As someone who grew and lives in Portugal, and to whom Fatima was always integral part of our faith, is good to see its message to find new ways to reach the world.
I always think of the words of the Act of Contrition when it comes to this topic. Fear of hell can be a good motivator and it is real. But above all, offending and separating oneself from God is truly what we must guard against
I’ve always had a problem with the idea that those who go to hell are somehow at the mercy of others (those who are less disciplined in the spiritual life). Oh, if only 10 more people would have said just one more rosary than those poor souls could have been saved. As a Catholic this doesn’t make sense to me. EDIT: Although i have issues with this, I will still continue to pray the rosary and do novenas for sinners. Hopefully it’ll make sense when I’m finally dead upon realizing that both I prayed enough for others and others prayed enough for me. Only death will tell!!
Yes and no. Our prayers, notably when we pray the rosary, are heard and does contribute in leading souls to God, leading to their salvation. That doesn't mean that we are to make a game out of it, in the sense that we know how many souls exactly are saved through our specific number of rosaries prayed. We are simply asked to pray one rosary each day (among other things but we are now talking about the rosary, specifically) and we are told, by our Lady, on several occassions, that it will help lead lost souls to God, through our Lady, leading them to their salvation. It should be left at that since you're going to err one way or another in trying to say that X prayers will save Y souls.
Your holiness impacts others, as you draw closer to Christ you can't help but draw others towrd him with you. Don't think of it as a points on a scoreboard or "an amount of rosaries" but rather as we refelct Christ more of his light penetrates the darkess and those in that darkness can turn toward him. Light elimates the darkness, not mirrors, it is his mercy not ours.
People who go to hell chose it. God calls them to Himself whether it’s through you, me, Ralph or some dude. However, God gives us the opportunity to be one of the ones actually involved in their salvation process, through either prayer or evangelization. But we don’t actually save people, it’s the Holy Spirit.
If you know someone is committing serious sin, should you not tell them to repent? Maybe they will repent and be saved if you admonish them? Maybe if they die without you warning them they will go to Hell? If you know someone needs admonishment you have a DUTY to do it and even risk your own salvation by failing to do it. Now if you agree that admonishment is efficacious to bring about conversion, then why not also prayer? We have a duty to pray for sinners as much as to admonish them. In fact the failure to do so can allow them to lose salvation and will affect us at judgement time if we knew we should be praying for them. In the Body of Christ we are all connected. If one member suffers the whole body suffers. If one member fails to do his part the whole body does less unless someone else takes on extra to make up for the ones doing less than they should.
I don’t know what your dream entailed but a couple years ago before I was diagnosed with kidney disease and sleep apnea, I used to have sleep paralysis every couple of nights and horrible nightmares. In particular one about hell shook me and I will never forget it. It wasn’t what you’d expect though, it was just darkness, no light nothing… just black emptinesses and pain and despair. It was very hard waking up the next morning feeling like that.
Dear Our Lady of Fatima, please pray for all poor sinners and help us to pray and do penances as you requested, to save us from Eternal Damnation, 🙏 Amen 🙏
It is a great book. What struck most was the Children’s focus on the abandonment of Jesus. It drove them to despair and incredible sadness. What 6 and 8 year old thinks of this?
Today, so many souls are going to hell because of so much abuse or neglect in their early childhood in their own homes. Abuse of every kind is unbelievably rampant, and in all social classes. And with daycares and electronics being the norm, a large majority of parents let these raise their children and shirk their awesome responsibilities as a parent to love and nurture their children. Or as Mother Angelica said » we are putting children on computers and screens at 4 and 5 years old. What is in front of you becomes your god ». Very few mothers and fathers are concerned or are aware about helping their children get to Heaven.
My eyes will FOREVER be on Jesus it is HE ALONE that can save. Reading one's Holy Bible KJV will help. I pray to God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I close my prayer in Jesus Name. Hallelujah🙏
I’m so blessed to live just down the road from Ralph Martin and Christ the King church. While it’s not my primary location, it’s next to the dominos pizza “farm” which has an amazing Catholic bookstore. I have yet to meet Ralph but just knowing I live so close to this legend is amazing
Obrigado Mãe. Glória ao Pai e o Filho e o Espírito Santo. Com era no princípio, agora e sempre. Amen. (Btw I speak English, I know little more than these words).
Mary apparently said, "Pray, pray a great deal, and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because they have no one to sacrifice and pray for them." Doesn't this imply that people go to hell because of other people's inaction? How is that fair? Also, why wasn't Jesus' sacrifice enough? And why wouldn't the saints in heaven do extra prayers for these people if we don't? In other words, why are other people's salvation delegated to us in a way that our failures can doom them for eternity? Am I missing something here?
what is the name of this book, so we can read it too? Agree with Ralph Martin that reading a primary source is the most powerful and direct experience.
