"Did my sisters write this." Had me cracking up.
Same here!
100% 😂
I attended a Catholic Church for the FIRST TIME this past Sunday and it was due to your videos. My husband, who is Agnostic - also watched your videos with me and he became interested in the Catholic faith. Thank you for helping us to get started on this journey. ❤
Woa!! So cool. How was your experience?
@@marylinramos4300 it was unlike any church I’d ever been too, but it felt right. My husband said it felt like the people who attended were truly there for the right reasons and he liked that no one was there trying to impress to be modern or lure people in with “cool” music and lights , etc. (We used to attend a mega-church from 2015-2017 before leaving because we lost faith in the whole thing.)
Our daughter (who just turned 11) complained at the service that she was bored and that the church seemed like a “cult” 😂 with everyone repeating the same things and actions. She hated the music and said she hated how we kept having to kneel and then stand, etc. But I expected that reaction from a child who didn’t really grow up in church.
That evening when we were putting her to bed, she broke down in tears and told us how she loved us so much it hurt and she said thank you for being such good parents. I’ve never witnessed her feeling so overcome with love that it brought her to tears…and it was truly out of nowhere, we were just kissing her goodnight as we always do. That spoke volumes to me about how church affected her heart that day.
We plan to go again this coming Sunday.
I recommend you find the nearest Traditional Latin Mass if you want to see real Catholicism. You have come into the Church in the midst of turmoil in an infiltrated and subverted Church.
@@amberjulia123 welcome!!! I highly recommend watching Fr Mike Schmitz videos. He is extraordinary. 🙏♥️🙏
I've heard kids say it feels cultish as a criticism before. If your daughter gets hung up on it, for the sake of clarity you can tell her that the thing that makes cults bad is that their leaders are never worthy of worship, but our leader is Jesus, and He *is* worthy of worship - infinitely so.
Hi Father, I was a Mormon but am seriously considering Catholicism. Have watched you for years ! Thanks so very much!
come home... to the church Christ started... we want you home!
I mean, I guess you could do worse?
Ex Mormon in Utah here, catholicism will give you peace
Hopefully you have joined us in the faith. Welcome to Catholicism.
I'm a Utahn. We have some amazing parishes. Stop by
I am an Othodox and even we have differences as churches, I have huge respect about your work and your videos. Greetings from Greece
As a Catholic, I would love to attend liturgy services of the Greek Orthodox Church because one before the liturgical service, Father perform the blessings of Bread and Wine, hymns in Orthodox way and the liturgical service. We maybe different but what's important is we respect one another and share our thoughts between two Churches.
as we respect you as well :)
@@fan.80s_90s amen! That might be quite a treat, give another angle of the same truth.
@@auntyfluffy it's all about respect and understanding. Even while I'm praying in private, I like to listen to some of the Orthodox hymns while I'm praying and meditating the Jesus prayer in my mind while I'm alone.
Me too.
Don't ever change Father Casey. We love you just the way you are!
Yes you migth also love your dog even though it poops everyday in your house…:)
Btw to clerify Dogs rule🫱🏻🫲🏿🗿
Hi father Casey, I am going to a Roman Catholic Seminary next year with 1 year at Valladolid, Spain as a discernment year. Then either in Oscott Birmingham seminary in England or a Seminary in Rome for 6 years. Your videos have helped me discern my calling, and you have shown me a lot of things in relation to the Priesthood that have been wonderful for me to watch as a viewer. Thank you.
I recommend you go to the SSPX Seminary in Kansas if you truly want to be a Catholic priest. Otherwise, you're just being led astray with the rest of the V2 flock.
@@Donnybrook10 booo this person left a genuine comment, shame my friend you are better than this
@@Donnybrook10 Dude, you are not an arbiter of what a person should and shouldn’t do. Keep your anti-vactican II comments to yourself. You are honestly in the minority here. It doesn’t make you part of the remnant either. What makes you part of the remnant is simply loving God and loving others. Condemning people, calling them children of perdition is not loving them. Discern my friend. Stop being hateful. God bless.
Why are you going to Spain and then England or Italy? I don't quite follow. Normally you apply for the seminary that's closest to you and stay there.
