Thank you for this important message, Father. I choose not to tell myself that "I am broken," but certainly to acknowledge that I know brokenheartedness, to feel that my body or mind is broken, and to have broken relationships... That in my weakness I need something supernatural to strengthen me. I find this language to be more helpful for bridge building with those who don't share my faith because they often associate religion with messages that they are bad, wrong, broken, etc.

Esposos que se casan por la iglesia se deben respetar Los que viven en unión libre no son casado viven sincompromiso

Staying, trusting, hoping and praying for those who have left to return and be welcomed 💙

Thank you, Father Martin! An important message to remember.

Yo father Martin i use to attend saint peters when you worked there I don’t know if you still know her but I’m Dianne’s grandson? Anyways I wanted to see what you did now but I just wanted to say keep going man you’re doing great!

Thank you, Father Martin.

John 10:10! Bodily or psychological healing isn't the ultimate end, but it sure does help us understand how God longs for us to live.

This one really spoke to me in a time of need , thank you

Have you taken the GIFT of eternal life?

Those people in the background were tending the garden. That is our true calling.

Thanks Father Martin We enjoyed your meditation of the readings very much. ...as usual!

We miss you Father Martin. Time for a road trip. Thank you for always helping all of us to connect and relate with the readings. I will never be able to express how important you have been to our family and probably so many others in guiding us through the reading, to regularly connect with mass and Gods Word, and to strengthening our faith. You have meant so much to us and certainly every community you have ever been a part of. We will see you soon. God Bless.

Thank you for the laugh -- it never occurred to me how Jesus' offering of peace "wasn't entirely effective" because they ended up locked up and scared again next week. 😅😅 How entirely relatable and comforting.

Great service ! Love my church 🥰😍❤️🙏🙌

I guess as a parish named for the ultimate Mother, it's fitting we "wait" a long time!

I suppose those who have tried to codify all this into law have failed because we were made for love and to love, so unless we actually love we will ultimately fail.

Always the best homily!

This story is sooo relatable 😅 Thank you for sharing it. I hope Donnie Rose knows it will help us. It's really no fun to spend one's life wishing people would burn in hell. Thank God for the grace to reconcile AND to learn to love people when that's not an option.

We come to understand that He is our everything. No matter what happens. He is with us always! He is our Savior! Through our formation, we learn that Jesus is the true son of the living God! He truly is our Messiah! My Lord and my God! This is who Jesus is to me! ❤

I would love to hear my fellow parishioners' responses to this question. I wonder if Jesus wanted the apostles to hear each other's answers, too.

This video includes a great message! Thank you! ❤😊

Looking forward to continuing to push the "people over programs agenda" at MOM 😅

Thank you for faithfully uploading the Mass here. It it greatly appreciated on sick days. 🙏🏻 My prayers are with you in the coming week in a special way, Father Martin!

Hard to believe I could be that great pearl! Thank you for the challenges, Father.

Thank you for this. I wonder if one of the Enemy's joys is how far-removed we can get from Jesus' parable context these days, as we're far-removed from the relationships built into Creation.

Would you say the spirit of scarcity is a relative of the spirit of fear?

I meant to say that I put the link in the description, but since I said it would be in the comments here it is: Link to Dr. Susan McGurgan’s reflection: www.preachinghope.org/post/14-ot-a-running-twice-as-fast-~-dr-susan-mcgurgan Highly recommended!

Beautiful!! So grateful to everyone involved in this. 🙏🏻

Thank you, Father.

Thank you for helping us understand that necessity of leaving.

Thank you, Father. Very insightful. Hadn't really thought how absence can purify love. God bless🙏

This reminds me of Pope Francis' words; "God’s love is like the love of a mother. He never forgets us. Never. He is faithful to his covenant. This gives us security."

Beautifully said father…analogies or breaking down a message as you have is easily received and understood. You have spoken to us in the way Jesus spoke to his disciples,in parables, so that they could understand his message. Loved the insertion of your family life. It helps us understand that you have had family experiences. So many times we forget that you too have had a life outside of the priesthood. Thank you for sharing. * stopped by to find a church. Clicked on website and saw your message. I will see you soon. * enjoyed Sunday mass btw. You are so real it is refreshing!

Thank you, Father. The way you put this made me think of those who have been betrayed by those trusted voices, and my heart really breaks for them. I will remember them at Mass this weekend.

Thank you, Father Martin.

Thank you, Father, for this wonderful message. God bless!

Thank you for the reflection. It reminded me of how my faith is moving from being so concerned about results, to trying to live in the now with God. P.S. Way to go Nicole and Father Martin for the ELO clip 💥

Thank you, Father, for this very helpful reflection. God bless.

I’ve been watching the mass. What church is this? I know it’s a Catholic church but is it a little little church nice

So true; the *actual* crisis of manhood that exists today is that some men idealize a life unlike the virtue of Joseph, and call it manliness. Joseph's life is challenging for both men and women to accept as a model! Joseph, pray for us.

Thank you Fr. Martin for the schematic to help visualize what is truly the center of the universe 😊

Amén 🙏🏼 bendiciones

Thank you for voicing this. I'm sorry to say that I've seen the evidence for your theory about this being the most dangerous form of idolatry in the Church. I'm grateful Pope Francis has spoken against clericalism since his papacy began, but it's not reaching the average parishioner.

Thabk you - this is fresh news apart from "explaining." I'm off to celebrate God❤God bless you!

Thank you!

Thank-you Father Martin for this profound teaching. I want to absorb every word of it and live this way. Let me set down my barriers and have meaningful encounters with mutual trust and love. Bless you.

Ambrose was educated in Rome, where he studied law, literature and rhetoric (not theology). Ambrose was made consular prefect (Governor) of Liguria and Emilia around 372. His headquarters were in Milan, the then second capital of Italy. In 374 when the Bishop of Milan died, Ambrose attended the election of the new bishop to prevent any uproars between the Nicene Church and the Arians. While giving an address, the assembly began calling for him to become the next bishop. Being neither baptized or trained in theology, Ambrose ran and attempted to hide, but his colleague gave him up. Within a week's time, Ambrose was baptized, ordained and duly consecrated bishop of Milan on December 7, 374. As bishop, he donated all of his land and gave his money to the poor. This made him widely popular and often times more politically powerful than even the emperor.

Ty for recording & posting this beautiful mass ❤ praying for you all!

I was blessed by this elaboration on the Gospel today. Thank you, Father!

Beautiful reflection Fr. Martin.
