I love the way the House of David goes underground at the same time the Ark goes underground. 600 years later both re-emerge as Joseph and Mary (the new Ark)
I prayed to st Joseph to help me be chaste, and I’ve done it. I have such a love and admiration for him and watching this brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing.
Imagine how close St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin must have been as husband and wife - truly the best of friends - in their love of Jesus and submission to God's Will.
Thank you for this. St Joseph is so overlooked. I recently consecrated myself to Joseph and Jesus through Mary. I have so much more respect for the Holy Family and the individual of St Jospeh. Praise God. ❤✝️❤️
Wow! Just like Moses was adopted into Pharoah family, but was a Hebrew. Now Joseph adopts Jesus. So many biblical prefigurations for our Messiah. Thank you for this talk.
Dear Matt (and Brant also...)! The talk is fabulous. Really. I almost cried just from imagining how much the story is like the true Lord of the Rings, with Joseph hiding and defending the true Heir to the Throne and fleeing to Egypt. Wow. And btw - the joke about Eusebius' Church History - "We all have a copy!" - is one of the best naturally funny scenes I have ever seen. It shows how much all the greatness of the True Faith is always interwoven with humor... Thank you from Berlin / Germany! And God bless!
Loved the interview! For the past several months St. Joseph has been one of my companions in reading the Bible. I pray to him calling him "the teacher of the Teacher" - he would have taught the child Jesus the Jewish Scriptures.
You two are really great together. I learnt so much about St Joseph that I never knew before. I found this so exciting and informative. There seems to be such richness and depth to the Catholic faith. Thank you Matthew for your ministry, it’s very helpful as I look more and more closely at the Catholic faith
Thanks for the kind words. And if I may be so bold...the Catholic faith will radically transform your life if you give a chance. I've been Catholic for more than 23 years now and am more in love with this faith now than the day I was confirmed. God bless you and may He guide you to all truth.
@@MatthewLeonard Thank you for your response Matthew. I’m an ordained Anglican priest in England, and have been so disheartened as the Church of England has moved in a ‘Progressive’ direction . For the last 4 years I have been deeply searching for truth, historical orthodoxy, and authority in the Church. I have been circling around the Catholic Church for most of those 4 years, and have come across incredibly teachers and theologians like yourself, as well as a wonderful contact in The Coming Home Network. I’m actually spending most of my time in the Middle East (another story) but currently back in the UK where at least I am able to by some Catholic books. God bless and thank you again. Jon

Where in the Bible does it tell you to pray the Rosary? A: As you know the bible does "not" tell us to pray the Rosary because this form of prayer originated only during the middle ages. )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Do we pray the Rosary to Mary or to God? The Rosary is a meditative prayer based on Scripture. When we pray the Rosary, we ask Mary to pray for us as we seek to grow closer to her son Jesus by contemplating His life, death, and Resurrection. BUT----The Holy Bible CLEARLY says in 1 Tim 2:5---For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, Does God lie??????
OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING! Wait 'til this gets out there! Honestly, I just didn't get into the year of Joseph. I wanted to, but nothing grabbed me. THIS DID!! ♥️
As expected from Dr Pitre's exposition of the Scriptures, I am blown away again. From this point on reading Matthew's genealogy litany will be seen in a new and exciting way! Thank you Dr. Pitre. Love your books. Thank you Matt.Love your podcast and the SoS..Science of Sainthood .God bless you both.
Beautiful, insightful discussion of St. Joseph. Have often hear the comment that we don't know a single word that St. Joseph uttered but Dr. Pitre's brilliant comment that there is a word we know he spoke in the NT - Jesus - the most important word that can be ever be spoken.
Thank you just came across your canel you have a new subscriber Thank you both God bless you all please pray for me St Joseph will help me quit drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes and for transportation
Praise God, this was awesome. I remember the Angel speaks to St. Joseph in a dream to name the child " Jesus " He will save his people from their sins. Hope I am not wrong 🙏
@@maryhowsrd3381 St. Joseph was King first. That's why he had to die before Our Lord's public ministry could start. The title first had to pass from St. Joseph to Jesus, which is why St. Joseph is not there when Jesus goes public as heir to David's throne.
Amazing previously unknown information about Joseph. Matt and Brant are a great team... I could listen to both of them all day. Thanks guys. Great job.