@@kevinrhatigan5656 Well I live in Nottinghamshire in England, and the closest seminary to me would be Oscott in Birmingham, however, there have been occasions where our Bishop has appointed various individual to go to Seminary in Rome for 6 years. - In response to your first question on the 1 year Spain discernment seminary experience, was not mandatory within the Roman Catholic Church to attend this 1 additional year in Valladolid Spain for a discernment period, but recently that got changed and seminarians where I am located have to go to Valladolid Spain for a yearly discernment period for the Church to determine whether they really have a calling to the Priesthood, in accordance to what I have been told. Applying for seminary in England is quite a difficult process, and includes you having to go through a 12-18 month period where you have regular meetings and additional attend masses to discuss your calling, and when the Bishop thinks you are ready he will give you a letter which you sign, and then you proceed to have an interview for the process to begin, which for me is March 2024. Thank you Kevin.
Hi Father Casey! I was Episcopalian when I first discovered your channel, although I had been thinking of becoming Catholic for some time. Your channel gave me the final push I needed to join RCIA. As a result, I was received at Easter Vigil in 2022. Thank you for all you do. It's truly making a difference.
Thanks be to God and praise God🙏😇
This gets me personally. I've been so drawn to respond to negative comments, although it's not always about me. I'm more triggered when people bully someone innocent and call it "just opinion". This internet culture has made people become hyper critical.
Catholic Twitter and Reddit is awful for anyone’s mental health. Thanks for being clear and honest about what you do!
Reddit Catholic destroyed my mental health
I had to talk to 3 different priest for guidance, and it removed my twisted view of Christ that was tainted by legalism and scrupulousity
Is there an online Catholic space you recommend?
@@pmoore512 not really lol, besides good RUclips channels!
Basically all social media, where people can state whatever they feel at the moment without any consequences, will degrade into negativity. Which of course puts other people into a defensive position, and pushes more negativity.
@@toddfraser3353 You are so right about that! It's so easy to make mean comments from the safety of anonymity.
It's one thing to disagree and have a different opinion, but it shouldn't be an excuse for insolence.
Peace and blessings!
"Maybe they haven't expressed themselves in the most charitable or intelligent way" I'm going to use this sentence whenever I'm having an argument with someone 😎
🤣🤔🤣
I don't think Fr Casey meant it as a weapon as you seem to?
I’m going to say this when (to myself) people use abusive language or when listening to ppl complain about others. ****!Not a hobby of mine, just impossible to entirely avoid.
I've been watching these videos since I was a deeply depressed, lost, and heavily medicated teenager; through to my adulthood. These videos have helped me come closer to God, and understand my catholic faith. Complementing and supporting the many other aids I have received by the grace of God. I can truthfully say that you've made a genuinely positive impact on my life, and my desire to grow closer to christ. And for that, I can only say thank you.
Congrats man glad you improved
@@Saintvanillagorilla.
As an older “out” Irish gay man living 21 years in the U.K. who is also a devout traditional Catholic and who has extended family in my native Republic of Ireland, I can relate and empathise - I do think that Fr. Casey’s videos have helped me to grow in my own faith journey and his advice in relation to bullying in this video is also spot on, given my own experiences of dealing with prejudice and discrimination from (within) the gay community
Fr. Casey I am a cradle Catholic and 65+ years old. I appreciate your videos and have viewed them for years. Please continue to bring them to us. God bless you!
I too have been watching Fr. Casey’s videos for years and I’ve always liked him ❤️
Haters make you famous. Fame brings the opportunity to reach more people. I appreciate you. And that’s coming from pre-Vat II traditionalist. May the light of the Almighty shine upon you, Father.
Father Casey your videos have helped me become stronger in my faith and I'm surprised there are people who don't have love you
Father Casey,
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
One of my favorite Bible verses. I am Eastern Orthodox, I often disagree with you, but I always respect what you are saying.
Christ Has Risen!
Fr. Casey, you are the best damned larper I’ve ever seen! You role-play so hard you do your best to actually live the life and tenants of your faith. Then you teach people how to role play like you? What a master!
My father taught us, "don't worry about what people say, worry if they don't say anything" You are doing a great job, I would say a holy job that people need to listen to and be heard. God bless you
Honestly I have not prayed for you father Casey so I would be lying if I say I have, but I'll do my best to include you, I just want to say thank you for your teachings, you and father Patrick have help and clarified a lot of my doubts, I'm young catholic teen seeking to live my live sustained by the hand of God, and this Chanel and the other one with Father Patrick have been helping me follow my path as a true Christian and make me laugh. Please know you and father Patrick are instruments that God sent to help people like us seeking the kingdom of our heavenly father, so may God be with you and bless you for the rest of your life.
O and I'm from Guatemala so congrats for reaching us over here.