Tbh. In 2014 I was living so reckless robbing people bare face in the same spot in thier cars for drugs one block from my house, laying in wait to take people lives for hours , getting high on many drugs, lying cheating stilling…. I was sin but I thought I was a good person. I had a outer body experience were I felt myself get shot in the back of the head, I could smell blood and concrete, I could hear the rumors of the onlookers whisper their opinions on what had happened to me, my family outside in shock broken hearted, in that moment I felt myself twitching and I was enlightened to the fact that the twitching comes from us as humans being so stubborn that my body was trying to hold on to this realm in some type of way your body doesn’t understand when the soul is leaving. Everything got quite and then I heard the voice of the guy who had did this to me say” I had to get him before he got me”. first I was in denial and the. I went somewhere so dark I cannot explain it. I didn’t see anything that I can put in a human category in any type of way. But as human we try to categories for our own safety. All I can compare what happens next is the hands of GOD held out his hands with all the dark demons I had came in agreement with and I knew I would be ripped to shreds if the got me. I scream at got I didn’t want it, I tried to manipulate him, I try to threaten him, I tried to flirt with him, I tried to finesse him, he just kept saying “ no but this is what you wanted”. Not until I completely surrendered and was in a spiritual prostration position and completely humbled myself and ask him for forgiveness and protection did he take those things away. That’s when I felt the most peaceful overwhelming love I have ever experienced. He show me basically how if I aligned with him we’re he would take me is way beyond any level of accomplishment I could ever imagine and I felt so honored that he would even choose me. I felt so foolish for being afraid to die, or of war nuclear weapons or anything, when we all have to die anyway 😂and GOD has the last say on we’re your soul gos. I was enlightened to a lot of things. I felt so honored that he payed me any mind and as if I was a family member of the highest king and humbly untouchable🙏🏽💪🏽. I woke up in a hospital bed with a catheter in my penis and I thought it was from being shot In the head but the nurse told me I was only dehydrated 🤔. I went home and sat in my dark room for hours thinking. Right there I knew there were unlimited realms and so many things going on that we cannot see. GOD wasn’t like us in any way the only way I can compare him to is like when you see a picture of space and you see those big colorful powerful cloud looking things and have infinite galaxies inside of them that’s what I would say. I think we are looking at the whole concept of God way to small and putting him in a box. FIND PEACE WITHIN AND SPREAD LOVE IS THE MESSAGE. People who are faking like they are happy and are GOOD people and Nate wicked, jealous, hateful, and judgmental will be in for a rude awakening is all I know.
Thx! I like Ralph Martin. Am a peer of his! I I prefer your serious normal videos rather than your crazy strange off beat ones. I will keep checking for this type and watch them! God bless. 🙏👍😃
To all those struggling with the “People go to hell because we don’t pray for them”. It doesn’t mean that the primary reason people go to hell is our lack of prayer for them. It means that had we pray for them, they could have avoided hell, even though they fully deserved it. Allow me to explain with a metaphor. Imagine that each human being is born with a small fire. You can grow that fire indefinitely. But if that fire goes extinct and you die, you go to hell. That fire is your conscience, your will, or your spirituality. Each time you do something bad, it diminishes, each time you do something good, it increases. If John is consistently sinning, his flame eventually goes out, and he deserves to go to hell. But if Lucia has a big fire (ie: a strong spiritual life), she can ask God to use her fire to revive John’s flame. By doing that, John would be saved. But if Lucia wouldn’t do that, John would be damned. John would still deserve damnation because it’s his own fault if his flame ran out. But at the same time, the statement that “John went to hell because Lucia didn’t offer her flame (by prayer)” remains true. The only question is: Why would God not revive the flame of John even without Lucia’s intervention? God is a balance between mercy and justice. This balance is mysterious and we don’t know what makes God more merciful here, and more righteous there. Still, sometimes, God will decide to revive someone’s flame by pure mercy (ie: that person didn’t “deserve” it). Sometimes, He exercises his justice and doesn’t do it. If people chose to lead a life of sin and their flame went out, they deserve to go to hell. They never deserve to have their flame revived, but sometimes God revives it anyway. Notice that when one communicates fire to someone else, it doesn’t decrease his own fire. Also, notice that when someone runs out of fire (ie: isn’t in the state of grace anymore) one cannot re-start the fire (reconnect himself to God) by himself, which is exactly what catholic theology teaches. Hope that was helpful.
I just wonder why life has to be so difficult. The more I hear about trying to get into heaven, the less I see me getting there. There are more and more obstacles everywhere that have me stumbling over. One step forward , twenty steps backwards. I don't think anyone is in heaven at this rate. It's just too difficult to get there ( and I try my best to do good things, to be sympathetic to people who are in trouble, to try and keep the peace when my family are arguing. Nothing seems good enough. )
Don't be afraid! You have touched on an incredible truth. The thing about salvation is not that we can "earn or win our way into heaven," but Christ's sacrifice on the cross made it possible in the first place to enter into heaven. I find it is not so much about trying to "get in" to heaven as it is preparing my soul to fully embrace God with my earthly life. One day when we die, God will ask us "how we loved and who we loved." So I live my life with that in mind, avoiding things that are poisonous to my soul, and relying on God's mercy in Confession to fortify and forgive me when I go astray. God's grace comes through when I ask for His help, especially when things are difficult. Lean on Him to support you in the things you struggle with because with Him, anything is possible.
