Thank you Dr. Pitre for the thorough explanation. You not only explain difficult concepts well, but you do so in a way that maintained my interest.
wow! I'm so glad I subscribed. This is a wonderful explanation of what the church is teaching today and a great way to prepare for mass. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful, as always.
Great explanation Dr.Brant Pitre, thank you so much! God bless you always.
Fantastic as always! Thank you! Amen!
The woman and her 7 sons in the Book of Maccabees2 could be considered as Martyred Saints for refusing to compromise their faith.
They are saints and their names are known in the Eastern Church. Their Feast day is August 1. Their names are Abim, Antonin, Gurius, Eliazar, Evseon, Alim, and Marcell. Their mother is Salmonia.
such amazing connections .. it makes so much sense, thank you so much for sharing these profound insights
Excellent talk
Yes indeed great explanations , from the Scriptures, thanks and God bless Amen 🙏
Thank you🥺
Thank you for the insight. We all hope for perfect union, loss of carnal desire, in the world to come.
Thank you Dr Brant
Dr. Pitre, thank you so much for these explanations. They are truly eye opening. Thank you and may God bless you.
Just a question, how are we to explain the immortality of the soul to denominations that do not profess/understand it? The Seventh Day Adventists come to mind with this question. I appreciate any help, thank you
Jesus did that to the Pharisees when he spoke that God is a "God of the living" Matthew 22:32-34, Mk 12:27, Lk 20:38
@@liraco_mx Uuuu, this is good. Thanks
Well I never knew that. Thx
Thank you so much Dr. Brant Pitre . I have learnt a lot from you. Please I want to know why the church is against one taking over the wife of his deceased brother
The single life is amazing.
my name is exalted above all names, Jesus Christ is the next name and all grace and glory and all good things.
Priests and nuns who practice celibacy are already living out the lives that they would be in Heaven.
I accept that in the next world we will all have perfect Union. No problem for me. What is a mystery for me is Jesus calls Mary his mother and God the father His Father even today when he speaks to mortals on earth. So I can’t imagine my children not thinking of me as their mother or me not acknowledging my husband who brought me so much closer to God. I gave my life on this earth for these people and for the glory of God. I don’t need to mother or have an earthly marriage with the man (husband) who made me a seeker of Jesus but I want that reunion and knowledge of how they helped me in this world. I can’t image not being a mother or the once spouse of my husband. Relationships are instrumental in attaining Heaven and my gratitude would seem to be eternal. So don’t call it Marriage, okay but God put these souls in my life for reasons to attain Union with all souls and God. I’m okay that for me this is another mystery, but it seems since Mary continues to teach us how to please her son that I will call my son a son of mine. Hope you can muddle though my poorly explained thoughts. To think otherwise would to me seem utterly pointless that I married or had children.
According to my understanding of this particular teaching, it seems that you of course will remember your family and the memories and the relationships you all had in your passing through mortal life, and they in turn will also remember and be aware of all that.
The thing is that some of the notions that you currently posses about your relation to your husband and children is based on your experience as a finite, mortal, sinful being. The roles that you and your family (and everyone of us, really) hold and play out are shaped by this fallen world we currently live in. In haven and the world to come all of this imperfect, sinful factors will be no more. So what I think Dr. Pitre is point toward when he is referring to a perfect communion with Christ through which there will be a perfect communion with everyone else, is that although you will have awareness of the relationships you forged in your last life, the connection, closeness, love and care that you felt back then will be seem meaningless to the amount of love you will feel-not only to the people you originally met in your mortal life and have now reunited with in eternal life, but to absolutely every soul that is now sharing alongside you the everlasting bliss and glory of the Lord.
So, if I'm not wrong, you will remember them and they will remember you, but what you once felt for them and them for you will be but a snippet of a fraction of what you will experience together with your fellow children of God in the kingdom to come.