I am not a Catholic. I don't even consider myself a Christian anymore. However, I have always loved Father Casey and his views on multiple topics.
I may not always agree, but I have never found what he says so bad it deserves an insult.
Hey my wife is Guatemalan 🎉
"Who are you Lord, and who am I?"
These words brought tears to my eyes....
Thanks for this essential video, and, keep up!
As someone who was raised a Catholic and schooled in an institution run by OFM Caps in the Philippines I appreciate your videos which help me maintain and grow my faith. Shake the dust off your feet and continue reaching out to people who are accepting. Thank you Fr. Casey.
Accepting and full of faith and love that is the Philippines and also Fr. Casey
As classily said by an unknown source: “Haters gonna hate.” Keep spreading The Gospel, Father Casey!
"but I'm just gonna shake shake shake,
I shake it off, I shake it off"
-T. Swizzle
Didn't he talk about how he dislikes this attitude in this video lol.
It’s true - in Ru Paul’s Drag Race they call this “throwing shade” but as Mama Ru Paul says “what other people think about me is none of my business” - this helps us to be able to see it as “water off a duck’s back” as Jinkkx Monsoon says
We love you Father Casey! God bless you for keeping us informed about the faith. I love your videos as well.
Hi Father Casey. I’m not even Catholic and I watch your channel. You both are very likeable !❤
Hi Father Casey, The church needs more priests like you! God Bless you and your ministry.
We already have many wonderful Priests and yes we need more as always so please pray for good sound Priests because Jesus needs them to do His work. He has told us to pray for more Harvesters. If we pray He will answer.
Heyo father Casey! I'm sorry people have been giving you grief. I appreciate your humility, your willingness to listen to feedback, and your blatant love for our Lord! Keep on keeping on, and don't forget that a lot of people do like what you're doing.
😊. 7😊
Salam sukacita untuk Romo Casey.
Selalu berkarya menginspirasi kami juga umat katolik dimana saja.
Senang melihat kreatifitas para imam Katolik. ❤🕯️❤️
Fr. Casey, you're seemingly appreciated among the Abrahamic languages too, right on!!!!
@@auntyfluffyI think that might be Indonesian actually
Fr Casey, you were my first contact with Catholicism at the start of this year. I was so impressed how rational and charitable you portrayed your informational videos. I think that I have watched every video you have published - and now I have enrolled into RCIA. So thank you, my life has changed because of you.
Thank you Fr. Casey, I'm going through a really rough period right now, and this video was exactly what I needed to see.
And thank you Father Casey for praying for my brother who learned that he has Tyroid cancer but God willing he will be ok. God bless
Genius!! 😅 When I saw the title I knew where it was going. Catholic Twitter is no joke 😬 😶 Blessings Father! Keep on keeping on 🙏🏼
For what its worth, i love your videos.
100%
Me too!
A great response (only done once) is "I'm sorry you feel that way. Thanks for watching."
Father Casey, your videos rekindled my love for theology and our church. Living in a secularised and polarised country like The Netherlands meant I only got in contact with a intolerant side of our community, instead of the open and loving side. You showed me that loving side. Thanks to you, I started to think more about theology and have developed a new fascination for our church. Thank you for your effort and inspiration.
Father Casey because of you and my faith in the God I see myself becoming part of the Catholic Church. God bless you and thank you.
Father Casey, your videos have helped me a protestant, understand what Im missing, and understand the RC position on things. I love your grounding in church history. I think I no longer know what I or anyone else is protesting against
If you feel called, please pray about coming home to Rome.
Just what I needed to hear. I would love to hear your take on spiritual/religious trauma and how to support those people who have left the faith because of it.
If you have haters, you are doing something correctly. 🙏 I love your advice here. Thank you.
Thank you, Father. This channel and Upon Friar Review helped open my heart to the Catholic faith. In one video in particular on On Friar Review, the two of you were talking about confession. Your sincere desire to see people make things right with God brought me to tears. I’m in RCIA class now and will be a full fledged Catholic next year. I’ve found a home and a family in my parish. So again, thank you!
Fr Casey, Your authenticity, words of truth - simple yet - profound - are a gift to many of us! Let us remember what the “perfect joy” is … (“la perfetta letizia) as our beloved St Francis taught us. Keep up the good work!
