Please pray for all of our men who are running from a vocation.... including many of our sons who are disgusted with the evil in the Church. The vocations are out there. May we send in reinforcements for them! 🙏✝️🙏
I’m publishing a weekly RUclips video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him Thank you.
That war is called overthinking. I handle this by handling a situation only when it arises, I try to focus on the immediate moment. It requires discipline.. But it must be done
I have a special love as a to be God willing consecrated lay soul to tbe Francis way of living.. I cry 😢 as I watched this video because I could not understand what was happening to me bombarded fiercfully and deceitful ly with thoughts.. it happened when I helped save 2 souls from lots of trouble too. Now I understand. Im in a state of gratitude for God and for the priest who uttered these consoling and teaching words. I owe you lots of prayer priest and May St John Vianny on his feast day protect you and keep you in His light.
I used to think those evil thoughts were somewhere inside me. I'd confess them. I see now they're temptations, so when they come up, I say NO! Because if I don't block it (close the gate) my thinking goes downhill fast! In a nutshell, I guess it's keeping fixed on God no matter what's happening outside. It's a daunting practice. I'll pray for you, pray for me! I'm also secular Franciscan 20+ years. I could have used this years ago.
@@dianarivers1885 I will Diana. All of us could have done things much better before which is a good sign because we now finally understand what it is all about. All we can do is thank the Lord and the priest for this enlightment. Now we look forward to try to do it better while at the same time remain close to Jesus and Mary.
I’d be interested in doing a podcast on the documentary with you, if you like that idea of course. Just email me steve@sensusfidelium.us there’s another lecture that used the documentary in great detail
I looked into becoming a Third Order Franciscan a few years ago here in AZ. All they talked about was the environment. I didn’t pursue it because I was looking for something like this…I wasn’t interested in being an environmentalist. It’s too bad we don’t have awesome Franciscans like this in my area. Thankfully I can listen to these videos. ❤️🙏✝️
Teach your little ones: when the bad guys are in charge the good guys go to jail. When the good guys are in charge the bad guys go to jail. In the end God is the judge and all the bad guys go where they belong.
This is an amazing channel, and this talk is great. If we don’t recognize the enemy or the battle we’re in, we’re doomed to fail. Thank you Fr. for explaining the spiritual battle and explain the tactics. May God Bless you and protect you.
This was phenomenal. True Catholic Zeal. Needed to hear this and some of these homilies/sermons are literally God himself speaking to us through these men, these honorable priests.
I asked God to help me see the spiritual world for what it is (like help the scales fall off my eyes) and, I kid you not, I had the most freak fall off my bed the next day as if I was thrown off it by an unseen force. I then realized that my Guardian Angel protects me from stuff like this on a regular basis but I just can’t see it. It was very humbling AND scary to be honest.
Our secular Franciscan order returned to tradition and left the Pope Paul VI V2 SFO and became Tertiaries of the Third Order of St Francis 2 years ago, we use the rule that was promulgated by Pope Leo XIII, what a blessing. The spiritual war was just heating up then and is all out war now on all fronts🗡🗡🙏
You went back to the Leonine Rule? I know of two groups who went back and modified the original Rule. May I ask what country you are in and how you live your Rule? I am an OFS, but love all my Third Order brothers and sisters; I think we are richer for knowing each other!
Thank you Fr for this educational help and support .I could listen and relate to it all .We all need more of this and especially when living alone in the secular world .There are so many more videos to be made from this talk .Contemplative Prayer ,Finding God in Silence ,Recollection , Curiosity and imagination, The Will,and so much more .I'm hoping there will be more of this .🙏
True! When you get old you’re ignored. But try to offer this to Christ. He was ignored by his family except Mary and Joseph. I’m one who has virtually no access to the sacraments or Mass. I don’t attend any Novus Order masses or confesss to modernist priests.
Be so peaceful with Gods most Holy will that no matter how annoying or conniving that ancient serpent gets, you simple do not care, your eyes and heart are set to that Blessed Holy Trinity always and the Heaven we get to have is found by our faith which remains our constant joy through all life’s trials turning our sadness, disappointments and every hardship into a Joy that will one day be realized when we enter into that eternal abode of endless Happiness that no eye has seen, no ear heard, nor thoughts of mankind been able to comprehend or fathom the endless Joy for all those who choose to Love God in this life. Choose love in every circumstance. Light the way for others. Gods voice is the silent sound we hear when we let go of all attachments and allow God to work in us by his immeasurable loving ways. Be nothing so that the Uncreated God of all creation can be everything in you. God bless all
I asked Holy Spirit how to keep satan from sneaking into my "garden" (imagination) - how to close the "garden gate". Holy Spirit told me that if i closed the "gate" on satan, id also close the "gate" on Holy Spirit from coming in to play/talk with me. Our "gate"/heart must remain open, while praying for protection/deliverance, and praying Rosary, daily, to create my garden into a rosarium to/for Mary. And this is where recollection comes into play - gate/heart open but disciplined mind/thoughts. Intellects reason can be so sluggish, but intellects imagination takes flight on a dime. This is what St. Ignatius of Loyolas spiritual exercises try to teach us/Ignatian spirituality.
I also wish if there is a talk on recollection..what does it mean etc.. and the way to get the mind in a state always ready for contemplation.. is the Jesus prayer one of those tools? What tools maybe used to calm the mind..? I also find that walks in nature do it for me, funny also driving a motorcycle which I no longer have.. Sitting in my apt silently does not always guarantee that the third level war will not take place.. it is when i am alone in my apt that these wars have been waged..
Free will, according to St. Anselm, is preservation of volitional rectitude- virtue- for its own sake. That is, keeping vice from entering therein by never choosing Happiness over Justice.
If your in the Elite stage of battle, and still using 10 decades Rosary beads know that you need to up to a 100 century for each mystery. Men Arise from your sleep.
