:35.081 --> 01:28:38.182
But no, that spread that movie.
01:28:38.182 --> 01:28:41.885
And I love to shake that man, tim, our ballot's hand.
01:28:41.885 --> 01:28:47.578
And you know, because that we need more men, and he's not even Catholic, he's Mormon.
01:28:47.578 --> 01:28:50.842
I think we gotta pray for his conversion into the true church.
01:28:51.835 --> 01:28:52.918
Come on conversation with you.
01:28:52.918 --> 01:28:54.264
We'll get him in.
01:28:54.264 --> 01:28:55.680
What year are you ordained father?
01:28:56.155 --> 01:28:57.890
1999.
01:28:57.890 --> 01:28:58.936
Okay, it was all right.
01:28:58.936 --> 01:29:00.381
Before my 40th birthday.
01:29:02.194 --> 01:29:02.395
Okay.
01:29:02.395 --> 01:29:06.039
So are there any orders or seminaries you'd recommend to a young man?
01:29:06.039 --> 01:29:09.002
Boys, my boys aren't ready yet, but soon they may be.
01:29:09.135 --> 01:29:10.059
Simple answer no.
01:29:11.317 --> 01:29:12.502
It's a dangerous time.
01:29:13.295 --> 01:29:17.979
I think I tell them, man, I think you gotta wait, you gotta wait for the end of the chest guys.
01:29:19.184 --> 01:29:20.337
Yeah, yeah.
01:29:20.337 --> 01:29:32.132
It's a scary time, like my son's 17, and it's like I would be terrified if he told me at a vocation, if he had it tonight, mac, if you could have dinner with any saint, who would?
01:29:32.154 --> 01:29:33.099
it be no, no, no.
01:29:33.099 --> 01:29:37.081
If I could throw you off the stream right now without throwing father off, I would.
01:29:37.140 --> 01:29:37.563
What'd you say?
01:29:37.563 --> 01:29:38.815
I said.
01:29:38.815 --> 01:29:41.505
He said, if you could have dinner with any saint, who would it be?
01:29:41.505 --> 01:29:43.112
And I made the joke, you had it tonight.
01:29:43.395 --> 01:29:46.644
Yeah, with your wife, because she's a saint for dealing with you and anything.
01:29:46.654 --> 01:29:47.511
Yeah, it was with his wife.
01:29:48.095 --> 01:29:50.082
Yeah, she was a saint, he thought joke.
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:54.961
And you know what it's so difficult.
01:29:54.961 --> 01:30:00.280
I mean that says, I mean, listen, the Blessed Virgin is the greatest.
01:30:00.280 --> 01:30:03.502
I mean I'm not worthy, like my eyes are now.
01:30:05.365 --> 01:30:07.597
Yeah, Okay.
01:30:07.597 --> 01:30:08.461
What's next, Rob?
01:30:08.461 --> 01:30:12.420
Okay, so does a wife need a spiritual director as much as her husband?
01:30:12.420 --> 01:30:18.604
I always figured the husband was supposed to be the spiritual director of his wife, and if he fails then she needs to supplement his neglect.
01:30:18.935 --> 01:30:23.579
Well, I feel very sorry for any woman as a husband, for spiritual director, that's like suicide.
01:30:23.579 --> 01:30:30.698
No, I think, listen, the perfect thing is to have your own spiritual director, your own confessor, and it's good.
01:30:30.698 --> 01:30:32.524
But it's so hard to find one.
01:30:32.524 --> 01:30:36.817
So, pray to the Blessed Mother, help me to find a director, help me.
01:30:36.817 --> 01:30:42.698
He has to be good, he has to be fervent, he has to have zeal for souls and he has to be orthodox.
01:30:42.698 --> 01:30:45.480
And he has no spiritual life.
01:30:45.480 --> 01:30:47.680
I recommend it hardly.
01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:48.601
I recommend it hardly.
01:30:49.734 --> 01:30:51.983
Are you one of the consultants for the Son of Sin?
01:30:53.899 --> 01:30:55.243
If I was, there'd be big.
01:30:58.234 --> 01:31:12.543
That thing is such a disaster, and this is why we gotta pray, because the church is being dismantled brick by brick in front of our eyes, the first time in a history of church that lay people are gonna have to vote at a Senate.
01:31:12.543 --> 01:31:14.400
This is, it's sick.
01:31:14.400 --> 01:31:14.742
Why?
01:31:14.742 --> 01:31:16.541
Because they're not trained in theology.
01:31:16.541 --> 01:31:18.782
Even the bishops are not trained, are they?
01:31:18.782 --> 01:31:35.400
They're more than lay people and unfortunately, when you go over the list and I've studied some of it they're all sympathetic or are homos or lesbians, transgender, and so what are we most of the bishops too all pro-gay pros.
