- At some point, we all reach the limit of what we're capable of. In those moments, we can either stop trying, or ask for help.

![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
Breaking In The Habit has become one of my favorite channels, particularly among Catholic ones. You have created videos that I find both engaging and educational (which I don't find many of because the I've already learned what many of the engaging videos are trying to convey), content that I believe should be imitated by others. Who knows? Maybe in the future I'll look at making videos, and if I do, I already know one person I can ask for advice
Friar Casey, you inspire me with every video I watch. You have revived my interest in a faith I have neglected. Brother, you sent me to church! Bless you!
Well just remember that God had everything to do with it... I just showed up! Jesus is calling your name and wanting you back and I'm just thankful that his voice was able to speak to you through me!
Wooo hoo, I’m from Nicaragua. God bless brother Casey.
Brother Casey, may the Lord continue to bless your ministry! I was really pleased that you visited my country Nicaragua. Please pray for Nicaragua. My country is in a very precarious state and people are dying victim of a tyrannical government. At the same time hundreds of thousands of average people have demonstrated incredible courage and faith and stood unarmed before the angry armed mobs and police. The bishops, especially Silvio Baez and Rolando Alvarez, plus many priests and Franciscan friars, have put their own lives at risk and are shown in pictures standing in front of the aggressors, protecting their flocks, or processing the Blessed Sacrament while bullets are shot around them. Pray for Nicaragua please!
Brother there is little I can do to help talent wise or financially but be assured that me and others will be come a power house of prayer for you. We can be HABITual prayers
Bro! You reached a plateau, and yes, you will break through it! It is my plan to document a new Monastic Foundation in the Carmelite Spirituality beginning my flight to NY on June 2.
What an amazing video. I have long realised that there is a lack of quality content in RUclips about catholicism, especially not in english. I struggle to find good content here in Brazil, something that is engaging and informative, that brings christians and non christians together. I don't have a lot of knowledge in filming, but this is something I want to be part of. Count me in in anything you need.
As Episcopalian, living in Seattle, you inspire me. I am watching this year after you post this. I think my church, and people of Seattle, and beyond need this. I am tight on money right now, but st some point love to donate. I love your ministry.
Brother Deacon Casey,
This is Fr. James Waite in Lockport, NY (Diocese of Buffalo, NY) and I'm a frequent watcher of your channel. St. Francis of Assisi is one of my best spiritual friends. Please continue to ask for his help, along with St. Clare, the patron of Television, and I presume RUclips as well! Do not abandon your mission. Many are praying with you!!
James Waite - my prayers and thoughts exactly. However I was more direct in my comments
Brother Casey, we have such a similar desire! We really should partner and collaborate!
A couple of questions:
Have you joined our FB group for Catholic RUclipsrs?
Would you be willing to meet with us and talk about how we could join forces to make this (our dreams of quality Catholic content) a reality?
That Catholic Couple Hi! I would be happy to connect with you both! Could you connect with me on Facebook (CaseyOFM)? That’s the easiest way for me to keep track of conversations.
I would love to see this collab! Y'all are three of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Cassie, I'm a contemplative....a new one. Still learning the Divine Office...on my own, but I can definitely commit to praying for your mission because apparently this is pretty much all God wants me to do....pray for priests, those in formation and the unity of the global church. If you could help a sistah out and do a great video on using he Breviary I'd personally find it helpful. I'm finding a lot of lay faithful that are seeking to learn the Divine Office, it's just such a high learning curve that I find myself relying on Universalis a lot and I know I just need to learn how to use my Breviary (Christian Prayer, the single volume). Awesome video. So happy to see you embracing collaboration
Your videos have come a long way! But don't be too critical of your early ones. Your second video at Mission San Luis Rey was the one that got me and my wife hooked on your channel. Even though you were just starting out, I thought your very first videos were great! It's amazing to see how far they've come. Keep up the good work. You're awesome!
God has given me many gifts, and a few skills. Unfortunately none that can be of help for your wonderful mission. I will however be proud to support you financially and pray for both you and your work. God bless you.
Thank you for the blessing you have been to me. I enjoy your content and look forward to seeing what the next level will look like.
Although I've only been watching for 4 or 5 months now, I've learned many things here. It's been awesome. I will continue to watch and I can't wait till see what your next 3 years will be like. Many Blessings and prayers on your next mission ✝
"Your next mission, should you choose to accept it ..." 😊
I always enjoy your videos they are inspiring to me a person with a disability. Please continue these videos and each week at my church I will pray you
God bless you, Brother Casey! I just found your channel and am looking forward to your future works! I will pray for God to bless your project, a true labor of love for our Lord!! ♡
You're such an inspiration. I'm working on something, and if I make it as a Catholic creative, I have you to thank.
