From EAST INDONRSIA-Kupang, I would like to express my feeling. I am happy to hear that Jesus Christ the Lord had called you to you back to His sweet home.
I started praying the Rosary about 5 weeks ago. My husband is Catholic and I’ve been a Christian (protestant) for over 32 years and have I struggled with the same sin for most of my life. Once I started praying the Rosary it became clear to me that I had an oppressive evil spirit that has been with me since I was abused by an evil uncle at the age of four. The scales fell from my eyes. Blessed Mary revealed to me this spirit and I prayed the rosary and a prayer of deliverance and it LEFT me!! Praise to our Lord who hears our prayers through our blessed mother! I am now going through catechism and plan to convert. My family once were Catholics and she is calling me home to the Catholic Church. I could never understand how scripture says we are a new creation in Christ when we are born into His kingdom. Now I do, I feel like a new person. I just can’t even explain how different I feel. How happy and so unbelievably thankful. Ava Maria
I have had a feeling that something was afflicting me for quite sometime and it driving a lot of my destructive behavior. The more I prayed the rosary, the more I realized that it was an oppressive spirit. When I came to the realization, I prayed for forgiveness and my sins first. I wanted to make sure I came with a request with a pure heart and then I spoke out loud. It had no right to be with me, and I prayed to rebuke the evil spirit and for it to leave me. I just prayed my own words in the name of Jesus. It’s not like anything crazy happened at that moment. I didn’t feel some energy leave me or anything like that. I just realized it over the next couple days and in weeks since that is no longer there! I saw changes in my behavior, changes in my self control and praise God that sin isn’t tempting me anymore! I feel like the missing part to my answered prayers was the mercy of the Blessed Mother through my prayers asking her to be my advocate to our Lord.
I am an ex Anglican with an Anglican vicar paternal grandfather, and maternal grandparents many years protestant missionaries in China. I have been nearly 70 years a Catholic now and am now nearly 90. I was living in Italy soon after conversion for nearly 15 years, including working as a translator in the Vatican for a while. It was there that I had a sudden call to Carmel, but fought hard against it. So I too experienced hard-to-believe demonic attacks, so know how terrifying they can be. By hesitating and procrastinating I think I was leaving a door open for the devil to try and prevent my vocation. After a great deal of deviating and a circuitous route I did eventually enter a Carmel in Northern Italy where I was very happy for a year, but then because of a severe illness it was decided that the enclosure was not where I should be, but with the Secular Discalced Carmelites, OCDS, and have now been a member for 47 years. There has been a reason for God leading me along a very crooked path, which I can now see. But when the Hound of Heaven calls, it is wise to respond immediately. The Rosary is one of the greatest weapons against Satan, and I still find it a struggle to pray it daily! Complaining about the Church also leaves doors and windows open to the devil and his minions! +
The Brown Scapular & the Rosary are the weapons against evil. Always wear the Brown Scapular. Of course if you haven't been enrolled you must ask a priest to enroll you. It is a once in your life enrollment
i prayed for a man (at home by myself) once who couldnt understand/relate to Mary, and after some time, he decided to join the Catholic church, and had a great love and respect for Mary, where he hadnt before!! i was stunned and overjoyed! 🎉🎉🎉
@@colvinator1611 Big difference between the Blessed Virgin and Protestant Queen. All through the ages those who would reject Christ's teaching and His Church (The Roman Catholic Church) have also had to reject the bible that Christ’s Church protected for almost 2000 years.The canon, or list of approved New Testament books, was not approved by the Catholic Church until the 4th century a festal epistle of St. Athanasius of Alexandria (A.D. 367), as well as a contemporary decree of Pope St. Damasusin Rome (A.D. 381). However, there were those who must either reject or pervert and change the scripture to fit their own agenda. They take their example from the devil ( the father of all lies as seen in Matt. 4:1-11. When King James’ I called together his hand pick 54 scholars (stooges) their goal was to alter the Bible so that it fit their Protestant view point. In process they made 30,000 changes to the word of "God". They took out seven books of sacred scripture. (Old Testament: Judith, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Tobias, Wisdom, and the two books of the Machabees). There are many ways King James and his stooges deceitfully change sacred scripture, but, they fit in four general categories. First, is to reject the validity of whole books of sacred scripture. Second, they reject the ancient teaching and writing of Fathers of the church, on sacred scripture and true meaning. These heretics try to negate their importance by the theory of private interpretation of scripture, which is streaky against the teaching of the Bible and Christ's Church. (Sec. Peter 1:20)"Understanding that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation" Third, these heretics perverted scripture by changing very texts. (The word of God) by adding or Subtracting to change or diminish the meaning here and there for their purposes. Fourth, is to make corrupt and false translations for they maintenance of their corrupt beliefs. The original 1611 King James venison had over 30,000 mistakes, some of which have been corrected. That many errors shows a design and plan because it's hard for 54 scholars to mess up that many times by accident. Either it was on purpose or they were 54 of the most incompetent scholars in history and they had no business even trying to translate the Bible. The author has found over 4,823 examples, all through he humbly admits, he had not even begun to scratch the surfaces.
@@colvinator1611 Big difference between a pagan deity, a Protestant Queen and the Virgin Mary.The “Queen of Heaven” that Jeremiah refers to is not Mary. Therefore, he was not condemning Marian devotion. The fact that Jeremiah was not referring to Mary is obvious, since he was writing around 600 B.C., not the first century A.D. In his day, the title “Queen of Heaven” was used to refer to various pagan deities. The fact that a pagan deity Ishtar was supposedly known as the queen of heaven doesn’t mean this term can’t rightfully be applied, in another sense altogether, to Mary. The pagan king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, is called the king of kings by Daniel (Dn 2:37), yet this doesn’t preclude Jesus from being called by the same title (Rv 17:14; 19:16). Since the destiny of all Christians is to reign as kings and queens with Christ in heaven (Eph 2:12; Rv 1:6; 5:10), and since Mary is the preeminent Christian, there’s nothing wrong with giving her the title which Christ, the King of Kings, bestowed upon her in making Mary his mother.