01:31:35.400 --> 01:31:45.627
I mean, I tell you what, if I was one of them walking into St Peter's, I would tremble like God's gonna send lightning bolts down, and I pray for them.
01:31:45.627 --> 01:31:49.400
I pray that they all can be converted, because souls are going to hell.
01:31:49.400 --> 01:31:50.900
How many souls embrace this stuff?
01:31:50.900 --> 01:31:52.100
They say who are you, isaac?
01:31:52.100 --> 01:31:52.938
You're not the pope.
01:31:53.961 --> 01:31:54.162
Thank.
01:31:54.181 --> 01:31:54.443
God.
01:31:55.618 --> 01:32:02.538
How do I explain to my children when they see differences between lukewarm family members and parishioners and our TLM parish?
01:32:02.538 --> 01:32:10.194
They even ask if, like some of those family members, are even Catholic because they see a drastic difference between the lukewarm and the people of their past?
01:32:10.215 --> 01:32:16.520
This is a good question because you know, children are amazing gifts that God gives them, especially the innocent ones.
01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:20.457
They perceive things that even the adults don't, and they shop.
01:32:20.457 --> 01:32:28.296
They can put things together like that and so you can't tell them when they're seeing Uncle Tommy living with a girl, that's not.
01:32:28.296 --> 01:32:29.762
You're really gonna lie to him.
01:32:29.762 --> 01:32:31.561
No, you can say you know what?
01:32:31.561 --> 01:32:43.881
Let's go over the apparition of Fatima where our lady said to the little, the three C's your age, six years old, nine years old, 10 year old, will you do penance for Uncle Tommy?
01:32:43.881 --> 01:32:48.145
You could help him and that's how you gotta do it.
01:32:48.145 --> 01:32:48.988
You don't deny it.
01:32:48.988 --> 01:32:51.622
That's a great, and you use samples like that.
01:32:51.975 --> 01:32:54.162
I tell you, my favorite is St Jacinta.
01:32:54.162 --> 01:32:57.744
She moves me, I feel like a worm.
01:32:57.744 --> 01:32:59.742
And you look at this little girl.
01:32:59.742 --> 01:33:01.980
She was so beautiful.
01:33:01.980 --> 01:33:09.304
So when our lady showed her hell, where the poor souls go, from that day on she did nothing but penance.
01:33:09.304 --> 01:33:12.604
In Portugal it'd be over 100, 115, 20,.
01:33:12.604 --> 01:33:18.516
They'd take care of sheep and she wouldn't even drink water the whole day dehydrate they would.
01:33:18.516 --> 01:33:22.082
Her family wasn't rich, but they had enough to give them food for lunch.
01:33:22.082 --> 01:33:26.543
All the kids in the neighborhood say, when they come out they give their food away for penance.
01:33:26.543 --> 01:33:29.957
If that little six year old just said to Couture, I would have had us.
01:33:29.957 --> 01:33:32.863
And so we gotta start tapping in.
01:33:32.863 --> 01:33:34.662
I'm telling you this lives of the saints.
01:33:35.095 --> 01:33:41.340
I recommend that never go to bed without reading from a biography of a saint, autobiography, biography.
01:33:41.340 --> 01:33:44.543
Read your children's stories of the saints.
01:33:44.543 --> 01:33:45.538
It's unbelievable.
01:33:45.538 --> 01:33:47.359
But their age too.
01:33:47.359 --> 01:33:49.957
When you read about little Jacinta, how can you not get?
01:33:49.957 --> 01:33:52.957
I mean, look at this, they're gonna.
01:33:52.957 --> 01:33:56.523
They kidnap them, right, the mayor and all that.
01:33:56.523 --> 01:33:58.782
And they separate the three seers.
01:33:58.782 --> 01:34:04.426
And they said to her if you don't deny the apparition, we're gonna put your cousins to death.
01:34:04.426 --> 01:34:07.259
And they all thought that they did that.
01:34:07.259 --> 01:34:09.670
Just a Lucia daughter yard screams.
01:34:09.670 --> 01:34:13.942
She thought your center was put in, was put to death, french, and then they didn't do it.
01:34:13.942 --> 01:34:14.591
But guess what?
01:34:14.591 --> 01:34:17.341
They did not deny the operation.
01:34:18.190 --> 01:34:25.440
So pray, no pray yeah, they threatened them with being boiled alive little kids, the young lady.
01:34:25.461 --> 01:34:35.252
I Always tell parents when, the minute from the kids born, consecrate the baby in the womb and then when you pray your family rosary, the father should be Leaving it.
01:34:35.252 --> 01:34:44.140
You pray that all the children never lose their baptismal innocence, never, never, and that the Blessed Virgin will reveal their vocation Now that they'll.