WOW!!!!! This is so incredible. I have not listened to anything like this in a long time. I picked up and learned so much from this. Thank you so much for this. And like a previous person's comment on here, I too could listen to Dr. Brant Pitre all day. And when you get Matthew Leanad together with him it's just so great. Please keep these coming and God bless you both for sharing this so simple people like myself could learn so much more and deepen my faith even more.
I recently bought Dr. Pitre's book, "Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Unlocking the Secrets of the Last Supper." It was my first encounter with his work, as books by this author are not very accessible in the Philippines, and those available often come with a hefty price tag. However, it was worth every penny. There were moments when I wept because it was really touching. Thank you so much for this podcast!
It does not matter what Origen, Augustin, Ignatius of Antioch, Dr. Brant Pitre, or the Pope believed and said, what matters MOST is what Christ Jesus taught to His Apostles that we received from them, and the "Written WORD of God" which was fully completed after the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation were completely written in around 110 A.D. which is PROFITABLE for Doctrine, for REPROOF/REBUKE, for CORRECTION, and for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS... (ref. 2 Timothy 3:16)... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
“The Return of the King” comes to my mind, when listening to this. It is so exhilarating! Do you think that Tolkien would have known this part about Joseph? I wonder. Beautiful stuff. It ads to the mystery and excitement of the Gospels.
Wow...loved this talk so much. That part at the end talking about the one Word we know for sure St. Joseph spoke in the Gospels was so heart-tugging..that one Word he spoke was literally, THE WORD made flesh. It's definitely no joke that God works in mysterious ways, my mind is blown listening to this. I had to laugh when Brant mentioned that a whole tree can grow from a tree stump because that's exactly what happened to a tree l cut down last year..It's now a fully grown tree again .☺👍
Thank you oh so much for this teaching on Saint Joseph. I have had a devotion to this powerful Saint for most of my life and, in recent years, I thought and believed that Saint Joseph was conceived without Original Sin because of His most important role as the father of Jesus, the Messiah - Prince of Peace. It makes a lot of sense that it be that way because ‘The father of a prince is always a king’. It is indeed time for Saint Joseph to take his place along side of His Son and Spouse, the ever Virgin Mary. Thank you for letting me continue to believe what I already believe but with Scripture to back up my beliefs. Praise the Lord! Alleluia. Hosannah, and amen!
And we adopted sons and daughters of God. Our Heavenly Father is King snd we sre all royal heirs. How much the evil one would want us removed! How much we need to remain humble snd submissive to God our King..
Fr Don Calloway would love this as much as l loved learning more about St Joseph. Thank you for this brilliant teaching. Blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏻
Thank you for this wonderful discussion on my favorite Saint after the Virgin Mother, Mary. Btw, I remember watching two other videos from other sources. One of them was surmising that the time around Jesus' birth must have been a Jubilee year (or after a Jubilee year), when land sold would return to the original owner. This could explain why Joseph, who had settled in Nazareth, had to return to Bethlehem for registration for taxation. Maybe among the reasons he stayed longer in Bethlehem, long enough for the Magi to find his family, was either he thought he could resettle there, to enable Jesus to strengthen His claim as Messiah, or to try to dispose of his land again, if he thought settling somewhere else was safer for the family. The other video had a small discussion about a speculation that descendants of David settled in that little village up north, all of them awaiting the Messiah--but no reason was given for it, despite Herod's wrath being a clear one. The name "Nazareth" was supposedly derived from Isaiah's prophecy that the Messiah will be born from a "branch (nasr) of Jesse" (Davidic line). This latter speculation feeds into my own leaning towards the belief that Mary herself is a descendant of David, because Jesus derives His blood and ancestry from her, although in His time, legal paternity seemed to hold more weight (e.g., in the case of levitical marriages) because that is what is entered in the genealogy records. But until I watched this video, I never thought of the true meaning of being of the royal House of David and the political implications of it under Herod and Rome. Thank you for this discussion!
I have been focused to a fault, on our church struggles of this day, i see how rich the stories are of the Bible, and it gives me peace. What a gift! Thank you.