Don't forget that one step forward, twenty steps backward is not giving up. Crawl forward if you have to and call on the Holy Spirit to give you strength. An eternity in union with God is worth it. And our faith shows us that struggle and sacrifice has meaning and is not in vain.
Because we are not meant to go at it alone. We are sinners by nature. We can only do it with God’s grace. To Jesus they Mary. Keep Calm and pray the Rosary.
Those are temptations from the evil one. He attacks all of us this way. I struggle too. Replace the lies with the truth...you are a child of God. Say, « In the name of Jesus be gone Satan! ». Say it 3 times . Think of Jesus often, and Him telling you from the Cross, He is your loving Creator and Daddy, and He is suffering for your soul to save you on the Cross. We have to fight our thoughts until the day we die.
Like every human being.....we are ALL challenged and can, at times, become frustrated.....despair is not an option. We must "fight the good fight", "finish the race". God will help us do this but we must ask for Grace. HE will carry most of the weight of the Cross....we must only life...a small part of it. Stay in the fight and God bless!
Not at all what scripture or the saints teach. The magisterium teaches that any who die in a state of mortal sin go to hell. Look around, there is so much vice and sin everywhere. Fornication, abortion, porn, and all forms of vice are practiced. It is certainly so few that are saved.
I have trouble with the conceit of asking God to pardon others. Does God really need us to ask him to pardon others? The concept of eternal hell remains, for me, irreconcilable with a loving and forgiving God. Purgatory I can handle. Suffering for sins I can understand. Eternal suffering with no redemption possible, seems a very sick and odd philosophy that’s completely inconsistent with the very core principles of Christianity. I must be missing something. @2:28
The Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
We shouldn’t offend God with even the smallest sins. Being profoundly affected by this message is proof of the work of the Holy Spirit. Fatima in Lucia’s own words. Must read it
in 1996 I bought the book about Fatima's our Lady visions to the 3 children at Fatima from Juan , the brother of Francisco and Jacinta. Juan signed it for me. we also visited the two homes of the children, the apparation tree is still their.
hell is being lonely and alone... with debt you cant pay... while working a job you hate, with people you despise...whlie thinking that eating pils and drinking alcohol will save you...
You can believe that people go to hell because "not enough people prayed for them" or "they made a free choice to reject God" but you can't have both. Really startling to see Ralph Martin promote what I believe is essentially a warped perception of salvation
The lack of prayers and sacrifices can coincide with a lack of soul-saving grace, just as prayers and sacrifices can be the instruments for another's salvation.
@@adamjj7751 No you actually can't. If you positively assert that people would have gone to heaven if certain people would have prayed for them - then salvation is no longer about a free choice of the individual. You can uphold all the Thomistic nuanced philosophy or not - but I stand by my opinion that its a false view of salvation
@@SuperSaiyanKrillin you say "positively assert" but you should change that to "believe". Let me ask something. Would more people go to heaven if more people baptized people? Would more people go to heaven if more people shared the Gospel? Man is responsible for his damnation, God is responsible for man's salvation. In God's plan for salvation, he has desired and designed for man to participate in the plan for salvation. I encourage you to read " The mystery of Predestination" by John Salza. I promise you that it will blow your mind and enrich you in many different theological matters.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Do a rebuttal on that Freedheart lady who claims to be a Christian, but goes around telling kids that if they feel LGBT, it is ok and they will not go to hell, and the Bible affirms LGBT... SHE IS MAD!!! AND IS LYING AND DECEIVING THESE POOR PEOPLE!!!! our good and faithful Catholics need to stand up against this garbage!!!!
Hey Matt, a few months back you told us that you were cancelling your amazon prime membership... Now the only link you give to buy your book is on Amazon ... Have you changed your stance ? I myself have been doing my best not to buy on Amazon but convenience sometimes does win
What sort of person is given a communication with Jesus/ God. I've had terrible dreams over the years ...falling out of bed..slight concussion ( sober)...but 1 dream of late I was being dragged from bottom of my bed by 2 "demonic" spirits in my dream / nightmare. A precursor to my place in the afterlife??? Is this my communication with Jesus????
Ask God, our Blessed Mother, all the angels and saints, especially your guardian angel, to protect you. Listen to Fr Ripperger's talks on spiritual warfare. Never stop praying and trying to get closer to God. Praying for you.
Fr Ripperger’s talks are really awesome. Our dreams are a reflection of our emotions or fears. Sometimes it is possible for the demons to agitate us in our sleep. Sprinkle holy water on your bed and keep blessed objects or rosary next to your bed. If you still have them, it’s probably stemming from fears and anxiety in your life.
Yes our catholic schools are scared to tell the kids at school even though Mary took the children to hell life has changed so much in the catholic faith pray for priests now some of them do not have a Mass on Saturday morning we use to have adoration and confession then the priest would have benediction and he would go to our Lady statue and sing the Salve Regina now the new parish priest stopped all of this its so sad . Can you let me know the name of the book you spoke about.
Exactly. Teaching children in Catholic schools, how to love God with their minds and strength is probably the most ignored commandment. Most people don’t know what that means other than don’t worship another religion’s god. It means using the mind and pleasure zone in the brain that we get from entertainment, and use it as St Paul says, thinking if beautiful things, honorable, heavenly things, everyday taking time to think of Jesus’ Passion and His Love in a personal way. Telling kids how to be in the Présence of God. A lot depends on their ability to have healthy relationships, depending on what type of environment their home life is.