01:34:44.140 --> 01:34:44.930
You know what that means.
01:34:44.930 --> 01:34:54.377
I'll never commit a mortal sin and that's why little kids prayers, when they're, when they reach their praying, is so pure, so pure God, that what did God say?
01:34:54.377 --> 01:34:56.923
Yes to the saints because their will was one with God.
01:34:56.923 --> 01:35:01.354
And these little ones, when they will, so one we've got, and they grow ice.
01:35:01.435 --> 01:35:06.390
No kids have been praying that since they were babies that I I help bring up with the Family.
01:35:06.390 --> 01:35:08.856
I see such a difference in these all the kids.
01:35:08.856 --> 01:35:11.002
They're like 20s now, the rock solid.
01:35:11.002 --> 01:35:15.640
I think they're gonna be part of the troops that Saint Louis Muppet said that God's gonna raise up.
01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:18.313
In the end, the greater works than they think.
01:35:18.313 --> 01:35:23.463
So my point is get them like that and you got to start teaching them about sacrifice.
01:35:23.463 --> 01:35:25.000
All right, you have them.
01:35:25.650 --> 01:35:30.582
Yeah, I wish I would have done that from a younger age because I didn't have my Mike's conversion to the kids were a little bit older.
01:35:30.582 --> 01:35:40.012
How do you honor your mother and father if they're living in you know ways, contrary to the faith in being bad examples of the grand children I actually had some experience with?
01:35:40.012 --> 01:35:47.518
I was telling father a dinner that I had a little tension with my own father because of some things going on, but what would very easy.
01:35:48.470 --> 01:35:50.034
When you love someone, you will.
01:35:50.034 --> 01:35:53.342
The highest good man, the highest good is that they obtain heaven.
01:35:53.342 --> 01:36:00.038
So we would never want to confirm them in their areas, their sins At all, and we would never lead them into sin.
01:36:00.038 --> 01:36:02.260
So we speak the truth to them.
01:36:02.260 --> 01:36:13.077
Yes, they, if your father say your father's cohabitatin on your mother, say sorry, we can't come over to your house, and I would probably say you could come without your partner.
01:36:13.077 --> 01:36:17.774
But you, you know, you have to say the truth and you have to do Prayer, penance, one.
01:36:17.774 --> 01:36:19.041
That's how you honor them.
01:36:19.041 --> 01:36:23.520
But truth, you don't yell at them, you don't tell them you could you tell them the truth.
01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:25.087
You're not gonna save your soul.
01:36:25.087 --> 01:36:29.443
I love you, I'll do anything for you, we're gonna pray for you, and that's it.
01:36:29.443 --> 01:36:32.552
And if you do with charity in your heart, they won't be as fended.
01:36:32.552 --> 01:36:35.801
They know you're sincere and you're not just being self-righteous.
01:36:35.801 --> 01:36:40.679
You know, because your prayers you have to win, in fact.
01:36:41.813 --> 01:36:44.689
Any advice on how to bring prodigals back to the sacraments?
01:36:44.689 --> 01:36:48.170
I feel the more I pray for them and try to talk to them, the further they push back.
01:36:48.711 --> 01:36:52.439
Yeah, we'll see the bottom lights, or we're Americans and we like.
01:36:52.439 --> 01:36:54.884
It was like the same from Burger King.
01:36:56.333 --> 01:36:57.077
Have it your way.
01:36:57.890 --> 01:36:58.773
You know, whatever it was.
01:36:58.773 --> 01:37:02.439
So we, we wish you was that easy.
01:37:02.439 --> 01:37:03.301
Why don't you come back to church?
01:37:03.301 --> 01:37:04.064
All right, father?
01:37:04.064 --> 01:37:07.497
No, we, we got to do the hard part.
01:37:07.497 --> 01:37:09.342
We have to sometimes shut our mouth.
01:37:09.342 --> 01:37:13.319
That's a hard part sometimes and we have to wear on the ease out.
01:37:13.319 --> 01:37:20.939
My mother wore on ease out for me and my siblings and my father Never seen her without a rose, never, never.
01:37:20.939 --> 01:37:22.882
And she realized she said it.
01:37:22.882 --> 01:37:26.460
It's the prayers that that it wasn't no words.
01:37:27.251 --> 01:37:34.789
So last time you were on you, you had told us like the one of the biggest Things you hear in the confessional are sins of the flesh in the traditional community.
01:37:34.789 --> 01:37:37.296
So what, besides fasting, what?
01:37:37.296 --> 01:37:40.002
What are the best methods you recommend for combating that sin?
01:37:40.631 --> 01:37:42.197
Oh, I got a whole list of remedies.