Pax et bonum
Fr. Casey, I've been watching your videos for over a year now, and I believe that God is doing amazing things through your videos. In terms of theology, I am a protestant, but whenever my faith has started to decline to the point of disbelief, I always find your videos to be of great comfort and to reignite my faith. This is my first ever RUclips comment, and I felt compelled to write it on this video so that you could know that there are plenty of people, Catholic and Protestant, who will support you. We may never meet in this life, but you have my support my brother in Christ. I pray that the Lord gives you Wisdom, Peace and Joy, and protects you from the arrows of the Enemy, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!
I don’t always agree Padre, but it’s important to have the conversation. Please keep up your videos I love conversation.
Father Casey your videos have not only nourished my faith and given me hours of entertainment, but also given me a new perspective on what it means to live the Gospel. Your videos have inspired me to have discussions with my friends and family about faith, and your channel has had a genuine impact on my life. At times I even imagine what it would be like to become a friar, and the thought of religious life would have never crossed my mind if it were not for your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable in these videos. As much as I have enjoyed your videos, unfortunately this is the very first time I'm commenting to thank you for them. I will try my best to do it more often, and I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you so much Father Casey.
I want to say that you videos have personally lead me to a life of more faith, and your videos are also a good resource I can use to talk to friends or family about topics I am not that well versed.
Father Casey you are loved❤ Teaching us how to turn a bad thing into a good thing. Keep making your videos. You are a wonderful teacher and are bringing young people back to the fold.
You will not know in this life how many people you have helped. But I am sure it is a large number, myself among them. Thank you Jesus for Fr Casey.
Thank you for your videos, Fr. Casey! As a convert who continues to grow in his faith and appreciate God’s love, I find your videos to be very helpful. God bless you!
Your work is inspirational thank you Fr. Casey. Best greetings and lots of love from Europe. God bless you.
As a dude your age who is going through a really tough season in life with health issues, I like to think I can accomplish some of the things you have when I get better and stronger. You and Friar Patrick (where is he btw?)are an inspiration and a comfort on my darkest days. Thanks man.
Greetings dear father. As Orthodox Christian I find your channel to be a breath of fresh air for not only the Roman Catholic Church but for the Christian faith as a whole. I wish we Orthodox had more priest using social media and RUclips the way you are.
Thank you, Father. I needed to hear this today.
Over the last 10 years my relationship with religion in general has gone from one of antagonism to one of appreciation and respect. You have been a part of that. Though I may not end up being a religious person, you've taught me much and have given me a lot to think on. That's something. That's something I view as a positive.
Awesome. Brilliant content. God bless you Father Casey.
Keep up the good eork Fr Casey. You're helping more people than you know , many of us silent but always grateful.
Terima Kasih atas Katekese nya Bapa! Salam dari Pulau Kalimantan!
“Pretty boy Franciscan” is my favorite, I just giggle at that one every time the haters throw that one out. I no longer read the comments as I’m one of the many that have benefited tremendously from your videos. I was going through RCIA when you started the channel, so you’ve been a father to me for years educating me in the Faith.
I've been telling my friends about you, even my brother who's also a Catholic priest, and he replied, "Yeah, of course, I know Father Cassey; he's very good."
Fr., you're extraordinary! God bless you.
Your work matters and what you do is appreciated by many. I am just one person but you saved me.
Great video. Amazing how people take things out of context.... or hear what they want to hear.
"He who has ears ought to hear." Matthew 11:15
Thank you, Father Casey!
Fr. Casey, your videos, among other positive influences, helped me grow and look within during this Lent. I went to Confession for the first time in 10 years. I pray the rosary more regularly, I pray in the morning when I wake up and when I go to bed. I attend mass every week or more as much as possible. I am thankful for what you share and I include you in my prayers for the priesthood and the consecrated life. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
Hi, Fr. Casey, I am from the Philippines. I am learning a lot from your videos. I am becoming more enthusiastic as a leader being head of the Commission on Evangelization in our Parish. You inspired me in my journey as Catholic growing in faith & love for the Lord. Keep up the good work in spreading Catechism- in Biblical & Liturgical and everything in between. God bless you!!
Father Casey I thank you for your videos and for what you’ve been doing. Your ordination video has inspired me a lot and I am currently discerning my vocation to the Society of Jesus. Praying for you. Please pray for me as well Father. God bless you
May God bless you and give you discernment
@@StAlphonsusHasAPosse thank you so much may God bless you as well!
If you don’t have people criticizing you, you aren’t doing something right.
People use to comment from their feelings, instead of using their brains. That's why you see so many nonsense. Personally, I love your videos Fr. Casey. Keep doing your best and may God bless 🙏
Hang in there, Father! I feel this way every semester when I read my college students' evaluations.
