@thecatholicman who is the person you talk about that taught you more about union with God than anyone. I am hearing Jean Currie but I can’t find anything close to that on the web. God bless you and thank you for your witness! 🙏🏼
If I want to look for an example of living a true Christ centered life, it is the Blessed Mother! So humble, pondering within her heart, God’s Word. She lived daily with The Word Made Flesh. She never wanted to be center stage. Her eyes were always focused on Our Lord. It was always about Him, never about her!
Thank you Robert St Teresa of Avila has beautiful Prayer Let nothing disturb you Let nothing frighten you All things are passing away God never changes Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing God alone Suffices
As a woman I do not wish for any position of power or importance the most important thing to me is to love God and to draw closer to Him every day by attending TLM ,prayer and learning more about the faith. Being a mother is a much more important job than being head of anything. Sitting at the feet of Jesus humbly adoring Him is where I would chose to be there is no greater gift than to spend time with HIM 🙏
Brilliant video Robert. I have always aspired to have a closer relationship with Our Father, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints. I do this by opening up my heart in my prayers. I am trying to pass on this idea of a relationship within the faith to my children. It has been with me and guided me since i was a young boy. It helps me to see through the noise of the modern world. I once prayed to Our Lady on my commute to work many years ago and asked her how i should pray to Jesus, this is the prayer and i've never forgotten it.... "Oh my Jesus, how i adore thee, fill my heart with a sincere love and help me to be steadfast in spirit, whilst being surrounded by a world of darkness." I dont know why, but it felt like the right time to publicly share it with you and your channel.
Robert, this is The best expression I’ve heard on the synod. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time and focus on this moment in time. I was so moved by traveling with you to a monastery where one can experience the fruit of unity with Christ and communion with others who love God above everything. I converted in ‘23 but began my journey in college by readying St Theresa of Avila. I had distant parents and surrounded by Protestantism and she at least taught me to seek unity with God and to pray. Social pressures led me astray and into decades of sorrow. In my 50s I found the desert Fathers that led me to the Church and the Eucharist. The smaller I am the more precious my love and devotion to Jesus and Mary, the more fulfilled and contended I am and I feel a profound fulfillment in prayer. I pray those French girls find their unity in Him and not a social construct or they will never have peace. God bless you and your continued love of God and His church. You have challenged me this year to understand what God is asking of us not what we think sounds cogent with social norms . The only position that matters is our heart lifted up to God.
@tamarawinget Beautiful testament! .. I imagine the holy Spirit is shifting the wheat from the chaff calling people from all faiths, and non believers too; to build our church anew!
This is probably your most profound, truthful and prayerful presentation you have given which is tinged with your good gift of humility. Thank you so much for this. Yes, from what I have read of the great monks/saints of Mount Athos, we are missing out greatly on an appreciation of these great men of God. Our consolation must be the hope that our cloistered monks in Eastern Europe will be drawing down Graces from God on us, even though we remain oblivious in our disordered lives. God bless to all
Hello Robert . Another excellent life experience you have presente. Your message is always clear , union with God. Your only concern is for people to know God by the fruits of our ancestors. Keep up God's calling, your voice is so important for us to keep hearing . Praise be Jesus Praise be his holy name.
Yes you are right. It is union with God. That is the point of Christ's to us. Return to the Father. The Catholic Church used to understand and promote it. It's in the traditional Latin Mass. But now it's been lost, hidden behind social Justice and worldly concerns of equity. Orthodox still understand this and teach it, form their liturgy around it.
And while avoiding the trad debate, which is very fractured, the traditional Latin Mass is a beautiful mystery of that exact process of union with God.
I remember being in “the Land “ watching an orthodox Divine Liturgy when the priest noticed my collar as he was carrying the book of the Gospels.. he stopped and gave me a blessing with the gospel.. in that moment we had a union in Christ that transcended the differences we have within our Traditions. A recognition of two men who love God and share an interior life from East to West. The move towards to the Usus Antiquior among young and old alike is the result of the butchering of the liturgy and the absence of Mystery in the Novus Ordo. As a retired priest I only use the Canon the others lack the theology of sacrifice. Once we return to the mystery of the Holy Mass with this focus on union with God.. the purpose of the liturgy - that is transformation will we see the kneelers being desired more readily. This Radcliffe is a dangerous man. His pink mafia connection to the daisy chains around Church should be a concern of all of us. The radical nun .. who knew she was a Sister? ( when Nuns are faithful to their charism their congregations grow). I also believe the Neo Catechumenal Way will be the Trojan already inside the Church that will spearhead the toxic smoke into furthest ends of what was once Christendom
Thank you Robert for this inspiring video. The story of the monk who took time to be with the pilgrimage understands union with God. Love this video. I am going to share it with my prayer group.