01:37:42.197 --> 01:37:51.336
You got to understand, because one of the punishments of pride is sins of the flesh and it's very prominent in the tradition because they fill the pride.
01:37:51.917 --> 01:38:00.360
And so number one is For sins of the flesh I got the first remedy is only if you're in the state of grace.
01:38:00.360 --> 01:38:05.261
The best ways you have to receive the Eucharist is also impossible, only in the state of grace.
01:38:05.261 --> 01:38:07.658
Number two is devotion to the mother of God.
01:38:07.658 --> 01:38:11.304
Consecrate yourself to where the brown scaffold.
01:38:11.304 --> 01:38:13.271
Never take it off, never.
01:38:13.271 --> 01:38:23.015
At night, before you go to bed, kneel down, put your fingers under your knees, so all the oil, your body weight, is on your fingers and you've used your head, you'll figure it out.
01:38:23.015 --> 01:38:26.703
And you pray tree hill marries and honor blessed virgin for purity.
01:38:26.703 --> 01:38:36.518
The next thing is St Alpha says when you're tempted to impure door or deed, if you Call on a lady right away, it's infallible sign.
01:38:36.518 --> 01:38:38.202
You will not fall infallible.
01:38:38.202 --> 01:38:52.341
The next thing is a oh Is really important, I say you know, pray to bless a mother, to have a deep hatred for impurity and you rather die in the state of grace than ever commit a sin against the flesh.
01:38:52.341 --> 01:38:57.199
Custody the eyes, very important, very important.
01:38:57.199 --> 01:38:58.935
You must have custody eyes.
01:38:59.095 --> 01:39:02.632
The next thing is avoid all Occasions of sin.
01:39:02.632 --> 01:39:06.203
Any person plays circumstance and that's the big one.
01:39:06.203 --> 01:39:09.994
If you put yourself in the occasion of sin, you will fall.
01:39:09.994 --> 01:39:14.527
And it's a mortal sin to put yourself voluntarily into occasion of sin.
01:39:14.527 --> 01:39:20.603
And so if you're falling, every time you're around this man or woman, you fall, you can't be around.
01:39:20.603 --> 01:39:23.774
I'm going, there's a mark is important.
01:39:23.774 --> 01:39:24.596
These, these lists.
01:39:24.957 --> 01:39:27.063
The next thing is steady confession.
01:39:27.063 --> 01:39:33.363
But try to find a good confessor, one that would be strict but compassionate and that knows his stuff.
01:39:33.363 --> 01:39:35.884
Only your fool guides himself All right.
01:39:35.884 --> 01:39:44.604
The next one is you must meditate on one of the four last things every day, at least one death, judgment, heaven or hell.
01:39:44.604 --> 01:39:50.073
Meditate on that and do mental prayer, cross the rosary prayer.
01:39:50.073 --> 01:39:52.420
The next thing is fast in.
01:39:52.420 --> 01:39:57.402
You must fast, you know, and those, and you must dress modestly.
01:39:57.402 --> 01:39:58.909
Your department must be modest.
01:39:58.909 --> 01:40:00.975
Those are the big ones.
01:40:00.975 --> 01:40:03.161
If you do, I never listen.
01:40:03.161 --> 01:40:09.235
I guarantee to people that anyone that does all the remedies, the only one they may not be able to do is the first one.
01:40:09.235 --> 01:40:13.314
If they have mortal sin never had one come back, then it's fallen.
01:40:13.314 --> 01:40:16.864
They come back, say, father, you told me I wouldn't fall, I fell.
01:40:16.864 --> 01:40:18.369
I said you do the remedies.
01:40:18.369 --> 01:40:20.320
Yeah, I said tell me what are they?
01:40:20.320 --> 01:40:21.930
Lucky they can name two out of like eight.
01:40:21.930 --> 01:40:25.203
So I said no, do more, you won't they all come back.
01:40:25.203 --> 01:40:28.113
If they do more, they don't fall, yeah you can't.
01:40:28.636 --> 01:40:32.328
You can't have two completely contrary things in your life at the same time.
01:40:32.328 --> 01:40:38.063
Right Like you'll fail at one of the other, like you're gonna either do those or you're gonna do the others that you can't.
01:40:38.730 --> 01:40:41.356
You know, with the four last things is so important.
01:40:41.356 --> 01:40:56.265
When you meditate upon that and I always tell people, let me be a guide to our health for you I say you know, when you go away, you want to know the temperature, you want to know what kind of people, what I saw, I'll tell you the temperature, I'll tell you what kind of people you're gonna meet down there and it will literally scare the hell out.
01:40:56.265 --> 01:41:02.717
And if you think twice, if you're ready to commit a moral sin, you think about what's waiting you if you're struck dead in your sin.
01:41:02.717 --> 01:41:08.520
And in the Bible says as fish are taking with hooks, so sin is our taking in their sin.