Living in Europe, Berlin, Germany. Just returned to Catholicism and Christ in general from a very long detour. I crave for a message like this. I crave for the serving of our Lord and I crave for this masculine honor that I feel when listening. Where do I find orders like this in my surroundings? Is this typical Franciscan? Or is Dominican also like this? Hope anyone has a suggestion for me here. Thank you Marian Friars Minor.
15:00 could be simply stated as harmonious co-resonance, which is a constant attribute of love ~ one cannot co-exist without co-resonance ~ hence one cannot be in the presence of God without His grace Some people find it difficult to embrace anthropomorphized descriptions of such dynamics ~ it sounds like a "harsh being" to some.. I was under this impression until recent developments...
I mean. Bob Dylan is a prolific songwriter ~ music is like breathing to him, why shouldn't he sing if that's his life purpose? Like, "he's gonna die if he doesn't," can mean that life will stop being pleasant and meaningful, because he has betrayed his natural impulses?... It's not necessarily an occult contract? I am personally not sure if I should take his response literally and/or seriously. Hyperbole and sarcasm are often an artist's (more especially a writer's) resort and relief... (p.s. I'm a fan of his writing, not singing 😅 but it's okay I'm glad he shared what he had)
26:00 notes 😁💙 1st: luxury and hedonism 2nd: pride of life: attachment to riches, honor, fame. "service to self" 3rd: not recollected, dark night of the soul
I realize our spiritual growth is by the power of the Holy Spirit and not entirely an attainment of knowledge but; my study of your video would be enhanced by the outline you used (if you used one) during your presentation. Could you post it. It will help my spiritual translation and internalization. May God be ever praised! Thank you for all your efforts.
Here is all I had for the notes: Spiritual Combat (Thoughts start wars if the gates are not closed) Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes: He fought many battles, (against the sons of men) and took the strong holds of all (that is the virtues), and slew the kings of the earth:(Adam and Eve) And he went through even to the ends of the earth (Original Sin), and took the spoils of many nations (grace and son-ship with God): and the earth was quiet before him (mortal sin, habitual sin, vice). And he gathered a power, and a very strong army (of those who fallen into sin to and are not willing to be released from it ): and his heart was exalted and lifted up (because in their filth of sin they become more wicked then the devil). And he subdued countries of nations (all the pagan people who worshiped the devil), and princes: and they became tributaries to him (workers of his wickedness and revelers in sin, demons in the flesh). 1Macha: 1:1-10 • Remember Goliath: the might warrior who is trained from his youth for battle. • And it said that the Philistines went out from the camps in “three companies to plunder”. (1King 13:17) • Significance of the three companies: for as temples of the Holy Ghost they war against us in strategy against Almighty God Three and One. ◦ First company: Luxury --- comfort, ease, enjoyment, preference; here they seek to defeat you in your base desires, sleep, play, food, anything impure. These St. Bernard says effect every rank of people; ◦ Second company (the reserves) many of a more noble idea of things will not fall for these base things of the flesh, so now they come at you with Pride: riches, honor, fame, favor, acknowledgment, to be needed, applauded etc.. ▪ the first seem so dirty, these seem like good things, they belong to those we hold up in society as the great ones. Pride puffs up, turns our thought and actions to our own glorification rather than that of God, gives us a false sense of yourself, but we all want it but they those who take it FALL. ◦ Third company (elite, to finish the joy); If you have made it through the last two the elite fighting force then comes to insure your total lose and destruction. Remember this Goliath, the devil, is a trained warrior from his youth: And YOU??? ▪ The first two dear with the physical things, the flesh and the world, the third is the devil and the demons, the spiritual world. ▪ This is the most “ferocious and cunning, being the demons themselves who have come to battle men by thrusting into their imaginations a whole throng of spiritual vices, ▪ “He sent against them the heat of indignation, anger and fury, and tribulation, a multitude of agents of misfortune; he opens a way for his anger and he did not save them from death.” Ps. 77:49-50 St. Paul: “Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power. Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God (virtue, prayer, grace, our guardian angles), that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: [12] "In the high places": or heavenly places. That is to say, in the air, the lowest of the celestial regions; in which God permits these wicked spirits or fallen angels to wander. [16] In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: (Ephesians 6: 10-18)” ------------------ And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company: For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven. (1Macha 3:18-19)
I've listened to this many times. As a catholic ....I feel the world is easier for me to avoid......the flesh is the main battle that has lessened but from time to time is there.
It all begin there people first think dumb things , and then they do dumb things. Not related to ones iq, talent, or proficiency and success in a field.
Gosh Bob Dylan had a Christian conversion and sang about Christ and recorded a couple of Christian albums and had a song “You’re gonna have to serve somebody.., well it may be the devil or it may be the Lord but you’re gonna have to serve somebody.” I sure hope his “boss” is God, but he doesn’t do the Christian songs anymore I don’t think.
Well... whatever it is it serves to drive the point across. Though he didn't directly frame Bob Dylan for the sin. It stroke me as an example of how worldly people make these pacts to achieve fame and money. And after they've done them they do not know what to do even if they repent, so they keep working (And hopefully what they work on isn't inherently sinful).
@@jeffenglishsetter8339 Warhammer 40k is a fictional Universe (comparable to Star Wars). The "Imperium of Man" in said Universe is kind of a parody of the Catholic Church -- high-testosterone mega space inquisitors.
He did apologize for his sermon being a little scattered. I felt the same too, but maybe perhaps this is an opportunity to practice virtue of patience. At the very least
Listening to the Franciscan priest and war and dealing with life . Thanksgiving fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤
I have listened to this sermon upwards of 11 times. And still listening.
Please pray for all of our men who are running from a vocation.... including many of our sons who are disgusted with the evil in the Church. The vocations are out there. May we send in reinforcements for them!