Couldn’t have explained it better than the first comment. I would also add that, if you think about the “hypothetical possibility” emphasis on hypothetical; think about if some of your children were damned or your husband. You would be separated from them for eternity and there would be no union with them whatsoever. So you should rejoice in the fact that in Heaven you would be perfectly united to them. Even though you wouldn’t share the same relationship as you currently do here on earth. If the were to be damned you wouldn’t have that relationship with them any way and it would be over forever. But in Heaven that relationship would be elevated and perfected.
Greetings in Christ,
Thanks for your lucid explanations. However the worrying factor here is the subscription fee, which concerns many apparent from the comments for this video.
Hope you could strive to give all your productions free with Google Adsense model , thus both you and the faithful could be benefitted or through a donation model. May Jesus bless your noble effort to propagate the good news without any financial constraints. God bless you .
Dear Dr Pitre. Surely Jésus, Mary and Joseph still are the holy family un heaven and St Theresa 's mother and father mr and mrs Martin are canonised as spouses so my hubby Pierrot Will still be my dear husband on the other side in paradise
🎤
Wait is not the story from Tobias?
I have yet to watch this video. Will do so later but reading the video title I just want to say .."I hope not. Haha. But really, I hope I'm not wrong in feeling that way but its about being with God and Jesus for me. And my loved ones (which can include a husband for some) but maybe it will be a different love with those people. Idk Interested to hear him though.

The video and audio are not in sync and the video ends abruptly. Please fix.
Hi Angela, I am sorry you are experiencing difficulties watching the video. Sometimes this is due to internet speed of where you are at so maybe try at a different location or a different device, as I unfortunately cannot duplicate the problems you are having on my end. The video and audio are synced on my end and there is no abrupt ending on my side. Hopefully trying on a different device and/or at a different location with a faster streaming speed will address it. Thank you.
Catholic Productions Thank you! I think it was my connection...thank you for the videos :).
What about knowing your parents and children in heaven?
but his tongue got cut off?? how come he still can speak?
Does this mean that if one does not purchase the $99 subscription, one will no longer be able to view these videos?
Yes, that is correct. Due to the time involved with each video, we had to either cease producing the videos or create a subscription model. I am hopeful that at the current rate of right at $1.90 per video, it will be seen as a great value and it continues our ability to keep making them. So we definitely see it as a win/win. Thank you very much for your support in advance.
+Catholic Productions will there be an option to pay per individual video?
There may be a scenario where we will do a quarterly pro-ration, but it won't be an exact pro-ration. The best price/rate for the time one will have access to the videos/transcripts/mp3's, etc. would be to do it as early on in the year as possible (with the discounted rate right now being at $99). The regular price will be $125 starting in a couple of weeks or less. So, to answer your question directly, there are no plans to do a pay per individual video option at this time, but there *may* be something similar to a pro-rated amount (though it would be more expensive rate wise than to have simply subscribed from the beginning of the year) on a quarterly basis moving forward once we hit quarters 2, 3, and 4 of the liturgical year.
so when we get our bodies back with our souls, do we have the senses ? and what do we think about our genders ?
ruclips.net/video/UWktcW5iR6M/видео.html
To put it simply, everything will be perfected when we get our bodies back, our bodies will be glorified, our senses, intelligence, everything, just like how we were supposed to be before the fall of Adam and Eve. But even more so because we will be in Heaven. There will be no confusion about gender whatsoever. We will behold God forever who is truth itself.
🤔If procreation is necessitated by death, why then did our first parents get the mandate to make a family, multiply and fill the earth even before they sinned and obviously before death entered our age?
Ref (Gen 1: 22 and 2:28)
@Martin Patrick I am a Catholic. Since the Church has no definitive stance on the interpretation, I am just curious about know how far this can be stretched.
I have always pondered over these passages and Im more convinced of the position that, Physical death is an inevitable part of our existence in time and space. Spiritual death which is the eternal seperation of our souls is what we inherited due to sin. So obviously Adam and even didnt fall dead physically but spiritually got divorced from God. Our blessed Mother, who never sinned, also finished the physical life here (slept/died) and got assumed.