01:41:10.451 --> 01:41:13.935
Rob, I just unstarred One of them that I wasn't supposed to see.
01:41:13.935 --> 01:41:14.837
If you could find that one.
01:41:14.837 --> 01:41:17.122
Do you have any thoughts on Saint Charbel?
01:41:17.122 --> 01:41:18.483
Do you have any kind of devotion to him?
01:41:19.250 --> 01:41:19.451
I can.
01:41:22.032 --> 01:41:22.512
He's great.
01:41:22.512 --> 01:41:26.856
Yeah, there's a great movie about Saint Charbel.
01:41:26.877 --> 01:41:28.140
Yeah, I watched it on YouTube.
01:41:28.140 --> 01:41:32.658
Yeah, it's on you yeah it's a great movie, if you guys really is.
01:41:32.658 --> 01:41:44.121
I mean, he's doing Thousands of miracles to this day at his tomb yeah, they still have, like I think he's still Weeps oil one of his icons or something.
01:41:45.393 --> 01:41:47.117
Yeah beautiful.
01:41:47.217 --> 01:41:48.501
Is there a recommendation you can?
01:41:48.501 --> 01:41:49.863
Make for a book about the Saints.
01:41:49.863 --> 01:41:51.146
Are any particular saint you would?
01:41:52.671 --> 01:41:56.780
Well, obviously, like I said, whatever your vocation is trying to start with that.
01:41:56.780 --> 01:42:03.582
So, like You're, married man, married woman, like it used to be called the story of a family.
01:42:03.582 --> 01:42:04.895
I think they changed the title.
01:42:04.895 --> 01:42:16.073
Now it's the story of Saint Teresa the little flower, and now her mother was a nun, her father was a monk, but they couldn't stay to how to leave and the father didn't even want to Consummate the marriage.
01:42:16.073 --> 01:42:17.717
And she says no, we're gonna do this.
01:42:17.717 --> 01:42:19.060
Is this our vocation?
01:42:19.060 --> 01:42:22.420
We're gonna raise up saints to glorify God in heaven.
01:42:22.420 --> 01:42:25.253
And that story is beautiful.
01:42:25.253 --> 01:42:26.917
I really so things like that.
01:42:26.917 --> 01:42:29.233
And like me, I'm a priest Soul.
01:42:29.274 --> 01:42:32.810
Now I think no, the story of souls huddled by Biography.
01:42:32.810 --> 01:42:34.454
Oh, it's our biography, but it's cool.
01:42:34.454 --> 01:42:36.019
It was called the story of family.
01:42:36.019 --> 01:42:36.640
They changed it.
01:42:36.640 --> 01:42:37.323
You could look at them.
01:42:37.323 --> 01:42:44.018
But it's phenomenal book and and like I'm a priest, so I'm like my saints together I pray.
01:42:44.018 --> 01:42:58.655
So many cost my holy father, st Francis and st Maximin Kobe, st Bonaventure, missionary priests, st Leonard, Port Maurice, st John Capestrano, then you got St Francis Royce and Lucie moffitts and Paul Cross.
01:42:58.655 --> 01:43:05.340
These guys are giants, giants and they inspire me because they help me in my Vocation as a priest to go out there and preach.
01:43:05.340 --> 01:43:08.832
And that's where I get it from man, you know, I just say mom.
01:43:09.514 --> 01:43:17.720
I'm gonna really urge anybody that's never done the consecration st Louis the mom for its Consecration and especially if you're a married couple, like, do it as a couple.
01:43:18.112 --> 01:43:26.662
You cannot imagine what that will do for your marriage matter of fact, I'm coming up on my 24th anniversary priesthood and I've been consecrated for years.
01:43:26.662 --> 01:43:30.578
But I started I'm gonna end on today my ordination.
01:43:30.578 --> 01:43:31.081
I'm gonna.
01:43:31.081 --> 01:43:36.979
I did a some doing the 33 prep, 33 day, and there's a Angeles press.
01:43:36.979 --> 01:43:47.869
Get the book from them because when you do the regular 33 prep it tells you you got to get the imitation of Christ, you got to get the Bible, you got it, and then you're going from book to book.
01:43:47.869 --> 01:43:59.341
But they put it the consecration to Mary every every day's day, week one day one week day, day two, all the readings are right there for you, it and those readings.
01:43:59.341 --> 01:44:02.529
Let me tell you I'm getting so much out of it again myself.
01:44:02.529 --> 01:44:03.792
I'm on.
01:44:03.792 --> 01:44:04.895
I'm on my second week.
01:44:04.895 --> 01:44:05.958
Today it's the first day.
01:44:05.958 --> 01:44:07.261
Second week, gold.