Hi there, where is AZ?
Thanks, Steve! I would LOVE more reflections from this priest! 🙏👍
Me too
Sin is rejection of virtue in favor of vice. Free will is rectitude retention. St. Anselm. Underrated thinker
pray pray the ROSARY do not stop walk whit JESUS i love you lord bless my brother and sisters amen from AUSTRALIA
Teach your little ones: when the bad guys are in charge the good guys go to jail. When the good guys are in charge the bad guys go to jail. In the end God is the judge and all the bad guys go where they belong.
Excellent! This is the state of the world.
Have mercy on us O Lord!
Save us!

That Is hella scary! You're right!
This is an amazing channel, and this talk is great. If we don’t recognize the enemy or the battle we’re in, we’re doomed to fail. Thank you Fr. for explaining the spiritual battle and explain the tactics. May God Bless you and protect you.
Great reflection! 👌🌟
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this education about spiritual foundation.
In the end her immaculate heart will triumph! Avé Maria! God Wins! 💯💪🏽🙏🏽📿

Another way to describe this beautiful talk is to have a solid ‘Faith and Trust’ in God.
You sound great 👍

Are there no traditional Mass centres near you?
God says don't judge or worry about the priest he puts in front of you. Just know God works through that priest.
wow amazing !!!!
For help with worldliness read Kempis Imitation of Christ. Another underrated Catholic thinker
I learned SO MUCH!
Thank you for the audio.This was very good.
Please do this talk and make it more applicable to teens/preteens! It is such a great talk. Thank you!

