I’ve been practicing mental prayer using my imagination as suggested by this series. In a favorite scenario, I am my four year old self picking wildflowers in a clearing for the Holy Souls in Purgatory with St Therese and Our Lady. It’s always a little different if I let my self become small. Today, I climbed upon my Blessed Mother’s lap and she wrapped her mantle around me saying, “Am I not here who am your Mother?” I put my little hand on her pregnant belly then pressed my lips there saying, “Baby Jesus! Baby Jesus! I love you!” And now, as I share that moment with you, my eyes are full of tears for the amazing Grace that is mine. Thank you for helping me to discover this abundantly healing experience!
St Joseph, watchful guardian of the Holy Family, most loving father, most valiant defender, aid us from on high, shield us with your constant protection, and teach us the ways of interior life. St Joseph, pray for us!
Wow thank you father for such insight to Genealogy I feel so thankful for the grace that am Catholic . And so full of gratitude to belong to this religion
Thank you father! This is amazing learning. Keep saying, "What it is saying here is..." It is extremely helpful when you put what you read to us in your own words afterwards...Good teaching technique! Looking forward to VLX 4
@Fr.DaveNix , having completed @FrDonaldCalloway,MIC Consecration to St Joseph four times now (once with Fr Calloway via his RUclips channel), I mistakenly thought I had probably "learned it all" only to have heard something new with your video. St Joseph was the hidden King of Israel. WOW! I LOVE IT!!👍👍 ITE AD IOSEPH! 😇
Thank you Father Nix....I’m so glad St Joseph led me to you....I just made my Consecration to St Joseph on Fathers Day under the guidance of Fr Calloway
Thank you Fr Nix. This was fascinating. I had never given the genealogy much thought prior to your explanation, but Fr Lapide;s writing gives very useful context. On another topic, I thought it amusing that in Douglas Adam's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is... 42! Coincidence?
Came here to bring up the same thing. I wonder if it was an angel's sense of humor. A vocal atheist unknowingly wrote a whole series with "42=the answer to Life the Universe and Everything" as its central pillar.
Thank you father for the narration, I have experienced miracles when requested intersession from St. Joseph Truely foster Father of Jesus , the Messiah It's even wonderful the church fathers have given us such great and worthy insight
Thank you, Father. This is stuff that gets me fired-up as a Catholic... in the best possible way! I will be here for the complete program. Thank you and God bless you
Thank you Fr. This series is really helping me pray-study the Bible and so much better. This is the third time I've watched this video and been taking notes, yes, the genealogy seems so 'alive and lit up' for me after this. I'm so glad you mentioned "primary sources and not modern protestant sources" because the latter has been my experience of Bible Study guided by a Jesuit priest in Goa, India - which of course, I'd long since discontinued for various faith reasons.
This is great stuff, and this series is great, because I was trying to learn mental prayer through books, mainly because mental prayer is a requirement of the Auxilium Christianorum. I pray that I (and all) have much success is the endeavor of mental prayer. I need it, I am constantly under siege, and will be likely my entire life.
Praying for you, Fr. David. Thank you so very much for your teachings......very helpful to me.... Clear, simple and thorough....... Thank you very much. Thank YOU, LORD JESUS, Mama Mary and St. Joseph.
Dear Father Nix. I wanted to thank you cor these important lessons through which I hope to be blessed with friendship of our Blessed LORD & Saviour Jesus! Please pray for my perserverance.
I pray for your perseverance, mine, @Fr.DaveNix , and for all of our Lady's children... "Pater Noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum, fiat volúntas tua sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie, et dimítte nobis débita nostra sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris, et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem, sed líbera nos a malo. Amen."🙏😇
St. Joseph was the hidden King of Israel!? The Lineage thing proves it must be so, if one even starts by looking at Christ and go backwards. But to think that St. Joseph was the hidden king. Wow. Much to meditate on that alone! Thank you for this series, Father. I love that you're schooling us with Cornelius A Lapide's wisdom.
Wow! Just started this series today and have listened to three :) Love your expansion on the genealogy of Christ. It is very rich - lots more there I'm sure but not for a15 min video. Thank you Fr - I'm really enjoying all your videos.
