@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father." Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words. Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith. Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12). The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!” Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated. Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.
@@jpd4676 The priest in a way is like Jesus. He blesses the Holy Eucharist as a sacrifice for our sins like a priest. He intercedes to God on our behalf to forgive our sins. Father Goring gives us spiritual teaching that brings us closer to God the Father. The Holy Spirit is with us on Earth, but sometimes we need a representative of Jesus in human form.
@@jpd4676 thanks for your concern over my salvation. You are wrong I do need someone to help guide me to Heaven, so I can be a better person. Remember the people I look up to are the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise. As far as the sacrifice goes at mass goes, we are to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our salvation. The bread we eat is actually Jesus and the wine we drink is Jesus blood. Before Jesus, the Jewish priests would eat the animal sacrifices the people made to God in reparations for their sins. Look I tried I believe six different Protestant churches and I never found God in those churches. I did not find anything that I could believe in. In many of them, I was the only person who actually read the Bible.
Happy Father’s Day, Father Mark. Please keep shepherding us, your flock. Praise be Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have you with us during these very different times

This highlights the stark fact that only the Catholic Church is so rich in miracles, revelation, visions, and signs; not to mention saints. As a former Protestant, I can say without question they're strongly biased against such things as sanguine hosts which have been transformed. If three Protestant children told their parents they'd seen the Virgin Mary, it's almost a certainty that they'd be shunned until they recanted. No priest or authority would take their side. These attitudes toward the Eucharist and the saints turned me to the Holy Church.
God converted me out of atheism like He converted Paul from Judaism. For ten years I wandered around Protestantism. Pastor after pastor, “that wasn’t God” “God doesn’t do that anymore” “God only speaks through scripture”, blah blah blah. Here’s what I say to that, if God doesn’t speak to you, how do you know your interpretation of scripture is correct?
I have also experience such complete shutting out of anything supernatural among these non-Catholic "Christians". My priest went so far as to tell me not to engage them in any discussions about the Virgin Mary or Eucharist, since most of them are not even Christian!
@@michaelibach9063 That's just it! Regarding the various "interpretations" of Scripture, there are--as of the most recent count I heard--35,000+ denominations (churches) in Christianity. How many did Christ found? ONE, that which we today call the Catholic Church. And as to interpreting scripture, you have to have someone to be the final authority in doing so. That would be the Magisterium, or teaching authority, of His Church--else you'll splinter off into another "church".
@@vinceschenden7349 my conversion to Catholicism was also like Paul’s. I was raised antiCatholic so I avoided orthodoxy and Catholicism, but spent ten years studying Protestant teachings. Finding no rest, finding no Protestant denomination that was actually agreeing with what the Holy Spirit was teaching me personally. God started pushing me towards orthodoxy and Catholicism. Surprise, surprise, everything I had been taught about Catholicism in Protestantism was wrong and Catholicism lined up very well. I intellectually converted to Catholicism on the feast of Saint Paul’s conversion and was confirmed Paul when I entered the church. I hadn’t selected a name by the time my confirmation came around. God whispered that to me when the priest asked what name I wanted. It was literally the only name in my head.

JPD, if you read Luke 15:11-32 you will see Jesus himself use the word father 9 times in the story of the prodigal son. Only one example of our Lord and savior using the word “father” in the Bible. A man will leave his father and mother an cleave to his wife, have you read Mt 1:2 “ Abraham became the “father of Issac, and so on through the Genealogy of Jesus. My 10:35. Or the reading of “what father would hand his son a snake. Plus many more references to earthly “fathers”
JPD correct that’s why when reading scared scriptures one must take into account context. As Jesus said to Peter you will head His church, when He gave him the keys, therefore the person at your local church would be the father of it, not the whole universal church that Jesus started. It’s a respect issue. Which by the way Jesus didn’t create many different denominations, just one universal church, and didn’t relinquish the keys to anyone else. Same goes for taking oaths, see Mt5:33. Do you swear to tell the truth…..

