Our Lord meets us where we are every day. He has loved me at my worst and at my best. He is always faithful. He loves me in my faults and weaknesses and also in the times I struggled with sin. Can I not love someone this way either? Yes I can. I can love Him and others because He first loved us. If someone isn’t lovable to you, remember how much God has loved you and still loves you now.
Some people are difficult to love, and others are downright abusive (emotionally, physically, or psychologicaly). The latter can require permanent distance. Love does not always look the same from one rationship to another. Thank you for making that distinction.
God never promised us that it would be easy. Anything that is worth attaining, getting, is worth doing what is hard. We are the Church Militant. We are trying to get to Heaven for eternity.
I started praying for God to give me the grace to learn how to truly love my neighbour's. It's not easy to accept and like/love others but we need to look past everything else and have a childlike faith in love. We are the ones who complicate things. I also ask mother Mary and saint Joseph to teach me how to love.
💙 I hear you saying, as Christians, we are called to love unconditionally... & not giving up when the tough gets going! People are not perfect but that we persevere and not give up even when they demonstrate challenging behaviour .. 💙
I'm a sinner myself and still lacking many things in God, but what I think is this, to love doesn't and mustn't depend on the condition of the person you love, but it ought to depend totally in your willingness to love and to give as God loves.
I loved the teaching that we don't want to be defined by our character flaws, yet this is all too often how we define others. Let people be who they are and love them anyway.
You have to give people permission to be broken. A huge challenge in this time, when everyone is on social media whining or promoting themselves. But this has always been the case. Narcissists, psychopaths, etc. have always existed. I limit my time with the toxic people, who may include my family. Great advice here.
Thanks, Fr. Mark Mary this is what I needed to hear, because I'm going through difficulties with my husband of 49 years + of marriage. My name is Ruth please say a little prayer of me and my family. 😥
It’s hard to love your enemy. My way of loving them is to sincerely pray for them and leave them alone. But I don’t love them so much that I would stick with them in spending precious time.
One time someone once said something really bad to my face on numerous occasions, and i pray for him but I would or will NOT associate with him as he knows how to bring a person down. I pray for his soul, and will have nothing further or personal to do with him. He has known me over 52 years, and mocks me. But I leave his up to God.
Yeah, Fr. Mike Schmit said once that forgiving others is so key because holding on to resentments and anger is a mortal sin. But forgiveness is different than reconcilation. We are not obligated to keep those people close to us. Just forgive them, pray for them, wish them well, and "love them from a distance."
Im blessed to work retail. I have an opportunity to show so many people God in my actions and in my words. By giving them a warm smile, engaging with people in conversation, and making allowance for people when life is not working out for them.
I see them as my stairs to heaven. Carry your cross and follow Jesus. Thank you so much I was talking to my friends about this before the video. God is good.
When faced with such 'difficult' people - whether neighbours, family or work colleagues etc......one often wonders is there really a God because the strength required to forgive these ar*&s*eholes makes it really impossible because they (the ones who give us grief) are relentless and we have no reprieve. Especially if its colleagues or neighbours - you can't really 'escape' them.
I feel this one. Family - you can limit the time you see them if. Oy immediate family. colleagues - hard but lean on your other colleagues. I don’t think it’s wrong to make them aware of how you feel - if they don’t know they can’t change. And if they can’t change get the support of others. But we might be that difficult person for someone else so there’s that . Blessings xx
Hate the sin but not the sinner. Forgive and move on. At the same time, we need to put boundaries and pray for one another. We remember St. Monica who prayed for her son St. Augustine, 30 years later, her prayers were answered. We pray to Our Lady for her intercession.😘🙏