Having experienced attacks since I was a child, I'm grateful that my aunt taught me to pray the Lord's Prayer. As a 5yr old, I believed in God and spoke to Him and sought a relationship with Him. At 8, I signed myself up for Catholic Church Doctrine classes for children. I didn't fully learn about the power of the rosary until I was an adult. It warms my heart to hear these life experiences. It's truly a miracle.
Go to a local Catholic Church and ask to attend adult classes called OCIA- ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS. Formerly , called RCIA. Welcome!!!!
God is so AWESEOME!! Welcome into the sheepfold!! Always room for one more sheep, 🐑🙏 Thank-you for posting your comment. In the daily recitation of the Rosary, my husband and I begin in this way: ''Dear Blessed Mother, we unite our hearts with yours, for conversion of sinners, the perseverance of the just, the relief of the holy souls in Purgatory, and the conversion of the Jews.'' Our blessed Mother is continually answering our prayers, and yours is another proof! May God grant you peace, hope, joy and perseverance in faith!
@@suzannemcmaken4648 1) what's the connection from Catholicism to paganism? 2) It's obviously false that there's no difference between Anglicanism and Catholicism.
I am now 83 and became a Catholic at the age of 25 when I met a lovely lady who asked me to take her to Mass on a Sunday Evening Date before going to a Hotel for a Drink. I had never experienced a Mass and Holy Eucharist before me before as the Priest in my Church which I was lapsed said ' This is My Sacrafice and yours ' these words changed me and it was not long before I undertook a course of study. Now many years later I am still enjoying The Mass and those lovely words
As someone who was brought up Roman Catholic and then decided to be received into the Anglican Church, I was set upon by great spiritual desolation. The Mother of God brought me back to my life in Christ. Thanks be to God.
Cradle protestant trying to understand mother Mary, pray for me. Considering conversion. Learning the Rosary. I'm amazed how what previously repelled me, is now drawing me. The label "CoRedemptrix" repells protestants on the face of it only because of their devotion to Christ - but when you dive into the meaning and understand, has the opposite effect. It's amazing.
Mary's cooperation with the divine plan was absolutely essential. She had free will and could've said "No." To accept God's call for her life, put her in danger. The Blessed Mother has more than once come to my rescue against the enemy and for that, I am very grateful. The Fall in the Garden of Eden was a failure of the first two humans (Adam and Eve) and our restoration is the cooperation of two more humans (Jesus and Mary.)
She is the purest example of human love, devotion, faith, virtue, humility etc to Our Lord and humanity. Where Our Mother is Jesus is. Even in any image of her, many times, maybe most, she is pregnant with Our Lord.
I can't imagine the agony she went thru to bring us our Savior. They suffered together, on our behalf. Jesus is our Savior & He was brutalized so that we may be saved. Just like I wouldn't tell Him that His suffering didn't matter, I also can't imagine looking at Mary & telling her that her suffering for us didn't matter. She had all the agonizing emotions of any mother would have if she watched a child going thru what Jesus went through. It isn't that she matter "more", but she absolutely matters.
So beautiful. I first saw Dr. Gavin on The Journey Home. E.W.T.N. I am a revert to the Catholic Church. Grew up in England. Married a young American. His Mum and Dad were very hard to get along with. I lived with them why my husband served in Vietnam. We only been married for a few weeks. Hardest year of my life. They were very strict Protestants. They reminded me of those puritans who came over to the new world on the Mayflower. My dear mother who I missed so much was Church of England. My Dad Polish. Catholic but not a practicing Catholic. My Grandmother made sure my sister and I was brought up in the Church of England.I first converted to the Catholic Church in 1978. Unfortunately I fell away for 19 yrs. Long story I made my journey home about 9 and half yrs ago. Forever thankful to EWTN. The Journey Home and read about the Early Church Fathers.
The Holy Spirit is powerful. Just what I needed to hear. I am product of Colombian/English parents brought up in UK. So I have chosen both C of E and Catholic. I have reverted to Catholic roots and brought back to the Rosary. Everything in Gavin's story re Mary I have found true. Especially co redemtrix. I thought that myself.I haven't read any books like Gavin but I just knew.
This is a remarkable interview. I am a revert and my family is converting. They will find this interview such a joy of confirmation. SO grateful to Our Lord and His amazing love that never gives up
I am very grateful for this interview with Dr. Gavin Ashenden. I converted to Catholism at 18 from Lutherran. I'm 80. I struggle with Mary. I want to love her too. A book of St. James ??
This is Extraordinary , I learnt so much from former Protestant Conversions , we Catholics Are Lazy ! , we solely just feel, rely and Believe on the Graces of God , while other brothers have a deeper Foundation, formation and Bible study. We Must match their proficiency in Bible studies to match their reasoning.
😮@@suzannemcmaken4648 Catholics compiled the Bible. It was the only Church till the 1500's. All other religions are man made. Jesus founded the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Come home.
@@suzannemcmaken4648and what human creature pulled u away from the Catholic Church? Just curious, asking all ex-Catholics. Only 1 out of 25 responded, and not even sure they are HONEST (for the love of God).
Thankyou Gavin-- I kept praying these sacred words as you spoke: " My soul magnifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He who is Mighty has done great things for me & Holy Is His Name!!!!!"" May these words send His love throughout the world..... Amen Pauline in Adelaide, Australia
I've been praying for the reversions of the royal family--and thus all of the UK to the Catholic Church. 🙏 Bring them Home to your Son's Catholic Church, dear Blessed Mother🌹!
I, too, have been praying for the English royals and their evil Masonic ancestors. The global revolutions (French, Russian, Spanish, Mexican, and most Central and South American) are instigated by the masonic powers. These are direct attacks against the Church and priests. 14:50
That will never happened. Europe was given the One True Faith first…therefore God said that Europe will fall first because they rejected the true faith. I’m sorry but I detest England.
It was listening to testimonies of converts along with watching those Left Behind movies that helped convince me NOT to leave the Church. Reinforcing my devotion to Our Lady came soon after. God bless converts for coming in and reminding a formerly lukewarm cradle Catholic of the beauty of the faith.
Thank you so very much for this program. Dr Gavin gave wonderful, powerful experiences. Our Lord Jesus & Blessed Mother is using him in a very special way. Our protestant brothers & sisters need our prayers!
What a wonderful interview. I converted to the Faith many years ago, but it wasn’t until recent years that I began to pray the rosary and approach Our Lady. I found Dr Hahn’s work helpful, and also Dr Fulton Brown’s thoughts as well. She explained how Our Lady helps us grasp the Incarnation. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!
I keep getting chills! (good ones!) I've once experienced the scent of roses while praying my rosary. So special. Thank you for sharing! Sometimes my faith isn't where it should be, I need these reminders 🙏
You need to move the flower vase away from where your praying as it seams you have a guardian Angel watching over you, Recite the Rosery read scripture attend mass seek confession receive holly communion youl be Enlightened, Someone is praying for you i sence a great loss be kind to yourself and no she knows your okay, I know its a femail she's guiding me❤
@michaeldonovan6076 lol! I was in the chapel and looked all around me, no roses anywhere. I do all these things. There certainly has been a great loss recently, (even though the incident described above occurred years ago). Thank you for the kind words and inspiration- I needed that. I cannot be more grateful to have God and his mama in my life 🙏❤️
I'm 62 and a cradle Catholic. I was away from the church for years until I was in my 40's. Growing up I went to Catholic school at a time when things weren't so good. I now pray the rosary and realize... that meditating on the particular mysteries that the Rosary is funamentaly scripture. As long as one embraces the mysteries. I've given out many to non Catholics and many are drawn to it. I'm being demonically oppressed presently. Things were good for a few years but old hairy legs seems to be back especially in my dreams. For many years I led a very sinful life flooded with pornography. Those days are gone... praise God... but when you let the devil into your house he wants to keep coming back. So for those presently oppressed by the devil and his minions I recommend to always have a rosary and holy water on hand. Don't miss Mass and stick to the sacraments. Flood your internet usage with Catholic programs and beware of the devil's snares because they are many. We can not deny how evil is such a force now. God bless and Jesus I trust in you.
Welcome back @JamesGoetzke!! You are well on your way to Heaven, but the enemy of souls doesn't give up easily, as you mentioned. To fight this battle you need as much spiritual ammunition and armor as possible. So I would recommend being enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. (ask a traditional priest to do this; it takes about 5 minutes); wear a blessed medal of St. Michael and pray daily the Chaplet of St. Michael and the 7 choirs of Angels. Also, a blessed St. Benedict Medal with the invocation written on it in Latin, which says: ''Get behind me Satan!'' And keep praying the Rosary! Our Lady will be with you every step of the way! 🙏
You, dear brother Gavin, became a child of Our Lady ans She told you " do what He tells you" and you did it. I pray for you keeping this Motherly advice and to become another Christ on Earth with a big child's heart!
Thankyou! Your point on the BVM has struck me. I am 45 for years, a Catholic priest. Without the recourse to the BVM especially through the Holy Rosary and the numerous devotions to her, we the priests and religious men and women cannot stand firm. The same is true for all the Christians. God gave us our mother the BVM.
Great conversation. I’m a relatively new Catholic (August 22) and have recently really been struggling with my faith. Listening to interviews like this really help to inspire and give me hope. Thank you 🙏
This are the end of times. The evil one is testing us fully so we fail in our faith, but our Lord is permitting it, so we come out stronger in our faith, is like a muscle!! You are at the right place at the right time, but it won't be easy, it will get terrible hard, hang on to Our Lord and Blessed Mother. Prayer, fasting, charity, communion, prepping.
We need to maintain in state of grace, assist to mass as often as possible, pray the rosary daily and fast every Wednesday and Friday throughout the year. We need to pray for the conversion of souls and make reparation for the offenses done to Our Lord even inside his own Church.
Beautiful conversation story. Mothers are go to persons of families. That is Mother Mary role, she is our go to persona to Jesus and our Creator Father who made her perfectly loving, pure and understanding for our fallen nature like God himself is. She prepares us for a deeper relationship with God through her own experience as God’s most blessed among women.
I am a cradle Catholic but along my life's journey so far I've also been attracted to non-catholic and even non-christian churches or communities. But conversions to the Catholic faith have always fascinated me. This one of Dr. Gavin is quite remarkable, especially as it was the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary that drew him into the faith. I realize ( as I realize every time it happens) that it's the Rosary, and the Eucharist, and the Church's own faith tradition that has kept me in the Catholic fold. Thank your for sharing your conversion story, Dr. Gavin...
Yes! Thank you so much for this conversation. Beautiful and powerful. Like someone, please God, we, as Catholics, know. Her role as head crusher is coming to the fore. I suspect that as the “head” surfaces so liberally, it WILL drive us into her army, her immaculate heart.
Dr Thank you so much for telling your conversion story. You are a positive joyful Holy Spirit-filled breath of fresh air to our beloved Faith. God bless you soldier of Jesus Christ! You confirm and boost up my Faith of 65 years-still Ned’s booster shots!
St Maximilian Kolbe's followers! Love that Saint. I had the privilege of defending St Maximilian Kolbe from outrageous accusations at the ADL - Anti Defamation League of all places. My one and only attendance there. Dr Ashenden, lovely to hear the Ave in an English accent. I moved from England to Ireland when I was ten, grieved for my Anglican teachers in England, and still miss the kindly Anglican practicality.
Gentlemen good morning, in November 2019 I picked up the rosary and put down the vice that decays our society which is porn. The two cannot exists on the same plane. Our Lady like a good mother cured me of this selfish disgusting habit. The rosary and the study of its history prepared my little family for 2020. Ave Maria.
@@RecalledtoLife : although he didn't mention the Lord Jesus explicitly, when one studies the history and prayers of the Rosary, one can see how it is God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost Who is the author of the Rosary, since nothing happens without God permitting it or causing it. God uses Our Lady (and she corresponds with her 'Yes-fiat') as a vehicle for the salvation of souls, as She first responded with her 'Yes' to the announcement of the Angel Gabriel, and assented to become the Mother of the Savior, Emmanuel. She pleads for sinners at the foot of her Son's Holy Cross, at Calvary and at every Mass; she will continue to intercede and say to the Lord Jesus, ''They have no wine'', and He will continue to hear His Mother's pleas and answer her prayers, until the end of time.
@@RecalledtoLifeThe Rosary is all about our Lord, Jesus Christ from the time the Angel Gabriel first appeared to Mary to exclaim that God found her worthy to be His Holy Mother. ‘Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you’ and then from her visit with her cousin Elizabeth who first exclaimed to Mary upon seeing her, ‘Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.’ That’s the Main part of that prayer we say which is STRICTLY BIBLICAL. Man added after that phrase, ‘Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen’. We say a few other prayers and name one of the Holy Mysteries such as the Visitation before each decade. It’s really the Bible on beads. It’s beautiful
Luther honored Mary, called her Blessed, & instructed us to honor & pray for her intercession. God bless everyone that calls her Blessed, & when we look at Mary's example as a mother and believer in her Son, she always in scripture points us to our Savior. What an amazing woman, loyal to our Father & believer in her Son.
If I had been alive at the time of Luther I may very well have left, too. Ironically, we have to thank Protestants for exposing the un-Christlike nature of The Church, at the time. So, Protestantism ought to be seen as a force for good. God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. Peace be with you.
@thymebazil4822 There have been many evils perpetrated in the name of The Holy Roman Catholic Church. They were manifold and manifest. We failed many of God's children, which is why we have become so scattered. They were 'evil times', true. But The Church can not absolve itself from being a part of that evil. To do so would be pernicious, accusatory; lacking in reason and in love, leaving no room for reconciliation. Now, 'that' is a slippery slope.
@@graceygrumble Despite the amount of scholarship dedicated to Luther, a false narrative perpetuated by Protestant propaganda often obscures the real man. This false narrative portrays Luther as a valiant monk fighting against the powerful papacy in order to reform the corrupt Catholic Church of the 16th century. Attacked by the Church for his heroic defense of the average Christian and desire to restore the Christian faith to its earlier purity, the false narrative alleges, Luther was a reformer who was forced into his rebellion. As the 500th anniversary of the beginnings of the so-called Protestant Reformation is recalled in religious and secular media throughout the month, many of the myths and legends about Martin Luther will once more enter into the collective consciousness of the Western world. Despite the false narrative of Luther the “bold reformer,” the real story finds an angry man, whose rejection of papal authority, among other heretical positions, quickly ushered in a revolution, not a reformation, which cleaved Christendom and shaped Western civilization down to the modern day. True that the Church in the 16th century was in need of reform, as many abuses had crept into its life, including the buying and selling of ecclesial offices (simony), nepotism, absenteeism (when a bishop did not live in his diocese) and pluralism (one man appointed bishop of multiple dioceses). Many people in the Church called for reform and desired an end to these practices. Luther came to fame with the publication of his “95 Theses” in the fall of 1517. Contrary to the popular myth that Luther was condemned by the Church for his attack on the “selling” of indulgences, the real issue centered on Luther’s heretical claim that the pope had no authority even to grant an in-dulgence. After the 95 Theses were examined by papal theologians, Luther was ordered to travel to Rome for questioning and to recant his heretical views. Over the centuries, Luther the man gave way to Luther the symbol. The former Augustinian monk who rebelled against the Church and whose writings spawned a century of horrific bloodshed throughout Europe was idolized as a valiant “reformer” who stood against the powerful and corrupt Catholic Church. Luther was not a reformer, but an angry revolutionary who cleaved the unity of Christendom and placed the Western world on a path toward the secularization and indifferentism of modern society.
@@graceygrumble Catholic Reformation was necessary and justified. Although Catholics contributed sins of their own, the “sin” of the Reformation, it seems, was the division among Christians brought about by Protestant changes of doctrine, practice, and church structure. In early sixteenth-century, Catholicism needed reform or purification? Popes, prelates, priests, and the people. Late medieval popes and their clergy were by no means all wicked. Luther brought to the debate his recently acquired justification by faith alone (sola fide). Soon, he moved well beyond the issue of indulgences and wound up defending his ideas against Catholic theologians in such a way that he embraced a different notion of how Christians come to know what God asks them to believe: by Scripture alone (sola scriptura). Luther’s ideas spread to others unable or unwilling to distinguish Catholic reform of the Church from religious revolution. The Protestant Reformation was launched.The trouble was, sound doctrines were mixed up with false theories, which eventually put Luther and others at odds with the Catholic Church. What might have contributed to the Catholic Reformation of the time was distorted and exaggerated. Catholics, as Vatican II implies, contributed to the sin of separation. Yet Protestantism, in the name of reform, introduced mistaken ideas and practices that divided Protestants from full communion with the Catholic Church. While Lutheran turned Orthodox, Jaroslav Pelikan once called the Protestant Reformation a tragic necessity. From the Catholic perspective, it was tragic because it was not necessary. Things Luther rightly sought to correct did not require separation from the Catholic Church; what separated Luther and other Protestants from the Church were their theological theories and reinterpretations of Christian beliefs and practices. Unfortunately, Luther and the other early Protestants interpreted these ideas in such a way that broke communion with the Catholic Church and fostered religious upheaval in Europe. These interpretations were the negative principles, as Bouyer saw it.
Jesus told us to learn from Him because He’s gentle and humble of heart… One thing we can learn is that He loved (s) his mother and had the utmost respect and honour for her…He would expect us to do the same
Hail Mary full of grace, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus! Holy Mary, Mother of God ❤pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen 🙏
@@RosamariaArrojo Sadly, Our Lady is terribly blasphemed. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, turn thine eyes of pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sore afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against Thee, Thy Holy Mother and Saint Joseph, her most Chaste Spouse.
I am former Anglican, I appreciate everything Dr Ashenden has experienced. I mourn for the changes in the Church today. She seems hell bent on throwing away her foundations. We must pray that the Lord will stay His hand and give us time to turn things around as has happened throughout the ages.
I love your guest. He is such a joy and his conversion testimony is quite beautiful and miraculous. Our Lady asked Jesus to change your guest from water into the finest wine. Just like at the Wedding Feast at Cana.
Here in the Phils, we call our Lady, Mama Mary. When I pray the Rosary, there are times when I feel dry and distracted and I become committed to still pray every day.Truly Mama Mary covers us in her Mantle of protection.
our lady is the Mother of all and does her work with patience and Love welcome all to repentance, forgiveness and love with freedom from lies and hopelessness God Bless
One day while praying the rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament I was taken back seeing the tabernacle candle light would flicker that the flame would swell to its container then to its wick. Some flower plants pots covered with golden paper would reflect this light show. Somehow this remind me of a heart beat. A few days later I heard about the Buenos Aires miracle.
@@suzannemcmaken4648 “I WILL PUT EMNITY between you and the woman, and between your seed and her SEED (Christ); HE (Christ)shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise HER heel.”
Thankyou Gavin--- thought & soul provoking & my prayer for the rest of this day is; " My soul magnifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He who is Mighty has done great things for me & Holy Is His Name!!!!!!" Love through Mary's hands to all.........
Thank you. I have always depended on more intellectual apologetics to share my Catholic faith, and avoided too much of miracles and spiritual manifestations, including apparitions. But your testimony gives me hope that there is a better way to bring about the conversion of the many people who I love, and who have no faith.
Sometimes after receiving the host Iam moved to gentle tears and unworldly peace having previously recited the Rosary with my congregation And I am enlightened by the more dramatic happenings such as the bat attack that my experience is valid And a Jesuit ONCE said He that hearth You Heareth ME AND YOUR ELOQUENCE and faith applies Thank you both I have forwarded your video
What a beautiful story. To learn the sad and cruel story of the Catholic Church in Britain, is humbling and an encouragement. To know of the witness of Saint Thomas More, bishop Fisher, that as leaders follow the example of the Lord: no grater love there is than to lay down your life for your friends. That is our story as Catholics, that where ever we are, the cross of Christ will be raised, not for our self satisfaction but to proclaim that our death and suffering will be sterile if we don’t day with Christ.
As a catholic i believe In God, the father, his son Jesus Christ our Lord to guides and protects from all evil, setans and with the Holy Rosary from dangers and fears. Amen
Thank you so much to all concerned for bringing us such a marvellous interview with such insight and joy, I offer a rosary for you in Thanksgiving to Our Lady for all the blessings she gives.
Without a doubt the only way for the Catholic faith to survive and trive in today’s world is through prayer to our Mother Mary in Heaven. Hail Mary full of grace we need the grace of God to fight evil and discord and unnecessary violence and suffering that is going on in our world today …….Pray Trust and Don’t worry.