Brother, what an ambitious and wonderful project you have! I pray for this mission and hope to find out how to contribute more. Mucha fuerza para ti! Blessings
You’re a warrior Brother! Thank you.
So many comments! Thank you for your candor and commitment. I look forward to seeing what the Spirit whispers in your heart!
Thanks!
I think you are selling yourself short. You may have reached a plateau but how do you know it is just a difficulty to overcome rather than an insurmountable obstacle. I think you are incredibly talented and I don’t believe you cannot continue to develop your formidable skills.
Inspiring. My prayers are with you.
God be with you always 🙏🏻❤️😇
I love this channel thanks God is good 😘
We agree!
Not sure if you know this, but you really are an inspiration. I love knowing that there are people in the church that are willing to modernize and know how to reach the generations of today. You still tie in the old but are able to meld it with the new. For that I thank you. As one who has not been close to the church as I have liked... you have paved a way for me to begin to find my way back and to rekindle the relationship. Thank you again, can't wait to see what else you create.
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Love it, good work, keep it up
Well your production value caught my attention at least (not that I count, much, even though I'm like the token non-Catholic around these parts) but I love that you have this idea, this goal to make this your ministry. Good job.
I'm really not sure how your videos ended up in my RUclips feed because religion isn't something I ever look up on RUclips. I'm by far not the best Catholic, but I do feel it is an important part of me. You're an inspiring person, I wish you luck and I hope my small donation helps you!
Paul Adams I really appreciate it!
I look forward to seeing your ideas come into fruition!
I was lowkey like
*CATHOLICS UNITE* torwards the end of the video
You're doing fine and I'm glad to see what direction you're headed in. Though our roles and faith are different in life I am glad to call you Brother. Bro. Timothy Carson, Order of the Knights of Prayer.
Hi...i love the idea!!♥:) thank u...for the help everything is welcome...from south korea showing the mission of the church
May Almighty be there helping u in your endeavours.... God bless u Bro Casey
I think you are a total and amazing trip (as us hippies used to say when we were young). I do not understand how you do even one iota of what you do, in addition to your studies. My prayer for you is that you do not burn yourself out.
By all means continue this interesting, informative, educational work, but at a pace that sustains your spiritual and physical health. I shall look for ways to contribute to your ministry.
And, inspired by your effort, I shall aim to be more mindful of my own. In this third act of my life, I was called to express myself. Initially, I had to put aside my doubt as to whether I was prepared or equipped, and just write, anyways. Currently, the challenge is to write in the discouraging time we are living through.
I am going to write a poem for your ordination, but I think I shall find a way to send a short one now, to thank you for your video ministry. Yours is a holy ambition.
Oh my gosh I've been seeing your videos for so long!!!
You are a very inspiring franciscan! Thank you for your ministry. Maybe you could give some tips to my little franciscan community in Brazil in how to use better the social media for evangelization. God bless!
Fr Casey! I love your idea. Where has this idea gone since you released this video? I had a very similar idea in the past and I'd love to talk to you about it.
Brother Casey, I love your idea of expanding Catholic content and evangelizing. I've tried to subscribe to all Catholic accounts but there are not that many!I love your idea to evangelize, I want to help financially and God has given me the talent of being able to painy realistic paintings using oil paints but I'm unsure on how I can use my talent, I will keep praying about that. I know I am gifted by God and I don't want to sound like I'm all that but art is my passion I just don't know how to use it for the good of the Church of God if anyone has ideas please let me know, thank you. God Bless.
Amazing!!!
This is part of your vocation you change lives because of this....you alone as being yourself in daily thoughts and ideas on being a catholic is all you need because your zeal and commitment inspires so many people to say yes to God and no to the world so if your inspired to help others begin there youtube channel i think this is the holy spirit leading you mother mary angelica would be proud of you😃 i was considering making a video on my own journey but lol im super shy haha however i pray all the time for you
You're too hard on yourself Brother Casey. I'm working my way back to your earlier videos, and yeah, maybe you were still learning a bit how to make them, but I'm still really enjoying them (and 100% better than if I were to try).
From the "future", you've broken that ceiling. At least impact wise
I hope to create funny videos about Saints one day, and you are a huge inspiration! Keep evangelizing!
Brother Casey, we should connect. I am working with That Catholic Couple and others to grow the influence and quality of Catholic RUclipsrs. This is something we should all be doing together, pooling our resources. I am also not far from you, in NW Ohio.
Nice to meet you. Would you mind sending me a message on Facebook? It is easier to keep track of conversations that way. facebook.com/caseyofm
I commit to praying for you
Have you met or spoken to the folks at NewCatholicGeneration? They have some great content too. What I like about your channel is that there seems to a definite plan with consistent releases through out the year for segments such as Catholicism in Focus and the Lenten specials.
