Matthew 11:28-30. In summary, "Take up your cross and follow me. For my yoke is easy and my burden light." This changed my life. I will never forget the moment when I contemplated this and was moved to tears.
@@CenterPorchNP then have said episode reviewed on Upon Friar Review.....LOL, coming home to the Catholic Church I must say, I didn't see the humor I do now, I love the Joy I always find here!
"I am the way the Truth and life...." "Unless you eat my body and drink and drink my blood, you have no life in you." "What you do unto these..the least of mine..you also do unto Me." These 3 brought me home!
Mt 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
One Sunday while interpreting Mass into American Sign Language (ASL) I heard the deacon read, "I will prepare a place for you, come back and take you to Myself, so that where I am you may also be". Now, when I'm interpreting I sign what I just heard while listening to what is being said. There is no time to meditate! Yet, in that moment un-mistakenly, I felt God's Presence. It was if He was saying , "I mean YOU." Although deeply moved, I managed somehow to keep going without faltering. Later, I bought a Celtic locket to put the verse in. I have it on now.
I have been watching your show here and there. I think it's great. I am a Catholic, but there is so much I don't know about my own religion and the Bible. Thanks for enlightening me.
If any of you have done the BIAY, go to episode 259, and it is all about the Gospel of Matthew. It will give some extra to the portion of this show about anxiety. This episode (as always) is great! Father Rich and the Ryans did a great job expanding on that portion of the Gospel, but it was good to go listen to the whole section in Matthew 6. I love it when it all comes together.
A thought on "I thirst": In the Agony in the Garden, Jesus prays that the "cup" of his Passion might pass from him. Then, at the moment of its fulfillment, he asks willingly for that bitter drink. I think this summarizes a perfect obedience to the will of the Father and the salvific work taking place.
I was blessed to be able to attend the Mass of Thanksgiving tonight with Bishop Erik Pohlmeier at Sacred Heart Jax! It was AWESOME!! You could feel the power of God. The atmosphere was just ELECTRIC! So Cool!
Starting in A.D. 638 Islamic Arab armies rode out of Arabia and quickly conquered by brutal military force the Judeo-Christian Holyland and then North Africa. Egypt had been Christian for hundreds of years prior to being conquered and its Coptic Christian population subjugated. The Crusades valiantly fought to retake the Holyland. I could go on but I hope you get the point.
Totally off the topic .. but I have a question and I know I will get a good response from you’s. Until 4/5 years. I was a cradle Catholic.. but no more I have truly deepen my faith and always have so many questions.. so here goes ..is there a way to find out who is my Guardian Angel??🤷🏼♀️
John 14:1-8. Specifically John 14:2-3. “ In my Fathers house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also will be.” 2Timothy 4:7 “I have completed well; I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” I have prayed these verses with people are nearing the end of their earthly life and it brings them comfort.
John 15:9 "As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love." This one blows my mind. That the love that exists between the Father and the Son is the same degree of love with which Jesus extends to us has to be one of the most self-image/identity altering things that Jesus tells us. Unbelievably empowering but also humbling.
My favorite saying of Jesus is Matthew 25:21 Well done good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with small things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your Master. I pray that I will be worthy to hear this from My Lord, Jesus when I draw my last breath.
It's always meant something special to me, and there's been a lot of mind blowing providence at times, and hearing His voice in the journey of life and in Revelation as He navigates and reasons with us into all truth .. .. So the verses in John talking about sheep hearing His voice ...
Beautiful show! So profound the words of our Lord, and none of us could comprehend in our humanness the depth and meaning behind all He said and did, and yet 2,000 later He is still the Great I AM. Blessings to you "Golden Guys'.
The words of Jesus on the Cross "I thirst". You should read Scott Hahn's book : The Fourth Cup: Unveiling the Mystery of the Last Supper and the Cross. Dr. Hahn interprets Jesus stating "I thirst" so he is given a "4th Passover cup" to drink which will complete the Passover meal and seal the "New Covenant". Jesus and the Apostles left the upper room and their Passover celebration before they drank from the 4th and final Passover cup, which was done in memorial of the original Passover and would have completed the dinner. It is very interesting to learn about all that occurs during a 1st century Passover meal and one thing that took place was drinking of 4 different cups of wine that all had different meanings. The 4th and final Passover cup completed the meal and was skipped by Jesus in the upper room, something the Apostles would have definitely noticed and wondered about... Hence, not until Jesus has completed his passion on the Cross and ready to go the Father, is the New Covenant complete, thus he now calls for the 4th cup. So "I thirst" is much more than Jesus telling those around him that he was thirsty.
Hi, you left out my favorite: "I will be with you always, until the end of the age". It's the one thing that gets me through everything. You are so right when you say that limiting it to 10 is ridiculous!
Picture it....Catholic talk show....20222.....the nerve of joking about the the Golden Girls....may the ghost of Sophia hit you with a Sicilian curse. And may you always hear St Olaf stories.
The quote about losing your soul reminds me of a quote from Crime and Punishment: "Your greatest sin is you have destroyed and sold yourself for nothing."
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. When I pray before the Crucifix. I look up at the Crucifix and say, You forgave them. That He gave his Mother as our Mother, means so much. Our first Saint, that gives us such hope. Ask for forgiveness.