I started praying the Rosary about 5 weeks ago. My husband is Catholic and I’ve been a Christian (protestant) for over 32 years and have I struggled with the same sin for most of my life. Once I started praying the Rosary it became clear to me that I had an oppressive evil spirit that has been with me since I was abused by an evil uncle at the age of four. The scales fell from my eyes. Blessed Mary revealed to me this spirit and I prayed the rosary and a prayer of deliverance and it LEFT me!! Praise to our Lord who hears our prayers through our blessed mother! I am now going through catechism and plan to convert. My family once were Catholics and she is calling me home to the Catholic Church. I could never understand how scripture says we are a new creation in Christ when we are born into His kingdom. Now I do, I feel like a new person. I just can’t even explain how different I feel. How happy and so unbelievably thankful. Ava Maria
Oh Lord, one of the most beautiful testimonies I have heard, thank you have inspiring me!!! God bless you!!!
@@peaceandlove544 God Bless you also
I love your testimony
I love your testimony.
I would like to know which
prayer of deliverance did you pray.
Thank you, and God bless you.
I have had a feeling that something was afflicting me for quite sometime and it driving a lot of my destructive behavior. The more I prayed the rosary, the more I realized that it was an oppressive spirit. When I came to the realization, I prayed for forgiveness and my sins first. I wanted to make sure I came with a request with a pure heart and then I spoke out loud. It had no right to be with me, and I prayed to rebuke the evil spirit and for it to leave me. I just prayed my own words in the name of Jesus. It’s not like anything crazy happened at that moment. I didn’t feel some energy leave me or anything like that. I just realized it over the next couple days and in weeks since that is no longer there! I saw changes in my behavior, changes in my self control and praise God that sin isn’t tempting me anymore! I feel like the missing part to my answered prayers was the mercy of the Blessed Mother through my prayers asking her to be my advocate to our Lord.
I am an ex Anglican with an Anglican vicar paternal grandfather, and maternal grandparents many years protestant missionaries in China. I have been nearly 70 years a Catholic now and am now nearly 90. I was living in Italy soon after conversion for nearly 15 years, including working as a translator in the Vatican for a while. It was there that I had a sudden call to Carmel, but fought hard against it. So I too experienced hard-to-believe demonic attacks, so know how terrifying they can be. By hesitating and procrastinating I think I was leaving a door open for the devil to try and prevent my vocation. After a great deal of deviating and a circuitous route I did eventually enter a Carmel in Northern Italy where I was very happy for a year, but then because of a severe illness it was decided that the enclosure was not where I should be, but with the Secular Discalced Carmelites, OCDS, and have now been a member for 47 years. There has been a reason for God leading me along a very crooked path, which I can now see. But when the Hound of Heaven calls, it is wise to respond immediately. The Rosary is one of the greatest weapons against Satan, and I still find it a struggle to pray it daily! Complaining about the Church also leaves doors and windows open to the devil and his minions! +
Wow great and beautiful testimony.
God bless you.
Your last line…well said. And praise God that you fought the good fight and answered God’s call.
Wise words
Thanks for sharing, and God bless you!
The Brown Scapular & the Rosary are the weapons against evil. Always wear the Brown Scapular. Of course if you haven't been enrolled you must ask a priest to enroll you. It is a once in your life enrollment
i prayed for a man (at home by myself) once who couldnt understand/relate to Mary, and after some time, he decided to join the Catholic church, and had a great love and respect for Mary, where he hadnt before!! i was stunned and overjoyed! 🎉🎉🎉
He liked working for one queen so much, he went to work for the greatest Queen there is.
You obviously mean the pagan babylonian queen identified in Jeremiah chapters 7 & 44 in my King James Bible. Exactly what the lost catholics do today.