For the Lord nothing is impossible 🙏 he is our real God not wood or stone 🙏 🙌 thank you fr for your holyness may you always be strong in God's love to proclaim good news all over the world 🌎 I tell my people about you fr to put on and listen the word fr have blessed Sunday 🙌 from Bombay.
So much of the world, especially our Protestant brothers and sisters, are missing so much by having discarded the truth about the Eucharist. Pity. Come Holy Spirit and renew every human's heart.
I showed one for decades Fr. Mark! Amen Glory to God in the Highest level of Love forever ❤❤❤ "He is Risen". Alleluia Alleluia Praise the Lord God Almighty ❤
We -- my wife and I -- love you and your work. You are remembered in our Rosary daily. ... And, still, the most impressive Eucharistic Miracle is our reception of Jesus at Mass today... not to diminish these others, of course. 🖒🤠
Many thanks with important Sunday reflections, may we all enjoy our day with the gospel, and appreciate the thoughtfulness Father Mark shares & inspires here, greatly enhances our love of daily prayers 💞🕊
Dear Fr. Goring, We were lucky enough to attend Mass this past Sunday at your parish and hear your preach about this Eucharistic miracle first hand!! We felt truly blessed to be there. What a beautiful congregation, the faith and church were visibly thriving! And the Communion rails, just amazing! God bless you!!
I started coming back to the Church about 24 years ago and *always took Communion in the hand* It wasn't until the pandemic hit that I began to know more about the Sacred Body of Christ and Eucharistic miracles that opened my eyes - I began to feel nervous and uneasy thinking that small pieces of His Body stayed in my hands and would fall to the floor so I stopped, completely, receiving Holy Communion since everywhere around me was given in the hand... Thankfully, after months, I found a Mass where I can receive with devotion and on the tongue His Sacred Body. I have read many comments of people witnessing or knowing of desecrations : the Holy Eucharist on the heel of a shoe (!!!) people swiping churches finding Holy Eucharists on the floor, one story involved a First Communion where the Host was on the floor with the teeth mark of the child (it's not the child fault but apparently, the child bit the Host didn't like and threw the Host on the ground) _It is scary so many sacrileges_ . Our Blessed Mother warned us in Garabandal : " *less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist* " May God help us✝️🛐
I dropped the eucharist once. I was horrified. I took communion in hand and took down my mask to put the Eucharist in my mouth. As I raised my hand, the eucharist hit my mask and broke in half. I picked it up right away and put it in my mouth. I made sure there was no crumb left. I spoke to the priest after mass. He didn't seem too concerned after I told him that I made sure there were no pieces left on the floor.
All Glory and Honour and Praise and Thank you to You Lord God The Heavenly🕊️ Father and Your Son The Lord and Saviour Jesus🙏🏻❤️ Christ the Lord Amen On this Wonderful and Most Holy Feast Day of Corpus Christi💒✝️❤️ Have a Lovely Blessed Sunday everyone.

@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father." Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words.
Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.

It's always so wonderful watching Fr Goring's informative videos! As a Male office worker in Administration, I get to watch, and Learn from Father.............even though I'm older than him. 😊 I always Present Father's videos to my wife, and say: " Look at how Focused Father Mark is, as a young man! I wish more Priests were like Him!" Be our Leader, Father!
All the scientific evidence in the world means nothing to those who have an obstinate refusal to believe. Lord, open the eyes of all your children. Give us all humility.
I've been to the Church where it happened... because of that miracle I met my husband. But the most amazing thing about the Church is that it has many statues, but I think maybe one or two are of Saints, the rest are of His Mother. And the biggest one was of our Sorrowful Mother. I smiled at our Lord, the most Powerful mamma's boy I know! 🥰 Like St. Maximilian Kolbe said , not to be afraid to love her with all our might, because we will never love her as much as Jesus does.
Hence why the Eucharist deserves to always be handled with the utmost reverence hence no one but a priest certainly not your neighbour and not not in our hands.