I would love to see a network of Catholic channels (either explicit or implicit). Work to Game being a good channel, unrelated to the faith, where you can see the faith of the creators peak through in style and voice. If the channels don't need to be e explicitly Catholic they might make a good addition
I can’t do anything for you financially but I promise I will pray for your cause !
I appreciate it!
I think that this is a great idea. I am not able to do the moving around that you do, but I was wondering if you have any ideas about how to spice up a talk with visual aids. I write (occasionally) a blog (a Franciscan view[google]) and think that some of these ideas could be shared as videos with good visual aids. Any ideas would be appreciated. Keep up the good work. Pace e bene.
I would be happy to offer some personal suggestions. Would you mind sending me a message on facebook? facebook.com/caseyofm
0:02 in *youth minister sit* me: YEAAHHHH gonna get guided. But good video and channel overall.
I'm not a Catholic but I would love to find ways I could help. I spent years in the development of new works in several areas of study but I still don't reach the way I would like. Maybe we should film a discussion between us. I'm a former Episcopalian, now Southern Baptist who is studying Public Administration.
What happened with your pilgrimage for this summer, where can I follow / like? Or that was an old post (my greatest challenge ever)
Starts next weekend.
I've been a blogger for over a decade now but have been toying with the idea of creating a RUclips channel for quite some time. I'd love to learn how to edit and do things but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
It certainly depends on what you would like to accomplish and what style you would like to try. I say that the first thing you do is come up with a mission statement and outline the goals. From there, determine which "style" of video would serve you best, and try to watch as many of those examples as you can so that you can have a better idea of what you will need to do.
Sign me up!
I meant your video titled " my most ambitious project"
Br Casey, have you considered reaching out to Brian Holdsworth? He also runs a Catholic centered RUclips channel, seems deeply experienced in media and messaging, and I think might well jump at the chance to collaborate with someone like you.
In fact, he reached out to me.
Ok, I'm interested. I am an older youth minister who wants to meet the technical yearnings of our youth. Br. Casey, where do I begin.?
I've started a new channel for questions like this. New videos will be posted each week starting September 26. ruclips.net/channel/UCwwY6rEggicTU2uvn93nT_w
Any way i could ask some sincere questions in private. For personal reasons i did away with Facebook but willing to email.
Facebook is the easiest way to have a private message, but you can also connect with me through Twitter and Instagram.
Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Los Angeles, California please contact Fr. Christopher. "Glory be to God for All Things." Chrysostom. Thanks.
YASS! ^_^
Have you considered working with Bishop Robert Barron's Word on Fire ministry? He is excellent, but he could benefit from your youth and energy.
I would greatly enjoy working with Bishop Barron, if given the opportunity.
Bill Richards - bishop Baron is good precisely because he has many years of study before social media.
Richard Benitez Well, Bishop Barron is good at talking about philosophy because he has many years of school. But he’s not necessarily very good at social media and certainly not very relatable to young people. He says it himself. Sharing a life in Christ is not about having a degree or knowing every answer, it’s about engaging the world with enthusiasm from a place of prayer, and I think that we would have a lot to offer each other.
That's some good C R I N G E
Way to improve though
I want to help! I'm a motion graphic designer (2D animator). Just make sure fame doesn't cloud your sky. You're a friar before a youtuber. Let me help you evangelize for the glory of God on the internet, just lets not forget our goal to saintity. (hope I explained my self correctly, my natal language is spanish) Greetings!
Br Casey, your awesome.
Both the habit and it's occupant are well broken in now. lol
News broke this week that in a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops this month, the pope allegedly affirmed an existing Vatican ban on gay men entering the priesthood. Reuters reported Francis as saying:
"'Keep an eye on the admissions to seminaries, keep your eyes open. . .If in doubt, better not let them [gay men] enter.'"
Do you agree with this Bro Casey? I don't because it's discriminatory and even kind of silly because some estimates go as high as saying 50% of all Catholic priests are gay. Being gay isn't a threat anymore than being straight. I know two spectacular priests who are gay and I'm glad that rule wasn't in effect when they entered the seminary.
Brother, I understand your point and agree with you wholeheartedly. But, don't get caught in style over substance and quantity over quality... Jesus wasn't a showman and a spectacle (maybe in a way, yes, but you know what I mean :)), I don't think He would care that much about the camera and filters and special effects etc. He would make special effect by just using words. I mean, I would watch your videos regardless, whether they're filmed by mobile phone or in film studio... the content is what brought me in.