Our church isn't an NGO or a large public company that has to comply with cultural and diversity targets of the day. These answers from the speakers are clear and sensible.
This was so good. Thank you! You articulate what is in my heart but not always able to say. So many threads that you untangle and weave into a clear picture. Contemplating "prepare the way of the Lord, make His path straight" while reading "Heart and Mind" by Shaia. Not sure why l got this book but l think you may have mentioned it. Fr. Radcliff said "teachings and Sacraments" Thank God for the grace of the Sacraments for Union with God! God bless you so enjoyed as well your experience at the Monastry. Such a beautuful yet simple example of hospitality.
The greatest role a woman can have is that of a mother. God gave us such a beautiful role and one to be cherished. Mary is our example of a mother, as one who gave birth and who adopted all of us through Jesus Christ.
Pray that Francis is freed from the darkness he is surrounded by and that of his chosen court. Our Lady, Queen of angels send him help. St Joseph and St Jude pray for us.
That we may be one in God - all peoples- each individual - and our own self to be one with God. God is on the march! No one is to be excluded. We do not need to be experts in the ways of the mystics. Prayer - talking to God - and listening to what God is saying. Building up our own relationship with God - he is there waiting for each of us to respond. It is attainable for each one of us. The Saints point us to God and to the Gospels - they are servants of God as we are called to be. Let us all rejoice in the goodness of God!
The mission of the Church is simple. It is the conversion of souls and the provision of sacraments to those convertrd souls to try to help their eternal salvation.
Didn't Jesus tell us that what would draw people to the church is them seeing the love we have for one another? What a beautiful example of this with this humble eastern monk! We easily conflate "evangelization" with marketing. It really is about who we are for Christ and each other.
Robert, I have been following your channel for quite a while. I want to thank you for your thorough reports and to your faithfulness to Mother Church. My humble opinion in regards to this synod...it is not of God....simple....they can turn and make all kinds of reasons why the women should be in this position or that. It doesn't make it moral just because they claim it is. Mary, Mother of God, had a very important role but she never took the place of Jesus or His Ministry. This is our example, plain and simple. This is all heading to the 'ordination' of females which in reality, will be no better than the Protestants. The false church of Jesus Christ.
Where does this question come from? Christianity is a life of obedience to God, directing your heart toward God, but the world always lusts. His daughters' desires are not from God. Teach them the story of Simon Magus. And you are right, power and sex are always on the world's mind.
God wants us all to be one with him - all peoples and nations - not one person to be lost. This why he created us. He is Love. He is Mercy. He is extravagant in Love and generosity. His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our ways of thinking. We are not called to power. He calls us to be servants just as Sunday's gospel showed us the servant King..
Who is the highest person(outside of Christ) in the body of the Church? It is our mother Mary, a woman who personifies humility and obedience to her son and demonstrates the path to him is not in agrandising womanhood to drag itself up the hierarchy and seek power and position. My opinion, but I believe also the opinion of our Lord , our Lady and his mystical body ,the Church.
Therese of Avila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Hildergard von Bingen etc… Role models for the entire Church, what better examples. What I can understand is that perhaps lay women would perhaps like more job opportunities to serve the Church and be able to live from that. To this I would say that to be creative and develop new opportunities is key.
It seems to me that it’s all about prestige or being the most important. Like women wanting to be priests or deacons. What happened to what God said about humbling yourself and being a servant to all I’m 70 years old. I never wanted to be a priest or deacon, that was not my place the Lord God gave that to men to follow the steps of the Apostles. I can’t understand this twisted thing about needing to be higher up like that Dutch man said they need -- we all need humility. desperately and repentance
I'm only about 3 minutes into this video, but I feel compelled to say something. That father, the dad of 3 daughters just said that he thinks they don't have access to the highest positions in the church (which is just his pride speaking, but thats another matter). Father Timothy (?), the man in white, he just told the dad that the highest positions in the Church belong to the Doctors of the Church, which is true as far as I can see, and many of those are women. Okay. I'm just going to say here, that my dad raised me the same way that dad is raising his daughters: to be second class citizens. I'm sorry, if you teach your girls that they are not eligible for this or that because they are girls, you are raising them to be second class citizens. The Church freed me from that. Only now the Church is going to cave-in to the demands of people like that dad, and its going to relegate me to being a second class citizen, just like the world _REALLY_ wants me to be. You know, I knew that amassing a library of books by the Saints and the Desert Fathers was a good idea, but I didn't fully appreciate at the time why. Because, among many other things, I can't go back to being devalued because of my biology. I expect this comment to get deleted by our YT overlords, so here goes nothin'...
