This channel has been helping change my life. I finally decided recently to offer up my life to God. The good, the bad & everything in between. Thank you.
Thank you for journeying with us😀
See the writing of Lusia Piccarreta. The book: The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Is a good place to start.
That was so cute with your daughter! There is so much sadness, depression, anxiety, despair etc in the world. Why? It’s vomplex but the main culprit is we are taught by society, school, TV, music that we should be our own person, take control over things, stand out in the crowd, buy this buy that, get rich, make your own path. In other words become your own god. This is disastrous and the solution is so simple. Follow Jesus and you will be at peace and joyful despite suffering because He will give you the Grace you need through Mom.
“Where theres a will there is a way.” This should be changed to “where there is God’s Will there is THE WAY.”
The beginning was adorable! I feel like your little one took getting put in "time OUT" to whole new level!!
Thank you! Thank you! So good to see the children! My how they grow! Just beautiful! 💜🙏🏻💜
I pray every day now, Thy will be done! I have a simple prayer that I ask Jesus to come into my mind, my eyes, my ears, my mouth and my heart and that in each one of these places Gods will be done that day! I say it in the Morning! Thanks for your message
Pray the rosary.
I have to agree, I'm glad your simple Prayer brings you peace, yet it's profound in its simplicity. I too would encourage you to pray the Rosary, this will bring you incredible peace. The Prayers are said like a mantra while you contemplate the mystery you are praying. God bless you 🙏
What stood out to me was when you talked about people close to us “sleeping” when we needed their support, leaving us feeling alone. It immediately made me think of the people in my life and helped me understand Jesus’s sorrow.
I felt the same. It was very powerful and I shall carry it with me, especially when I pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary
Be with me, O, Jesus🙏🙏🙏 Amen
Ken and Janelle your Children are just Beautiful I was happy to see them today Thank you for sharing your Life with us All God bless you 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🍀💙💜🌺💝❤️🌹💐🙏🏻✝️
Obedience- free will- trust and surrender! Give Jesus our “yes!”
Thank you for this talk today (and for all the work y'all do!) I often come back to this scripture: "and he went away sad because he had many things." Which is immediately followed by, in my mind: "you cannot serve two masters...you cannot serve both God and mammon." Venerable Fulton Sheen said: "Grace isn't cheap." and thank God for that. Even though we know that Grace builds on nature, it can still be so painful to shed the skins of our past, and to look into the mirror of ourselves and with honesty and see the truth. Finding those things we hold on to dearly and giving them to God, no matter how it make us suffer, is a hopeful thing.
I am seeking to obey God in all things on a daily basis.❤❤❤❤Jesus, I love you I trust in you, I thank you, I need you, I praise you and I strive to be obedient in every way.❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Ken what stood out is the obedience to his father and mother and St Joseph, very hard to give up control of everything thank you 🙏
Today's meditation was probably the most striking to me so far. Just the whole thing about giving your will for it to become God's will. Wow, this is what I have struggled with a lot and feel God is trying to soften me to.
The Surrender Novena
Thank you Ken & Jannel your channel is a blessing. God bless your whole family.
Greetings from Japan
Jesus' presence has helped me to let go of material possessions, but I'm really struggling to let go of my 'past life'; the family I used to have. I'm grateful that He's patiently leading me, because it's taking quite a while to let go of them, and look forward instead of back. By the way, your hair in this video is perfect for Pentecost! God bless you
I never picked up on the idea that the young man didn't want to be obedient to God. Thank you very much for doing this series.
Lord not my will but your will be done 🙏
Dear Jesus, I surrender everything today to you today! Do as You Will.
I surely do not understand what is the meaning of this response but I surely know that You shall never forsake me as I hope to be obedient to Your Will. No ifs and buts!
Ken, I just saw this. What struck me was how Jesus, the Lord of Lord's, King of Kings submitted to Mary & Joseph for 30 years! The hidden life has always been mysterious to me. And why 30 years & not 20? So many days on earth. What did those hidden years accomplish? But I'll bet His love for His parents & neighbors was intensely joyful. Think of being a neighbor to the Holy Family! Wow! The kids that played w Jesus! Wow! Just rambling, but WOW! TY for your gentle, profound, fun & happy ministry. I LOVE the frustrations & difficulties. I grew up w 8 siblings. We weren't perfect but we were & still are tight! I only had one. Soooo lonesome. I call one & 2 children a "sample family!" May God bless you one & all!
🙏🙏🙏. Thank you
Adorable opening! Well done young lady.
As a discern my call to religious life I know that God wants me to be joyful, where I can be myself without measure, and love without restraint… and ultimately my "yes" belongs to him . I can't begin to imagine what my life is going to look like. Whether I find myself in my brokenness and ignorance with enough wisdom to stay faithful to our Catholic tradition and the magisteriums teachings when I hear the clergy misrepresent what we have always believed is another story.
O My this is What Jesus asks of us every moment of our life's to do the Will of our Heavenly Father. Surrender everything to Jesus. Our Lady of Sorrows Pray for us.
God bless you Ken 🙏
She did a great job!! Love the beginning of this video. 👏🏻
Excellent, Ken!! Ty!!!❤
Jesus, I love You.
BLESSING SPEACH GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you and God bless you 🙏🏼
Amen...amen!