Wow how amazing! I did not know the in depth genealogy of St Joseph and that both he and the Blessed Mother were of the same tribe. Thank you for this - looking forward to VLX 4
Thank you Father - this is exactly what I’ve been looking for - a solid demonstration of mental prayer - to actually walk through it step by step...thank you for leading and teaching us this method to go deeper in our prayer life. God bless your ministry abundantly.
When I was reading the genealogy one of the books I read pointed out that Jesus genealogy mentioned a couple of women that may not have been the MOST respected women for various cultural reasons. These women would have been left out in most cases. But how amazing is it to realize that JESUS CLAIMED THEM. That while we may never do anything great, we might be the ancestor of a great Saint (definitely not Jesus). It reiterates the love Jesus has for us, the mercy he has for repenting sinners, and the importance that our every action point to God.
Wonderful, Father. Is it possible to slow down when you are reading from a book? When you were reading around the 9:20 minute/second, for example, I had difficulty understanding some of the words. English is not my native tongue.
Another resonance in Scripture - "David" written in Hebrew (which uses letters to represent numbers) symbolizes the number 14. Christ is the third 14 of the line of David.
Hi father, is there a book that talks about Mary and Joseph in their relationship with Jesus and how this relationship “shot” them into the stratosphere of spiritual excellenence in the plan of salvation? I have a motherly relationship with Mary and an honoring of st Joseph but not in the strong terms of other authors. “We fly unto to thee”, etc. but i say to myself i fly to the father, son and Holy Spirit first. I will also stay tuned to your vlx. Blessings, bill with Mary and
Hello father. Dr. Marshal in his video mentions the day Jesus died as April 3, 33. You quoted him as March 3, 33. Am I missing something. Thank you and God bless.
07:34 was strange. Fr. Nix you say: Until Christ but right after sounds: Anti Christ :-(. It´s very weird. My native language is not English so sometimes it is a bit hard because it goes to fast. I want to thank you for these courses, I believe it will help me very much. I have spread the word to others hoping they will find this gem. God bless you fr.!
I’m finally catching up. It’s all very interesting especially about the role and status of St. Joseph. I finally understand why it is believed that the BVM and St. Joseph are from the same tribe. Thank you so much for all you do. Blessings.
@@angelicacalvet6708 I think you're probably mistaken. I'm sure he was referring to priests who do not wear their clerical attire in favor of wearing "civilian" clothes. What Fr. Nix is wearing looks more like a monk's habit and I suspect has something to do with his status as a hermit? Either way it would be best to get clarification before casting such an accusation at a priest whose heart is clearly in the right place.
Wow! Father, that means that Jesus was the ONLY son of Joseph otherwise his eldest son by a "previous marriage" (as some Christians hold that St. Joseph was married before and had other children) would have been the lawful heir to the crown of Israel!
Saint Joseph is Jesus’ lawful father (his adopted father not a foster father but a father) Let us remember that to adopt and to foster are not the same thing. These terms although used interchangeably are not longer the same thing. Therefore, it should be clarified and recognized that Joseph is Jesus’ father- here on earth with all the rights and responsibilities of a parent-though not biologically.

This was excellent! Looking forward to the upcoming ones. A list of books referenced would be great. Praying for you 🙏
Thank you!! Looking forward to this and hoping i can keep up at 3 days/week.

You can slow down RUclips videos in the settings. Hope this helps.

Can we get links to the books you mention?
I second this request!
I don’t know if amazon still does affiliation links, if they do this can be another way to raise money.
Loretto press has it

Father you just made "The answer is 42" make sense. 😆
This video was excellence! Thank you so much. Is that book still available?
Can you put up links to Cornelius?

Wow. The kingship of Jesus is lawfully inherited from Joseph! Of course that would have to be recorded.
As a secular Carmelite, I am happy to be joining you. It will help me to meditate which is part of my prayer rule. Thank you.

It wasn’t a “ quasi democratic system of government.”. It was LITERALLY A THEOCRACY.