We don't dictate our own vocation. The issue with women wanting to become priests is no different from men wanting to become priests withOUT God's calling.
How can anyone say that an individual woman or man does not have God's calling to the priesthood? God's ways are not our ways - God himself has said so. You are correct in saying that we don't dictate our own calling. Each calling from God is an invitation awaiting our response. There is no self entitlement here.
@@maddyproctor1443 JPII had definitively shut down women priesthood 30 years ago, that's infallible teaching. As to men's vocation to the priesthood, I'd say those with same sex attraction are not called, simply because the Vatican has very clear instructions in this regard. The bottom line is this: Do we care more about "my will be done", or Thy Will be done?
In spite of the criticisms of Radcliff which may be deserved or not I simply don’t know enough about him to say. I thought he was accurate in this instance.
@@patcandelora8496 it was so close to being right in my opinion, that it only shows the danger of his opinion more. He talks to much on the importance of teachers and active members. But the most holy and important are not teachers, but the saints. He downplays the prayer filled nun, the humble and caring bride in favor of the showy and more glorified positions like teachers and leaders. Those who lead are called to be last, but the modern person doesn’t want humility. They want the showy position. But tbf he is also a Dominican who love teachers, so that bias may be showing
Several seconds of audio were missing - right before you said “that’s what Christ was trying to do”. From 23:34 to 23:38 (Maria V. writings). What did you say? Deleted somehow?
Hospitality ?????? I was travelling through SW France a few years ago and stopped off at Fanjeaux, where St Dominic founded his order. There is a Dominican Convent there and as it was hot and I'd been on my motorbike a few hours I was very thirsty. Not only was it impossible to get a glass of water, I wasn't allowed to briefly visit the Chapel.....the bar-tabac in nearby Montréal was happy for my few euro. I just said a wee prayer now, because I probably had some foul expletives as I rode my motorbike away from that convent.
Some walk from Salamanca to Alba de Tormes !!!!....I did it on my motorbike....I'm too lazy...."did" the Camino...on the moto as well, so people said I didn't DO the camino......so????
@@thecatholicman Well, they have seen the RCC been treated as an ngo by many a Catholic, lay and cleric (especially the lay clerics in the "pastoral" councils!!).
So these women should reflect on Jesus's response to the Apostle brothers who aske for seats on his right and left in heaven. Also, isn't it true that the last shall be first. The sisters need to meditate on the great gift of humility.
@@grainneconroy2193 It's not either or. But both. Church councils and popes (bishops) have proposed Doctors of the church because of their wisdom and profound teachings.
Timothy covers the role of women within the hierarchy of the Church.. Silence is a great virtue exemplified by none greater than our Mother, the ultimate role model for the female of the species. On this synod.. hmmm .. the priest in white said he never thought anyone came between him and the eucharist .. really.. can I as a lay person consecrate the host? No, of course not.. the priest is fundamental in the sacrifice of the mass ..
To lead you to that union!!! To offer the sacraments, preserve the deposit of the faith. Unity of the faithful. A mission that clearly is in crisis at the moment.
tell your daughters to emulate Mary the mother of Jesus, Magdalen, + the female followers of Jesus whose input was crucial but who understood the plan and desire of Jesus who did not call these women to the priesthood or as deacons....they also of course can become protestant Pastors , in 'protest' .......
God is on the march here and now. The Holy Spirit continues throughout the ages to renew and breathe life into the world.m One of our jobs as Christians is to be open to God and to work with the Holy Spirit. God's ways are not our ways and God's thoughts are not the thoughts of the human mind - we can all too easily thwart God's workings.
That the Catholic Church has been thoroughly infiltrated by the worst, anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, liberal, marxist element is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact. Tragic. But, as usual, the fingers will not be pointed at the conspirators but at those who call them out....
@@thecatholicman We are all called to be servants of God as clearly shown in this Sunday's Gospel. Jesus had to explain to the Twelve on more than one occasion that power in the worldly sense is not what it's all about. The women and men Saints are saints because they showed themselves to be servants of God - their achievements came about purely because they responded to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and acted accordingly. We must try to If we live according to God's values - power and leadership according to the way of the Creator of all that is. The world is in such turmoil because humans believe that we have a better way of doing things - aren't we clever?