Hi! I’ve been watching you and following you for a little bit. I’m interested in doing something similar. I’d like to start my own channel for our Community. We are a new Group. Small but growing and we have a growing group of followers both on my own FB and our Community FB. We are looking at a Bilingual Market. Lots to visit about with you! I have many questions :-) I’m from Deep South Texas.
I'd be happy to help if you have questions. Best place to start a conversation is a message on Facebook: CaseyOFM
From the very first vid I saw just 1 month ago, I could see the Franciscan order was allowing unprecedented permission to continue RUclips. However this is very dangerous for your vocation. I’m been around too long to know how you can fool yourself to think continued work in media is more important than being ordained. Just at Franciscan church in SF a seminarian left order because he thought the book he was writing on religious topics was far more important than his continued studies as s seminarian. I ve seen this kind of thing too often. I was hoping you’d say this series is closing for now as my studies are currently more important. All can recognize you are very talented in using social media. That being true ...
it can wait until after completing your studies.
Richard Benitez And I appreciate your assumptions from afar-those are certainly possibilities-but I guess you’re just going to have to trust that my order, spiritual director, and I feel differently for a reason.
I can’t tell if your titles are click-bait or artistic tie-ins
Can't they be both?!
Don' t get caught up in the "bells and whistles", but spread the message. Sometimes simple is better. Jesus didn't attract attention, He said what He had to say, taught what He had to teach, and quietly performed miracles. Those with ears heard His message. Remember, everything depends on the grace of God. Don't get caught up in all this media and ignore your vocation. I commented to you before, your response was not so nice. It surprised me coming from you. You are doing fine, but remember to stay focused on God. I also do Catholic videos. They are not the greatest quality. I put up information to draw those back who have left the Catholic Church. That group needs some attention. It is great to draw in new members, but those that wonder off and leave the flock, need to be brought back too. All I am saying is don't lose your focus. Your message will get out, just not the way you might want it. If I may, may I make a suggestion,? Before you make a video, pray a "Hail Mary" first, and let Our Lady guide you. She will.
Dear Bro. Greetings in Christ, your decision to evangelize through media seems to be one among many ways ro love God and when it becomes the primacy of your vocation to stick on to media and allied works , it does seem to be seeking a broad way rather than opting for a narrow way to heaven. However it is your discernment and discretion and my opinion matters very little here. I admired many people who abandoned their great talents and degrees but chosen a way of obscure prayer life for the love and sake of Christ. St. Alphonse Ligourie was a prodigy in law but he abandoned his God given gift to select a hard way of life because his soul was on fire with love of God. Likewise, many in thousands, who, though it was a life of their vocation, abandoned their natural talent or liking but moved by the plight of humanity, changed their ways opposite to their talents and liking. Even Mother Teresa relegated the comfort of teaching inside a convent premises , though she was called to that vocation. She reached the dying destitutes lying on the filthy streets of Calcutta and chose to live with them even without an electric fan for the rest of her life. All the above are my opinion and I welcome your discernment and it is between you and God. May God bless you, guide you and make you to recognise Him whenever He confronts you. More than the advice , media content and homily we provide to the people about Catholicism and God , people will listen to the witness of our everyday life in prayer, humilty, charity, chastity, honesty, persecution and martyrdom for Christ and that is the greatest vocation for all of us.
Naaaww 5 years later you're gonna cringe at vids you made this year.. That's what growing in art is
I’ve reached my limit with your clickbait titles lol
You know what... You should grow a beard, it would look SO cool not even kidding :D
Sorry to say but I gave you my first "Thumbs down" Brother Casey. I understand what you are saying. But your early videos got me hooked ! So I have been binge watching your channel as a new viewer. What I fear now is your videos will be TOO polished. TOO scripted. TOO Hollywood. I LOVE bloopers ! Bad lighting ! Bad sound ! I love how in one of your early video how you filmed yourself walking pass the camera. Than had to turn around because you are your own cameraman lol !
Your early videos are uncut raw and real. And I could relate because our lives are real uncut raw and full of bloopers. Nothing wrong with adding new ideas and improving content. But if videos are too polished and perfectly edited. I feel the show is no longer real to me. Then in my opinion. You "Jumped the shark" (JTS is a show the overstayed and should of been canceled long ago) Then I may stop watching. But I still wish you all the luck.
P.S. I been watching 3Mormons on RUclips a long time now. About Young LDS people talking about what the LDS organization is all about with special guest. And they even have ex Mormons guest come on their show ! Maybe start and have a Catholic version ? 3Catholic youths host a youtube show ? Just an idea ? And I love to see a Host or Co-host with Native-Americans and or Hispanics ? Plus given that many Native-Americans and Hispanics are Catholic. They are hardly ever seen in mainstream media. Well good luck Brother Casey with your next phase of your channel .