01:44:07.951 --> 01:44:08.632
Yeah, great.
01:44:08.632 --> 01:44:10.680
What's the best book on Fatima?
01:44:12.131 --> 01:44:17.545
well, we used to have the Fatima Center, is putting out the truth, the true story of Fatima.
01:44:17.545 --> 01:44:18.869
It's only like a hundred pages.
01:44:18.869 --> 01:44:19.451
It's gold.
01:44:19.451 --> 01:44:24.243
But a friar, michelle is called from he wrote the truth, a trilogy.
01:44:24.243 --> 01:44:26.212
That's the best you know.
01:44:26.212 --> 01:44:30.283
But you can't get a tick volume one now and they can't get it reprinted.
01:44:30.283 --> 01:44:34.250
But that little one, it's online a PDF to truth, the Fatima.
01:44:34.250 --> 01:44:39.505
I could give Anthony the link and you could download it PDF or just read it.
01:44:39.505 --> 01:44:42.615
It's the most precise story.
01:44:43.891 --> 01:44:48.789
Alright, guys, you guys got to chill out with sevens who any more questions, because we do have to have work at the morning.
01:44:48.789 --> 01:44:53.604
But alright, so this person had gotten confession from a priest and didn't get a penance.
01:44:53.604 --> 01:44:55.479
What should you do in a situation like that?
01:44:55.881 --> 01:44:59.975
Well, if you know, at the time you can say father, can you please grant me a penance?
01:44:59.975 --> 01:45:07.936
And if he says no, just say to him well, gal, do Do holy hill, holy queens, and you do it, you.
01:45:07.936 --> 01:45:12.259
So I would go to another priest, though, anyway yeah, because the guy like that I wouldn't trust.
01:45:14.310 --> 01:45:17.100
What's a good book to guide us and sacrifice and fasting.
01:45:18.970 --> 01:45:22.337
Well, sacrifice, yeah, trying to think like.
01:45:22.337 --> 01:45:26.305
One of the books I really love is the way divine love.
01:45:26.305 --> 01:45:33.494
It's the story of a nun saying sister Yosef amendez, and she's not canonized, but what a saint.
01:45:33.494 --> 01:45:40.109
And we're not pointing at that book because she was a victim, soul and I'll look killed the like five years of religious life.
01:45:40.109 --> 01:45:47.373
She used to physically go to hell and her superiors didn't believe her and she told no, I go to hell, I'm.
01:45:47.373 --> 01:45:47.655
So.
01:45:47.777 --> 01:45:57.677
One day they came into her cell that's where you your room as a religious and they sat down and one Superiors on one side the other and they tell we don't believe you.
01:45:57.677 --> 01:46:03.978
And all of a sudden, poof, she's gone, disappeared, and they start praying a rosary like it was.
01:46:03.978 --> 01:46:06.947
They were scared and then I forgot how long it was.
01:46:06.947 --> 01:46:09.636
All of a sudden she pops up between them again.
01:46:09.636 --> 01:46:12.104
I have it was flame shooting up.
01:46:12.104 --> 01:46:13.810
The stench of sofa was so bad.
01:46:13.810 --> 01:46:17.301
They ran out because they were gonna puke and they believe us.
01:46:17.301 --> 01:46:21.318
So she went to hell to suffer, especially so that priest wouldn't go to hell.
01:46:21.318 --> 01:46:39.351
So the reason I say read that book, because it helped me get through my novitiate, because I had a lot of suffering in the novitiate and it just helped me how to desire, to understand why I have to suffer, why is it good to do penance, why is it good to fast, and she encourages you and it's.
01:46:39.351 --> 01:46:41.256
I think it's a great book to read.
01:46:41.256 --> 01:46:43.381
It will help you spiritually in many ways.
01:46:44.631 --> 01:46:51.448
Is the approved traditional order Marion's friar minor with father Anthony, a good place to become a third order for in this game.
01:46:51.448 --> 01:47:01.029
I have no idea Okay what can adult children of divorced parents do to prevent generational sin Full out not sure of the correct word in their own marriage and family?
01:47:01.289 --> 01:47:02.552
That's a good question.
01:47:02.552 --> 01:47:06.262
Number one is make sure it don't happen by you, by living a holy life.
01:47:06.262 --> 01:47:08.012
That's the main thing.
01:47:08.012 --> 01:47:09.076
Have masses.
01:47:09.076 --> 01:47:15.050
I know some traditional Please don't believe in this too but masses for generational healing, I think they're very pout.
01:47:15.050 --> 01:47:25.863
I've done them for a lot of people and I could tell you they really are effective, because Sometimes the day I prepared and when I do it, because they get attacked, I'll attack pretty bad.
01:47:25.863 --> 01:47:31.882
But I've seen a lot of great, great miracles happen too, because there's nothing more powerful than a mass.