The person who has the greatest union with Christ is not a priest, a bishop, Pope, saint or angel but a humble woman.....Our Blessed Lady.
She said YES!
@@francescaderimini2931I thought the same
@thecatholicman who is the person you talk about that taught you more about union with God than anyone. I am hearing Jean Currie but I can’t find anything close to that on the web. God bless you and thank you for your witness! 🙏🏼

Thank you Robert! So beautifully explained by the people who spoke!
That we may be one in God - all peoples- each individual - and our own self to be one with God. God is on the march! No one is to be excluded. We do not need to be experts in the ways of the mystics.

For what ever reason this video touched me on a very deep level.... Especially the part about taking the time to interact with someone.
On another note... No time to spend with God? We surely cheat ourselves of the greatest way to spend our time.
It’s not about power or status, it’s about Faith
Good luck explaining that to a feminist.
The mission of the Church is simple. It is the conversion of souls and the provision of sacraments to those convertrd souls to try to help their eternal salvation.

Please let us pray for the Holy Father.
Dominos vobiscum Robert, an absolutely brilliant presentation.
Didn't Jesus tell us that what would draw people to the church is them seeing the love we have for one another? What a beautiful example of this with this humble eastern monk! We easily conflate "evangelization" with marketing. It really is about who we are for Christ and each other.
Union with God!
For that, we need a universal illumination of consciences
May God help us
Absolutely not!!! We have the fullness of the faith present in the church and thousands of Saints speak of their path to union with God here on earth.
The greatest model of church is the one Christ instituted. Just follow him and live like him.
The question from the sons of thunder from last Sunday’s gospel is quite instructive here

@@thecatholicman Well, they have seen the RCC been treated as an ngo by many a Catholic, lay and cleric (especially the lay clerics in the "pastoral" councils!!).
So these women should reflect on Jesus's response to the Apostle brothers who aske for seats on his right and left in heaven. Also, isn't it true that the last shall be first. The sisters need to meditate on the great gift of humility.
Bishops are the teachers of the Apostolic Faith, not Doctors of the Church notwithstanding their great contribution and experience.
@@grainneconroy2193 It's not either or. But both. Church councils and popes (bishops) have proposed Doctors of the church because of their wisdom and profound teachings.
Timothy covers the role of women within the hierarchy of the Church.. Silence is a great virtue exemplified by none greater than our Mother, the ultimate role model for the female of the species.
On this synod.. hmmm .. the priest in white said he never thought anyone came between him and the eucharist .. really.. can I as a lay person consecrate the host? No, of course not.. the priest is fundamental in the sacrifice of the mass ..
The priest gives access to Christ rather than coming in between though
Robert, given your perspective, what's the point of the institutional Church then?
To lead you to that union!!! To offer the sacraments, preserve the deposit of the faith. Unity of the faithful. A mission that clearly is in crisis at the moment.
Is that Ursula von der Leyen's (more) evil twin?
That is harsh

tell your daughters to emulate Mary the mother of Jesus, Magdalen, + the female followers of Jesus whose input was crucial but who understood the plan and desire of Jesus who did not call these women to the priesthood or as deacons....they also of course can become protestant Pastors , in 'protest' .......
God is on the march here and now. The Holy Spirit continues throughout the ages to renew and breathe life into the world.m One of our jobs as Christians is to be open to God and to work with the Holy Spirit. God's ways are not our ways and God's thoughts are not the thoughts of the human mind - we can all too easily thwart God's workings.
The daughters are chasing power instead of Christ. How sad for our Church.
That the Catholic Church has been thoroughly infiltrated by the worst, anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, liberal, marxist element is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact. Tragic. But, as usual, the fingers will not be pointed at the conspirators but at those who call them out....
Hi ,what do You think of tattoos?
Depends on the tattoo.
@@thecatholicman but is not a sin to make tattoos?
Not a good point. There are 33 doctors.. only 4 are women
There are many women saints who lead
@@thecatholicman We are all called to be servants of God as clearly shown in this Sunday's Gospel. Jesus had to explain to the Twelve on more than one occasion that power in the worldly sense is not what it's all about. The women and men Saints are saints because they showed themselves to be servants of God - their achievements came about purely because they responded to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and acted accordingly. We must try to If we live according to God's values - power and leadership according to the way of the Creator of all that is. The world is in such turmoil because humans believe that we have a better way of doing things - aren't we clever?
How many would satisfy you? Is sainthood too something where quotas need to be imposed?