Thankyou Fr. Mark I appreciate your videos Happy Corpus Christi Day we are so Blessed By Jesus he gave us and gives us so many gifts like this day to feel Truly Blessed and Happy Praise Be Jesus Viva Christo Rey Glorious Corpus Christi Day To All Hallelujah
Thank you Father for explaning about the Eucharistic miracle in Mexico. About 25 years ago, I read the book titled " Wonders of the Mass" by Fr. Paul O Sullivan. It taught me that the Holy Mass is the Calvary Sacrifice performed on the alter by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I attended daily Holy Mass and I fervantly receive the Holy Eucharist. I cannot explain the inner peace and joy when I start the day with Holy Mass. Our present Assistant priest, at the beginning of the Holy Mass says " Let us participate in the Calvary Sacrifice fervantly". If all the priests can say it, the fervour of the participants will increase. Thank you Father for all you do to bring us closer to the love and mercy of Jesus, our Saviour.
Very special miracle and Corpus Cristi celebration indeed. My profound conversation came about after witnessing miracles during the Eucharist Adoration in Medjugorje 15 years ago. God is good all the time especially for sinners to convert.

Wow. 13,000 views in 7 hours! Job well done Father! God be praised forever! I remember when after a conversion experience I stumbled upon Eucharistic miracles and was astounded. What struck me was this question to myself: 'Why, having grown up going to Catholic grammar school, have I never heard of these? Why did I not hear of all the miracles surrounding our faith? Why did I hear a priest saying in a homily; 'We don't need miracles...' well, I don't know of anyone else but my conversion was NOTHING short of a miracle in of itself! Praise God forever! Not because I was so great, but because of the greatness of God. I am nothing without Him and still am nothing and THAT is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus I thank thee for all you do. I can never thank you enough. Amen.
I believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist 100%, body, soul, blood and Divinity. i receive the Eucharist daily for the graces this offers-the strength to get thru life and the spiritual intimate connection with Jesus.

A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.

@@jpd4676 The priest in a way is like Jesus. He blesses the Holy Eucharist as a sacrifice for our sins like a priest. He intercedes to God on our behalf to forgive our sins. Father Goring gives us spiritual teaching that brings us closer to God the Father. The Holy Spirit is with us on Earth, but sometimes we need a representative of Jesus in human form.
@@jpd4676 thanks for your concern over my salvation. You are wrong I do need someone to help guide me to Heaven, so I can be a better person. Remember the people I look up to are the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise.
As far as the sacrifice goes at mass goes, we are to remember the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our salvation. The bread we eat is actually Jesus and the wine we drink is Jesus blood. Before Jesus, the Jewish priests would eat the animal sacrifices the people made to God in reparations for their sins.
Look I tried I believe six different Protestant churches and I never found God in those churches. I did not find anything that I could believe in. In many of them, I was the only person who actually read the Bible.

Wonderful. Thank you
This highlights the stark fact that only the Catholic Church is so rich in miracles, revelation, visions, and signs; not to mention saints. As a former Protestant, I can say without question they're strongly biased against such things as sanguine hosts which have been transformed. If three Protestant children told their parents they'd seen the Virgin Mary, it's almost a certainty that they'd be shunned until they recanted. No priest or authority would take their side. These attitudes toward the Eucharist and the saints turned me to the Holy Church.
Welcome!
God converted me out of atheism like He converted Paul from Judaism.
For ten years I wandered around Protestantism. Pastor after pastor, “that wasn’t God” “God doesn’t do that anymore” “God only speaks through scripture”, blah blah blah.
Here’s what I say to that, if God doesn’t speak to you, how do you know your interpretation of scripture is correct?
I have also experience such complete shutting out of anything supernatural among these non-Catholic "Christians". My priest went so far as to tell me not to engage them in any discussions about the Virgin Mary or Eucharist, since most of them are not even Christian!
@@michaelibach9063 That's just it! Regarding the various "interpretations" of Scripture, there are--as of the most recent count I heard--35,000+ denominations (churches) in Christianity. How many did Christ found? ONE, that which we today call the Catholic Church. And as to interpreting scripture, you have to have someone to be the final authority in doing so. That would be the Magisterium, or teaching authority, of His Church--else you'll splinter off into another "church".
@@vinceschenden7349 my conversion to Catholicism was also like Paul’s. I was raised antiCatholic so I avoided orthodoxy and Catholicism, but spent ten years studying Protestant teachings. Finding no rest, finding no Protestant denomination that was actually agreeing with what the Holy Spirit was teaching me personally. God started pushing me towards orthodoxy and Catholicism.
Surprise, surprise, everything I had been taught about Catholicism in Protestantism was wrong and Catholicism lined up very well. I intellectually converted to Catholicism on the feast of Saint Paul’s conversion and was confirmed Paul when I entered the church.
I hadn’t selected a name by the time my confirmation came around. God whispered that to me when the priest asked what name I wanted. It was literally the only name in my head.
How Blessed we Catholics are🙏❤️