Our catholic faith is often marred by all these visions and apparitions, some genuine some not. But Gospels is all we need to know Our Lord . In a University there many classes, there are class 101 by Peter, Paul, saints and visionaries and there are others, Moses...Jeremiah but in One Class XC is Our Lord, which one will your prefer? Oh!! to be in touch with our Lord, reading a passage or two daily, hearing his words in Gospels is so wonderous and you live Life fully, like Pope Benedict " there is nothing more beautiful in life than to be surprised by the Gospels. Yes, our Lord talked about hell but also on this Good Friday as we commemorate His death, He paid for our sins, let no one undermine His death , He paid a ransom for us ordinary folks. For those who are step away from Hell unless they repent look no further, all those who are condemned by earthly Judges. Rapists, murderers , serial killers, thieves and those in high places who are engaged in genocide Hitler and recently in Ukraine, Russian President Vlad Putin and his Generals
Trying to be charitable here, just to make sure I’m getting this straight. Quoting from Catholic sources and from this video, a being appeared to some kids that appeared as “a Lady all in white, more brilliant than the sun” standing above a bush. And Ralph Martin says the being told the kids, “so many souls are going to hell because so few people are praying and offering sacrifices for them.” Just skimming through the comments here I see people are expressing that this isn’t sitting right with them.
Not anywhere near enough of a description for US to be able to put our hands on a copy of the book! Do you even remotely understand that you are NOT getting US there. How utterly disappointing!
Well it’s an approved apparition & Mary correctly predicted things like World War II, offensive fashions ( I would consider the bikini to be an offensive fashion because it’s disgusting it’s like you’re walking around in your underwear) And well if you just read the messages of Fatima you would want to be devoted to the messages and do prayer fasting & penance.
PRAYING FOR THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY EXACTLY AS SHE ASKED IN 1917 WITH ALL THE BISHOPS AND THE POPE TOGETHER. EXPLICITLY.
Hell is like the really bad things we can think of that happen on earth. Oh wait . . .!! (did we just look at things around us and make it up?) Priests have been showing children a foreshadowing of hell for centuries.
This may come as a surprise, but Mary, mother of Jesus, was not in Fatima or any other earthly place. Scripture says very little about her after the crucifixtion. So it is safe to assume she died a normal, human death, possibly old age. She was not devine, or a perpetual virgin, nor many of the other fables the Catholic church wants us to believe. She found favor with God. End of story. Mary was human and in need of a savior just like everybody else. Throw your Catholic bibles away and read the regular KJV. The truth is out there. IF I could find it so can you.
My interpretation of Bishop Barron's statement that Christianity is the best way to heaven and that there are other ways is the same as Jesus' statements on the cross, 'this day you will be with Me in Paradise' where Jesus did not use the words 'repent to the dying thief', also Jesus' statement that 'those not against me are for me' which means that Jesus can as he transubstantiated bread and wine to his Person can use every single thought and matter to draw everything to Himself. Bishop Barron's optimistic statement is to me a form of humility to recognize that God is All Powerful. When opinions of Ralph and Mr Fradd are representative of the ARROGANCE OF SATAN. FOR SATAN REBELLED AGAINST GOD BECAUSE GOD EXERTED UTMOST EFFORT TO SAVE ALL MANKIND. Bishop Barron has the background to make interpretation of Vatican. Ralph Martin's way of speaking and Matt Fradd's way of speaking turn off the most interesting people that God would like to convert. I would rather think God can succeed in the worst sinner rather than have in me an anger that hinders the salvation of the least. This attitude of Ralph Martin and Matt Frad are the very image of a millstone tied around their necks. I am sure Bishop would be more pleasing to God who has faith on salvation of the least, rather than Ralph and Matt repeatedly stating doctrine and their understanding of it. SHAME ON YOU TWO AND THE LIKES OF YOU TOO IF YOU ARE WRONG FOR YOU HINDER THE ENTRY INTO HEAVEN BY THOSE WHO ARE LEAST. HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE MORE WORTHY TO CAUSE CONVERSION OF THESE LEAST MORE THAN BARRON WHO HAS STAKED THEIR SEX LIFE AND THEIR MINDS TO GOD. SATAN WAS A HERETIC BECAUSE HE WILL NOT SERVE GOD WHO WILL GO AFTER THE LEAST.
Oh ! You must be what we call as a see'r a Ralph , Guess what , Do not be alarmed , that will be your resting place for eternity , not to worry you have already seen it , you will be right at home , how old are you now? Late sixties I'm guessing ? Not long to go , maybe ten , just think you are going home .
In all probability, Mary is in Abraham's Bosom, not in heaven. If those in Fatima saw an apparition, it came from dark forces. The Bible never mentions Mary's death, never alludes to her having special powers. What is does say is the only mediator and redeemer is Jesus Christ. Praying to Mary goes against scripture, as does praying to or for the dead. If it isn't in the bible, it's irrelevant.