@@colvinator1611 Big difference between the Blessed Virgin and Protestant Queen. All through the ages those who would reject Christ's teaching and His Church (The Roman Catholic Church) have also had to reject the bible that Christ’s Church protected for almost 2000 years.The canon, or list of approved New Testament books, was not approved by the Catholic Church until the 4th century a festal epistle of St. Athanasius of Alexandria (A.D. 367), as well as a contemporary decree of Pope St. Damasusin Rome (A.D. 381).
However, there were those who must either reject or pervert and change the scripture to fit their own agenda. They take their example from the devil ( the father of all lies as seen in Matt. 4:1-11. When King James’ I called together his hand pick 54 scholars (stooges) their goal was to alter the Bible so that it fit their Protestant view point. In process they made 30,000 changes to the word of "God". They took out seven books of sacred scripture. (Old Testament: Judith, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Tobias, Wisdom, and the two books of the Machabees).
There are many ways King James and his stooges deceitfully change sacred scripture, but, they fit in four general categories. First, is to reject the validity of whole books of sacred scripture. Second, they reject the ancient teaching and writing of Fathers of the church, on sacred scripture and true meaning. These heretics try to negate their importance by the theory of private interpretation of scripture, which is streaky against the teaching of the Bible and Christ's Church. (Sec. Peter 1:20)"Understanding that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation"
Third, these heretics perverted scripture by changing very texts. (The word of God) by adding or Subtracting to change or diminish the meaning here and there for their purposes. Fourth, is to make corrupt and false translations for they maintenance of their corrupt beliefs.
The original 1611 King James venison had over 30,000 mistakes, some of which have been corrected. That many errors shows a design and plan because it's hard for 54 scholars to mess up that many times by accident. Either it was on purpose or they were 54 of the most incompetent scholars in history and they had no business even trying to translate the Bible. The author has found over 4,823 examples, all through he humbly admits, he had not even begun to scratch the surfaces.
@@colvinator1611 Big difference between a pagan deity, a Protestant Queen and the Virgin Mary.The “Queen of Heaven” that Jeremiah refers to is not Mary. Therefore, he was not condemning Marian devotion. The fact that Jeremiah was not referring to Mary is obvious, since he was writing around 600 B.C., not the first century A.D. In his day, the title “Queen of Heaven” was used to refer to various pagan deities.
The fact that a pagan deity Ishtar was supposedly known as the queen of heaven doesn’t mean this term can’t rightfully be applied, in another sense altogether, to Mary. The pagan king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, is called the king of kings by Daniel (Dn 2:37), yet this doesn’t preclude Jesus from being called by the same title (Rv 17:14; 19:16).
Since the destiny of all Christians is to reign as kings and queens with Christ in heaven (Eph 2:12; Rv 1:6; 5:10), and since Mary is the preeminent Christian, there’s nothing wrong with giving her the title which Christ, the King of Kings, bestowed upon her in making Mary his mother.

