Thank you Father This is such an amazing important lesson and Bible explanation… sometimes things we weren’t taught as young adults.. I love this and enjoy it because it enlightens me immensely 🙏🏼
Thank you Father! I’ve always thought, I would like to have been a disciple on that road to Emmaus, with Christ as he was explaining salvation history, beginning with the old testament, and all the way up to his suffering, death and resurrection. I feel like you just gave me the condensed version of that amazing road to Emmaus. God bless you and thank you for your priesthood.

Father! Really..please talk of the Church Fathers! Why bring a women priestess into your homily!! You gave her praise and then you make fun of how many people are making the most important decision of their lives. So what if it takes an extra hour to bring His children into the Church be proud. I know its takes time but that is your vocation we have 19 people that are converting and we definitely not making jokes of the most important day in their lives and in the Church. We are already losing people to the world why are you helping the push. St. Therese of Lisieux: Our Lord does not look at greatness of our actions, or even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them” Where did fear play a role in my thoughts, words, actions or inactions? Ignatian…
Very well said. As soon as I heard him say the word "Priestess" I was taken aback! We can't appeal to sentiment and emotion and prove how "open" and "senstitive" we are at the expense of our faith tradition and teaching of the Church. I will be praying for him but won't be following him any more. He may fill the church, but he may soon find that the people in the pews aren't there to follow Christ, but to LEAD Christ in the ways they prefer.
Father and the rest of our parish are THRILLED that Easter vigil is going to go on for a very long time. The number of people coming into full communion with the Church this Easter, 36 in total, is a tangible result of what is going on in this parish. There is a growing love of the faith and the Eucharist that can be both seen and felt at our Masses. People see and experience what is going on in the world and are finding meaning and comfort and direction here.
I am not sure if you are a parishioner or not, but you are clearly misinterpreting the nuance humor here about the length of the Easter Vigil. Father and the Deacon speak weekly about how blessed and overjoyed we are to be welcoming so many new people to the church and to our parish. Needing to stay up late is clearly a good thing. It was obviously not a complaint. Lol. Additionally, if you listen to any of Father’s homilies, including this one, his teachings are rooted in biblical truth and consistent with the church’s teachings. Every.single.one. God bless!
Father, I've been following you but when you quote a priestess you lost me. We have many wonderful women religious in our Church history, many amazing women visionaries, and holy women throughout the Church history. But women priests blurrs the lines and will have the effect of pushing this issue being discussed in the Synod's going on right now. This isn't about whether she may or may not have good insights, it's bringing the title "priestess" into your church. This is not good. You are playing on emotion and sentiment with this and no doubt you will get great applause from those who want to change the church. But we will face our Maker when no one is applauding and will have to answer, alone with the Lord, if we have lived and defended the faith.
If that is all your got out of this sermon, you really missed the point. Someone, in this case the Episcopal ”Priestess”, can opine something that is true and pertinent to the topic at hand without having to be the source of all that is right and good. Father acknowledging her position was actually very helpful. It alerted me to the that fact that if I were to ever read her works, I now know that I need to read them with some sense of caution and suspicion. We can’t pretend that truth (little “t”) doesn’t exist outside of the Church. But, it can be helpful in our search and longing for the Truth (capital “T”) without wanting to remake the Church.
@@donnabishop5730 Why bring in the thoughts of a priestess? ANY Priestess? If he felt compelled to bring in the wisdom of women in the church, there is an endless well of amazing women in the church. It's not about whether she has some wisdom. Martin Luther had some wisdom... and then proceeded to begin a process that has resulted in splitting away to result in now over 25,000 Christian churches all believing they have each found the way. Father has a lot of wonderful insights, great passion and a genuine heart to be sure. But to softely slide in a subject, women priests, into the Catholic discussion doesn't help in a church that is already compromising on many other fronts. You can be sure that some who hear him will say " Father seemed OK with a woman priest" regardless of what he says or how he positions it. People hear what they want to hear.
Such a Powerful message I haven’t heard in a Long time
Brought to us with so much passion
Thank you Father
Glad you enjoyed! God bless :)