01:47:31.922 --> 01:47:36.720
But Do you know any good resources for chastity in marriage?
01:47:37.871 --> 01:47:38.072
That's.
01:47:38.072 --> 01:47:41.712
You know what's probably a book that's needed, but I don't.
01:47:41.712 --> 01:47:43.177
And the thing is to.
01:47:43.177 --> 01:47:48.172
I'll just say this some people think I can't wait to get married, so they take anything goes.
01:47:48.172 --> 01:47:49.154
But it doesn't you know.
01:47:49.154 --> 01:47:58.440
And so as a confessor I'm trained by Saint-Aufan and you don't pry as a confessor until unless someone confesses something.
01:47:58.440 --> 01:47:59.363
Then you have to probe.
01:47:59.363 --> 01:48:02.037
But when they question I say you question me now.
01:48:02.037 --> 01:48:04.221
I have to tell you and I informed them.
01:48:04.221 --> 01:48:05.936
It's really you got to understand.
01:48:06.650 --> 01:48:11.555
Even in the seminary years everything was enlightened, especially on six to nine.
01:48:11.555 --> 01:48:14.604
Command me, because it's so delicate material in.
01:48:14.604 --> 01:48:17.912
My professor was a saint, his name was father Alphonse.
01:48:17.912 --> 01:48:33.257
He gave us a big package and we had a swear that we wouldn't open until right before we read it here, confessions, and we had a read everything and it was all on six to nine and, man, it spun my head and and the reason being because it could lead you.
01:48:33.257 --> 01:48:36.536
So those things I think Reading on it is.
01:48:36.536 --> 01:48:38.163
I don't think it's the best thing.
01:48:38.163 --> 01:48:38.988
I'll be honest with you.
01:48:38.988 --> 01:48:44.399
Just know that, like I'll just give you this, I'm not gonna even tell you what it is like.
01:48:44.779 --> 01:48:47.104
I have people that come to confession or woman a lot.
01:48:47.104 --> 01:48:50.390
And they said father, have a delicate question, okay, what is it?
01:48:50.390 --> 01:48:52.221
Just try to be modest what you say.
01:48:52.221 --> 01:48:57.599
And right away I usually know what it's gonna be and I said, well, let me actually one question.
01:48:57.599 --> 01:48:59.443
So why do you come to confession?
01:49:00.351 --> 01:49:11.615
Well, to confess, since, all right, if you're doing something holy, it's not gonna bother you, it won't, it won't prick your conscience and the marital act is a holy thing, it's blessed by God.
01:49:11.615 --> 01:49:12.239
In a sense.
01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:13.305
You know what I mean.
01:49:13.305 --> 01:49:15.716
If it's done, that's why God's getting appropriate.
01:49:15.716 --> 01:49:25.301
But if you're doing something in the marital act either husband or wife, both and it's bothering you, it's because you're probably going against nature somehow, doing something simple.
01:49:25.301 --> 01:49:27.306
I think everybody can get the picture there.
01:49:27.306 --> 01:49:28.250
That's a good guy.
01:49:28.250 --> 01:49:35.884
But the main thing is your prayer life, because you can't keep pure without a prayer life and you got to realize your strength.
01:49:35.884 --> 01:49:36.792
That you know.
01:49:36.792 --> 01:49:39.980
Humility means to know who you are and God God's every day.
01:49:39.980 --> 01:49:41.713
I'm nothing that I dare for.
01:49:41.713 --> 01:49:48.199
The grace of God was I, and you got to be careful, you know, with that, because that's why many marriages are destroyed.
01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:57.761
You know, because they start doing illicit things and it leaves them down a bad trap and that's Theology from hell, the Algae to body, yeah.
01:49:59.152 --> 01:50:03.069
Is there anything that we didn't ask you that you wanted to touch on, or do you think we covered almost?
01:50:03.069 --> 01:50:04.173
I mean, we covered a lot right.
01:50:04.414 --> 01:50:05.439
I don't want you do too much.
01:50:05.439 --> 01:50:11.557
I didn't even touch what I really wanted to talk about.
01:50:11.557 --> 01:50:12.359
That's the way it goes.
01:50:12.359 --> 01:50:13.001
How long are you gonna?
01:50:13.020 --> 01:50:17.305
be here, for we don't know, we make it father Isaac back on before he leaves.
01:50:17.305 --> 01:50:18.369
We'll see how it goes.
01:50:18.550 --> 01:50:30.523
But you know I will say this that I've done time, so many conferences big, and it seems that the things that they like more people is questions, because they can't get the answers.
01:50:30.523 --> 01:50:32.614
They at least that they could trust.
01:50:32.614 --> 01:50:36.021
You know what I'm saying, because there's so many bad teachers out there.