Why are ALL the visionaries that receive visions of hell never in agreement. No two have the same story. Why is that? I am serious, I would like a response. None of the stories agree. (Its also for visions of heaven. The church never supported any of those stories but no two of them are the same either. I think these people are just having a dream and believe they visited there)
In what way? Most of the Saints have described it very similarly. If you take a bunch of people and have them watch a horror show, they will describe it very closely but each differently on how that individual experienced seeing it. Some Saints such as St Bosco were given more visions and detail of Heaven and hell. So that’s why you may see some differences.
@@christiandpaul631 describe what you are referring to. I am not arguing. But there may be some things that are not correct if you are reading from the internet or You tube.There are plenty of sites claiming to be Catholic, and make up their own version. But as ALL Saints have said, it is truly impossible to describe the beauty and happiness of Heaven. And hell too terrifying for the mind to imagine. In the end that settles it. Both cannot be put perfectly in human terms.
Oh no! Charismatics don't go to hell, they are filled with the Holy Spirit! They speak in tongues, write books and minister to people at rock and babble fests. Fradd and his Fraddismatics and Martin and his "new evangelists" don't have a thing to worry about!
As someone who grew and lives in Portugal, and to whom Fatima was always integral part of our faith, is good to see its message to find new ways to reach the world.

I hear you and I share that too

Ya, I always wondered, why people have children if they're not going to be there to experience them and vice versa?
The message of Fatima affirms the message of the Gospel….

Tbh. In 2014 I was living so reckless robbing people bare face in the same spot in thier cars for drugs one block from my house, laying in wait to take people lives for hours , getting high on many drugs, lying cheating stilling…. I was sin but I thought I was a good person. I had a outer body experience were I felt myself get shot in the back of the head, I could smell blood and concrete, I could hear the rumors of the onlookers whisper their opinions on what had happened to me, my family outside in shock broken hearted, in that moment I felt myself twitching and I was enlightened to the fact that the twitching comes from us as humans being so stubborn that my body was trying to hold on to this realm in some type of way your body doesn’t understand when the soul is leaving.

I didn’t see anything that I can put in a human category in any type of way. But as human we try to categories for our own safety. All I can compare what happens next is the hands of GOD held out his hands with all the dark demons I had came in agreement with and I knew I would be ripped to shreds if the got me. I scream at got I didn’t want it, I tried to manipulate him, I try to threaten him, I tried to flirt with him, I tried to finesse him, he just kept saying “ no but this is what you wanted”. Not until I completely surrendered and was in a spiritual prostration position and completely humbled myself and ask him for forgiveness and protection did he take those things away. That’s when I felt the most peaceful overwhelming love I have ever experienced. He show me basically how if I aligned with him we’re he would take me is way beyond any level of accomplishment I could ever imagine and I felt so honored that he would even choose me. I felt so foolish for being afraid to die, or of war nuclear weapons or anything, when we all have to die anyway 😂and GOD has the last say on we’re your soul gos. I was enlightened to a lot of things. I felt so honored that he payed me any mind and as if I was a family member of the highest king and humbly untouchable🙏🏽💪🏽. I woke up in a hospital bed with a catheter in my penis and I thought it was from being shot In the head but the nurse told me I was only dehydrated 🤔. I went home and sat in my dark room for hours thinking. Right there I knew there were unlimited realms and so many things going on that we cannot see. GOD wasn’t like us in any way the only way I can compare him to is like when you see a picture of space and you see those big colorful powerful cloud looking things and have infinite galaxies inside of them that’s what I would say. I think we are looking at the whole concept of God way to small and putting him in a box. FIND PEACE WITHIN AND SPREAD LOVE IS THE MESSAGE. People who are faking like they are happy and are GOOD people and Nate wicked, jealous, hateful, and judgmental will be in for a rude awakening is all I know.
I wanna hear an entire podcast on Fatima. It’s fascinating!
It honestly is.
Even the situation surrounding the mayor who tried to stop it all is interesting because he was a Freemason.
The movie is well made. Highlights the troubles the parents went through, loss of their farm, money etc. So good
Look up Fatima Today podcast by the World Apostolate of Fatima!
Thx! I like Ralph Martin. Am a peer of his! I I prefer your serious normal videos rather than your crazy strange off beat ones.
I will keep checking for this type and watch them! God bless. 🙏👍😃
To all those struggling with the “People go to hell because we don’t pray for them”.
It doesn’t mean that the primary reason people go to hell is our lack of prayer for them.
It means that had we pray for them, they could have avoided hell, even though they fully deserved it.
Allow me to explain with a metaphor.
Imagine that each human being is born with a small fire.
You can grow that fire indefinitely.
But if that fire goes extinct and you die, you go to hell.
That fire is your conscience, your will, or your spirituality.
Each time you do something bad, it diminishes, each time you do something good, it increases.
If John is consistently sinning, his flame eventually goes out, and he deserves to go to hell.
But if Lucia has a big fire (ie: a strong spiritual life), she can ask God to use her fire to revive John’s flame.
By doing that, John would be saved. But if Lucia wouldn’t do that, John would be damned.
John would still deserve damnation because it’s his own fault if his flame ran out.