Having experienced attacks since I was a child, I'm grateful that my aunt taught me to pray the Lord's Prayer. As a 5yr old, I believed in God and spoke to Him and sought a relationship with Him. At 8, I signed myself up for Catholic Church Doctrine classes for children. I didn't fully learn about the power of the rosary until I was an adult. It warms my heart to hear these life experiences. It's truly a miracle.
I am an American and an Englishmans daughter. He was brought up in the Anglican church. I'm seriously considering converting to Catholisism.
Cheers.
Its worth a shot!, May the Holy Ghost guide 🙏❤️🔥✝️

In the daily recitation of the Rosary, my husband and I begin in this way: ''Dear Blessed Mother, we unite our hearts with yours, for conversion of sinners, the perseverance of the just, the relief of the holy souls in Purgatory, and the conversion of the Jews.'' Our blessed Mother is continually answering our prayers, and yours is another proof! May God grant you peace, hope, joy and perseverance in faith!

I am now 83 and became a Catholic at the age of 25 when I met a lovely lady who asked me to take her to Mass on a Sunday Evening Date before going to a Hotel for a Drink.
I had never experienced a Mass and Holy Eucharist before me before as the Priest in my Church which I was lapsed said ' This is My Sacrafice and yours ' these words changed me and it was not long before I undertook a course of study. Now many years later I am still enjoying The Mass and those lovely words
As someone who was brought up Roman Catholic and then decided to be received into the Anglican Church, I was set upon by great spiritual desolation. The Mother of God brought me back to my life in Christ. Thanks be to God.
Poor Blessed Mother. She's always herding cats. 😊. Thank you, Blessed Mother.

Hello from a fellow Ryan, Robert!!
It is if you have highest knowledge to see it like I do@@suzannemcmaken4648
God bless many thanks for your beautiful commentary, May the Good Lord Grant us peace Amen,
Cradle protestant trying to understand mother Mary, pray for me. Considering conversion. Learning the Rosary. I'm amazed how what previously repelled me, is now drawing me. The label "CoRedemptrix" repells protestants on the face of it only because of their devotion to Christ - but when you dive into the meaning and understand, has the opposite effect. It's amazing.
Mary's cooperation with the divine plan was absolutely essential. She had free will and could've said "No." To accept God's call for her life, put her in danger. The Blessed Mother has more than once come to my rescue against the enemy and for that, I am very grateful. The Fall in the Garden of Eden was a failure of the first two humans (Adam and Eve) and our restoration is the cooperation of two more humans (Jesus and Mary.)
She is the purest example of human love, devotion, faith, virtue, humility etc to Our Lord and humanity. Where Our Mother is Jesus is. Even in any image of her, many times, maybe most, she is pregnant with Our Lord.
Never give up. Praying for you. I'm a cradle Catholic. Please pray for me. +
“Co-“ means “with”, not “equal to “.
I can't imagine the agony she went thru to bring us our Savior. They suffered together, on our behalf. Jesus is our Savior & He was brutalized so that we may be saved. Just like I wouldn't tell Him that His suffering didn't matter, I also can't imagine looking at Mary & telling her that her suffering for us didn't matter. She had all the agonizing emotions of any mother would have if she watched a child going thru what Jesus went through. It isn't that she matter "more", but she absolutely matters.
So beautiful. I first saw Dr. Gavin on The Journey Home. E.W.T.N. I am a revert to the Catholic Church. Grew up in England. Married a young American. His Mum and Dad were very hard to get along with. I lived with them why my husband served in Vietnam. We only been married for a few weeks. Hardest year of my life. They were very strict Protestants. They reminded me of those puritans who came over to the new world on the Mayflower. My dear mother who I missed so much was Church of England. My Dad Polish. Catholic but not a practicing Catholic. My Grandmother made sure my sister and I was brought up in the Church of England.I first converted to the Catholic Church in 1978. Unfortunately I fell away for 19 yrs. Long story I made my journey home about 9 and half yrs ago. Forever thankful to EWTN. The Journey Home and read about the Early Church Fathers.
Thank you. I am so blessed to be back in the Catholic Church.
What a marvelous man and story.. Thank you do much.
Amazing story! I immediately prayed called my wife and son to pray the rosary.
The Holy Spirit is powerful. Just what I needed to hear. I am product of Colombian/English parents brought up in UK. So I have chosen both C of E and Catholic. I have reverted to Catholic roots and brought back to the Rosary. Everything in Gavin's story re Mary I have found true. Especially co redemtrix. I thought that myself.I haven't read any books like Gavin but I just knew.
According to Dr Taylor Marshall. also an Anglican priest convert to Catholicism, states there are 50K Protestant denominations
This is a remarkable interview. I am a revert and my family is converting. They will find this interview such a joy of confirmation. SO grateful to Our Lord and His amazing love that never gives up
Welcome home!