Thank you for picking and highlighting some spiritual golden nuggets amongst others. It’s like picking 10 cherries from a plate and tasting them to validate what is actually left to be also consumed later. All the words of Christ are precious golden nuggets ever there to give us eternal life.
I'm surprised Father Rich did not open with "Picture this" on seeing Ryan's shirt! Incidentally, they sit in a semicircle around a table like the Girls. Also, Our Lord's response to the Pharisees discussed in 19:28 is precisely why I reject alleged healers and holy men and women who hang around only with the elite. It's painfully common here to see a priest corrupted by worldliness: they entertain only rich donors, and savour the high life with them instead of ministering to the poor and unchurched. A rich parish here once had some snobby families send their maids ahead of Sunday Mass to reserve them whole pews by the altar. The parish banned that entitled, ludicrous practise only after other congregants complained. So uncomfortable hearing Mass there because they can be loose with the rubrics and the parishioners are a generally condescending bunch. A skewed representation of the Church that should welcome all regardless of their station in life. Same goes for a specific group here that supposedly Operates for the Divine, as they only invite the socially successful, intelligent, and rich. No servants or middle-class folk allowed into what has become a religious country club. I thus agree with our traditional belief that when the Lord genuinely makes miracles through chosen people, He withdraws such gifts when the person turns to a love of money and self-glorification. Perfect example was this late priest who loved tennis, and would fly overseas to watch matches. Ironically, he fell dead during a game without receiving Last Rites.
Catechism 603 also teaches that when Jesus said "why have you forsaken me" he was speaking from our perspective not his. It was his way to become one with us. Rather powerful stuff.
You've talked about Halloween and Day of the Dead. The fact that there has been traditional history on this holiday does not make it right or non pagan. It may be dangerous when gothic history is influenced by giving it a right of passage because of some melancholic traditions. Don't let evil deceive by seeing it as cute or good. Please guide me. Thanks and, may the Holy Spirit guide you and me.
That isn't the meaning of "turn the other cheek" entirely. We know from other historical sources that the phrase was common in the ancient Middle East. There is a level of mercy involved with it, but turning the cheek was a dare for someone to do it again. This is because it was believed that the only way to hit the other cheek would be to backhand someone...which was viewed as being effeminate. So it wasn't "be a door mat" it's "give a bit of mercy to re-think their anger before you have to take matters into your own hands" which is still a great lesson. It teaches patience.
The Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood... and I am there, lift a stone... and you will find me.
My favorite is Matthew 14:31 oh you of little faith why do you doubt that one changed my life I came across it when I was at the tipping point on my skepticism and it gave me the final push to believe and in moments of doubt it reminds me of everything he’s done for me and all the proof there is for him
Matthew 14:27 At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid”. When times are tough, I think of this quote, and remind myself to have courage because God’s got this.
Trying to designate which of the Golden Girls each one of you represents, almost had me laughing too hard to hear what else was being said on the show! It takes a real man to wear that shirt!
In not to worry that God has your back. God gave me the graces to be pretty good about this one I ain't perfect mind you but I fond myself worrying about stuff a lot less then others. One song to help you out with this and I kid you not is. " Don't Worry be Happy" for if you're in a sour puss mood you actually have to work at not putting a smile on your face amd singing along to this song. It's secular yes but the message is spot on.
Matthew 11:28-30. In summary, "Take up your cross and follow me. For my yoke is easy and my burden light." This changed my life. I will never forget the moment when I contemplated this and was moved to tears.
You need to invite Father Mike Schmidt sometime soon. Love to see you all together for a episode.
Omg yes.
So Fr. Pagano and Fr. Mike can be compared in person?
@@CenterPorchNP compared? No. They’re both super amazing priests and both easily relate to a lot of different types of people.
@@abil4127 not what I meant. They rag him so bad now about Fr Mike. Having them there would create a super laughable episode.
@@CenterPorchNP then have said episode reviewed on Upon Friar Review.....LOL, coming home to the Catholic Church I must say, I didn't see the humor I do now, I love the Joy I always find here!

Through The Blood 🩸 Of JESUS On The Cross Is The Only Way To Salvation‼️💯✝️🛐✨
My favorite 3 musketeers!!!! Love this show. It’s my Monday routine
The gates will not prevail against our church.
The gates of Hell, I meant
Strive for the kingdom of God! Jesus wants us to have complete trust, love, and faith in God. God will always provide.
I have been watching your show here and there. I think it's great. I am a Catholic, but there is so much I don't know about my own religion and the Bible. Thanks for enlightening me.
Could you not spend one hour with me?
Hey Guys! Ask For Mark Goring to your show! He is filled w/the Spirit!
Do not be afraid I go before you always. Truly comforting 🙏

“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” (Matt 16:24)
John 14:1-8. Specifically John 14:2-3. “ In my Fathers house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also will be.”
2Timothy 4:7

The Douay Rheims is the best translation in my opinion. I believe there’s a certain authority and power in the older English.

I'm wondering how "turn the other cheek" reconcile with religious orders who work for social justice.
Matthew 14:27 At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid”. When times are tough, I think of this quote, and remind myself to have courage because God’s got this.
My favorite is actually a few lines after that when Jesus pulls Peter out of the water and says why did you doubt