But at the same time, the statement that “John went to hell because Lucia didn’t offer her flame (by prayer)” remains true.
The only question is: Why would God not revive the flame of John even without Lucia’s intervention? God is a balance between mercy and justice. This balance is mysterious and we don’t know what makes God more merciful here, and more righteous there. Still, sometimes, God will decide to revive someone’s flame by pure mercy (ie: that person didn’t “deserve” it). Sometimes, He exercises his justice and doesn’t do it.
If people chose to lead a life of sin and their flame went out, they deserve to go to hell.
They never deserve to have their flame revived, but sometimes God revives it anyway.
Notice that when one communicates fire to someone else, it doesn’t decrease his own fire.
Also, notice that when someone runs out of fire (ie: isn’t in the state of grace anymore) one cannot re-start the fire (reconnect himself to God) by himself, which is exactly what catholic theology teaches.
Hope that was helpful.
I just wonder why life has to be so difficult. The more I hear about trying to get into heaven, the less I see me getting there. There are more and more obstacles everywhere that have me stumbling over. One step forward , twenty steps backwards. I don't think anyone is in heaven at this rate. It's just too difficult to get there ( and I try my best to do good things, to be sympathetic to people who are in trouble, to try and keep the peace when my family are arguing. Nothing seems good enough. )
Don't be afraid! You have touched on an incredible truth. The thing about salvation is not that we can "earn or win our way into heaven," but Christ's sacrifice on the cross made it possible in the first place to enter into heaven.
I find it is not so much about trying to "get in" to heaven as it is preparing my soul to fully embrace God with my earthly life. One day when we die, God will ask us "how we loved and who we loved." So I live my life with that in mind, avoiding things that are poisonous to my soul, and relying on God's mercy in Confession to fortify and forgive me when I go astray. God's grace comes through when I ask for His help, especially when things are difficult. Lean on Him to support you in the things you struggle with because with Him, anything is possible.
Don't forget that one step forward, twenty steps backward is not giving up. Crawl forward if you have to and call on the Holy Spirit to give you strength. An eternity in union with God is worth it. And our faith shows us that struggle and sacrifice has meaning and is not in vain.
Because we are not meant to go at it alone. We are sinners by nature. We can only do it with God’s grace. To Jesus they Mary. Keep Calm and pray the Rosary.
Those are temptations from the evil one. He attacks all of us this way. I struggle too. Replace the lies with the truth...you are a child of God. Say, « In the name of Jesus be gone Satan! ». Say it 3 times . Think of Jesus often, and Him telling you from the Cross, He is your loving Creator and Daddy, and He is suffering for your soul to save you on the Cross. We have to fight our thoughts until the day we die.
Like every human being.....we are ALL challenged and can, at times, become frustrated.....despair is not an option. We must "fight the good fight", "finish the race". God will help us do this but we must ask for Grace. HE will carry most of the weight of the Cross....we must only life...a small part of it. Stay in the fight and God bless!
*FEW* souls go directly to Heaven, *MOST* souls go to Purgatory. And ONLY the souls who *REJECTED* God end up in Hell.
Not at all what scripture or the saints teach. The magisterium teaches that any who die in a state of mortal sin go to hell. Look around, there is so much vice and sin everywhere. Fornication, abortion, porn, and all forms of vice are practiced. It is certainly so few that are saved.
God’s blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have trouble with the conceit of asking God to pardon others. Does God really need us to ask him to pardon others? The concept of eternal hell remains, for me, irreconcilable with a loving and forgiving God. Purgatory I can handle. Suffering for sins I can understand. Eternal suffering with no redemption possible, seems a very sick and odd philosophy that’s completely inconsistent with the very core principles of Christianity. I must be missing something. @2:28
The Fatima Prayer: O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
Would you consider interviewing Rob Evans who was The Donut Man with Integrity Music?
We shouldn’t offend God with even the smallest sins. Being profoundly affected by this message is proof of the work of the Holy Spirit. Fatima in Lucia’s own words. Must read it
in 1996 I bought the book about Fatima's our Lady visions to the 3 children at Fatima from Juan , the brother of Francisco and Jacinta. Juan signed it for me. we also visited the two homes of the children, the apparation tree is still their.
lies,, evil catholic church does not save sinners from hell fire
Great video.Thanks
The most authentic revelation of Hell comes from scripture , not medieval art.
A HORRIFYING Vision of Hell w/ Ralph Martin
Anyone know a saint who talked about a vision of Eucharist ministers in hell?
hell is being lonely and alone... with debt you cant pay... while working a job you hate, with people you despise...whlie thinking that eating pils and drinking alcohol will save you...
You can believe that people go to hell because "not enough people prayed for them" or "they made a free choice to reject God" but you can't have both.
Really startling to see Ralph Martin promote what I believe is essentially a warped perception of salvation
You can have both. Thomistic predestination, the elect, efficacious grace, they are all Catholic theology.
The lack of prayers and sacrifices can coincide with a lack of soul-saving grace, just as prayers and sacrifices can be the instruments for another's salvation.