Father Casey, thanks for all you are doing, you are in my prayers always. God Bless You
All I can say Father is that I appreciate you.
“Wait. Did my sisters write this?” 😂 Love this. You’re one of RUclips’s best!
Good afternoon Father Casey, Thank you very much for your videos. They mean a lot and are thought provoking for where I am at in my human travels. I don't understand what provoked the meanness behind the tweets you received, but I hope their writers find true peace and realise how hurtful their words can be and change their way. Again thank you, and please keep making your great, funny, and heartfelt videos. You make a difference. Thank you.
You are a much better person than I could ever be in the face of those negative comments. I love your videos and, even as a much older person, I still learn so much from your messages. Please know that you have many more of us who strongly support you than the few who may find points to criticize. Please stay strong and continue your good work. May God continue to bless you. Sending love and support.
Hi Fr. Casey, following from Nigeria. The deep insights in your videos are a conviction of the workings of the Spirit in our time. This is evident, as it helps everyone connect and listen to Jesus journeying closely and speaking to us just about every concern in our modern times. I know it's a dangerous and sensitive venture... May our Lord continue to speak and work through you. I am a Carmelite. I must say, you inspired me as a student involved in publications and media works. Keep hoisting our Lord's standard ❤ Many thanks!
I am glad you are well grounded in this crazy web world.
Your message reaches beyond that is what important.
I sometimes specifically include you in my prayers otherwise you all good priests need our prayers constantly.
❤❤
In today's world, I needed this kind of advice. I am forced to sit back and really think through what I see and hear these days. This video is a reminder to not react so fast especially when hurt. Thank you, Father Casey.
I get comments like these often. It is the price of putting yourself out there unfortunately.
Thanks, Fr. Casey. Your videos help me a lot. As a layman and a teacher, I appreciate much what you do. May Our Holy Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt bless you!!
Hello father Casey thanks for this video, like many other videos I feel some times that the message you are giving us directly to a specific issue I'm going through and always leaves me feeling better, thank you so much God Bless You ❤️
Fr. Casey, my whole family really enjoys your videos. We think you are relatable, and your open honesty is very refreshing. My mormon friend even watches you for these reasons. We have learned so much! You are making a big difference in our lives. Thank you for this latest lesson on humility and humanity. God bless you and your mission!
GOD BLESS U FATHER
❤🎉keep spreading the love fr. Casey I am feeling the faith
I learn from your videos Fr Casey. Keep teaching about the faith. I'm listening. 🙏.
I'm a cradle catholic and I've learned a lot from your videos; you do fantastic work! I'm glad you're keeping the right focus and remaining humble - yours is a *very* dangerous job. Far too many "celebrity priests" end up having a big fall (Fr. Corapi, Fr. Pavone, etc); stay grounded and faithful. I'll be praying for you as well. Please keep up the good work! :)
Better than me at handling negativity. This is why I’m a subscriber!!! Such a great role model 👍👍
Love the last line so much, I will have to remind of that all the time.
Yes, whatever God says I am is who I am.
A person could be perfect, and they would still get hate comments.
Fr. Casey,
I have been very pleased with your videos. As a long-time convert, I continue to learn from your teachings.
Please listen to the comments of the many people who love you!
Thank you, Fr. Casey, for your love and efforts to preach the Good News of our Lord, Jesus to all of us! We can’t wait to watch your newest videos and the messages. Good Job! 👏👏👏Be sure of our prayers for you always. 😊😊😊
Father, your humility is edifying. 😊 Thank you for your authentic witness to the Catholic faith and your online evangelization ministry work. In regards to the responses you’ve received from other Catholic media folk commenting/pushing back on your statements of the faith, do you plan to engage with them in collaborative discussions on these topics? Would be a very fruitful thing to consider and opportunity to draw your audience into the nuances of the teachings you propose.
Fr. Casey, please be strong and continue giving us young people an inspiration to be better Catholics. ❤
I’m 75 years old and I find your videos insightful and and informative. The only thing I can’t agree with you on is your opinion of Fr Richard Rohr, whose teachings have impacted my life in a profound way. But you’re still young and your wisdom will increase with age! Since Bishop Barron faces similar criticism all the time, I’d say you’re in great company. Keep on going Fr Casey…you are doing very well! Oh, and I will remember to pray for you.