Thank you for this beautiful and enlightened interview.
This is Extraordinary , I learnt so much from former Protestant Conversions , we Catholics Are Lazy ! , we solely just feel, rely and Believe on the Graces of God , while other brothers have a deeper Foundation, formation and Bible study.
We Must match their proficiency in Bible studies to match their reasoning.
Why converts insert such freshness into the Church.
@@carolynschuster291nothing like some fresh heresy.

That will never happened. Europe was given the One True Faith first…therefore God said that Europe will fall first because they rejected the true faith.

It was listening to testimonies of converts along with watching those Left Behind movies that helped convince me NOT to leave the Church. Reinforcing my devotion to Our Lady came soon after. God bless converts for coming in and reminding a formerly lukewarm cradle Catholic of the beauty of the faith.
Listening to Our Lady’s actions are Heavenly persistence and Heavenly aromas 🙏🏼✝️😇♥️💙🥀♥️🥀
Thank you so very much for this program. Dr Gavin gave wonderful, powerful experiences. Our Lord Jesus & Blessed Mother is using him in a very special way. Our protestant brothers & sisters need our prayers!
What a wonderful interview. I converted to the Faith many years ago, but it wasn’t until recent years that I began to pray the rosary and approach Our Lady. I found Dr Hahn’s work helpful, and also Dr Fulton Brown’s thoughts as well. She explained how Our Lady helps us grasp the Incarnation. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!
I keep getting chills! (good ones!) I've once experienced the scent of roses while praying my rosary. So special. Thank you for sharing! Sometimes my faith isn't where it should be, I need these reminders 🙏
You need to move the flower vase away from where your praying as it seams you have a guardian Angel watching over you,
Recite the Rosery read scripture attend mass seek confession receive holly communion youl be

Someone is praying for you i sence a great loss be kind to yourself and no she knows your okay,
I know its a femail she's guiding me❤
@michaeldonovan6076 lol! I was in the chapel and looked all around me, no roses anywhere. I do all these things. There certainly has been a great loss recently, (even though the incident described above occurred years ago). Thank you for the kind words and inspiration- I needed that. I cannot be more grateful to have God and his mama in my life 🙏❤️
You are doing great things for us Catholics thank you 🙏

I'm 62 and a cradle Catholic. I was away from the church for years until I was in my 40's. Growing up I went to Catholic school at a time when things weren't so good. I now pray the rosary and realize... that meditating on the particular mysteries that the Rosary is funamentaly scripture. As long as one embraces the mysteries. I've given out many to non Catholics and many are drawn to it. I'm being demonically oppressed presently. Things were good for a few years but old hairy legs seems to be back especially in my dreams. For many years I led a very sinful life flooded with pornography. Those days are gone... praise God... but when you let the devil into your house he wants to keep coming back. So for those presently oppressed by the devil and his minions I recommend to always have a rosary and holy water on hand. Don't miss Mass and stick to the sacraments. Flood your internet usage with Catholic programs and beware of the devil's snares because they are many. We can not deny how evil is such a force now. God bless and Jesus I trust in you.
Do you wear the Miraculous Medal? If not, please look into it.
I'm glad you're back. Keep praying.
Welcome back @JamesGoetzke!! You are well on your way to Heaven, but the enemy of souls doesn't give up easily, as you mentioned. To fight this battle you need as much spiritual ammunition and armor as possible. So I would recommend being enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. (ask a traditional priest to do this; it takes about 5 minutes); wear a blessed medal of St. Michael and pray daily the Chaplet of St. Michael and the 7 choirs of Angels. Also, a blessed St. Benedict Medal with the invocation written on it in Latin, which says: ''Get behind me Satan!'' And keep praying the Rosary! Our Lady will be with you every step of the way! 🙏
@@paisley293excellent advice
I will pray for your intentions this Lent at daily Mass and through Our Blessed Mother Mary and St. Padre Pio.
Keep putting your trust in Jesus. 🙏
Dr A your a chosen INSTRUMENT by our Virgin Mary Please continue the good work your doing! Blessed be God!
We ALL need to understand how much Jesus wants us to know his Mother & be involved with her!
You, dear brother Gavin, became a child of Our Lady ans She told you " do what He tells you" and you did it. I pray for you keeping this Motherly advice and to become another Christ on Earth with a big child's heart!
Beautiful story of your grandmother's deathbed conversion! Blessed Virgin Mary, Pray for us.
Yes, we have intentionally played down the presence of the mother [Our Lady] of the Church because of protestanism.
Thank you for making that point.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ I thank you for the tremendous gift of Our Lady. Gentle woman !!!!
Thankyou! Your point on the BVM has struck me. I am 45 for years, a Catholic priest. Without the recourse to the BVM especially through the Holy Rosary and the numerous devotions to her, we the priests and religious men and women cannot stand firm. The same is true for all the Christians. God gave us our mother the BVM.
The young priests story on his grandmother teared me up. God bless her
Ave Maria! Not a priest, just a brother, but thank you! Please pray for her soul - her name is June.
What a fascinating interview, thank you! The story of your grandmother’s conversion brought tears to my eyes, Fra Leo.
Great conversation. I’m a relatively new Catholic (August 22) and have recently really been struggling with my faith. Listening to interviews like this really help to inspire and give me hope. Thank you 🙏
This are the end of times. The evil one is testing us fully so we fail in our faith, but our Lord is permitting it, so we come out stronger in our faith, is like a muscle!! You are at the right place at the right time, but it won't be easy, it will get terrible hard, hang on to Our Lord and Blessed Mother. Prayer, fasting, charity, communion, prepping.
We outsiders love it when churches seek converts from other churches who are already saved - you leave us alone
Welcome home, Dr Ashenden. You are a delight to read and to listen to.
Cheers! Great video! Virgin most powerful, pray for us! St. Maximillian Kolbe, pray for us!!!
Our Lady Queen of peace, pray for us.
I was Anglican 14 yrs ago and converted to catholic and never looked back awsome and should have done it 40yrs ago allelua !
We need to maintain in state of grace, assist to mass as often as possible, pray the rosary daily and fast every Wednesday and Friday throughout the year. We need to pray for the conversion of souls and make reparation for the offenses done to Our Lord even inside his own Church.
I'm so enjoying the story of your conversion. Your accent so enriches this and your humor such a delight.
Beautiful conversation story. Mothers are go to persons of families. That is Mother Mary role, she is our go to persona to Jesus and our Creator Father who made her perfectly loving, pure and understanding for our fallen nature like God himself is. She prepares us for a deeper relationship with God through her own experience as God’s most blessed among women.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Thank you for this wonderful testimony. God bless you. This has been a joy!
I am a cradle Catholic but along my life's journey so far I've also been attracted to non-catholic and even non-christian churches or communities. But conversions to the Catholic faith have always fascinated me. This one of Dr. Gavin is quite remarkable, especially as it was the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary that drew him into the faith. I realize ( as I realize every time it happens) that it's the Rosary, and the Eucharist, and the Church's own faith tradition that has kept me in the Catholic fold. Thank your for sharing your conversion story, Dr. Gavin...
JESUS ONLY founded 1 FAITH, & it's the HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH!!! 😊🙏📿💒👑✝️🪔☮️⚖️🕊🌎
Thank you Dr Gavin. I love our Lady.
Thanks be to God for men like you. Anglican from Golder's Green in north London.
Yes! Thank you so much for this conversation. Beautiful and powerful. Like someone, please God, we, as Catholics, know. Her role as head crusher is coming to the fore. I suspect that as the “head” surfaces so liberally, it WILL drive us into her army, her immaculate heart.
Dr Thank you so much for telling your conversion story. You are a positive joyful Holy Spirit-filled breath of fresh air to our beloved Faith. God bless you soldier of Jesus Christ! You confirm and boost up my Faith of 65 years-still Ned’s booster shots!
Thanks Msgr Gavin. I reckon that you are an apostle of the BV Mary. Listening to you for the first time touched me so much.