@@adamjj7751 No you actually can't. If you positively assert that people would have gone to heaven if certain people would have prayed for them - then salvation is no longer about a free choice of the individual.
You can uphold all the Thomistic nuanced philosophy or not - but I stand by my opinion that its a false view of salvation
@@SuperSaiyanKrillin it's called synergism.
@@SuperSaiyanKrillin you say "positively assert" but you should change that to "believe".
Let me ask something. Would more people go to heaven if more people baptized people? Would more people go to heaven if more people shared the Gospel?
Man is responsible for his damnation, God is responsible for man's salvation. In God's plan for salvation, he has desired and designed for man to participate in the plan for salvation.
I encourage you to read " The mystery of Predestination" by John Salza. I promise you that it will blow your mind and enrich you in many different theological matters.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Do a rebuttal on that Freedheart lady who claims to be a Christian, but goes around telling kids that if they feel LGBT, it is ok and they will not go to hell, and the Bible affirms LGBT...

“More hell cowbell!” -Larry Chapp
Hey Matt, a few months back you told us that you were cancelling your amazon prime membership... Now the only link you give to buy your book is on Amazon ... Have you changed your stance ? I myself have been doing my best not to buy on Amazon but convenience sometimes does win
What is the book? How do I get a copy?
What sort of person is given a communication with Jesus/ God. I've had terrible dreams over the years ...falling out of bed..slight concussion ( sober)...but 1 dream of late I was being dragged from bottom of my bed by 2 "demonic" spirits in my dream / nightmare. A precursor to my place in the afterlife??? Is this my communication with Jesus????
Ask God, our Blessed Mother, all the angels and saints, especially your guardian angel, to protect you. Listen to Fr Ripperger's talks on spiritual warfare. Never stop praying and trying to get closer to God. Praying for you.
Fr Ripperger’s talks are really awesome. Our dreams are a reflection of our emotions or fears. Sometimes it is possible for the demons to agitate us in our sleep. Sprinkle holy water on your bed and keep blessed objects or rosary next to your bed. If you still have them, it’s probably stemming from fears and anxiety in your life.
Yes our catholic schools are scared to tell the kids at school even though Mary took the children to hell life has changed so much in the catholic faith pray for priests now some of them do not have a Mass on Saturday morning we use to have adoration and confession then the priest would have benediction and he would go to our Lady statue and sing the Salve Regina now the new parish priest stopped all of this its so sad . Can you let me know the name of the book you spoke about.
Exactly. Teaching children in Catholic schools, how to love God with their minds and strength is probably the most ignored commandment. Most people don’t know what that means other than don’t worship another religion’s god. It means using the mind and pleasure zone in the brain that we get from entertainment, and use it as St Paul says, thinking if beautiful things, honorable, heavenly things, everyday taking time to think of Jesus’ Passion and His Love in a personal way. Telling kids how to be in the Présence of God. A lot depends on their ability to have healthy relationships, depending on what type of environment their home life is.
@@TinLizzy1 Wow. This is such true on so many on levels. Gonna save this comment.
Our catholic faith is often marred by all these visions and apparitions, some genuine some not. But Gospels is all we need to know Our Lord . In a University there many classes, there are class 101 by Peter, Paul, saints and visionaries and there are others, Moses...Jeremiah but in One Class XC is Our Lord, which one will your prefer? Oh!! to be in touch with our Lord, reading a passage or two daily, hearing his words in Gospels is so wonderous and you live Life fully, like Pope Benedict " there is nothing more beautiful in life than to be surprised by the Gospels.
Yes, our Lord talked about hell but also on this Good Friday as we commemorate His death, He paid for our sins, let no one undermine His death , He paid a ransom for us ordinary folks. For those who are step away from Hell unless they repent look no further, all those who are condemned by earthly Judges. Rapists, murderers , serial killers, thieves and those in high places who are engaged in genocide Hitler and recently in Ukraine, Russian President Vlad Putin and his Generals
Trying to be charitable here, just to make sure I’m getting this straight. Quoting from Catholic sources and from this video, a being appeared to some kids that appeared as “a Lady all in white, more brilliant than the sun” standing above a bush. And Ralph Martin says the being told the kids, “so many souls are going to hell because so few people are praying and offering sacrifices for them.” Just skimming through the comments here I see people are expressing that this isn’t sitting right with them.
I was hoping you would read Lucia’s personal account!
Not anywhere near enough of a description for US to be able to put our hands on a copy of the book!
Do you even remotely understand that you are NOT getting US there. How utterly disappointing!
Do Catholics have to Believe in Fatima!
No, it is not required, although many of us do.
Well it’s an approved apparition & Mary correctly predicted things like World War II, offensive fashions ( I would consider the bikini to be an offensive fashion because it’s disgusting it’s like you’re walking around in your underwear) And well if you just read the messages of Fatima you would want to be devoted to the messages and do prayer fasting & penance.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan those were written down though in 1947
What's the name of this book?
What the title of rhe book they are talking about?
Here’s a video describing what Sr. Lucia said about hell later in her life as a nun: ruclips.net/video/u-kxSm8cnLQ/видео.html
PRAYING FOR THE CONSECRATION OF RUSSIA TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY EXACTLY AS SHE ASKED IN 1917 WITH ALL THE BISHOPS AND THE POPE TOGETHER. EXPLICITLY.