Do not despair! I am glad you are making these videos, and, even though I am 60 years old, I am glad to have a bit of a refresher on many topics about being Catholic you have been covering. And I love the popular culture stuff - including films, etc., that can be related (one way or another) to being Catholic is very eye-opening. And of course including Father Patric is WONDERFUL! I'm sure he has injected a bit of wisdom into your life, as he has, mine. And, I hope, he's gotten a few new ideas from you!
As we used to say, back in the Empire: fortis manere, vigilate
Stay strong.
My life is the classic story of a Catholic who left during highschool/college and now I'm in the process of coming back to the Church. Next weekend, I am attending my first Catholic Retreat put on by my Dioceses. Your videos were the first that I found on RUclips that answered my deep questions and now my feed is packed with The Catholic Talk Show, Father Mike Schmitz, Pints with Aquinas, and others. My Catholic cultural immersion started with you. Thank you! ❤
Dear Father Casey, I used to be a part of a Catholic Worker Movement associated with the Episcopal Church (St. Joseph's in Durham NC), where we would pray morning and evening prayer, and feed the homeless a nice breakfast in the parish hall every weekday (Mon-Fri). Most of my friends from that group either became Roman Catholic, or Anglican, some from Methodist backgrounds.
The group no longer exists, but we used to be called the Community of the Franciscan Way. We would even walk barefoot frequently.
We had a notable diversity of thought, with a Romanian Orthodox Parish using the upper room of the Parish Hall (It was a large upper room), St. Joe's itself being Episcopal, and the CFW having an interesting mix of Anglo-Catholic Magesterial Reformed Theology (basically Roman Catholic eventually) and Roman Catholic Franciscan Tradition.
Indeed, I was one of the only members who did not become Roman Catholic. However, I found myself not only agreeing with most of them, but even defending them against others who thought the CFW was a cult, with some of those accusations relating to their acceptance of Roman Catholicism.
I see it as a great disservice to Christianity for anyone to disregard the person in favor of a cheap insult. I may be more Anglo- than Roman-, but I love the tradition, even the Medieval tradition.
I want you to pray for me, for I see your strength against the gates of hell, and it inspires me to be a better Christian.
You are wonderful, Father Casey! Thanks for all you do. If we follow Jesus we need to act like him. It’s the only way. 🙏🙏🙏
I was so glad to find you all. I was able to share your videos with my hubby, a newer convert. He is now with the Lord after passing from an aggressive cancer. But you made a difference. Thank you. 7:35
Bless you, I’ll be praying for you. Loss of a spouse is hard. Know that you’re covered in prayer. God bless your husband as well. 🙏🌷☦️
@@hoakerhoaker thank you. It’s been tough since Easter (he died 11:45 pm on Holy Saturday), but I carry on, because there is no other choice. His legacy was his unwavering love of the Lord. I was his sponsor into the Church, and I teased him with his fire for God, as a new convert he made us cradle Catholics seem lame! Thank you again.
Thank you Fr. Casey. 53 years ago I “committed to Christ” or better said, confessed Jesus is my Lord. I didn’t know the Church and my Family would be upset by this.I wasn’t betraying the Church, I thought I was making a deeper commitment, and strongly considered a vocation. Eventually, I was tossed out of my family and the Church. I don’t know what I did or said wrong. Since then, I’ve mostly attended Protestant churches, although I sneak in to worship in the tradition of the Ancients occasionally. Once I was on a mission to NYC to work with the homeless, and when visiting St. Patrick’s, I realized we happened upon the start of an Advent Friday Mass. I left my friends and joined the worshippers, later having a wonderful and open discussion about The Real Presence.
Thank you Father for giving me hope for the Church.
The "enemy" is hard at work all over the world at the moment, and your work for the glory of God is not immune from "its" attacks, dear Fr Casey. This old lurker has been following you since you were a seminarian, and I pray for you every day. Your videos have been feeding and enhancing my faith, even though they may be intended to reach out to a younger generation. "The Lord bless you and keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace. The Lord bless you, dear fra Casey!" With love and prayers from an ofs since 1957. Pax et bonum.
I think your work goes well beyond the people who reach out to you.. in a very special way
Thank you for this message. In the past I often tried to change myself to become more acceptable to others. Now I seek only to follow Jesus.😊
Fr. Casey, you are helping people struggling with faith in today's world. May God bless you each day, and may people saying mean things find the peace inter hearts. They are obviously very sad and lost.
Fr. Cassey, you are very inspiring no matter what they said...I believe in the goodness of your heart. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you so much.