St Maximilian Kolbe's followers! Love that Saint. I had the privilege of defending St Maximilian Kolbe from outrageous accusations at the ADL - Anti Defamation League of all places. My one and only attendance there. Dr Ashenden, lovely to hear the Ave in an English accent. I moved from England to Ireland when I was ten, grieved for my Anglican teachers in England, and still miss the kindly Anglican practicality.
Ave Maria
Gentlemen good morning, in November 2019 I picked up the rosary and put down the vice that decays our society which is porn. The two cannot exists on the same plane. Our Lady like a good mother cured me of this selfish disgusting habit. The rosary and the study of its history prepared my little family for 2020. Ave Maria.

@@RecalledtoLife Rosary wrapped all round Lord Jesus Christ. ROSARY - Righteous One Saves And Redeems You.
@@RecalledtoLife : although he didn't mention the Lord Jesus explicitly, when one studies the history and prayers of the Rosary, one can see how it is God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost Who is the author of the Rosary, since nothing happens without God permitting it or causing it. God uses Our Lady (and she corresponds with her 'Yes-fiat') as a vehicle for the salvation of souls, as She first responded with her 'Yes' to the announcement of the Angel Gabriel, and assented to become the Mother of the Savior, Emmanuel. She pleads for sinners at the foot of her Son's Holy Cross, at Calvary and at every Mass; she will continue to intercede and say to the Lord Jesus, ''They have no wine'', and He will continue to hear His Mother's pleas and answer her prayers, until the end of time.
@@RecalledtoLifeThe Rosary is all about our Lord, Jesus Christ from the time the Angel Gabriel first appeared to Mary to exclaim that God found her worthy to be His Holy Mother. ‘Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with you’ and then from her visit with her cousin Elizabeth who first exclaimed to Mary upon seeing her, ‘Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.’ That’s the Main part of that prayer we say which is STRICTLY BIBLICAL. Man added after that phrase, ‘Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen’. We say a few other prayers and name one of the Holy Mysteries such as the Visitation before each decade. It’s really the Bible on beads. It’s beautiful
Fear not Mother Mary always leads you to our Lord Jesus!
Luther honored Mary, called her Blessed, & instructed us to honor & pray for her intercession. God bless everyone that calls her Blessed, & when we look at Mary's example as a mother and believer in her Son, she always in scripture points us to our Savior. What an amazing woman, loyal to our Father & believer in her Son.
If I had been alive at the time of Luther I may very well have left, too. Ironically, we have to thank Protestants for exposing the un-Christlike nature of The Church, at the time. So, Protestantism ought to be seen as a force for good.
God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.
Peace be with you.
You just call evil good. It's very dangerous. Very thin line
@thymebazil4822 There have been many evils perpetrated in the name of The Holy Roman Catholic Church. They were manifold and manifest.
We failed many of God's children, which is why we have become so scattered.
They were 'evil times', true. But The Church can not absolve itself from being a part of that evil.
To do so would be pernicious, accusatory; lacking in reason and in love, leaving no room for reconciliation.
Now, 'that' is a slippery slope.
@@graceygrumble Despite the amount of scholarship dedicated to Luther, a false narrative perpetuated by Protestant propaganda often obscures the real man. This false narrative portrays Luther as a valiant monk fighting against the powerful papacy in order to reform the corrupt Catholic Church of the 16th century. Attacked by the Church for his heroic defense of the average Christian and desire to restore the Christian faith to its earlier purity, the false narrative alleges, Luther was a reformer who was forced into his rebellion.
As the 500th anniversary of the beginnings of the so-called Protestant Reformation is recalled in religious and secular media throughout the month, many of the myths and legends about Martin Luther will once more enter into the collective consciousness of the Western world. Despite the false narrative of Luther the “bold reformer,” the real story finds an angry man, whose rejection of papal authority, among other heretical positions, quickly ushered in a revolution, not a reformation, which cleaved Christendom and shaped Western civilization down to the modern day.
True that the Church in the 16th century was in need of reform, as many abuses had crept into its life, including the buying and selling of ecclesial offices (simony), nepotism, absenteeism (when a bishop did not live in his diocese) and pluralism (one man appointed bishop of multiple dioceses). Many people in the Church called for reform and desired an end to these practices. Luther came to fame with the publication of his “95 Theses” in the fall of 1517.
Contrary to the popular myth that Luther was condemned by the Church for his attack on the “selling” of indulgences, the real issue centered on Luther’s heretical claim that the pope had no authority even to grant an in-dulgence. After the 95 Theses were examined by papal theologians, Luther was ordered to travel to Rome for questioning and to recant his heretical views.
Over the centuries, Luther the man gave way to Luther the symbol. The former Augustinian monk who rebelled against the Church and whose writings spawned a century of horrific bloodshed throughout Europe was idolized as a valiant “reformer” who stood against the powerful and corrupt Catholic Church. Luther was not a reformer, but an angry revolutionary who cleaved the unity of Christendom and placed the Western world on a path toward the secularization and indifferentism of modern society.
@@graceygrumble Catholic Reformation was necessary and justified. Although Catholics contributed sins of their own, the “sin” of the Reformation, it seems, was the division among Christians brought about by Protestant changes of doctrine, practice, and church structure. In early sixteenth-century, Catholicism needed reform or purification? Popes, prelates, priests, and the people. Late medieval popes and their clergy were by no means all wicked. Luther brought to the debate his recently acquired justification by faith alone (sola fide). Soon, he moved well beyond the issue of indulgences and wound up defending his ideas against Catholic theologians in such a way that he embraced a different notion of how Christians come to know what God asks them to believe: by Scripture alone (sola scriptura). Luther’s ideas spread to others unable or unwilling to distinguish Catholic reform of the Church from religious revolution. The Protestant Reformation was launched.The trouble was, sound doctrines were mixed up with false theories, which eventually put Luther and others at odds with the Catholic Church. What might have contributed to the Catholic Reformation of the time was distorted and exaggerated.
Catholics, as Vatican II implies, contributed to the sin of separation. Yet Protestantism, in the name of reform, introduced mistaken ideas and practices that divided Protestants from full communion with the Catholic Church.
While Lutheran turned Orthodox, Jaroslav Pelikan once called the Protestant Reformation a tragic necessity. From the Catholic perspective, it was tragic because it was not necessary. Things Luther rightly sought to correct did not require separation from the Catholic Church; what separated Luther and other Protestants from the Church were their theological theories and reinterpretations of Christian beliefs and practices. Unfortunately, Luther and the other early Protestants interpreted these ideas in such a way that broke communion with the Catholic Church and fostered religious upheaval in Europe. These interpretations were the negative principles, as Bouyer saw it.
This is simply beautiful, inspiring, eye-opening! Ave Maria! Glory be to God!
Jesus told us to learn from Him because He’s gentle and humble of heart… One thing we can learn is that He loved (s) his mother and had the utmost respect and honour for her…He would expect us to do the same
The Catholic Church is the Only and True Church.
There is no doubt about this.
Such a great comfort listening to you Fr Ashenden. Thank you and May God bless you always!
I mean Dr Ashenden, sorry!
Hail Mary full of grace, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus! Holy Mary, Mother of God ❤pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen 🙏
Pray for us *sinners* …😊
Thank you So much for your prayer and comment since Our Blessed Mother has been so terribly, disgracefully blasphemed in some comments!!!
@@RosamariaArrojo Sadly, Our Lady is terribly blasphemed.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, turn thine eyes of pity upon us, miserable sinners; we are sore afflicted by the many evils that surround us in this life, but especially do we feel our hearts break within us upon hearing the dreadful insults and blasphemies uttered against Thee, Thy Holy Mother and Saint Joseph, her most Chaste Spouse.
Praise and glory be to God, iur Lady, Mother of God 🙏 for us.
Excellent interview
Thank you gentlemen
Mary, Queen of the Universe
Pray for us