JPD, if you read Luke 15:11-32 you will see Jesus himself use the word father 9 times in the story of the prodigal son. Only one example of our Lord and savior using the word “father” in the Bible. A man will leave his father and mother an cleave to his wife, have you read Mt 1:2 “ Abraham became the “father of Issac, and so on through the Genealogy of Jesus. My 10:35. Or the reading of “what father would hand his son a snake. Plus many more references to earthly “fathers”
JPD correct that’s why when reading scared scriptures one must take into account context. As Jesus said to Peter you will head His church, when He gave him the keys, therefore the person at your local church would be the father of it, not the whole universal church that Jesus started. It’s a respect issue. Which by the way Jesus didn’t create many different denominations, just one universal church, and didn’t relinquish the keys to anyone else. Same goes for taking oaths, see Mt5:33. Do you swear to tell the truth…..

Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!”
Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated.

@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father."
Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words.
Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past. As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.
Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19).

I can anyone not believe? Jesus is trying to show us he is here...
So much of the world, especially our Protestant brothers and sisters, are missing so much by having discarded the truth about the Eucharist. Pity.
Come Holy Spirit and renew every human's heart.
I showed one for decades Fr. Mark!
Amen Glory to God in the Highest level of Love forever ❤❤❤

Alleluia Alleluia
Praise the Lord God Almighty ❤
We -- my wife and I -- love you and your work. You are remembered in our Rosary daily. ... And, still, the most impressive Eucharistic Miracle is our reception of Jesus at Mass today... not to diminish these others, of course. 🖒🤠
Praised be Jesus Christ forever!! ❤🙏🙌🙏
Many thanks with important Sunday reflections,
may we all enjoy our day with the gospel, and appreciate the thoughtfulness Father Mark shares & inspires here,
greatly enhances our love of daily prayers
💞🕊
Blessed and happy Corpus Christi, and happy Father’s Day Father Mark, we love and appreciate your inspirations ✝️🙏🥰
Thank you, Fr. Mark. May God grant you strength to continue your important work.
Dear Fr. Goring,
We were lucky enough to attend Mass this past Sunday at your parish and hear your preach about this Eucharistic miracle first hand!! We felt truly blessed to be there. What a beautiful congregation, the faith and church were visibly thriving! And the Communion rails, just amazing! God bless you!!
I started coming back to the Church about 24 years ago and *always took Communion in the hand* It wasn't until the pandemic hit that I began to know more about the Sacred Body of Christ and Eucharistic miracles that opened my eyes - I began to feel nervous and uneasy thinking that small pieces of His Body stayed in my hands and would fall to the floor so I stopped, completely, receiving Holy Communion since everywhere around me was given in the hand... Thankfully, after months, I found a Mass where I can receive with devotion and on the tongue His Sacred Body.
I have read many comments of people witnessing or knowing of desecrations : the Holy Eucharist on the heel of a shoe (!!!) people swiping churches finding Holy Eucharists on the floor, one story involved a First Communion where the Host was on the floor with the teeth mark of the child (it's not the child fault but apparently, the child bit the Host didn't like and threw the Host on the ground) _It is scary so many sacrileges_ . Our Blessed Mother warned us in Garabandal : " *less and less importance is being given to the Eucharist* "
May God help us✝️🛐
I dropped the eucharist once. I was horrified.
I took communion in hand and took down my mask to put the Eucharist in my mouth. As I raised my hand, the eucharist hit my mask and broke in half. I picked it up right away and put it in my mouth. I made sure there was no crumb left. I spoke to the priest after mass. He didn't seem too concerned after I told him that I made sure there were no pieces left on the floor.
MY LORD AND MY GOD
PRAISE BE JESUS CHRIST NOW AND FOREVER
May Carlos be blessed by God as a saint! Such a love he had for Jesus and Him gifting us these miracles for our hard hearts….
God is mi Idol and only HERO AMÉN
All Glory and Honour and Praise and Thank you to You Lord God The Heavenly🕊️ Father and Your Son The Lord and Saviour Jesus🙏🏻❤️ Christ the Lord Amen