Poverty of one thought. Take every thought captive.

What tools maybe used to calm the mind..? I also find that walks in nature do it for me, funny also driving a motorcycle which I no longer have..
Sitting in my apt silently does not always guarantee that the third level war will not take place.. it is when i am alone in my apt that these wars have been waged..
We are being hit at night while we sleep with remote weapons to weaken us. You can feel the vibration.
Very true it's constant
11:40, just keeping this here for me.
Free will, according to St. Anselm, is preservation of volitional rectitude- virtue- for its own sake. That is, keeping vice from entering therein by never choosing Happiness over Justice.

Spiritual Combat (Thoughts start wars if the gates are not closed)
Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes: He fought many battles, (against the sons of men) and took the strong holds of all (that is the virtues), and slew the kings of the earth:(Adam and Eve) And he went through even to the ends of the earth (Original Sin), and took the spoils of many nations (grace and son-ship with God): and the earth was quiet before him (mortal sin, habitual sin, vice). And he gathered a power, and a very strong army (of those who fallen into sin to and are not willing to be released from it ): and his heart was exalted and lifted up (because in their filth of sin they become more wicked then the devil). And he subdued countries of nations (all the pagan people who worshiped the devil), and princes: and they became tributaries to him (workers of his wickedness and revelers in sin, demons in the flesh). 1Macha: 1:1-10
• Remember Goliath: the might warrior who is trained from his youth for battle.
• And it said that the Philistines went out from the camps in “three companies to plunder”. (1King 13:17)
• Significance of the three companies: for as temples of the Holy Ghost they war against us in strategy against Almighty God Three and One.
◦ First company: Luxury --- comfort, ease, enjoyment, preference; here they seek to defeat you in your base desires, sleep, play, food, anything impure. These St. Bernard says effect every rank of people;
◦ Second company (the reserves) many of a more noble idea of things will not fall for these base things of the flesh, so now they come at you with Pride: riches, honor, fame, favor, acknowledgment, to be needed, applauded etc..
▪ the first seem so dirty, these seem like good things, they belong to those we hold up in society as the great ones. Pride puffs up, turns our thought and actions to our own glorification rather than that of God, gives us a false sense of yourself, but we all want it but they those who take it FALL.
◦ Third company (elite, to finish the joy); If you have made it through the last two the elite fighting force then comes to insure your total lose and destruction. Remember this Goliath, the devil, is a trained warrior from his youth: And YOU???
▪ The first two dear with the physical things, the flesh and the world, the third is the devil and the demons, the spiritual world.

It stroke me as an example of how worldly people make these pacts to achieve fame and money. And after they've done them they do not know what to do even if they repent, so they keep working (And hopefully what they work on isn't inherently sinful).
Unfortunately he sold his soul
Who is he quoting at 42 mins? Francis Dayasuna. Who is that?
The banging in the background is very distracting.
Yeah, but the Carmelites made it close to perfect.
Who is speaking? His voice sounds familiar
Do good anyways 🙂
Who is speaking here?
You guys really need to work on the titles of your videos. This one sounds like something from Warhammer 40k.

What is this war hammer you are referencing?
@@jeffenglishsetter8339 Warhammer 40k is a fictional Universe (comparable to Star Wars). The "Imperium of Man" in said Universe is kind of a parody of the Catholic Church -- high-testosterone mega space inquisitors.
Would there be Christianity without the Cross. Grace💝🙏💌
I get what he saying but he needs to be more prepared he’s kind of all over the place
That or you’re simply easily distracted.
He did apologize for his sermon being a little scattered. I felt the same too, but maybe perhaps this is an opportunity to practice virtue of patience. At the very least
ape has tried its best 😢 So. Tired...