01:50:36.021 --> 01:50:38.012
With so many, it's really difficult.
01:50:38.753 --> 01:50:42.963
So maybe next time we get you on we'll just do a straight question and answer for them, because people really do?
01:50:43.171 --> 01:50:43.993
Do I mean people?
01:50:43.993 --> 01:50:46.020
Would we start off with something?
01:50:46.492 --> 01:50:51.130
Yeah, but I hope it was helpful father Isaac, I'm so grateful that you came for dinner.
01:50:51.130 --> 01:50:53.213
I'm so grateful you came on the show with us.
01:50:53.274 --> 01:50:57.222
I'm so happy that we became friends being dinner was so good, maybe I will come.
01:50:59.490 --> 01:51:06.820
I'm wanting to make a point, to actually have you come in person, because I wanted to be your actual friend, like I didn't want it to just be like something we did online, like I want to be your friend.
01:51:07.872 --> 01:51:14.043
And just to say to you know, today, priests, we need people back to self, we need good priests.
01:51:14.043 --> 01:51:15.286
That it's really.
01:51:15.286 --> 01:51:33.350
It gets lonely out there, and that's why you saying no man, no man is meant to be in on an island alone, it's in priests especially to, and but there's so much division against amongst priests too of the honest with you, and you get tired of it too, and then you say I don't want to bother, I want to bother.
01:51:33.350 --> 01:51:35.795
It's tough.
01:51:35.814 --> 01:51:40.423
So pray for us, pray for please well, we're gonna, you're gonna come with us in September.
01:51:40.550 --> 01:51:48.081
So we got something when I say support, I mean Financial, fine, but it's even more important to support them in your family.
01:51:48.081 --> 01:51:54.262
Rosary Dependences that you do, because you can't get to heaven without the priests, whether you like or not.
01:51:54.262 --> 01:52:04.670
That's the way it is the way God made it and that's why now, in these times, I don't mean to keep going on and on, but I want people before COVID, I'm telling we're living in a communist country.
01:52:04.670 --> 01:52:07.859
When you go to hospital, though, you better get anointed for you go.
01:52:07.859 --> 01:52:13.363
They're not gonna let the priest in, and they know they did crazy, and then all the nonsense that went on.
01:52:13.363 --> 01:52:15.720
But you want that priest to be anointed.
01:52:15.720 --> 01:52:16.905
I leave you better.
01:52:16.966 --> 01:52:17.869
Pray every day.
01:52:17.869 --> 01:52:20.619
I pray more than once a day when I do my rosary.
01:52:20.619 --> 01:52:22.618
If they do, my thanks you that.
01:52:22.618 --> 01:52:29.177
That I pray for all my family, friends, benefactor, loved ones, all my enemies, all my enemies.
01:52:29.177 --> 01:52:37.833
That we all, before we die, that we always see the efficacious grace of final repentance, final perseverance.
01:52:37.833 --> 01:52:40.399
That we die in the state of grace.
01:52:40.399 --> 01:52:44.996
That we receive holy viaduct, apostolic blessing, the last rites.
01:52:44.996 --> 01:52:47.342
That we die with the brown scapula.
01:52:47.342 --> 01:52:52.899
That we get to make a general confession Before we die you don't know how precious.
01:52:52.899 --> 01:52:55.145
And then, to top it all off.
01:52:55.145 --> 01:52:56.869
A perfect act of love.
01:52:56.869 --> 01:52:58.215
You go straight to heaven.
01:52:58.215 --> 01:53:00.293
Pray for these things.
01:53:00.293 --> 01:53:01.356
I'm talking God.
01:53:01.356 --> 01:53:08.856
If God says I'll give you a heart's desire and it's good and holy for your salvation, for your children who give it to you, I believe it.
01:53:09.377 --> 01:53:23.036
Yeah, guys, and also like, go out of your way to like To, to form these communities, to form friendships that like to form men's groups these are important and to involve a priest in them, because it's it's very important.
01:53:23.216 --> 01:53:29.021
It really is so and we got to get out to those abortion clinics and pray Like and like.
01:53:29.021 --> 01:53:29.729
Look at this movie.
01:53:29.729 --> 01:53:31.890
We got to support a movie like that when it comes out.
01:53:31.890 --> 01:53:32.988
That's telling the truth.
01:53:32.988 --> 01:53:36.140
And you see, all these they're attacking it left and right.
01:53:36.140 --> 01:53:40.234
All these they're trying to accuse them of being pedophiles, all kinds of crazy stuff.
01:53:40.234 --> 01:53:40.817
It's sick.
01:53:41.658 --> 01:53:44.949
You can always tell how good something is by who's who hates it, you know.
01:53:44.949 --> 01:53:52.640