Any hell of mere physical pain is not really worth fear, that's the killing of the body only, the real hell is existential.
Hell is like the really bad things we can think of that happen on earth. Oh wait . . .!! (did we just look at things around us and make it up?) Priests have been showing children a foreshadowing of hell for centuries.
This may come as a surprise, but Mary, mother of Jesus, was not in Fatima or any other earthly place. Scripture says very little about her after the crucifixtion. So it is safe to assume she died a normal, human death, possibly old age. She was not devine, or a perpetual virgin, nor many of the other fables the Catholic church wants us to believe. She found favor with God. End of story. Mary was human and in need of a savior just like everybody else. Throw your Catholic bibles away and read the regular KJV. The truth is out there. IF I could find it so can you.
My interpretation of Bishop Barron's statement that Christianity is the best way to heaven and that there are other ways is the same as Jesus' statements on the cross, 'this day you will be with Me in Paradise' where Jesus did not use the words 'repent to the dying thief', also Jesus' statement that 'those not against me are for me' which means that Jesus can as he transubstantiated bread and wine to his Person can use every single thought and matter to draw everything to Himself. Bishop Barron's optimistic statement is to me a form of humility to recognize that God is All Powerful. When opinions of Ralph and Mr Fradd are representative of the ARROGANCE OF SATAN. FOR SATAN REBELLED AGAINST GOD BECAUSE GOD EXERTED UTMOST EFFORT TO SAVE ALL MANKIND. Bishop Barron has the background to make interpretation of Vatican. Ralph Martin's way of speaking and Matt Fradd's way of speaking turn off the most interesting people that God would like to convert. I would rather think God can succeed in the worst sinner rather than have in me an anger that hinders the salvation of the least. This attitude of Ralph Martin and Matt Frad are the very image of a millstone tied around their necks. I am sure Bishop would be more pleasing to God who has faith on salvation of the least, rather than Ralph and Matt repeatedly stating doctrine and their understanding of it. SHAME ON YOU TWO AND THE LIKES OF YOU TOO IF YOU ARE WRONG FOR YOU HINDER THE ENTRY INTO HEAVEN BY THOSE WHO ARE LEAST. HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE MORE WORTHY TO CAUSE CONVERSION OF THESE LEAST MORE THAN BARRON WHO HAS STAKED THEIR SEX LIFE AND THEIR MINDS TO GOD. SATAN WAS A HERETIC BECAUSE HE WILL NOT SERVE GOD WHO WILL GO AFTER THE LEAST.
When we were born in to this world 🌍. Why weren't giving a hand book from god how to live our life the way God wants us to live.
Oh ! You must be what we call as a see'r a Ralph , Guess what , Do not be alarmed , that will be your resting place for eternity , not to worry you have already seen it , you will be right at home , how old are you now? Late sixties I'm guessing ? Not long to go , maybe ten , just think you are going home .
Click bait
In all probability, Mary is in Abraham's Bosom, not in heaven. If those in Fatima saw an apparition, it came from dark forces. The Bible never mentions Mary's death, never alludes to her having special powers.
What is does say is the only mediator and redeemer is Jesus Christ. Praying to Mary goes against scripture, as does praying to or for the dead. If it isn't in the bible, it's irrelevant.
This is false teaching, Mary is in heaven. Revelation 12:1
Why are ALL the visionaries that receive visions of hell never in agreement. No two have the same story. Why is that? I am serious, I would like a response. None of the stories agree. (Its also for visions of heaven. The church never supported any of those stories but no two of them are the same either. I think these people are just having a dream and believe they visited there)
In what way? Most of the Saints have described it very similarly. If you take a bunch of people and have them watch a horror show, they will describe it very closely but each differently on how that individual experienced seeing it. Some Saints such as St Bosco were given more visions and detail of Heaven and hell. So that’s why you may see some differences.
@@TinLizzy1 the differences are Night and Day !!! Are you kidding me,?
@@christiandpaul631 describe what you are referring to. I am not arguing. But there may be some things that are not correct if you are reading from the internet or You tube.There are plenty of sites claiming to be Catholic, and make up their own version. But as ALL Saints have said, it is truly impossible to describe the beauty and happiness of Heaven. And hell too terrifying for the mind to imagine. In the end that settles it. Both cannot be put perfectly in human terms.
Just be glad your not going there
There was no vision of hell. All he did was talk about a book.
Carry on buggering kids! Isn't that God's work!
God Almighty of the Old Testament is terrifying.

Look I just proved metaphysics;
2D shape-names vs.
3D shape-names for conceiving our 4th dimension (4D current physical reality/quaternion stereographic):
Earth 'is' a 4D "circle" (2D shape-name); a "Quaternion".
Earth 'is not' a 4D "sphere" (3D shape-name); a "Hypersphere".
2D = circle
3D = sphere
4D 'circle' = quaternion 👍
4D 'sphere' = hypersphere 👎 (lit. 5D)
Dimensional shape-names are causing confusion.

Filled with alcoholic spirit more likely.😂😂😂😂