It's always so wonderful watching Fr Goring's informative videos! As a Male office worker in Administration, I get to
watch, and Learn from Father.............even though I'm older than him. 😊 I always Present Father's videos to my wife,
and say: " Look at how Focused Father Mark is, as a young man! I wish more Priests were like Him!" Be our Leader, Father!
All the scientific evidence in the world means nothing to those who have an obstinate refusal to believe. Lord, open the eyes of all your children. Give us all humility.
Beautiful moment to start my day. Thank you Fr Mark
I've been to the Church where it happened... because of that miracle I met my husband. But the most amazing thing about the Church is that it has many statues, but I think maybe one or two are of Saints, the rest are of His Mother. And the biggest one was of our Sorrowful Mother.
I smiled at our Lord, the most Powerful mamma's boy I know! 🥰
Like St. Maximilian Kolbe said , not to be afraid to love her with all our might, because we will never love her as much as Jesus does.
Which church is this ?
Love this video.
God bless you

As with “rabbi,” so with “father.” The term designated the progenitor of a particular, even contradictory, interpretation of the Jewish faith.
Why did Jesus declare that no Christian leader is to be called “rabbi” or “father”? He was telling us that no leader may set up his own interpretation of the Catholic faith and seek followers for his opinions. The role of leaders in Christ’s Church is faithfully to hand on Christ’s teaching received through the apostles (Mt 28:19). The words of the apostle Paul epitomize the essential attitude of the Christian teacher: “This is what I received from the Lord and in turn passed on to you” (1 Cor 11:23). Paul condemns in the church at Corinth “these slogans you have, like ‘I am for Paul,’ ‘I am for Apollos,’ ‘I am for Cephas’ (1 Cor 1:12).
The history of Protestantism is essentially the story of this very process-the unending proliferation of sectarian groups, saying “I am for Martin Luther” or “I am for John Calvin” or “I am for John Wesley.” The World Christian Encyclopedia (David B. Barrett, ed.; Oxford, 1982) reported that in 1980 there were 20,780 distinguishable Christian denominations in the world. Moreover, at the time the encyclopedia was published, an average of 270 new denominations were springing up each year-more than five every week. If that rate has continued, then there are over 25,000 denominations today. Every single one of these competing, contradicting denominations was formed by some person who said, in effect, “Call me ‘Master,’ call me ‘Teacher’; I will tell you what the Christian truth is!”
Jesus foresaw this problem and provided the means for avoiding it. In the passage under discussion, he tells us, “you have only one teacher, the Christ.” And how are we to be taught by our one Teacher? By the means he provided. He founded the Church on the apostles and their successors, with a special role for Peter, the Rock, the earthly head of the Church. A Catholic knows that when the Church Christ founded speaks solemnly, Christ himself is speaking through her to each member. Every follower of Christ wants to know the truth, for “the truth [and only the truth] will make you free” (Jn 8:22). For acquiring that truth in its fullness, the Catholic Church established by Jesus Christ offers the only alternative to the chaos of ever-expanding denominationalism. Incidentally, both Old and New Testaments associate priesthood with fatherhood (cf. Jgs 17:10, 18:19, and 1 Cor 4:15), but in this case, Jesus’ command is not violated. Being a simple priest is in no way turning yourself into a guru and founding your own school of thought.
Praised be Jesus Christ! Happy Feast Day.
Happy Father’s Day Father Mark
Happy Corpus Christi. God bless you.
The love of Jesus for us knows no bounds. If only we could love him half as much in return. Thank you so much Father. Truly inspirational!
Thankyou Fr. Mark I appreciate your videos Happy Corpus Christi Day we are so Blessed By Jesus he gave us and gives us so many gifts like this day to feel Truly Blessed and Happy Praise Be Jesus Viva Christo Rey Glorious Corpus Christi Day To All Hallelujah
Thank you Father for explaning about the Eucharistic miracle in Mexico. About 25 years ago, I read the book titled " Wonders of the Mass" by Fr. Paul O Sullivan. It taught me that the Holy Mass is the Calvary Sacrifice performed on the alter by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, I attended daily Holy Mass and I fervantly receive the Holy Eucharist. I cannot explain the inner peace and joy when I start the day with Holy Mass.
Our present Assistant priest, at the beginning of the Holy Mass says " Let us participate in the Calvary Sacrifice fervantly". If all the priests can say it, the fervour of the participants will increase. Thank you Father for all you do to bring us closer to the love and mercy of Jesus, our Saviour.
Stories of eucharistic miracles brought me back to the faith.
Very special miracle and Corpus Cristi celebration indeed. My profound conversation came about after witnessing miracles during the Eucharist Adoration in Medjugorje 15 years ago. God is good all the time especially for sinners to convert.
Thank you for your amazing message about the Eucharistic miracle and Happy Feast of Corpus Christi. God bless you Fr. Mark Goring.
Happy Blessed Corpus Christi
Happy Father’s Day!!!! God bless you!!!