Thank you, Fr. Mark-Mary. I think a lot of it is context and intention. I sent a text message to my friend the other day, and it really upset her. Then, I said precisely the same thing over the phone, and it completely discharged the situation, as she could hear the tinge of humor in my voice. It is best to assume that people have good intentions. Another aspect that I think is important in allowing people to be, is that we have peace within ourselves. I think pretty much everyone is lovable in a relatively easy manner if we have enough time and patience to grant one another. I heard an interview with a singer in a band I used to like, and he said that he is at a point in his life where he can pretty much love anyone, provided he has time to spend with them and hear their story, where they have come from, and so forth. As far as breaking communion, that was something my email friend found attractive about Catholicism when she converted; no matter how bad the situation, one doesn't break communion (she thought that would have applied well to her relationship at the time). Thanks a lot. God bless you and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal😊
Thank you Sean! Well said and a beautiful supplement to Father's message! It's truly amazing how differently we can see people once we spend some time with time and get to know them a bit. God bless you!
What a great message I’m so glad I watched this video I try hard to love people that annoy me and I ask God forgiveness when I fail to do it. Thanks Fr Mark 😇🙏🏼
Thanks so much for your spot on talk. Just chill out and give people room to be, as Jesus does with us all, but said so aptly. Your heart to heart should be featured on the news for all to absorb. God bless you and your ministry.
Thank you! This really helped me to stop and think about how I expect my family to act when we're all together! I will choose this year to let everyone be who they are!! God bless!
All you said is so true.the key is to accept each others idiosyncrasies and see the same bothersome things come into our mind and admit we have the same.best of all pray for them to 6rea
Well I have a lovely friend who came to stay for me for Christmas. I had to make 4 calls to the Samaritans during her stay so that I would not offend her. Everything I say is disagreed with and it is exhausting (I have depression and anxiety). I have accepted that that is who she is and I pray for her, but no way am I inviting her back for Christmas - I have been trying to decide what this dynamic is and I think it comes from her own sense of inadequacy. So I pray for her, hav to recognise my limitations. She is also into Buddhism and is a lapsed Catholic and I find my need to be with Christians is very strong and I am saddened that she has been dragged into New Age religion.
Jesus ate with sinners (Prostitutes and tax collectors) not to accept their behavior, but to call them to repentance. If after years, the character flaws remain, there’s no need to socialize or be in close communion with them. Please pray for the true repentance of all those living in adulterous and unholy unions especially those who scandalize their children through their wicked lifestyle choices.
1. Does that apply to organizations too? Like, if you realized your church was actually an organized crime network specializing in child sex abuse, would it be better to sever ties? 2. I totally agree. I assume you mean the wicked lifestyle choice of subjecting ones children to pedophiles in church. It really needs to stop.

What A huge Nugget! ✔Learning to Let Go and to let our neighbors, other people and such be the way they are annoying (frustrating to us). Doing this Is a surrender that happens slowly for us.

This video was for me. Going to watch a lot of times to see if a can take knowlegde. Thank you so much Father you are a true blessing. God bless you always!!
Very helpful Fr Mark-Mary! We should be gentle, loving,supportive and kind like Jesus. Then stand back and let Jesus work in every relationship we have. We can’t see into a persons soul, or what influences they have had in their life to make them who they are. We all have annoying habits, perhaps we should try to work on our own annoying habits… like one of mine is writing too much 😅😅😅 God Bless🙏🏻😃
Thank you so much Father Mark, I really needed to hear this message today. God bless you. Btw, I pray the Rosary with you and Brother Malaki twice a day.
Please make it undeniably clear, we DO NOT TOLERATE ABUSERS. This includes physical abuse (including “manhandling”, jostling another) and emotionally abuse (bulling, harassment, gossip). Thank you good Sir.
So ... this is the answer from Lord : Let them be ( I am having hard time from my family and have been asking Lord for help , asking HIM how should I handle)... but they are the ones disturbing me because of their greedy wants.
I am in SO MUCH PAIN. Fighting suicidal ideal every day. And my ex-husband who abused me emotionally, now continues to torment me despite me begging him to stop. He knows I am in antidepressant withdrawal and in severe depression, and not even for the sake of our kids will he have mercy on me. It's so horrible to be hated. It's like thick toxic sludge thrown at you, your heart stabbed. Lord, please soften his heart and make me meek, so I can survive this.
We must "Love"The Unloved and unlovable 💕.Jesus 💘 Loves each one of us unconditionally.🙏Every person is carrying their own burdens and suffering within themselves.
I usually absolutely agree 100% with whatever you say and I love following you! But truth be told I am very relieved that towards the end of this video you did say something to the effect of " if the person in your life is totally toxic and you really can't be with them or have them participate in family gatherings they should not" this was the case for me unfortunately for the second year in a row I could not include my oldest daughter who is complete narsisiis (sorry for the spelling ) and comes in like a wrecking ball and will literally ruin every single holiday-well this year she has pushed all of us to our limits and I could not stomach the sight of her and she was not welcomed . I think she had learned more about herself this x-mas than she has in her whole life! Yeah what it is really like not to have people love you. We were the best family anyone could have asked for and she grew up in a beautiful mansion. She never counted her blessings big part of her problem, if you ask me. Anyway it was the absolute right decision for our family to keep her away for the holiday ( which I work feverishly for) was perfect!! I do not regret my decision at all (I believe some cases are very critical this was one of them) in fact I prayed about it a lot -believe me when I say I felt god did not want her here either. Remember Gods ways are not our ways- Amen
This is great to hear. Can you apply this in a classroom setting? I am high school teacher, and I have difficult students who can be very disruptive. I have a classroom plan for dealing with this, but I am always looking to improve.

Some people are difficult to love, and others are downright abusive (emotionally, physically, or psychologicaly). The latter can require permanent distance. Love does not always look the same from one rationship to another. Thank you for making that distinction.
It’s so hard in this day and age. The differences are at polar opposites in many moral areas.

What about when you thought you knew someone and they changed so drastically...it is very difficult.
....to the point of abuse? That was my dilemma. We are allowed to leave that and walk away.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