Wow!!! Great teaching. Very spiritually nourishing wit great historical background. Thank u Dr Petri. God bls u & ua loved ones & keep all of u well, now & 4rever, thr our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. O blessed St Joseph, pray 4 us sinners, now & @ th hr of our death & help us 2 grow in virtual, amen. Thank St Joseph. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
pax so overwhelming! can you also find the line from Mary! in The Godman of M Valtorta . it says she’s fro m the royal and priestly line of Aaron ! Elisabeth was her Cousin and she was married with Zachariah who was Priest! So it’s likely that Anna was of Aaron’s line!!???? God bless Sr Mikaela
Oh, have I enjoyed this podcast. I love St Joseph so much and to learn even more wonderful facts about him is absolutely thrilling. Thank you so very much, very much.
I wish there was more talk on how to evangelize or what to do when loved ones leaves the Catholic Church. I have 3 grown sons who left the Catholic Church. My mother and my two sisters, too.
Brant Pitre was shown to me by the Blessed Virginia when I asked her to keep me away from Heresy. Along with John Bergsma and Scott Hahn. No joke, they showed up in a book list I didn't ask for.
where do I get a copy of the Church History as Dr Brant was referring to, in this video please Matt. ???? Thank you so much for your precious videos ...Stephen , Chennai, INDIA
Great episode. I truly loved it. While listening, I kept thinking of Saint Joseph as a kind of true life Aragorn (from the Lord of the Rings). That was certainly outrageous, but cool. I also reflected on the fact that Pope Francis has a deep devotion to Saint Joseph, which complements Pope John Paul II’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also explains some of their differences in rule and style.
Hi Matthew and Brant. Thank you! 💥HEY… MATTHEW LEONARD! Did you know that you have the same very unique distinctive voice that BRANDON POTTER who plays QUINTUS, the Roman praetor in THE CHOSEN has??? If anyone or yourself has been watching the awesome spectacular show THE CHOSEN Listen to the character of QUINTUS talk! You sound alike! It is amazing.😊👏 As for this St. Joseph info…very cool! Love it!
LOL!!! I kid you not that the first time I heard that actor talk, I thought I was listening to myself. (Plus, he has my hairstyle:). Hilarious. Thanks for the note:).
Yes you even look alike Not much hair! Haha! Love your talks! Hey you could be a stand in for him!! Record your voice and then if he ever gets laryngitis-they can call you! Haha not kidding. or maybe they could add you to the series as his brother! 😊
We only need LOGICAL REASONING, which unfortunately some don't have... That is the reason why God made Mankind above the Animal Kingdom... If the WORD of God (Written Inspired Scripture) is "INSUFFICIENT" (Incomplete), how can it REPROOF, CORRECT, and INSTRUCT in Righteousness that the Man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS???... (ref. 2 Timothy 3:16) "If sinful (Evil) people know how to give their children good things, how much more God our Father in Heaven"... (ref. Matt. 7:11)... With this passage, will God/YHWH give INSUFFICIENT (Incomplete) "WORD of God" (Inspire Scripture) for those who seek God, His TRUTH, and Righteousness???... NOPE, it must be SUFFICIENT/COMPLETE... As a good old saying, "Before a Person knows something is INCOMPLETE (insufficient)... one must know the COMPLETE (sufficient) first." Facts and Truth of the matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
The "Written WORD of God" (Holy Scriptures) is the Final Source of TRUTH, PROFITABLE for Doctrine, for REPROOF/REBUKE, for CORRECTION, and for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS... (ref. 2 Timothy 3:16)... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
Well ... not exactly ... it is ONE of the sources of truth. Remember nowhere in the bible does it say Sola Scriptura. Then there is the fact the true bible is a Catholic book and continues to have 7 more books than the version of the protestor Luther. Also ...there are all the writings of the Fathers of the Church from 33AD through 500AD as well and even the Didache document written somewhere around 1000 AD with elements going back to 70 AD. If you want to examine the original church ... read what those who lived it have to say. God bless you and yours.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 Before St. Paul died in around 67 A.D., he wrote to the Thessalonians (2 Thessa. 