God bless you, Father Mark! My dad used to tell my sisters and me that when we feel discouraged or confused, troubled, pray one Our Father and three Hail Mary's slowly and with intent. The Lord will come through and break whatever it is that's bothersome. His cousin, a priest, instructed him on that when he was quite young. That little "chaplet" carried him through WW II, marrying, starting a family, farming for 35 years, raising 6 children, and multiple cancers. Today, it carries me through challenges.

A really good idea ! When I struggle with a bad habit I turn to Matt. 26:41. Here it says that God knows that we are fragile. But there is also a promise that God can strengthen us through prayer.
Wow, that's a positive way of interpreting Jesus' admonishment of the disciples during his darkest hour. That verse shows his empathy toward their weakness. He said what they needed to hear at that moment and went back to praying. I'd never seen it that way before. I only saw Jesus' frustration. Thanks for the different perspective. 🙏🌹
Father, I like the term "micro-improvements." I want to see huge "macro-improvements" in my life and get discouraged when I can't see any. I'm reminded of St. Thérèse's Little Way. In our littleness, God lifts us up the towering staircase one step at a time. I still may be near the bottom, but I'm further than I was when I started. 🙏🌹
Loving all your practical advice Fr. Mark, virtue is habitual, Aristotle said as much I think, takes consistency and so I really like the star idea. I watched your 72 hour film too and appreciated your end of day reflection of how the day went, that if you let the small things slip the day doesn't go so well.
My book is still in my cart till I had the extra money to afford it. Just got a paycheck from my work with elections so I'm going to order it soon. Viva Cristo Rey 🎉❤🙏🏼😇
Good morning Father. Thanks for an uplifting video. You always join me in my morning tea after prayers. Your videos are a blessing to me, and I'm not even Catholic. Ave Father Thy will be done ❤🛐
Fr Mark, if you feel pathetic, you can imagine how some of us can feel, but that is His Light shining. I have yet to find time for this little booklet and stickers… thank you for your honest thoughts
I’m proud of you Father Goring wearing your Sacramental vestments bc it generates power representing Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself ,in itself you Evangelize to many souls who are in need of conversion to receive Mercy, Healing, Forgiveness and Humility……
❤️ABBA FATHER PRAYER "Abba, Father, I love You, You are my favorite! Lord Jesus, I Iove You, You are my favorite! Holy Spirit, I love You, You are my favorite! Most sweet and Holy Trinity, I adore You, You are my All!" ✝️ By Father Mark Goring, CC ✝️ ❤ Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen ✝️ Viva Cristo Rey ✝️
❤ Lord have mercy Christ have mercy Lord have mercy Christ hear us Christ graciously hear us God bless everyone who reads this, may the blood of Christ cover us all. ❤
John 3:16 is a verse that everyone knows without really believing it. Do you not have faith that God, by offering his Son on the cross, has not already had ''MERCY ON US''? (Rom. 1:17c; Habakkuk 2:4) THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. (1 Cor. 1:30) But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made >> UNTO US
@@mec325 it's a variation of a catholic chant/plea during mass. Yes, God gave up his son's life which was the ultimate act of mercy, however by praying this, you are acknowledging that God is in control of everything, as is His son, and that we still need His mercy and help in everything we do. It's a form of worship through acknowledgement of the Lord's Supreme power. We are nothing but dust without him. God bless you, and thanks for your input.
I use a notebook. No sparkly stars, just a tick next to my micro achievements! It also helps me use the cheap old fountain pen I restored (instead of just looking at it), and to practice my handwriting. Every morning begins: OOR/MP/Mass. If I do nothing else, at least I did that.
Great advice Fr. Mark Thank you! I needed to hear and do this! I spend so much time watching the news and RUclips videos on my phone also. It's an addiction. It holds me back very much, especially in the early mornings and time seems to go by faster as well while online. There are so many other more important things to be getting on with instead. I hope make improvements, write down any successes and add a ⭐️🙏❤️🕊
I don’t use the sparky stars notebook but I may start today after hearing you call yourself pathetic! That wouldn’t be the first thought I would have when thinking of you Father, it would be inspirational! Thank you for your encouraging reminders. I use a Daily to do list on my phone and I mark things everyday so that they repeat until I do them or put them into daily practice. It really helps me. I put down all the tasks I want to complete that day and if I don’t start doing them that day it reminds me until the guilt builds up so much I actually start the things that is most difficult for me! Today I looked nd I have completed over 12,200 tasks! lol this is over a few years mind you! My first task is Morning Prayers. Thank you and have a Blessed Day 🙏😊
Good afternoon Father Mark I have to be honest I do have the book and I have bought it for several other people that I know use it and I have not been faithful in using it everyday I promise you that I do use it though praise God for he is good thank you for sharing all of your blessings 🙌 🩵🩵🩵🩵🕊📖🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋
Perfect encouragement and message for me! I’ve been trying to do these but not a sparkly star notebook!! From one afternoon coffee drinker to another. I like the afternoon pause/reset time also.
❤❤❤ Thank you, Dog!!! Your comments are ALWAYS a great comfort to me! Your posts are a warm blanket on a cold New England day! It's not cold yet but I think I see something in the leaves! God bless you and Lara! Sending prayers and love to you both!!! 🙏❤🕊🍂🍁
@@mariapepper6175 Glad you liked it. Lara passed it on to me and I thought it was fitting since the good Father is pushing "sparkly stars" today...lol God bless you and your family Pepper 🌶 🙏 ❤️
You are such a refresching blooming flower!,......It seems there is nothing more difficult in life, then to keep our promises to God, to do our petty-full duties of dedication to Him,..,..The H. spirit said this morning; Israel needs moistering Grace to prevail against evil forces, and gave 1 peter 5;10,. His Grace is so beautifull! Bless you ft mark,.. ,..His glory is here,.
Thank you Fr. Mark, I needed this reminder! It’s so easy to reach for my phone and look at RUclips videos at every spare moment and I’m very guilty of this. I need to get back to using my sparkly star notebook again. God bless.🙏🏻🕊
I app appreciate your channel. As a 60+ year old former Catholic who stopped going to Church around a decade ago because of what was happening in the Vatican, I appreciate your approach to Catholicism. I doubt I will ever set foot in a church again, even though my faith is strong. Keep up the great work you are doing.
Please come back. Don't let the mistakes of men keep you from receiving Him . The Eucharist is truly Jesus. He delights in you and His Mother wants you back. I don't usually comment on these sites. But I am around your age and you and I have something in common from your email address. Please come back.
@Winterbiker333, Please come back to the Eucharist. The Eucharist IS Jesus. He is waiting for you! He loves and misses you. He isn't angry with you. Think of Peter's response to Peter's reply, "Where else would I go?" Jesus IS the Bread of Life and he so desperately wants to feed your soul in the Eucharist.
Thank you for this inspirational message. I never thought that making a little improvement in my life would make a difference; however, your message today opened up my eyes to new possibilities!
Father that’s a huge improvement I keep checking RUclips afraid I’ll miss something lol and it leaves me feeling down. Except of course you and other Catholic faith videos!
Funny, my father made a chart for my brothers and I like that so we would brush our teeth...he would display the chart in the bathroom and we hot a gold sparkling star every time we brushed our theeth. Just had to share.
Fr Mark…I was watching your videos on being prepared for any unfortunate experiences that may come our way….when I prayed to God..the Holy Spirit said to me…” you have all you need”….so I’m thinking God wants me to rely on him..instead of collecting stuff for an emergency…what do you think?
If that's what the Holy Spirit tells you, then he meant it. Perhaps He wants to prevent you becoming an obsessed doomsday prepper spending money you don't have on supplies you won't need! That said, as a retired disaster recovery coordinator, I'd encourage prudence. It's wise for everyone to have about month's supply of nonperishable food & water in case of an extended power outage or natural disaster or the next plandemic. 🙏🌹
I like the idea Fr. Mark but sparkly stars? I've always thought of you as a rugged, outdoorsy manly man. Can we get a notebook that uses ribeye steak stickers or maybe pints of beer? 🍺 🍺 🍺 😂
I’m trying to keep with certain disciplines for “St. Michael’s Lent” and recently fell off and am feeling very discouraged. This is exactly what I needed to see. It’s motivated me to pick myself back up. Thank you Fr. Mark!
Father, there are scammers targetting your channel in the comment section. Please remove their comments as youtube does nothing when they are reported!
Amen, Dear Fr. Mark! Chastity 👩🏼🦱🌸💕 uses an app on her phone for her to do list and checks things off daily, which I think is great! 😊👏 I need to use your Sparkly Star ⭐️ notebook… I procrastinate too much. Thanks! Viva Cristo Rey! 😊⭐️❤️📿🙏💙💒
Excessive News/RUclips really does sow sloth, (I heard that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg only allowed their children 1hr/day of online recreation time). I'm reminded of how a habit pattern forms from doing something continually for 3 weeks, (maybe that's why God made Sunday a day of prayer and fasting)

You're father was wise to listen to that advise, and to implement it. As are you!
I’d add a “Glory be...” too 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're so funny, Father - such a "man's man"... and then you go and talk about your Sparkly Star Notebook like a schoolboy! 🤣😍
Great small accomplishments do matter to better oneself thank you 🙏🏻
Improvements are good to track how we progress!🙏

Oh FR Mark I just love your honesty....I am sure that Our Lord Jesus smiles when He beholds you in the Palm of His Hand!😂
I like my coffee in the afternoon also…my energy is drained a bit by then. I will try to remember what a gift it is and thank God for his love!
We love you Fr. Goring!