Ones there is aging and babies dont remain toddlers, we have to exit this space anyway.. but sin prevented us from being assumed at the end of life here. There is more i think about this.. but cant share it all in the comments… Peace🙏🏾
In Luke 20:36 Jesus states one of the reasons for no more marrying is because the saved resurrected can’t die anymore but will be like the angels in heaven. The contrast to angels is not sexual desire, He contrasted mortality with immortality. Marry meant the male proposing for the woman to be his wife and being given in marriage meant the father giving her to the proposer. It’s customs to be married, not marriage itself. Adam and Eve were married without marrying or being given in marriage. The reason for the Sadducee's question was that the levirate law required a woman to marry the next oldest brother of her husband if he died without children. They thought if the woman hadn’t fulfilled the purpose of that law, she would still need to be married to all the brothers or they’d be sinning. If she did that, she and the men would commit polygamy which is also a sin, so to avoid sin, God wouldn’t resurrect everyone forever. They thought all of God's laws would be needed in a renewed world, not knowing that the reason for recreating is to restore creation to before those laws were needed. Keeping marriage does not contradict Jesus’s answer to the Sadducees because the woman they asked about is only required to marry any of those men with the levirate law. The law ending does not forbid her from being married to a different man. It's a false dilemma. Jesus’s mention of not being able to die would make no sense unless he only meant legal customs to marry because death is not a reason for marriage. It says in Revelation 20:6 that those who are awakened in the first resurrection won’t suffer for eternity. These are the same people in the prophecy in Isaiah 65:17-25. If Jesus said that those worthy to attain the age of the resurrection won’t marry or be given in marriage and are also said to continue being married and reproducing, that’s proof that Jesus only meant legal marriage customs will be gone. Would any of the people who heard Jesus answer been amazed at it if he meant sexuality would be eliminated? I’m pretty sure Jews had as much sexual desire as most other people, so would have despaired if that was the context.
At the beginning of creation, God said for us to be fruitful and multiply with no indication it was to ever stop. There would need to be a bigger earth to fit all physical beings that have ever lived by the time of the resurrection. God expands the entire universe. doing the same to any planet shouldn't conflict with his plans. Marriage was the only thing God said is not good to be without before creating it. After Eve was made and brought to Adam, it says for this reason shall people be united with a spouse to become one flesh. Jesus repeats this in Matthew 19:4-5 and Mark 10:6-7 and Paul does in Ephesians 5:31. “For this reason” means it’s the only reason. Reproduction and representing God’s relationship are not reasons stated anywhere in scripture. If gender remains, so does marriage. If Jesus’s answer meant no one will be married, then it contradicts us being male and female being the reason for marriage, and God's promise to restore all creation in Acts 3:21 and 24:15, 2 Peter 3:13, Romans 8:20-23 and 32 and other prophecies. After God made marriage, He called everything very good. The beginning conditions of the creation don't need improving because God doesn’t change.
Many Christians have claimed that something unspecified would be needed to make life better forever and would also make sexuality useless, ignoring the fact that marriage was something needed for creation to not be missing anything good. It's contradictory and more akin to Buddhism than Christianity. If having something better is a reason to eliminate sex, it's a reason to eliminate everything God made, and we should all just feel God's presence, getting joy from that and never doing anything else for eternity. If simply having a sinless relationship with God makes marriage useless, then God would have had no reason to create gender and sex, because God had the kind of relationship with Adam and Eve that people will have with Him in the renewed creation. If God eliminated sexuality then the distinguishing shapes of the gender's faces, body shapes for sexual attraction, parts used for sexual pleasure, and reproduction would all be wasted. Gender having other functions is no reason to get rid of any of them. They're all part of what makes us the genders we are and God doesn’t create anything expendable. The human female figure is shaped the way it is to fit babies during birth, and sperm, egg cells, and wombs are used only for reproduction.