@@jpd4676 Question: Often non-Catholics ask, Why do Catholics call their priests "father"? They call our attention to Matthew 23:9, "You must call no one on earth your father."
Answer: A Catholic might respond, “How do you refer to your mother’s husband? What do you call him?” If a Catholic is wrong in calling his priest “father,” then everyone who refers to his own natural father as “father” is also in the wrong. Both usages would be prohibited by a literal interpretation of Jesus’ words.
Jesus came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law of the Old Covenant (Mt 5:17). If in Matthew 23:9 he literally forbids us even to acknowledge our natural fathers as our fathers, how can we keep the fourth commandment (“honor your father and your mother”)? Taken literally, Jesus’ words in Matthew 23:9 contradict his claim in Matthew 5:17, but we know that the Son of God never contradicts himself. Look again at the passage in which Jesus says we must call no one “father.” In contrast to the attitudes of the Pharisees and others, Jesus is specifying the qualities Christian leaders must exhibit (Mt 23:1-12). The Pharisees aspired to being called “rabbi” (or “master” or “teacher”), leaders of schools of thought. Among the schools headed by teachers called “rabbi” there were divergences of belief, some of them in actual contradiction. A similar situation prevailed with regard to the term “father” (in Aramaic, abba, a title of honor). The title was given to well-known Jewish religious authorities of the past.

Happy Corpus Christi Father!
Wow. 13,000 views in 7 hours! Job well done Father! God be praised forever! I remember when after a conversion experience I stumbled upon Eucharistic miracles and was astounded. What struck me was this question to myself: 'Why, having grown up going to Catholic grammar school, have I never heard of these? Why did I not hear of all the miracles surrounding our faith? Why did I hear a priest saying in a homily; 'We don't need miracles...' well, I don't know of anyone else but my conversion was NOTHING short of a miracle in of itself! Praise God forever! Not because I was so great, but because of the greatness of God. I am nothing without Him and still am nothing and THAT is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus I thank thee for all you do. I can never thank you enough. Amen.
Lord Jesus, present in the most holy Eucharist, have mercy on us sinners 🙏
Happy father's day to you fr. Mark.🎈 Que viva Corpus Christi.🙋♀️🙋♂️
Praise Jesus fully present in the Blessed Sacrament!
I believe Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist 100%, body, soul, blood and Divinity. i receive the Eucharist daily for the graces this offers-the strength to get thru life and the spiritual intimate connection with Jesus.
Why have we never heard of this? This is the first time I am hearing about it. Thank you, Father Mark.
Hi, I live in Mexico and i didn’t know about this miracle 😍🥰🥰🥰 viva Cristo Rey 🤴 God bless you
Happy Father's Day to all the good, decent, loving & truly faith-filled priests; thank you for all you impart to us!