I am former Anglican, I appreciate everything Dr Ashenden has experienced. I mourn for the changes in the Church today. She seems hell bent on throwing away her foundations. We must pray that the Lord will stay His hand and give us time to turn things around as has happened throughout the ages.
Betsy- no worries- Jesus Himself told us- “the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”
i love this guy Gavin. his podcast is really tactuflly done and doesnt backdown against tough subjects
This conversation was so interesting, thank you both so much. God Bless
Thank you & god bless you both I enjoyed this podcast.
I love your guest. He is such a joy and his conversion testimony is quite beautiful and miraculous. Our Lady asked Jesus to change your guest from water into the finest wine. Just like at the Wedding Feast at Cana.
Here in the Phils, we call our Lady, Mama Mary. When I pray the Rosary, there are times when I feel dry and distracted and I become committed to still pray every day.Truly Mama Mary covers us in her Mantle of protection.
Praying daily Rosary from New Mexico, USA
our lady is the Mother of all and does her work with patience and Love welcome all to repentance, forgiveness and love with freedom from lies and hopelessness God Bless
Glory be to Jesus Christ for his pure mother’s love so! Unconditional 💝!.
From queen’s chaplain to The Queen’s noble servant! Wow!
One day while praying the rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament I was taken back seeing the tabernacle candle light would flicker that the flame would swell to its container then to its wick. Some flower plants pots covered with golden paper would reflect this light show. Somehow this remind me of a heart beat. A few days later I heard about the Buenos Aires miracle.
Great praise to our Lady, our Blessed Mother, who leads everyone to Her Son, Jesus, including Moslems!
John 14:6-8
Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.
she's NOT my lady she was an excellent example of how to obey GOD she IS NOT the queen of heaven
she's NOT MY MOTHER she has a grave she was an excellent example to us all PERIOD!

@@BethHutch-pg5yi hmmm, I wonder if Mary had her periods, i.e. menstruations?
Thankyou Gavin--- thought & soul provoking & my prayer for the rest of this day is; " My soul magnifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He who is Mighty has done great things for me & Holy Is His Name!!!!!!" Love through Mary's hands to all.........
It was such a joy and uplifting to hear you speak. God Bless You.
Thank you so much for this interview. So very rich in faith. A true blessing.
Delightful interview. We need more discussion like this. Thanks for bringing this to us!
Refreshing
Ty Dr.Ashenden...for Sharing this important information about TRUTH. GOD Bless You & Your Wife!! 👼

Me too😊
Likewise❤❤
Great interview with good information. Our Lady also kept me in the Catholic Church.
if only everyone had the candor and truth seeking of dr. gavin..... kudos to you gavin
What a beautiful interview ❤️. Thank you!
What a lovely interview! I was deeply touched by this. I was converted recently after decades as a witch by praying the rosary.
Beautiful. Thank you for this interview.
Thank you. I have always depended on more intellectual apologetics to share my Catholic faith, and avoided too much of miracles and spiritual manifestations, including apparitions. But your testimony gives me hope that there is a better way to bring about the conversion of the many people who I love, and who have no faith.
Apologetics ...a MUST.
Sometimes after receiving the host Iam moved to gentle tears and unworldly peace having previously recited the Rosary with my congregation
And I am enlightened by the more dramatic happenings such as the bat attack that my experience is valid
And a Jesuit ONCE said He that hearth You Heareth ME
AND YOUR ELOQUENCE and faith applies
Thank you both I have forwarded your video
Dr Ashenden exudes such peace and joy🤗
What a beautiful story. To learn the sad and cruel story of the Catholic Church in Britain, is humbling and an encouragement. To know of the witness of Saint Thomas More, bishop Fisher, that as leaders follow the example of the Lord: no grater love there is than to lay down your life for your friends. That is our story as Catholics, that where ever we are, the cross of Christ will be raised, not for our self satisfaction but to proclaim that our death and suffering will be sterile if we don’t day with Christ.
I enjoyed the wonderful sharing thank you and God bless you both 🙏❤️
May God bless this ministry, from Houston Texas USA
That was a wonderful interview! Ave Maria ❤️🔥
Dr. Ashenden, you are a great encouragement to me.
Thank you! This was truly a brilliant, and very engaging, conversation. I will look forward to more!
As a catholic i believe In God, the father, his son Jesus Christ our Lord to guides and protects from all evil, setans and with the Holy Rosary from dangers and fears. Amen
Thank you! AVE Maria !🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much to all concerned for bringing us such a marvellous interview with such insight and joy,
I offer a rosary for you in Thanksgiving to Our Lady for all the blessings she gives.
Oh i love that story of the scent of roses .

Without a doubt the only way for the Catholic faith to survive and trive in today’s world is through prayer to our Mother Mary in Heaven. Hail Mary full of grace we need the grace of God to fight evil and discord and unnecessary violence and suffering that is going on in our world today …….Pray Trust and Don’t worry.