If Jesus’s answer to the Sadducees meant no one will be married anymore, no one can be married to Jesus as a replacement. God is described as a husband to people in Hosea 2:7, Isaiah 45:5, Jeremiah 31:32, Ezekiel 16:8, and other Old Testament texts. That didn’t replace marriage either, because they’re analogies just as the wife of the lamb is in Revelation. They are different types of relationships that fulfill different desires. If marriage is a representation of Jesus’s relationship with the church, then people would have to have sinned so Jesus would have to redeem us. God is not going to create something that requires what He hates.
If you are made unable to care about something you're passionate about, it's manipulation of free will. Sin is a selfish way to try satisfying a desire, that makes us less satisfied afterward. Removing sin doesn’t manipulate free will. That's not the same as removing a basic desire for any sensation. They think that since they don’t think of the joy that would be gone from losing that passion for eternity, that wanting to keep something God said wasn't good to be without is the problem. They're so obsessed simply with being eternally satisfied that they don't know it's only hopeful because it's by restoration of all God made, not a replacement for any of it. That would make anything God made for us irrelevant. There's a book all about the joy of sexuality: Song of Songs, and doesn’t imply that marriage is useless without reproduction. There’s no bible book devoted to the joy of any other creation. Heaven isn’t the final destination, it’s the renewed earth. The only thing that needs to be gone is what sin did.
How about God offering each man a new Eden and a most appropriate Eve with (somehow) no possibility for sin?
@@JJ-nn8kr That seems like what the bible says, just with Eden conditions being less personalized.
Wonderful talk. One question on my mind after listening....Will there be sex in the life of the world to come. I am assuming the answer is no, but I wanted to hear your feedback on this.
God says on the new earth they shall increase there numbers lol
If you watch the video again he clearly states that there will be no reproduction in Heaven and the resurrection. Just as Christ said to the sadducees. We will be equal to the angels and will be sons of God. There will be no death so there won’t be a need for procreation.
@@TechCody113there will be no sex, no procreation, no reproduction in Heaven and the world to come. Period, let it go. The Muslims believe that, but not Christians. Jesus never taught nor did He ever promise that to us. It’s quite useless anyway, it only serves a purpose on earth.
i'm a student, and I don't have 100 dolars to give you, but I would still want to watch your videos. Do you think you can do something for me?
Same problem here. I really love these videos but can't afford it. :(
Vlad and Ashwith, thanks for your comments. I understand and at this point in time we have reduced the subscription price to less than we actually thought it should have been. For the amount of time that will be invested in the 52 videos, we simply could not go lower than $1.90/video (at the current $99 rate). It simply wouldn't be viable for us to continue the project in light of our family responsibilities if we set the subscription lower for the 52 videos. I appreciate your understanding but hopefully, maybe you and a friend can go in together and watch the video together(?). Just something I throw out there for consideration. Thank you for your support!
Thank you for your response, I do understand the constraints from your side. I unfortunately can't subscribe now (I don't know anyone else nearby who is interested in this, we're a minority). However it won't be long before I graduate so I will subscribe for them then!
PS: I do hope your RUclips channel will continue with at least some videos on Catholicism, even if it isn't these mass readings ones.

Considering this particular verse is the un-acknowledged ‘stumbling block’ for all non Catholics from accepting (even at this information and globalization age) the Gospel of eternal life entrusted to the Holy Catholic Church, I wish to express a few thoughts to encourage them into using the Way offered to us, rather than believing in any of their pet “speculative theologies” (be it protestantism, paganism, islamism, atheism, naturalism etc).
You first seek God, then you will know the omnipotence and love of God to mankind. After all, God is the only reality and everything we enjoyed here is His gift, then how much more he bestow on us in the heaven (new world) for His victorious people? Even in the the worst case scenario, we can simply ask Him whatever we desire by prayers as He is our father! Rest assured ‘even if’ there is no marital joy, the joy of the heaven must be such that we may never even know that we missed something.
So all non Catholics, first make sure you are on the way to attain eternal life.
Protestants: can you now imagine the awkwardness of all of us living in marital bliss while Jesus remain as a bachelor ( simply because of no ‘eligible’ spouse) in your scheme of second coming?