2:15) to Hold Firmly on both Spoken/Oral & Written Traditions. Why?... because the Written Tradition was just beginning to be written down at that time and had not been completed yet... Around 40 years after St. Paul died of Martyrdom (beheaded) when the Written Tradition was finally completed in around 110 A.D.... God had summarized all Christ Jesus had done on Earth which were so many that were witnessed by some, and God had selected only those with Great IMPORTANCE (relevance) with the Process of Salvation of Mankind, for if all EVENTS be written down, the whole world can not hold them... (ref. John 21:25). After the Written Inspired Scripture was completed in around 110 A.D., we must all verify and check whether the Oral/Spoken Tradition does not contradict the Written Tradition because that is the WILL and WORD of God... "If it is not WRITTEN, then it is not INCLUDED to be practiced anymore... while if is INCLUDED to be still practiced, therefore, it must have been WRITTEN down... logically speaking with a little common sense... Amen. The Oral/Spoken Tradition and Written Tradition must be UNITED as ONE... Just like the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT... Amen.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 When it comes to Religious/Spiritual Matters, there must be only ONE Church, ONE Inspired Scripture, ONE Way, ONE Life, ONE Truth, ONE Father God, ONE Son/Word/Christ Jesus, ONE Holy Spirit... can not be many sources of TRUTH... Amen. Oral/Spoken and Written Tradition must be UNITED AS ONE without Contradictions, however, if it does, the Written Tradition must overrule/ supersede the practice of the Oral/spoken Tradition... As long as no contradiction, that is fine... If it is not WRITTEN, therefore, it must be a False Teachings/doctrine/dogma... while if it is WRITTEN, therefore it must be the Biblical TRUTH. St. Paul said, "DO NOT GO BEYOND/EXCEED WHAT IS WRITTEN" (ref. 1 Corin. 4:6)... or else, if you do, God's CURSE (anathema/eternal damnation) will fall upon you." (ref. Gal. 1:8)... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
@@jvlp2046 'We must ALL verify?' No that was the job of the church and she continues in that authoritative role. Individual research .... no problem. Determination of truth .. no, that is not an individual matter. But with over 40,000 different Protest quasi Christian denominations out there ... we know individual interpretation separated from true authority witness to the error of that orientation. The Catholic church beliefs and truths do not change. The church is not authorized to do so. The truth gets clarified by the Holy Spirit ... but the revelations of Christ remain intact.
@@jvlp2046 I would ask that you present this view to the theologians at Catholic Answers. Their radio show is open to all callers and as a first time caller you would be given priority. Your comments display a real love for truth and wanting the foundation of belief to be on ROCK. I agree. Avail yourself of the Works of the Fathers of the Chuch. You will appreciate what you find there. Peace to you and your family.
This would not make Mary the Queen of the kingdom of David. Joseph mother would have been the Queen. However because he humbly passes up the throne in order to stay alive and protect his adopted son who is the heir to the davidic throne forever Mary becomes the queen of the kingdom when Jesus takes His throne. God's plan of salvation is marvelous in our sight. Amen and Alleluia.
Here I am once more: Our whole booming parish will know your names, because I will give a lecture on these ideas - mentioning and thanking you of course! Hope one day we will meet...
I love the way the House of David goes underground at the same time the Ark goes underground. 600 years later both re-emerge as Joseph and Mary (the new Ark)
Nice observation. Thank you for bringing it up. This student appreciates it.
Could listen to Brant explaining Scripture all day, every day.

I prayed to st Joseph to help me be chaste, and I’ve done it. I have such a love and admiration for him and watching this brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing.
St. Joseph, the silent and hidden King, pray for us!
Amen amen amen
Amen
This just blew me away! It made me see my patron, St. Joseph, in a new way. I could listen to Dr. Pitre for hours. Thank you, and God Bless!
For real, he is Scott Hahn 2.0

"St Joseph, the Hidden King of the Jews". Or " St Joseph, the Heir of the Throne of the Jews".
@@maryhowsrd3381 St. Joseph was King first. That's why he had to die before Our Lord's public ministry could start. The title first had to pass from St. Joseph to Jesus, which is why St. Joseph is not there when Jesus goes public as heir to David's throne.

Amazing. God bless both of you
Visibly true friendship!!! God bless u both!!
It was so fun to hear the one word we know Joseph said.😊
Thank you for this amazing commentary. What an amazing earthy father Joseph was to our Lord.
I would love to study under Dr. Bryant..
My eyes got really moistened many a time while i listening this great talks. Thank you so much Leonard & Pitre🙏🏻
pax so overwhelming!
can you also find the line from Mary!
in The Godman of M Valtorta . it says she’s fro m the royal and priestly line of Aaron !
Elisabeth was her Cousin and she was married with Zachariah who was Priest!