Hi, Ken! You certainly got my attention this morning by the title of your posting - "Sad man!" I was concerned that something had happened to you or your family! Just shows what the mind can bring up - and it turns out to be nothing. Anyhow, I am glad you are happy in your new place in the countryside. It looks great. Indeed the story you shared, I can relate to. I am at that time in my life that I am retired and not able to follow big plans for the future. However, I have been sick, and not able to do too much for a couple of days, I was so frustrated, I wanted to make a good confession before Easter - the time was tomorrow, and I obviously can't go now. This has been really bothering me, but now I realize that the sickness might be all part of God's will and I shouldn't worry about it. I can go later - there are still a couple of weeks till Easter! Thank you for putting this into perspective for me.
Keep the good work! God bless you!
It seems like every video connects to me! I love the into and I examine myself and fine times when I have come short.
Need Confession but it's not easy to do.
Hehe so cute, I think that was Jennifer.
God bless.
Today needed a sign qnd this was itnl....Thank u Jesus
Great
Great words, thanks. I pray Charles de Foucault's abandonment prayer every night when I'm in bed. May Father's will be the root of our happiness.
I'm not familiar with the pray you mentioned. I will look for it. Thanks
Amen

🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful message, thank you ❤🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for listening
I have been immensely enjoying this Lenten series. Please remind us of the title of the book you are using, I would like to purchase it for further contemplation.
to me and why: if the choices we make are for the betterment of others, we can be assured we are choosing for HIM, but, if it is selfish, if it is for revenge of any kind, if it is wrapped in ego or tangled with manipulation, we have traded our day for the God of the world.
brother, the rich young man was not asked to merely 'detach' from his wealth but to actually give it all to the poor. yes, all catholics are called to do that as you can read in the catechism also. but, as you mentioned, it is different for each vocation, yet families should live a minimalistic life too in my opinion ✌
anyone interested to dive deeper into that topic can read 'who is the rich man that shall be saved' by clement of alexandria
It is an assumption that the rich young man said "no". He went away sad for he had many things. It takes greater faith to give up so much. I like to think he said "yes", and went away sad to carry out the difficult task. Whom among us would react any differently.
I always wonder about this scripture. Because I own a home, a car and have food, I am considered rich in this world. The rich are the last to enter Heaven? What do we do? Sell our home and give the money away? What do we do?
Sorry for many posts. I type as I am listening. :)

What does letting go of our own will look like?
who is Father Gabriel?
My candidate for the Rich Young Man is - Saul of Tarsus.
interesting...
no, I want to disagree. the gospels were written down around 70AD and Paul's conversion was maybe 34, so the apostles who wrote the gospels knew Paul and would've mentioned him by name. Also I never heard of this theory, so I don't think so, sorry 🙏
Doing the will of the Father, just as Jesus did the will of the Father, that's what we all need to do. It was hard for me to understand what his will was at first. Please please pray for an increase of Sacramental Marriages and restoration of families. Marriages are in trouble some broken. Mine was broken but now healing. 23 years for us
The will for me was to stay in my marriage and to witness to my husband the mercy and love of Jesus. We are covalidated but I want him to be a Catholic.
Even tho Mary and Joseph knew Jesus is God, they still humbled themselves to follow the rites and customs of their Faith. They never said they didn’t have to do these things because God favored them above all other people. I continue to realize the humility of Jesus,and Mary anf
Didn’t finish before I messed up ….. and Joseph.
Hi Ken, i recently found your channel. I am 29 years old I am very firm that I am going to do God's work. I recently lost my job. I am going to attend sisters camp. But, i have around 2 lakh rupee as a loan. Haven't done anything for my parents. If i leave to religious life, asking my parents to pay my loan, is it right?
No, the Bible is very clear that you are to pay your debts before charity, and to honor your mother and father. Running away from your loan and putting it on your parents is breaking the commandments, and a religious order isn’t likely to accept you under those circumstances. All honest work is Gods work.
It’s not easy to be a follower. I think it’s what puts many people off about Catholics or being Catholics. In their eyes, the church teaches the only way to heaven is through suffering. Everything is suffering. It’s not easy to explain and quite frankly it’s not easy to live by. It’s difficult to explain joy to people when they only think we suffer. I don’t believe that as Catholics we can’t have joy or fun.