Cant see any disagreement between Christians on this,evidently, from the same bible you and I read we discover that heavenly relationships are entirely different from earthly ones,Paul reinforced this,a shame that you had to pick up the stick marked protestantism to beat me with (pet theologies).Jesus is all.
Well, you could have a pick axe marked Grumpy like in Once Upon A Time for all the nitpicking between theologians. I do like St John Chrysostom and St Cyprian quoted in the video because I seem to have been getting inklings from them in my writing without actually reading a word of Cyprian regarding virgins. Although, I was also watching some episodes of Life is worth living with the Venerable Fulton J Sheen.

How sad for those of us who are retired and unable to afford a subscription. You might wanna call that what it is, greed. Nice trick to suck people into watching the videos and then taking them away unless they pay for them.
This teaching is erroneous also. He who has attained to Life in Christ is no more flesh but spirit. He is a new creation and in that new creation, there is a new heaven (the mind of Christ) and a new earth (the body incorruptible). He who is spirit is hidden in Christ who is Spirit and as such he mortifies (denies) the deeds of the flesh as did Jesus for whosoever walks in the flesh dies but whosoever walks in the spirit dies not though the flesh falls away, the life remains.
how are you charging people to spread the message of Christ!? did Jesus sit there charging for his Sermons? I'm unsubbing
This is not simply spreading the message of Christ. This is teaching, teaching a lot of things! 1 Timothy 5:18 For the Scripture saith, “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his reward.”
It isn't right to ask a man to devote his life and starve . You go to work for free .
The Scriptures are very clear when it said, the labour is worthy of his salary! Dr Pitre is an amazing Theologian and there is a lot of schooling that takes place and it's very expensive. It's not about charging for his videos, it's about getting a salary for his work, his Ministry. God bless all those who work to expand the Gospel. Thank you Dr. Pitre for your knowledge, much appreciated!
Because you need a house and food or else you are stuck hearing your mom butch at you over how many cookies you eat
Absolutely wrong. The "This Age" that Jesus and other Hebrews talked about was the old covenant age (the age before AD70, when the City and Temple were desolated, per Daniel). Most Hebrews knew that the "age of Messiah" (the new covenant) came after the old. But they obviously thought it was a physical Kingdom, with observation (not as Jesus has stated: "without observation"). In Paul's lifetime, the new was coming in while the old was fading away. The Leverite laws were pertinent to the Old Covenant, since this is how "sons of God" were created-via the flesh. Under the new covenant, there would be no need to give a women in marriage, because sons of God were born from above, as Jesus said to Nicodemus, the teacher of Israel-who was thinking after the old ways of the flesh, not in the ways of the Kingdom, which was to be within each of us-as Jesus so plainly declared.
What is it with seeing "the face of God"? It lasts but for a moment... Ooh wow, there is the Being that tortures the souls of men for sport, and has games with Satan. Look and fear, for this being allowed Satan to torture Job... Now the choice is to wail and gnash our teeth in eternal torment or look at this being in perpetual prayer??? It's a duel Damnation, your Damned either way.... Would it not be better for each soul to create its own Heaven, and be its own God, with full Autonomy of Self? That is what I would prefer
Unfortunately the only reality is God and our duty is to know what He is up for. There is a way!
Beholding the Face of God isn’t like looking at my face, or your friends face. It’s a term to mean seeing God as He truly is, and not through a veil like some can see Him here in our world. It’s beholding the Infinite God, Beauty Itself, Being Itself, the awe of being in the presence of the Divine Creator. The total fulfillment of desire, happiness, longing, the total fulfillment of love.