So it’s likely that Anna was of Aaron’s
line!!???? God bless Sr Mikaela
Dr Pitre is an inspiration
If Dr. Pitre’s book is as good as “The Life and Glories of St. Joseph” while adding more to our understanding, I’m interested.
Oh, have I enjoyed this podcast. I love St Joseph so much and to learn even more wonderful facts about him is absolutely thrilling. Thank you so very much, very much.
Profound and Full of Wisdom!
Brant Is PHENOMENAL !!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM so much! Hes taught me so much! And always remembers my Bday😅🎉❤🙏🤸♀️💃🥳
Thank you Dr Brent! This is so very interesting.
Thank you for the great interview. God bless you both👐👐🕯🕯
This was so incredibly amazing to listen to. Thank you!
Thank you for this talk. I often ask for the intercession of St. Joseph.
I wish there was more talk on how to evangelize or what to do when loved ones leaves the Catholic Church. I have 3 grown sons who left the Catholic Church. My mother and my two sisters, too.
Hi Karen. I can relate. Have you listened to Matt and Ken on RUclips? They are from chnetwork. Take a look. They help me.
Brant Pitre was shown to me by the Blessed Virginia when I asked her to keep me away from Heresy. Along with John Bergsma and Scott Hahn. No joke, they showed up in a book list I didn't ask for.
This is just too good. Really love it. You really make the Scriptures come alive. Thank you so much.
AMAZING! THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.
I love that St joseph spoke the name of Jesus
Very informative and logical discussion. Learnt so much.
where do I get a copy of the Church History as Dr Brant was referring to, in this video please Matt. ???? Thank you so much for your precious videos ...Stephen , Chennai, INDIA
Simply wow. I never would have tjought about this. I feel a closeness to St Joseph now
Great episode. I truly loved it. While listening, I kept thinking of Saint Joseph as a kind of true life Aragorn (from the Lord of the Rings). That was certainly outrageous, but cool. I also reflected on the fact that Pope Francis has a deep devotion to Saint Joseph, which complements Pope John Paul II’s devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and also explains some of their differences in rule and style.
Beautiful insights! God bless
Thank you so much for this talk. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you so much for this video. It makes me love Joseph so much more!
Now it makes more sense why St Joseph neede to die before Jesus 🤯this is amazing thing to know
Hi Matthew and Brant. Thank you!
💥HEY…
MATTHEW LEONARD!
Did you know that you have the same very unique distinctive voice that
BRANDON POTTER who plays QUINTUS, the Roman praetor in
THE CHOSEN
has???
If anyone or yourself has been watching the awesome spectacular show
THE CHOSEN
Listen to the character of QUINTUS talk!
You sound alike!
It is amazing.😊👏
As for this St. Joseph info…very cool! Love it!
LOL!!! I kid you not that the first time I heard that actor talk, I thought I was listening to myself. (Plus, he has my hairstyle:). Hilarious.
Thanks for the note:).
Yes you even look alike
Not much hair! Haha!
Love your talks!
Hey you could be a stand in for him!!
Record your voice and then if he ever gets laryngitis-they can call you! Haha not kidding.
or maybe they could add you to the series as his brother! 😊
We only need LOGICAL REASONING, which unfortunately some don't have... That is the reason why God made Mankind above the Animal Kingdom...
If the WORD of God (Written Inspired Scripture) is "INSUFFICIENT" (Incomplete), how can it REPROOF, CORRECT, and INSTRUCT in Righteousness that the Man of God may be PERFECT, thoroughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS???... (ref. 2 Timothy 3:16)
"If sinful (Evil) people know how to give their children good things, how much more God our Father in Heaven"... (ref. Matt. 7:11)...
With this passage, will God/YHWH give INSUFFICIENT (Incomplete) "WORD of God" (Inspire Scripture) for those who seek God, His TRUTH, and Righteousness???... NOPE, it must be SUFFICIENT/COMPLETE...
As a good old saying, "Before a Person knows something is INCOMPLETE (insufficient)... one must know the COMPLETE (sufficient) first."
Facts and Truth of the matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
A movie script needs to be written and produced!
im just amazed,thank you for this video,Saint Joseph,pray for us
My jaw hit the floor when he pointed out where Joseph actually apke in the Bible...and in that one word, points us to his son, just like Mary.
insightful, amazing and valuable. Thank you Dr. Brant!
