@@gretchenboyle481 I’m not entirely sure you understood what I wrote. I enjoy his videos so much that I don’t even have to think twice whether I should click or not. Hence, I’m a simple man, I see Father Pine and I click.
How I love listening to fr. pine but I always end up with google translate because of his rich vocabulary or maybe my lack of it lol, but I’ll never stop listening to him.
I was very blessed to receive the eucharistic from Fr. Pine's hands at St. Dominic's in Washington DC. When I saw him celebrate the mass, I was like "I'm sure I've seen him on pints with aquinas"...
Thank you Fr. Pine. I've been away from the church 25+ years and after attending a TLM with my son and his wife, have started my way back to the church. I was a convert all those years ago (having married a Catholic man), but never really understood a lot of the teachings. Now I'm praying the Rosary, doing Cardinal Burke's Novena, and trying to learn as much as I can. I appreciate this video because I'm not sure if I'm making progress or not. There are days I feel His presence, and day's I feel like I'm drifting alone and only hearing the echo of my prayers.
“We can only be in this place and not in that place.” Looks like Father Gregory Pine does not watch Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World… 😁 On a serious note, providence has brought this video to me at this time. I’ve been trying in every way the Church provides for us to grow closer to God (prayer, the sacraments, etc), but I haven’t felt like I’ve actually become stronger spiritually 😔
This is both encouraging and so confusing at the same time, life is so confusing. Catholicism also seems rather complex sometimes I mean do you need a PhD to become Holy? I find that I have no idea most of the time whether I'm getting holier or worse or just stagnant despite regular Mass, Confession etc I actually find it difficult to differentiate myself from the every man in fact most of the time I think I'm worse. I have never had an experience of 'arriving' or 'not arriving' am I missing something? I have also run marathons at a decent level, yet I fail to see the analogy. I found that being increasingly fitter made the training runs easier as opposed to being beginner unfit and it being an absolute slog. The older I get, the more confused I seem to become, despite learning about and striving to practice the faith. Is it important or crucial even that one is 'aware of' becoming 'holier' and how does one even begin to know it? isn't it sinful to consider oneself as 'holy'? I know I may be confusing the two things here. Perhaps more videos on this topic are necessary as holiness is our ultimate goal correct? Maybe I've missed something or I just need a majorly dumbed down version of this very dense distillation of the topic. Thanks!
@@myfakinusername from what I understood, the more you suffer (willingly accepting it I assume), the holier you become..except.. everyone suffers, christian and non christian alike.
@evelynkerubo7398 Yep, there are no coincidences. When I saw your comment I got goosebumps because that book (still wrapped up) was just by my side, I ordered it from Blackwells library (I'm in Europe)... So so weird...Then again, when you're with God everything is possible. Stay well my sister (I've just noticed you're a lady 😁)
Clearly not getting holier. Just now I HISSED at a disabled man who wanted my seat on Bus (I'm elderly and can barely walk) even though there's plenty of seats adjacent. Bus driver made me give him my seat. I did, but I hissed. I have Cats. Hissing comes naturally. Kindness doesn't.
I’m a simple man. I see a Father Pine video, I click.
Same.
Oh a father pine vid just dropped? lemme just SMASH this watch button rq
I love to listen to him. I’m sorry they don’t appeal to you. I hope you find other fruits of the Spirit.

These videos with Fr. Pine are an excellent part of Pints.
However, they should definitely call these segments Pines with Aquinas.
Father Pine is my second spiritual director, even though he doesn’t know it.
My Holiness levels peak in the Morning, right after a Cup of Coffee.
mine when i close my eyes at night and finally cease to sin.
I pay even more attention to what Fr. Pine says now that he has wise looking beard
Hearing him say: “upsy downsyness” and “we aren’t just beings but doings”
These videos are so timely, atleast in my life. Thank you, Father.
Happy Father's day, Fr. Gregory! Thank you for sharing your fatherly heart with us!
Upsie-downsies, indeed.
Thanks, Father Pine for validation.

Ditto 😅
This has to be Fr. Pine’s finest!

Thanks Father, this is a great complement to the Holy Spirit retreat!
This was very timely for me. Thank you.

If anyone has a topic they want Fr. Pine to talk about, comment below and I'll get it to him.
Why should we listen to child abusers and their supporters on matters of morality?

Yeah I think he's way overcomplicating this topic...
@evelynkerubo7398 I'll look it up thx, this video kind of deviated from the above which sounds clearer.

@evelynkerubo7398 Damn man this must be a sign. I ordered that book few days ago and it just came an hour ago at my doorstep 😯

We don’t have a gratiameter so we don’t grow in pride 🤷🏿♂️?
Why does your facial hair grow so strong? Did you will it.
Seriously where is Christ, he is by himself on the Cross. Nothing to do with what Greg is talking about
Happy Father’s Day!
It’s Father Pine. Please be respectful.
A limited view
The interior castle is real it would be nice if you could try to experience affective prayer.
This is just horrible. Everything is up to me and my ability.
Your ability to cling to God.
interesting how Satan had the same idea before the fall