Just take into consideration to whom Jesus was speaking. Now, go read the laws of marriage in the Old Testament. This isn't rocket science, people. Plus, this was just a set-up question by the Sadducee
s who didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead. Geez, read you Bibles!!
smh
You say marriage and procreation was/is only meant for this world due to it being a fallen world due to sin. However God told Adam & Eve to procreate BEFORE the fall, and they were married as well. This was the original design before sin. This is a big contradiction. Also as another commenter stated, this completely contradicts Isaiah where it speaks of children. Based on what you're saying, God is going to completely redesign his original creation of humans by changing our anatomy?? If we are to believe there will be no marriage, sex or children, that must mean God will remove all reproductive & sexual organs, hormones, functions etc, etc, from the bodies of males and females. How will we keep our gender if He does that? We can't, that's why it doesn't make sense. Just as it doesn't make sense He will do away with marriage and procreation, which He called "Good" before the fall. Your message is quite disturbing to many, especially widows and those who were never able to have relationships and children on this earth. I hope you will reply, but I doubt it. This teaching makes no sense at all.
This guys answer is almost cookie cutter answer that theologians such as Dr. Pitre like to use when they don't do their homework themselves. lol
@@dirtybritchies749 I have to admit this guy teaches like a typical "drive-by" commentator. They get their jab in and quickly exit without any rebuttal. At least he allowed comments, not that anyone (but us) challenges him.
@Mallory Jackson - You say; " If we are to believe there will be no marriage, sex or children, that must mean God will remove all reproductive & sexual organs, hormones, functions etc, etc, from the bodies of males and females. How will we keep our gender if He does that?"
Adam and Eve had sexual organs, but it seems in their state of innocence they may have been unaware of their functions(Genesis2:25, Genesis3:7, Genesis3:10-11) etc. They may not have had any desire to procreate prior to the fall because of their lack of concupiscence. God also tells the animals to, 'be fruitful and multiply,' in Genesis1:22, but they wouldn't have understood him unless they were given some supernatural ability to.
Remember also that God knew that Adam and Eve would fall _before_ their creation, so when he tells them also, 'be fruitful and multiply,' in Genesis1:28, if he did mean it in the procreative sense, this could have been because of his prior knowledge of their fall.
I believe it's taught that one of the preternatural gifts that Adam and Eve would have enjoyed had they not fallen was immortality, so there would have been no need for them to procreate had they not fallen.
@@Sean-lv6fx There are significant problems with your interpretation, such as that it’s all guesses and ignores the fact that if God designed something that he called good, but required people to ruin the good condition for one of its functions, he would be contradicting himself. It states nowhere in the Bible that death is a reason for reproduction. God created other beings to love them, because he’s a three in one being who’s personal and wants more of that type of relationship. It wouldn’t make any sense for Gods eternal plan to involve multiple people in a community if reproducing is dependent on death. They saw that they were naked means they were concerned about it after they sinned, because now they corrupted the good nature of their nudity and sexuality. Death was dependent on Adam and Eve having sinned. They were already immortal, or it wouldn’t have made a difference to warn them not to eat the forbidden fruit if they could have died anyway. Creation wasn’t very good until God created marriage, and it was the only thing God said wasn’t good to be without before creating it. Song of Songs is all about marriage and sexual passions, and teaches nothing about needing to reproduce or die for marriage to be necessary. The purpose of marriage is for the sexually passionate intimacy of itself, and After the first meeting of Adam and Eve it explicitly states that for this reason shall people be married and become one flesh with each other.
if you have a problem you need to take it up with the Lord Jesus...He taught there is no marriage in Heaven
Let's hope we don't look like the Icons pictured in the video in the next life, very ugly really. I would prefer the artists of Renaissance to the Greek Orthodox versions. They never quite learned to draw.
Greek AND Russian Orthodox Icons are so profound and beautiful and theological that I cannot find words to describe these windows into heaven. they are NOT SUPPOSED to be realistic pictures resembling a photograph.
To bad I can use scripture to debunk this pathetic ass concept 95% of christianity has taking on LOL
Says exactly who married the father and the suffering servants name touched it plenty still perfect is self proclaimed people proclaimed fools speaking saying nothing impressing others pretend to understand guess educated guesser pretenders of understanding question none pretend to be known the only problem and done playing real soon is the end of the age. Deaf when spoke plain