Amazing!! Thank you both of you. God bless!! 🙏
Dr Pitre must be of Acadian descent. Lots of Pitre in my region of north eastern NB Canada
The "Written WORD of God" (Holy Scriptures) is the Final Source of TRUTH, PROFITABLE for Doctrine, for REPROOF/REBUKE, for CORRECTION, and for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS... (ref. 2 Timothy 3:16)... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
Well ... not exactly ... it is ONE of the sources of truth. Remember nowhere in the bible does it say Sola Scriptura. Then there is the fact the true bible is a Catholic book and continues to have 7 more books than the version of the protestor Luther. Also ...there are all the writings of the Fathers of the Church from 33AD through 500AD as well and even the Didache document written somewhere around 1000 AD with elements going back to 70 AD. If you want to examine the original church ... read what those who lived it have to say. God bless you and yours.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 Before St. Paul died in around 67 A.D., he wrote to the Thessalonians (2 Thessa. 2:15) to Hold Firmly on both Spoken/Oral & Written Traditions. Why?... because the Written Tradition was just beginning to be written down at that time and had not been completed yet... Around 40 years after St. Paul died of Martyrdom (beheaded) when the Written Tradition was finally completed in around 110 A.D....
God had summarized all Christ Jesus had done on Earth which were so many that were witnessed by some, and God had selected only those with Great IMPORTANCE (relevance) with the Process of Salvation of Mankind, for if all EVENTS be written down, the whole world can not hold them... (ref. John 21:25).
After the Written Inspired Scripture was completed in around 110 A.D., we must all verify and check whether the Oral/Spoken Tradition does not contradict the Written Tradition because that is the WILL and WORD of God... "If it is not WRITTEN, then it is not INCLUDED to be practiced anymore... while if is INCLUDED to be still practiced, therefore, it must have been WRITTEN down... logically speaking with a little common sense... Amen.
The Oral/Spoken Tradition and Written Tradition must be UNITED as ONE... Just like the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT... Amen.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 When it comes to Religious/Spiritual Matters, there must be only ONE Church, ONE Inspired Scripture, ONE Way, ONE Life, ONE Truth, ONE Father God, ONE Son/Word/Christ Jesus, ONE Holy Spirit... can not be many sources of TRUTH... Amen.
Oral/Spoken and Written Tradition must be UNITED AS ONE without Contradictions, however, if it does, the Written Tradition must overrule/ supersede the practice of the Oral/spoken Tradition... As long as no contradiction, that is fine...
If it is not WRITTEN, therefore, it must be a False Teachings/doctrine/dogma... while if it is WRITTEN, therefore it must be the Biblical TRUTH.
St. Paul said, "DO NOT GO BEYOND/EXCEED WHAT IS WRITTEN" (ref. 1 Corin. 4:6)... or else, if you do, God's CURSE (anathema/eternal damnation) will fall upon you." (ref. Gal. 1:8)... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
@@jvlp2046 'We must ALL verify?' No that was the job of the church and she continues in that authoritative role. Individual research .... no problem. Determination of truth .. no, that is not an individual matter. But with over 40,000 different Protest quasi Christian denominations out there ... we know individual interpretation separated from true authority witness to the error of that orientation. The Catholic church beliefs and truths do not change. The church is not authorized to do so. The truth gets clarified by the Holy Spirit ... but the revelations of Christ remain intact.
@@jvlp2046 I would ask that you present this view to the theologians at Catholic Answers. Their radio show is open to all callers and as a first time caller you would be given priority. Your comments display a real love for truth and wanting the foundation of belief to be on ROCK. I agree. Avail yourself of the Works of the Fathers of the Chuch. You will appreciate what you find there. Peace to you and your family.
soooo beautiful ❤️ thank you both, you are both amazing
This would not make Mary the Queen of the kingdom of David. Joseph mother would have been the Queen. However because he humbly passes up the throne in order to stay alive and protect his adopted son who is the heir to the davidic throne forever Mary becomes the queen of the kingdom when Jesus takes His throne.
God's plan of salvation is marvelous in our sight. Amen and Alleluia.
Lol the chemistry between you two was lovely. Clearly a great friendship 💞
Listening here, didn’t know you had this! 😍 I LOVE SAINT JOSEPH 🤎 I pray to him t/o the day…… 🕯

Here I am once more: Our whole booming parish will know your names, because I will give a lecture on these ideas - mentioning and thanking you of course! Hope one day we will meet...
